In Richmond Recessed.
Until December Z
BY the Associofsd Press

RICHMOND. Va. Oct. 1.-Cross
examination in the Chesapeake g.
Potomac Telephone Co. rate case
ended abruptly yesterday and the
State Corporation Commission re-
cessed the hearing until Decem-
Der IL.
The end came while DR.. Her.
bert B. Dorau. New York Univer-
sity professor, retained by the c. &
P. as an expert on corporate n
nance, was on the stand.
In response to a question from
Norman S. Elliott, S. c. c. counsel,
DR.. Dorau said the fact utility
was regulated did not insure the
company a fair return.
Commission Chairman H. Les
ter Hooker obviously was irritated.
At this point, the commission
called a 10-minute recess. When
the hearing was resumed, both
Mr.. Elliott and Morton Waller
stein. counsel for objectors to c.
& P.'s request for rate increases
to yield approximately $4,000.000
a year. said they had no further
questions to ask the witness.
Prior to the exchange between
the commissioners and DR.. Dorau,
Mr.. Elliott started line of ques-
tioning designed to show that if
increases such as those proposed
for the Virginia company were
spread Nation wide. the American
Telephone g. Telegraph Co., par
ent corporation, could pay double
the regular SO dividend.
Mr.. Dorau refused first to agree
the Virginia company was an in
tegral part of the Bell System and
said it was a separate corporation
wholly owned by the parent"
He declined to give an estimate
in dollars and cents on his con-
clusion the company needed a
return of 61a per cent on its in
veStmentS.

Mrs. Ruth Maxwell. 20. yes
terday was acquitted in Alexan-
dria Corporation Court of a
charge of numbering her soldier
husband. Corpl. Gardner Maxwell,
with a milk bottle.
The all-male jury deliberated IS
minutes before returning the not
guilty verdict shortly before 7
o'clock last night.
commemorative Attorney How
ard w. Smith, jr., had asked for
a second degree murder convic-
ton which carries a maximum
penalty of 20 years. Second de-
gree murder is unprecedented
killing, but is a more serious
charge than manslaughter.
Mrs. Maxwell took the stand
to tell about a fight with her
husband July 80 in front of their
rooming house. The fight, she
said. began with an argument
at the non-commissioned officers
club at Fort Belvoir where Corpl.
Maxwell was stationed. The
argument was about change for
a dollar. She said she thought
the quarrel was settled until her
husband grabbed her wallet as
they reached home in the 700
block of South Washington street,
Alexandria, and said he was not
going to let her In the house.
Charges He. Kicked Her.
She said he knocked her to the
ground, tore off her blouse and
kicked her when she tried to get
her keys from him. She said she
picked a milk bottle in the vesti-
bule of the house and hit him
to try to break the grip he had
on her arm.
The milk bottle broke when
Mrs. Maxwell struck her husband
and severed a main artery in his
neck, causing him to bleed to
death, according to testimony.
Police who arrived at the scene,
and Corpl. Levi Hedglin also sta
toned at Fort Belvoir and who
lived in the same rooming house.
testified Mrs. Maxwell held her
hand over the wound in her hus-
bands neck trying to stem the
flow of blood.
Mrs. Maxwell testified her hus-
band had beaten her when he
was drinking on previous occa-
sions. Early in July she said he
struck her in the back, fractur-
ing a vetebrae. She said she was
in the station hospital at Fort
Belvoir two weeks, but told doctors
the injury was caused by fall.
Testimony on Drunkenness.
Sergt. Bernheld Mccarthy. jr.,
who was Corpl MaxWell's i'm
mediate superior. testified the
murdered man was heavy drink
er. Sergt. Mccarthy said he
recalled Corpl. Maxwell was re-
morseful about how he treated his
wife on several occasions. He said
Corpl Maxwell said in his pres
ence that he had caused his wife's
back injury.
Mrs. Maxwell, who was defended
by attorneys Walter I. Young and
William Moor Kabler. was con-
graduated after her acquittal by
soldiers who formerly served with
her husband, and their wives. Mrs.
Maxwell, a former waitress, said
she planned to return to South
Dakota where her two children by
a former marriage are living with
| her father.

DistrictAsked
To Lift Curb on
Virginia Doctors
Arlington Delegates
Seek to Delay New
$50 License Fee

Arlington's two delegates to the
Virginia General Assembly today
asked the District Commission on
Licensure to rescind its new order
requiring Virginia physicians to
pay ST for each patient they treat
in the District. The order went
into effect at midnight.
Formerly. Virginia doctors could
treat Washington patients by TAX
ing out a 81 annual license.
In their letter to the District
agency. j. Maynard 'Magruder and
George Damn asked that the ef-
fective date of the new license
regulation be held off four months
until the Virginia General Assem-
bly, meets.
$50 License Required.
The Districts action was taken
because Virginia law requires out
of-State doctors to take out an
annual $50 license to practice in
Virginia. This law has been ig-
nored to large extent in the SUBJ
urban area, however.
The letter from the Arlington
delegates declares that the new
regulation will work a hardship
on hundreds of Arlingtonians who
now have or may have members
Of their families in Washington
hospitals who naturally prefer
their family DOCTOR"
Mr.. Damn and Mr. Magruder
suggested that the problem be re-
ferred to the Interstate Coop
Grafton Commission of Virginia for
study before the Legislature meets.
State Senator Charles r. Fenwick
of Arlington already has an
nounced he will introduce bill
at the next session to permit reci-
procity between the two jurisdic-
tions.
The unWarranted revocation
without customary professional
cause completely ignores the in
terests of the people and also ig-
nores the fact that many thou
sands of dollars are contributed
by Virginia residents to Washing
ton hospitals" the delegates wrote.
DR.. John T. Hazel, president Of
the Arlington Medical Society,
said he cannot understand why
the District should force the issue
now when efforts are being made
to have the Virginia Assembly
modify the States license law"
No Retaliation Planned.
"Of course many Virginia doc
tors are sore said DR.. Hazel, but
we are not going to retaliate in
any way"
DR.. Charles V. Amole, president
of the Alexandria Medical Society.
said his group was not upset"
over the issue.
Maybe a solution to the prob
lem can be found by bringing
the matter to a head" he said.
Dr. Amole called for harmony
among the medical profession
and close cooperation between
the Alexandria and District
groups to get something done"
DR.. Hazel explained that the
whole problem had been broached
when an Arlington family had a
feud with its family doctor last
year and reported that he,
Washington man, had no Virginia
license. Dr.. Hazel said that the
law requiring a $50 license has
not been strictly enforced and
that reputable Washington doc
tors practiced in Virginia without
question.

WHO RIDES THE WAVE OF
THE FUTURE?

Every American would do well to con-
slider a statement made recently by John
Foster Dulles. in which he said: eff ever
the great United States can find no solu-
tiOns except in terms of more power in a
central government if we find it more and
more necessary to regiment the Individual
then the communists can say that they
are the ones who are really providing world
leadership, that we are following in their
wake, and that they are riding the wave of
the future" The danger we face is a disease
that has proved fatal to empires and great
societies in the past 1t is the creeping par
alysis that sets in with the inevitability of a
law of nature when a government, however
benevolent or well-intentiOned, sets out on
the course of solving the individuals prob
lens for him, of replacing individual Gre
ative effort and initiative by state planning
and state decree. This kind of experiment
has never succeeded. It has always led in
the end to moral and political and economic
weakening, decay and downfall 1t is a tragic
irony that many men of high position are ad-
vOcating these policies of statism which we
are fighting abroad, at enormous cost in
money and effort. We have accepted the re-
spOnsibility of organizing the western world
against communism. Let us show by ex-
ample here at home that we understand what
that responsibility entails, and have the
strength to practice what we preach.

Good Psychology

And there are many here in
Washington who believe, as does
this reporter, that the attitude of
the Truman administration toward
the fallacious idea that the ma
tion's economy must get back to
normal" or to pre-war, has had
a tremendous psychological effect
on the nations business, despite
the cries Of pessimism which have
gone up from business leaders.
The committee for economic de-
velopment, which this reporter be-
lieves promulgates the soundest
economic principles Of any other
business organization has already
testified before the congressional
joint committee, setting forth its
ideas for a stabilized budget 'to
set tax rates to balance the budget
and provide a surplus for debt re-
tirement at an agreed high level
OF employment and national in.

decline when national income de-
clines and rise when national in.

Milford chronicle., 1949-12-23

it comes to an election to legislative and national
Offices the rural interests should continue in con-
troll
What History Teaches
1 am convinced that if our large cities had
existed when the Constitution was originally drawn
up, there would have been some form of limited
voting, with an examination for voters The only
reason it not then done is because at that time
over 9O3o of the population were rural people of
character who could be depended upon to vote for
what was right "
Most big city voters are ignorant people, They
know nothing about Government and are largely
controlled by INSCRIPTIONS ward healers. If they
wish to follow any trade, to be electrician, house
painter, or even barber, they must pass a stiff
examination. Yet these can go out and
vote for City, State, and Government officers with
out any knowledge of any form of government If
a proper examination should be given to the voters
of any large city only in fifty would pass The
rural communities would have much better record.
Let The Small Cities Beware
Another thought: The Constitution now care
fully protects the rights of the States against the
Federal Government: but it purposely made no mem
tion of the rights of large cities This omission was
not accidental. The dangers of large cities were
evident to the makers of the Constitution They
feared large cities in those days the same as the
friends of Good Government fear them today They
purposely planned to protect the rural communities
such as New Boston. N. H., in the development of
which am especially interested
All this means that readers of my column. who

should be prepared to fight against any unreason-
able changes in Reapportionment Most of your
troubles today in connection with taxation liquor,
poor schooling, and the like are due to the predom-
nance of the big cities and especially to the So
called "referendams" Therefore, you should fight
all these changes and insist on continuing the appor-
tonment setups of today. l say that not only as a
statistician, but also as one in Good Government.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
BIG BUSINESS?

The answer is, nOthingi We have big
American institutions all over the country.
They employ more men than were employed
before. The products of practically all big
business organizations are first-class, and
they supply the needs of a large part of the
American Nation. These big organizations
encourage every branch of small business.
They do not pay small wages; they always
pay the highest wages. High wages and sci
entific production have been only features in
raising the cost of the necessities of life. The
real price boosters have been the Labor
Bosses who have originated and carried on
strikes; they slow down production of foods,
machinery and the American peoples neces-
stiles. Big business has been blessing to
America. 1t is too bad that so many politi-
clans including the President of the United
States and the Labor Bosses don't get be-
hind the Taft-Hartley labor law and cut out
this foolish war in big industries. Again we
recommend to all newspaper readers that
they study the existing labor legislation
They'll find it okay.
