Transit Profit Report
Indicates 1.5-CentFare
|WiII NOT MaferiaIize

A brighter earnings picture for
the Capital Transit Co. indicated to-
day the likelihood that District
residents would not be called upon
to pay a 15-cent single fare on
streetcars and buses.
The company, however, still plans
to ask for some sort of rate increase
to yield fair and reasonable re-
turn" E. c. Giddings, vice presi-
dent of the company, said applica-
ton for an increase would be made
weeks"
Requests for a 15-cent fare anc
elimination of the weekly pass
were mentioned as possibilities last
September, during the pay scale ar
bitration hearings, when the COM
pany was running into monthly de-
fcits.
The earnings statement issued
yesterday showed that, in the first
quarter of this year, the company
had a net income of $112,131. This
compares with a deficit OF $179,851
for the first quarter of 1s47. The
net loss for all of 1947 was about
500, 600.
Mr.. Giddings said the company
before it asks for a fare increase
wants to study the effect of the
economies which have been placeo
in operation.
1t was indicated that, If earnings
are stabilized at the present more
favorable rate, it is logical to as
sumo that new fares at the scale
mentioned last September Woule
not be sought.
The number of passengers carried
has shown substantial drop
Revenue passengers in the first
quarter totaled 87,650,770, or 9,1l6,'
691 fewer than were carried in the
comparable quarter of last year.

Primary Races
Nearing Climax
In Maryland
Democrats Split
In Four Districts
As Voting Neurs
Nv ,bs Associated Press

BALTIMORE, April 24.-Wlth but
nine days remaining before the May
3 Maryland primaries, races for the
congressional nominations in four
of the six districts are building up
to a heated climax.
Factions within the Democratic
Party have split wide open in the
first, second, third and fourth dis
tricts.
Perhaps the most unusual contest
has developed on the Eastern Shore,
where four Democrats hope to take
the first district seat now held by
Representative Miller, Republican.
Contestants for the nomination
are S. Scott Beck, Chestertown: for
mer State Senator Earl Bennett,
Cambridge: Delegate E. Peter Rich
ardson, Berlin, and Harold L. Lore
man, jr., Salisbury.
Miller Unopposed.
Representative Miller is un-
opposed for Republican re-nomina-
ton.
A city-county fight is in progress
in the second district. where Repre-
sentative Meade, a Baltimorean. is
seeking a second term. The race is
further complicated by intra-party
warfare in both Baltimore County
and the city.
The three county commissioners
have indorsed State Senator Will
liam P. Bolton of Towson.
Other Democratic aspirants for
the nomination are Lawrence P.
Boyce and Richard F. Crook, Of
Baltimore County, and A. Paul
Conor and John B. Kennedy, Of
Baltimore.
Things are even more compli-
Gated in the 3rd and 4th district
races. Both districts are entirely
within Baltimore City, where DEM
ocratic politics are in such state
of flux that even longtime OBJ
servers of the political scene hesi-
tate to hazard what will happen
next.
The two leading contenders in
the Bird are Representative Garmatz
and Anthony F. Didomenico.
Didomenico Has Strong Backing.
Mr. Didomenico, a young lawyer
who was elected twice to the House
of Delegates as political independ-
ent, and made the City Council last
year without organization support,
has many political figures backing
him in his present bid for office.
State Controller James j. Lacy.
the Baltimorean who was 'front.'
runner in Maryland-wide election
returns two years ago. threw his
support behind Mr.. Didomenico last
night.
Mr.. Lacy also publicly advocated
the denomination of Representa-
tive Fallon of the 4th district.
Other members of the old combi-
nation are working for the nominal
ton of Leo H. Mccormick, former
State OPA director.
5th and 9th Less Explosive.
Additional Sd district aspirants
are Paul E. Burke, Stefan Kendzej-
ski and Stephen B. Peddicord.
The rest of the 4th district list Is
made up of Philemon B. Coulter,
Henry T. Fields, Harry Kemper, Isa-
dor Roman and Sam H. Sonders.
Less explosive Democratic races
are in progress in the fifth and sixth
districts.
Representative Sasscer is opposed
by George Sachse in the fifth.
Will Allen, Bethesda newspaper
man; F. Byrne Austin of Takoma
Park, Dawson j. HORNE of Myers
vile and Thomas O'Connell of Sill
'ver Spring are seeking the sixth
district Democratic nomination.
Representative Beall. Frostburg
Republican, is unopposed for re-
nomination.

Negroes Glad, Many Whitest lrked
Over Restrictive Covenant Decision

WASHINGTON, May Is. GAN
P) - Negro home owners and
prospective property owners are
still rejoicing over the supreme
courts decision to outlaw re-
strictive covenants, while many
whites are expressing bitter re-
sentiment.
Minority groups have waited
anxiously for nearly four months
for the decision o fthese cases
originating in Michigan, Missouri
and the District of Columbia,
which we're argued before supreme
court in aJnuary.
The opinion handed down by
Chief Justice Fred Vinson de-
clared that the covenants them
selves were legal but were judic-
tally unenforceable because they
deny equal protection of laws to
all citizens.
AS proof that the enforcement
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-05-13

of restrictive covenants by state
courts was illegal, the chief JUS
tice quoted the 14th amendment
which "declares that all persons,
whether colored or white, shall
stand equal before the laws of the
states and in regard to the colored
race, for whose protection the
amendment was primarily design
ed. that no discrimination shall
be made against them by law be-
cause O ftheir color"
A separate opinion was issued
in the Washington case because
the District of Columbia does not
come under the 18th amendment
of the Constitution which applies
only to states. Therefore the opin-
ion on the D. C. case stated that
such covenants must be abolished
as they were mot consistent with
the public policy of the United
States"
