This week Mr.. Roosevelt was
elected to Congress from the Goth
New York District. AS to his ELI
gibility to the presidency, there
Is some debate. He was born in

whether that circumstance would
cloud eligibility to take this Ma
tons highest Office.
Constitution Quoted.
Article II, Section of the Con-
stitution says only "a natural
born citizen" is eligible for the
presidency. Some authorities hold
the view the Constitution bans
only naturalized citizens from the
Office and a child born abroad,
but Of American parents, is nat
ural born"

Phone Company Asks
Increase in Virginia
To Net S2,30O,O0O
BY the Associotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va. April 5.-The
Chesapeake a. Potomac Telephone
Co. OF Virginia yesterday asked for
rate increases to net an additional
81, 800, 900 a year in earnings. after
taxes.
T. Justin Moore, company coun-
sci. presented the rate increase
petition to the State Corporation
Commission. Members of the
commission tentatively set June
Is for hearing on the request.
The company said the increase
would mean increases of from so
to 81 cents month in the fiat
rate to residential subscribers and
from rs cents to $3.50 a month in
the fat rate to business sub
scribers.
Increases also were asked in the
monthly message rates to sub
scribers using that type of tele-
phone service.
For example. the individual resi-
Dental fiat rate per month would
go up from $4.75 to $3.50 and the
individual business fiat rate from
Sill to $3.50.
w, H. Trapnell. vice president
andsgeneral manager of the COM
pany. said the company would
have to request rate increases
estimated to- produce about S.
900, 900 in additional annual gross
revenue to realize the $4,000. 900
net.
The petition said that rate re-
lief granted by the sec in 1947
and 1948 had produced earnings
substantially less than the nor
NAL return earned by the company
prior to World War II, and was
not sufficient to restore and main
tain the company's earnings to an
adequate level"
An extraordinary demand for
more sand improvedss telepf0ne
service has made Necessary Sn
unprecedented construction pro-
gram which has already had q
drastic impact on the compaay's
earnings" the petition said.
On April /. 1948. the sec au-
thorized an increase Of 81. 440, 900
in exchange service rates. In 1947
1t authorized, an increase of
50, 709, 900 gross on exchange serv-
ice and toll rates.
The company's petition said la
Dor costs alone had accounted for
nearly 81 500, 900 a year as a result
of the wage increase agreement
which became effective in Febru-
airy, 1949. This increase, the petit
ton noted, was necessary for the
purpose Of bringing the compapy's
wage rates into proper relationship
with those paid by other employers
in Virginia"
