Capital Waiting LIST
For Phones Cut 10
1861 at Year End
By Edword c. Stone

During 1947, the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. reduced the
peak of 23,988 orders for telephones
to 1851 at the year end, H. RAN
dolph Maddox, president, stated IN
his annual report out today. Te)e-
phones in service passed the 100000
mark, a net l947 gain Of 23,955.
Financial results were "disap-
pointing" Mr.. Maddox said. The
ratio of income to invested capital
declined to the lowest point in 27
wears, 3.83 per cent compared with
$40 in 1916. However, the increase
in rates granted by the PUG will
yield $2,018, 900 additional gross this
year and help offset increased labor
expenses of $3,700,o00 in the last
two years.
To meet the continuing demand
for service, the company expended
sl5,529,416 for plan additions, an in
crease of 81 per cent over 1946
Operating revenues of $29,534, ,636
compared with $29 ,446,4 in 1946
Expenses before taxes increased ST.
1928 or 9.6 per cent to record
high Of S24,442,837. Taxes totaled
s2,702 $50, Mr.. Maddox said.
Waller Scores High Taxes.
In his annual report as president
of the International Bank, jackson
Place, John r. Waller scores the ex-
cessive cost of Federal, State anc
local government. Existing taxes, ht
asserts, are now beyond the capacity
of American taxpayers to meet anc
we consider 1t a duty to war;
against these wild excesses before
it is too late"
Because of international and do
mestic uncertainties, the Jackson
place institution was most conserva-
tive in its commitments during the
wear. The bank ended 1947 with
resources of $1,024,746 Austin r
Waller, brother of John, is vice
president.

NJ. T. would insure the future of
this country.
1t is quite difficult to reconcile
this double talk of our Army and
its leaders. 1t has promised equal
treatment to Negroes before. Sec
ton "A of the Selective Service
and Training Act of 1910 forbade
racial discrimination. Yet this
clause was not worth the paper it
was printed on. 1t was wilfulIy VIC
lated by the Army as a matter of
policy and the violations were up
held by the courts.
The record of the Army's treat
ment Of the Negro during the last
war was certainly a disgraceful
one. The uniform of the U. S. Army
offered him no protection from Jim
Crow in interstate travel. His uni
form was no protection against
numerous humiliations, lynchings
and other injustices. He was sub
ject to the degrading experience of
being treated as a second class
citizen by his own government that
conscripted him in the name of de-
mocracy.
The present U. NJ. T. bill H. r.
4278 which the Army is advocating
for the spiritual good of our youth
would foster Jim Crow on this same
youth at their most impressionable
age. This bill now before Congress,
does not even mention racial dis
elimination.
If as the Army states that, PREF
udices are un-Christian, un-Amer-
lean and dangerous to democracy"
how can it be reConciled that under
U. NJ. T. they would foster this
same prejudice by the segregation
of trainees?
If prejudice means disunity and
endangers world peace, as quotes
the Army, then under the present
U. NJ. T. bill H. R. 427S, the Army
is guilty Of endangering world
peace by advocating the same mas
ter race notion of the Nazi philos-
ophy, and even though this same
Army stamped the Nazi hordes in
the dust, the Nazis have achieved
an theological victory.
World peace can only be achieved
by democratic practice, not just
democratic philosophy. If the Unit
ed States Army does not allow the
Negro to participate fully and
equally within its own ranks, then
the United States cannot be a mis-
siOnary to the world in establish
ing the supreme value Of the indi-
vidual until it sets its own house
in order first.
