0pen on T.. &P. Plea
For Increased Rates
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 1.-THE Pub.

ings today on petition from the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. to increase its rates.
The utility wants a temporary
increase by February Is and a per-
manent increase later which woulc
amount to an additional s6,00000(
in annual revenue. Nearly all Mary.
land telephone subscribers woulc
be affected by the raise.
The company claims it needs
higher rates because of mounting
operating costs and a dangerously
low level of returns. 1t will have
to answer petitions protesting ths
increase filed yesterday by Balti.
more City and Philip H. Dorsey
peoples counsel.
The city argued that the company
has not shown sufficient cause why
the increase is necessary and chal.
lenged a C. & P. assertion it il
earning less than 31a per cent or
its investment.
Mr.. Dorsey contended that present
rates, established by a $5,300,O00 in.

whether they will yield a fair re-

tlons to handle problems OF this
type"
Commenting that a "psychopathic
personality" like Wagstaff's should
not be left at large, the magistrate
passed sentence.
The maid. Mrs. Frances Tolson,
colored, 1922 Fifteenth street NV,
said Wagstaf lunged at her with a
knife during a family argument.
She said she lodged and the knife
was bent as 1t struck the kitchen
sink with great force.
Wagstaf was parolled from the
Nevada prison in 1916. In October,
1947, he paid a S25 fine on convic-
ton of assault in the wounding a
policeman who tried to arrest him
for breaking into a Chevy Chase
home Wagstaff had mistaken for his
own. He also served 80 days for
destroying private property but a
HOUSEKEEPING charge was with
drawn on condition that he obtained
psychopathic treatment.
Last year he was charged with
robbery in the holdup of a Wash
ington taxicab driver but the case
was dropped when the plaintiff de-
clined to prosecute.
