Truman Letter Halls
Baptists' Plans for
.Evanqe!istieCampaiq

A letter from President Truman
expressing hope that the Baptist

tic campaign opening Saturday

bring many to realization of the
strength that lies in the everlast-
ing reality of religion" was made

Many times during the last
decade the conviction has come
to me with increasing force that
q revival of the spirit of old-fash-
Toned religion is what the world
most needs. %.
"Only when the hearts and
minds Of men are inspired and
guided by the unchanging princi-
pies Of the Sermon on the Mount
can we hope that the nations OF
the world will find the pathway to
a true and enduring peace. With
out that help the best efforts OF
men and nations will fail.
"One could hope earnestly that
the proposed evangelistic crusade
to be launched in the District OF
Columbia on September IS will set
an example which will bring many
to realization of the strength
that lies in the everlasting real
ity of religion"
MONDAY services during the
drive will be held in New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church at
1910 pm, September 26 to 81
and October 2 to Z. DR.. c. E

Maryland Considers
Plans for Extension
Of Western Avenue
By Alex R. Preston

Less than 5 per cent of rights
of-way is needed to complete ex-
tension of Western avenue, from
Rock Creek park to Silver Spring,
at the northern tip of the District,
Maryland officials said today.
The project has taken on re-
neWed interest as a result of radio
comments by Gov. Lane of Mary
land at reunion of Company K
association in Silver Spring last
Saturday.
That developments in the not
too distant future may be expected
was indicated in an interview with
Gov. Lane. broadcast by Radio
Station WGAY. The State execu-
tive said something was in the
wind" in the area and. in reply
to a more persistent question,
would comment only that Be-
thesda and Silver Spring should
be more closely linked together.
The 1.5-mile Western avenue
extension was the project that
first came to the minds of a num-
Der OF his listeners.
Serge Doubrof1. an engineer at
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
said that his commission now
owns practically all Of the right
of-way necessary for the project.
Western avenue now terminates
at the west side Of Rock Greek
park as a District project. Mary
land planners have set aside a
strip running from this terminus
to East-West highway.
The proposed route, all on the
Maryland side of the District line.
includes a strip about 140 feet
wide and about 1,400 feet long,
dedicated to the commission by
Samuel Fig. real estate and liquor
dealer. Most of the rest Of the
required land lies within park
property already owned by the
commission.
The commission has discussed
with District highway officials,
however. an alternate plan for
connecting Western avenue with
East-West highway. This propo-
sal would entail a dip" back into
the District at the northern end
Of the route so as to connect with
Sixteenth street at the traffic
circle at Falkland Apartments.
The project has been delayed
because priority has been given
the widening Wisconsin avenue
from the Bank Of Bethesda north
ward to the Naval Medical Gen.
ter Also, the State has COM
mitted itself to widen Georgia
avenue. from Silver Spring to
Glenmont.

Gas Consumer
Held Charged
For Promotion
Rote Rise Hearing Told
Company Passes On
Appliance Expenses

Counsel intervening in the hear
ing on proposed increase in gas
rates here contended today the
Washington Gas Light Co. is
charging part of it's promotion
expense for gas appliances to
consumers.
William A. Roberts. represent
ing the Gas Consumers and Inde-
pendent Appliance Dealers, assert
ed the company is engaging in
expensive" promotion which is
unfair" to the distributors of
appliances whose cost is borne
partly by the gas consumer.
Mr.. Roberts introduced three
newspaper advertisements by the
company of gas appliances, and
sought to find out the cost paid
by the company to the manufac-
turer for appliances.
James H. Flanagan, PUG chair
man. sustained objections to the
question as not being pertinent to
the issue Of increased gas rates.
I Per Cent Rise Sought.
The company is seeking a Z per
cent increase in rates to District
subscribers, to obtain 100000 in
additional annual operating rev.
enues.
Otis H. Ritenour, company con-
troller, said the companys adver-
tising is aimed at selling gas, not
stock.
Our business is selling gas, Mr..
Roberts" he asserted.
The company presented figures
indicating it spent total of $685.
525 for sales promotion during
1948.
OF $139,917 charged to advertis-
ing. the figures indicated, S2,821
was apportioned to merchandising
and jobbing.
Mr.. Roberts then began uues-
tioning Mr.. Ritenour on the num-
ber of appliances on which the
company maintained perpetual or
life contracts.
Testified All Yesterday.
Mr.. Ritenour said there were
very few. and that so far as rec
ords at hand indicated, there was
only one space heater still carry
ing a perpetual care contract.
Mr.. Ritenour was on the wit
ness stand all day yesterday. an
swerlng questions by Mr.. Roberts,
MIR. Roberts sought to bring out
that the appliance business and
sales promotion services are costly
to the company. He said this cost
is added to the operating expenses
OF the company and is one Of the
reasons q rate increase Is being
asked.
Mr.. Roberts asked Mr.. Riten-
our it the gas company ever paid
money to contractors to induce
them to install gas appliances il
i
the structures they were building
Mr.. Ritenour said some arrange
ments had been made in previous
years but that in 1948 nothing
had been paid to his knowledge.
Questioned on Training.
| Many questions were asked by
Mr.. Roberts as to the number of
men undergoing extensive train
ing at the expense Of the COM
pany for a general sales cam
paign. He also wanted to know
what part Of their time the gen.
eral officers Of the company give
to sale Of appliances. Mr.. Riten-
our said between Is and 80 men
are being trained and that about
q dozen experienced statesmen are
employed.
