Of National Bill
By Don S. Worren

Members Of the House District
Committee. meeting In closed-door
session today. were TO decide II
Washington rent controls were to
be continued to keep this city In
line with the Federal pattern.
Indications were that it would
be nip and tuck, but District
Chairman Mcmillan took the

reported.
Some opponents of continued
rent controls said last night they
would vote to get the District
measure 70 the House for action.
They said this would be the only
fair thing to do"
Close Vote Forecast.
With some members denouncinR
rent control extension in any form
however. there were warnings Of
at least q close vote. Some close
to the committee said the whole
issue might be determined BY
which members attended todays
meeting and which were missing.
Chairman Mcmillan also planned
to seek action on bills to continue
the Districts child day-care CEN
ters and to establish a So-called
voluntary fair trade practices act
for the Districts liquor business.
A majority of the Is members
OF the House District Committee

posed to continuation OF the Fed

AS the House passed the national
bill by q vote of 202 to 1863, II
members of the House District

Some Prepared to Change.
AS suspected. however. some OF
those who voted against the ma.
tional bill were prepared to change
their views or at least were In
doubt today as to continuation OF
District controls in the light OF
the impending enactment Of con-
tinued Federal controls.

In the darkness just before

Five Fire Companies Fight
CoImar Manor Bar Blaze

About a dozen customers of The
Wheel bar at 3717 Bladensburg
road, Colmar Manor, had to flee
the establishment yesterday when
it caught fire.
Every one in the building got
safely out and firemen confined
flames to the ceiling of the first
floor and to two upstairs rooms
that were unoccupied.
The fire was discovered shortly
before 6 pm. when the restaurant
started to fill with smoke. Fire
men said the blaze apparently had
started in the ceiling, possibly
from short circuit. The amount
of damage was not determined
but f1remen said smoke ruined
much of the establishments fur
nishings.
Two firemen were treated at
the scene for smoke inhalation.
Fire companies that responded
were Cottage City, Mount Rainier

Watchman in Hospital
After Severe Beatinq
In School Robbery

The Parker Grey High School at
Alexandria was broken into last
night while the night watchman
was still hospitalized from beat
ing he received the night before
when he found some one in the
building.
Police said some food had been
stolen. but they did not know how
much.
The night watchman, Rozier
Taylor, IA, colored, of the 200
block of North Payne street was
beaten severely Saturday night
when police said he apparently
interrupted an attempted theft
at the school.
Inspector Russell Hawes said
Mr.. Taylor found a man in the
building. When the watchman
asked the intruder what he was
doing there the man told him he
planned to meet a friend. Police
said the intruder offered to take
the watchman to the friends
house to verify his story.
Mr.. Taylor followed the man
about block from the school,
where he told police the man
turned on him, knocked him un-
conscious and took his wallet con-
tanning about $40.
Mr.. Taylor was reported in fair
condition today at Alexandria
Hospital.

about 1840. 1t was a perfect circle
with its center about at the pres
ent intersection of Fourteenth and
Kenyon streets. The race track
grounds extended from Tenth to
Sixteenth streets. The 1876 his
tory prepared by the citizens of
Mount Pleasant mentions a race
of the early 18O0s. It says:
ut was on this course that the
world-celebrated race was con-
tested between Sir Henry and
Eclipse. in which Eclipse was the
victor and made the fastest time
then known to the sporting world. :"
But here this excellent history
leaves an omission maddening to
a form player. It does not give
the time for that famous mile.
The early New England residents
Of Mount Pleasant had to have
a center of culture. They built
Union Hall on Newton street. On
Sundays visiting divines used to
preach in it.
The Mount Pleasant Dramatic
Club presented plays there. A
favorite was Lady Audley's Sc
cret." Her secret was that her
first husband. thought drowned
at sea came back, and Lady Aud
ley tried to solve the situation
by hitting him on the head with
an iron pipe and inserting him
in a well.
Quick Curtain Fails.
He wouldn't insert. The situa-
ton called for a quick curtain
but the curtain was stuck. The
stage hand gave it a furious tug
and ripped the whole thing off the
ceiling. It came down on Lady
Audley. Lord Audley. who had no
business on the stage. came on
and rescued her and her victim. 1t
was evident that Lady Audley's
secret was out-out of the we'll.
He was supposed to be dead but he
was obviously alive and he had to
say something. He ad-libbed so
successfully that everyone agreed
that Lady Audley's Secret" was a
success.
John De LaMater of the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association has
assembled a mass of material
about the old Union Hall. from
which the foregoing story was
CLEANED. He has the programs of

Purchasers Named.
It also gives the name and
background of each of the pur-
chasers of the lots in the orig
inal subdivision of the village.
The land was subdivided by Sam
ual P. Brown, a native of Maine,
who sold the Union supplies dur
ing the Civil War and apparently
made quite a fortune. He bought
the property after the first Battle
of Bull Run when real estate prices
were very low in the District.
When he divided it into lots
after the Civil War almost all
the purchasers were New England
men. Such Yankee names as
Houghton. Delano, Folsom and
Emery were among the original
purchasers. Those famous Ohio
ans, Gen. William Tecumseh Sher-
man and his brother, Senator
John Sherman. sponsor of the
Sherman Antitrust Act, also pur-
chased lots and built houses there
for investment. but continued liv-
ing in the heart of Washington.
The history says that in 1866
"a large number of gentlemen,
mainly clerks in Government en-
ploy," decided to purchase home
sites in Mount Pleasant. One of
these was Samuel H. Goodman,
an employe of the Treasury and
native of West Hartford. Conn.

Pennsy Tells Hearing 1t Spends
'$2.73 for Commuters Dollar

A witness for the Pennsylvania
Railroad today told an Interstate
Commerce Commission examiner
that the railroad spends $2.13 for
every 81 paid by commuters in the
Baltimore Washington area.
The witness was H. N. Talbot,
chief statistician of the railroad
who testified before examiner
Burton Fuller in a hearing on the
request of the railroad for an in
crease in commuters fares. IA
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
also has requested fare increases
and is expected to be heard later
today.
The changes requested by the
Pennsylvania Railroad applied to
service between Washington and
Baltimore and between Baltimore
and York, Pa.
The B. & o. request covers the
Washington Baltimore Brunswick
area. The proposed new fares
would be about Is per cent higher
than those now charged.
Mr.. Talbot testified that a de-
tailed study of commuter revenues
and operating expenses made in
May, 1949. showed revenues on
commuter trains amounted to
$45,53 while operating expenses
amounted to $97,011. The study
covered the Baltimore Washing
ton. the Baltimore-Parkton and
the Baltimore Wilmington lines.
Mr.. Talbot said the comparison
did not take the item of taxes
into consideration. He said taxes
amounted to more than 1000 for
the month. He said also that ex-
penses have risen since the sur
vey because of introduction of a
40-hour week for incorporating
employees and because of higher
costs of materials and supplies.
r. H. Clare, general passenger
agent for the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. testified that the present
fares actually are less than they
were in 1920. The present unlim-
lated monthly commuters ticket
costs $3.50, as against the charge
of $20.40 for a 60-trip ticket in
1920.
Mr.. Glare said only one increase
has beeng ranted the railroad in
the last 80 years. That was In
Evening star., 1950-11-20

September. 1947, when the fares
were increaseda bout Is per cent.
He said commuter revenues in
creased in the following II
months, despite the fact that
there was a general downward
trend in railroad traffic.
Mr.. Clare said that during the
first eight months of this year the
commuters made up 43.2 per cent
of the total passengers carried by
his railroad. He said they also
accounted for 13 per cent of the
total passenger miles but that they
only brought in 6.5 per cent of
the total passenger revenue.
Commuters travelling to and
from the short distance points
may obtain the impression that
because trains are heavily loaded
between the points where they
travel, the earnings should be sat
isfactory." Mr.. Clare asserted.
However, the opposite is the
case. The commuter train may
be heavily loaded leaving the ter
minal in the evening. but by the
time ii has passed the first few
stations a great many passengers
have disembarked, with the result
that the train is almost empty
long before it reaches it's destina-
ton. The reverse situation ap-
plies inbound in the morning.
"This is entirely different from
the situation existing on other
than commuter trains, where
passengers getting off at inter-
mediate stations are replaced by
other regular fare passengers
boarding the train at those stops,
thereby maintaining fairly con-
slant load factor for the entire
rum"
Mr.. Clare asserted that the sur
vey of IL typical commuter trains
showed an average occupancy of
only 37.2 per cent compared with
total seat miles.
In addition to requesting in
creases in the unrestricted COM
muter ticket, the railroads pro-
posed to establish a new form of
monthly ticket which would sell
for approximately 10 per cent less
than the proposed unrestricted
ticket. x
