Million More Asked
For Drainage Work

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission plans to
seek authorization during the
coming session of the Maryland
General Assembly to issue an ad-
ditional S1,000,000 in bonds to
finance drainage construction.
This was revealed yesterday
when the commission gave out a
progress report on its current So
100000 storm drainage program
in Prince Georges and Montgom-
cry Counties. -"
The commission said that its
present $2,000,00o program will be
about finished with completion of
two major projects in Prince
Georges County and two in
Montgomery County.
One of these is a $198 900 prof.
ect providing for construction of
5.l20 feet Of concrete pipe in
Hyattsville, beginning at Hamil-
ton street and Magruder Park and
extending to Fortieth avenue and
Longfellow street and eventually
ending around Thirty-ninth place
and Oliver street.
Another is $234,0oo project in
College Park. extending from the
State Road Commissions drain
near the Baltimore boulevard to
the northeast branch.
One of the Montgomery County
projects is in sections l and 2 of
Chevy Chase, while the other is
in section 3 of the same COM
munity.

Hearing on FEpC Bill
Opens Administration
Civil Rights Drive

The administration drive for
civil rights legislation got under
way in Congress today as the
House Rules Committee held
hearing on controversial bill to
forbid discrimination against Ne
groes and others in job seeking.
Chairman Lesinski of the House
Labor and Education Committee
and Representative Powell, Demo-
crat, of New oYrk, urged the Rules
Committee to send the measure
t othe House floor under a rule
limiting debate to two hours. Mr..
Powell was chairman of a House
Labor subcommittee that drafted
the bill.
Chairman SABBATH of the Rules
Committee set Monday as a date
for hearing opponents of the
measure.
Rankin to Be Heard.
Representative Rankin, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi, fiery opponent
of this and other civil rights
measures Immediately asked and
received permission to be heard
at that time.
Mr.. Rankin was not given an
opportunity to speak at today's
hearing. When he sought the
floor at one point, Mr.. Lesinski OBJ
jected since Mr.. Rankin is not a
member of the Rules Committee.
Garry on your steamroller,
Mr.. Rankin rejoined. I'll have
my say later"
Southern Democrats gave a.
forecast of the bitter fight they
will wage against the bill when
1t is called up in the House. Rep
resentative Cox, Democrat, of
Georgia, described it as "tyran-
nicar' bill and a threat to private
enterprise.
Would Bar Discrimination.
The bill would bar discrimina-
ton in job opportunities and
would set up a fair employment
practices commission to enforce its
provisions.
The committees hearing fol-
lowed President Truman's plea to
Democratic members of Congress
to fall in line with his fair deal"
program.
A similar measure pending in
the Senate will be called up after
the oleomargarine bill, basing
point legislation and a new hous-
ing bill are disposed of, Senate
Majority Leader Lucas has an
nounced. The FEPC measure
faces a bitter fight with a prob
able fllibuster when it reaches the
Senate floor. although the House,
operating under rules that limit
debate, is expected to pass it.

Strategy for Session
Speeiol Dispatch TO The Stor

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 13.-
Maryland's Republican lawmak-
ers will meet here tomorrow to
blueprint the battle plan they will
use when the legislature convenes
in February for the first one
month session in the States his
tory.
The party's II State Senators
and So Delegates also will outline
strategy for this years campaign
for a Governor, State and county
officers and members of Congress.
Set for 2 pm. at city nall, the
meeting will be sequel to a
closed caucus October % in An
napolis.
A legislative program tenta-
lively adopted at that time in
cluded annual return of treasury
surpluses to taxpayers, a sub
stantial cut" in the State budget,
reduction of the tax on unearned
income, non-partisan selection of
school board members, and ex-
tension of home rule.
Cut in Income Tax Urged.
State Senator James B. Monroe.
of Charles County, chairman of
the party's joint caucus, who
called the October meeting, said
yesterday that he would insist on
lowering the levy on unearned
income from S to 2 per cent
for persons in the lower income
bracket.
A report on the proposal is to
be submitted tomorrow by a COM
mittee headed by State Senator
Roy Tasco Davis, of Montgomery
County.
Senator Monroe. who also heads
the State COP Steering Commit
tee. said treasury surpluses should
be used first to eliminate the State
real estate tax and then to adjust
the differential between earned
and unearned income.
Our aim" he declared, "is to
wipe out the States income tax
altogether, leaving that field of
taxation to the Federal Govern
ment."
Choice of Boards Hit.
Costs OF operating the State
governmental machinery, he as
serted. have pyramided to a point
where something must be done to
relieve overburdened taxpayers.
Suggestions as to how this can be
done are to be offered tomorrow
Party leaders at the October
meeting most emphatically dis
approved" part of the method now
used by the Governor in naming
members of county boards of edu-
cation. They said they would
work for legislation which would
make non-political selection of
school board members mandatory
The Governor now appoints those
named to school boards on recon-

To Revise Financing at
Virginia Rate Hearing
By the Associuted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. l3.-The
State Corporation Commission S
chief accountant yesterday i'm
piled strongly that the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. should
increase earnings by revising its
capital structure instead of by in
creasing its rates.
The accountant. Charles C.
Drummond, said that under the
present capital structure the c. &
P. is paying more than its share"
to It's parent company. the Amer
lean Telephone 81 Telegraph Co.
Specifically. he recommended
the Virginia company get more
of it's money by issuing bonds at
3 per cent interest and less by
selling common stock bearing an
8 per cent interest rate to the
A. T. g. T.
General Rise Sought.
Mr.. Drummond testified for the
commission accounting division
in a continuation of the hearing
on the Chesapeake & Potomac's
request for a $3,9O0.00O general
rate increaseA
The company should increase
the amount of it's capital in 3
per cent bonds from the present
18 per cent to so per cent, Mr..
Drummond said. If this were done.
he continued. the company would
require as a conservative" maxi
mum rate of return of only 5h
per cent on total capital invested,
instead of the 6E2 per cent re-
quested via the rate increase.
The c. & P. Mr.. Drummond tes-
titled, has shown a smaller huc-
tuation of earnings over the past
% years than the AT&T, the Vir-
ginia Electric Power Co., or the
Appalachian Electric & Power Co.
Might Ask Further Boost.
On the other hand, he said, all
three of these companies have
shown a higher average return
on capital invested. All three, he
declared, have a much higher long
term debt ratio than has the
Virginia telephone company.
On cross examination a COM
pany witness stated the utility
firm might have to ask for a rate
increase on coin boxes within 18
months. even if the commission
