PUG Auditor Insists
81 Phone Rate Rise
lis Enough for {. & P.

The Public Utilities Commission
hearing on a proposal to increase
telephone rates here continued at
a slow pace today as v. A. Nc
Elfresh, commission executive &C.
countant and auditor, stuck to
his contention under cross-exam-
nation that a per cent increase
was justified in returns to the
company.
MIR. McElfresh was questioned
in great detail on how he arrived
at his conclusion by John j.
Kirby. an attorney for the Bureau
OF Federal Supply.
The Government is intervening
in the telephone rate case as the
largest single customer Of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Co. It has an annual
bill of more than $3,500,000. Mr..
McElfresh has advocated the 6
per cent rate increase to bring
in an additional $2,227,034 a year
in gross revenues for the company.
The Federal Government recon-
mended some 100000 less than
that which would increase the
return to the company about 5.25
per cent.
The telephone company says it
needs $3.200,000 more in addi-
tional annual revenues which
would increase its return to about
Z per cent.
Mr.. McElfresh estimated that
in order to bring the company the
6 per cent return, rates to tele-
phone customers would be in
creased about 8.75 per cent.
The hearing today was marked
by frequent objections to the
lengthy examination of Mr.. Nc
Elfresh by Mr.. Kirby.
At one point James n. Flan-
agan, PUG chairman, told Mr..
Kirby, "Once you've had one ap-
proach and then two approaches
to q question I wish you wuoldn't
try a third"

Representation Plea
In Next Message

The District Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs today requested Presi-
dent Truman to include plea for
national representation for the
District in his State of the Union
message at the opening Of the
next session of Congress.
The request to the President
was in one Of the resolutions
adopted at the December meeting
OF the federation at the Hotel
Hamilton. Another resolution di-
rected Mrs. Edward c. Magde-
burger, president Of the District
federation, to write the federation
presidents of the 48 States asking
them to support national repre-
sentation through an amendment
to the Constitution allowing Dis
trict citizens to vote for President.

also be sent to the chairmen OF
the Senate and House Judiciary
Committees, to Majority Leader
Lucas of the Senate. and to the
Board of District Commissioners.
Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, the fed
eration's national chairman on
legislation, was challenged when
she said, after praising the work
of the Citizens Joint Committee
on National Representation.
headed by Jesse c. Suter OF The
Star, that after all it was COM
posed mostly of men and it was
up to the women to get some
action.
Mrs. Wiley Protests.
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley rose to
protest that she had been vice
chairman of Mr.. Suffers commit
tee for many years.
In continuing, Mrs. Wright said
that the local newspapers had
fallen down on the issue by put
ting local suffrage ahead Of ma
tional representation. This was
disputed by Mrs. Ernest Howard,
chairman of the federation's Pub
licity Committee.
In the end Mrs. Wright moved
that q letter be sent to Mr.. Suter
thanking him for his column Of

Repoer Listens Younq opeu Finds What Makes Santa Face Red
By Corter Dawson

Just what are the secrets that
children tell Santa Claus when
they climb up on his knee or
write him a letter?
Lend an ear to a reporter who
has been lending an ear to four
department-store Santas who
have heard from thousands Of
children since the first week of
November.
Girls are putting in orders for
cowboy suits. guns and television
sets instead of dolls. But it's the
individual orders that merit at
tention.
For example, the request of s.
year-old Maureen Lowe Of Alex
andria for baby sitter.
Alice Fales, Z. of 2734 Thirty
fourth place NV, let st. Nick
know she was a girl who knew
what she wanted.
"And what do you want for
Christmas, little grip" Santa asked
her.
Doesn't Mind Feeding Him.
II want you," Alice said.
But you'll have to feed me and
I eat a lot." the old North Poler
tried to explain, but Alice would
hear none of it.
II know it, but I don't care" !"
she insisted.
Some of the children brought
lists with them but they never
referred to them. But one child
read Santa a list that covered
both sides of three sheets Of
paper.
"Is there anything else?" Santa
asked.
"oh yes, lots more" came the
reply.
Charles Carroll, 10, Of o18 H
street NV, and Lois Ceraso, 5, Of
Annadale, Va. can be listed among
Santa's faithful followers. They
visit him everyday, but for dif-
ferent reasons.
Charles checks in to let Santa
see how clean his hands and face
are.
Value of Repetition.
Santa. you see, got after Charles
for having dirty face and hands
the first day he visited him back
in November. Now. almost each
day since, Charles has been COM
ing back to prove that he is keep
ing his hands clean.
As for Lois, who's practically
got a reserved seat on Santa
Claus knee, she's been whispering
her wants into his ear each day
for a week.
IT keep forgetting things" she
said. Besides, if tell him the
things I want each day maybe
I'll get them"
Timothy Kelley. of Parkfairfax,
the 10-year-old son Of John M.
Kelley, chief prosecutor in the
Judith Coplon trial. can be put
down as a trickster.
did you get that letter I sent
you?" he asked the man with the
white beard.
"You bet did, sonny" he said.
You're a big bluff. Santa
Timothy told him. II didn't send
you one"
A 6-year-old girl gave one
Santa a surprise. She turned out
to be his daughter.
In a serious voice and acting
"a lot shyer than she does at
home" the little girl said she
wanted a Teddy bear. That's one
case where Santa was definite
in promising the gift.
Crippled children somehow
managed to brave the Santa
Claus lines. In wheel chairs, with
out sight and hands and on
crutches they brought their secrets
to Santa. A boy on crutches, with
braces on both legs, wanted a
wagon.

One of Santa's helpers in tie
letter reading section was startled
to read a dispatch to Santa from
her little girl asking for "a front
tooth for my Mommy." "Mommy'
had knocked her tooth out in an
accident a few days before.
One Mount Rainier girl, whose
envelop was addressed to "Mr.
Clause, North Pole" just en-
closed pictures of numerous toys.
A 12-year-old boy from North
east wrote Santa:
II believe you are very kind
person and I love you very much.
If YOU have q secondhand bike

asked: How many children do
you have?" when do you go
back to the North Pole?" Where
are your reindeer?" who bakes
your cakes?" How old are you?"
Where do you stay at night?"
In the letter department, the
North Pole resident. now hang
ing out in one department store,
has received more than 1000
missives from scribblers of is
months to writer's II years old.
One 17-year-old girl sent her
picture and said she wanted
Frank Sinatra for Christmas. A
teen-age boy wrote for q case

doesn't get a Santa Claus reply

Some included candy and pen
nies in their letters and closed
with Love and Kisses. Santa,

Another boy who asked for

helpers say: Each kid is strictly
