Transit Firm
Attacks PUC's
Fare Proposal
McEIfresh's Estimute
OF Return Declared
Much Too Optimistic

The Capital Transit Co. today
attacked the figures used by v.
A. McElfresh, executive account
ant for the Public Utilities Com
mission, in arriving at his recon-
mendation of new fares for the
company with the weekly pass
retained.
Hearing of the company's ap-
plication for higher fares was
resumed today by the commission
In the District Building.
Mr.. McElfresh last week esti-
mated that his proposed fare
structure-15 cents cash, four
tokens for so cents and a $2.25
pass-would give the company a
net income of $1.849, ,692.
Net of Only 81 Million Seen.
1t is understood the, company
will contend that this is a sub
stantial overestimate. The COM
pany is expected to maintain that
under such fares the company's
net would be nearer 81 million.
The company is asking for IS
cents cash fare, six tokens for 80
cents and elimination Of the pass.
1t has estimated this will bring a
net annual return of $1,959, ,879.
The fares now are 13 cents, three
tokens for 35 cents and $1.75 for
the pass.
r. Gloyd Await. company attor-
ney. cross-examined Mr.. NIGEL
fresh on the figures he used in
forming his fare schedule. Mr..
McElfresh stuck by his estimates
and computations. j. E. Heberle,
company controller, is expected to
take the stand later in rebuttal.
Sharp Differences in Figures.
One of Mr.. McElfresh's exhibits
was a projection of the earnings
and expenses of the last six
months of 1949 to arrive at figures
on an annual basis. Mr.. Heberle
earlier introduced a similar ex-
hibit. The two experts arrived at
quite QluerenC ngureS.
Mr.. Await brought out that Mr..
McElfresh's figure of $25.824, ,165
for total operating revenues was
$14.097 higher than Mr.. Heberle's
figure.
Similarly. Mr.. McElfreSh put
operating expenses. taxes and de-
probation at $25. 5.124,549, or $231,-
$40 less than the amount ad-
vanced by the company.
The net operating income was
given by Mr. McElfresh as $685.
GIG as against Mr.. Heberle's figure
of $353,649. The figures in these
computations are based on present
fares.
Property Allegations Questioned.
Mr.. Await questioned Mr.. McEl-
fresh's ALLEGATIONS of property be-
tween District and Maryland op-
erations and deductions which Mr..
McElfresh had made in various
accounts. Mr.. McElfresh main
tanned the logic and accuracy Of
his computations.
% The two experts were at vari-
ance on the rate base. which is the
value of property used by the
company in rendering service and
on which it's rate of return is fig
ured.
Mr.. McElfresh put the rate base
at $27, 1863 ,459; Mr.. Eberle put it at
$27,713,039. Mr.. Heberle said his
figure was arrived at by using the
commissions formula. He said,
however. that according to the
formula the company holds is cor
rect. the rate base should be $43,-
764,571.

Ti||ey Never Told Her
.0fHis American Wife
Italian Woman Says

A young Italian woman insisted
today at the court-martial of Col
Ralph c. Tilley that he never told
her about having an American
wife until the two women met in
Arlington in 1948.
Col. Tilley is charged with
bigamously marrying the Italian
woman, Jonilde Bruno, in Italy in
1947 and bringing her to this
country.
Defense Attorney George j.
Banigan confronted the 24-year-
old woman with a deposition in
which a State Department en-
ploye in Italy said Col. Tilley in
troduced Miss Bruno as Mrs.
Brown" #
eI've always been Mrs. Tilley
since my marriage" the witness
replied through an interpreter.
Called by Defense.
When asked why she had not
married Col. Tilley in church, she
told the court she believed him to
be a divorced man. This would
prohibit a church marriage in
Italy. she explained.
The defense called Miss Bruno
as witness today after the court
refused to allow her recall for
cross-examination.
Miss Bruno appeared with her
16-month-old son, Boris, who she
claims is the child of Col. Tilley.
The defense objected to the
child's presence in the courtroom,
declaring it was intended to work
on the sympathy of the six-nlan
trial board. The court ordered
the child removed.
Miss Bruno testified as prose-
cution witness that she was mar
ried to Col. Tilley on october 20
1S47.
Lives in Falls Church.
Col. Tilley. 81, who is attached
to the adjutant generals office al
the Pentagon, lives in Falls
Church with his wife, Mrs. Eliza
beth Louise Tilley.
The defense introduced testi-
mony yesterday to show that the
Italian woman was aware Col
Tilley had wife in America when
she knew him in Italy.
Miss Rena Berto, of Manches-
ter, Conn, who served with the
American Graves Registration
Service in Italy, also testified Col
Tilley introduced the young Italian
woman to her as a Mrs. Brown in
November, 1947.
Miss Berto said the woman she
met as Mrs. Brown heard Col
Tilley speak of his wife, Betty.

from home is as discourteous tc
your host as carving your initials
in his living room furniture.
"Not too many years ago an out
of state vacationist who drove dis
courteously had little to worry
about but a slight twinge of his
conscience and the possibility of
having an accident. Enforcement
officials, although they frowned
on such practices and mentally
classified sister states by the types
of drivers that each seemed to pro-
duce, were loath to spoil the
drivers vacation by cracking down
on him. But that situation has
changed.
Practically all enforcement Of
ficials today-according to a re-
cent poll by the National Safety
Council-feel that a license plate
of different color than their own
is no cloak of immunity for the
unsafe driver" states Chief of Po-
lice H. S. Weaver.
However, no matter whether
you drive inside or outside Ohio
on your vacation trip" Chief
Weaver added, "be sure to come
home, leaving the impression with
other cities and states that East
Cleveland's drivers are the best in
the country"

Just who is he (or she) to decide
who walks enough or not?
l can tell him why the rush-it
is to get to work or some appoint
ment on time.
That is something which has
never been appreciated by the
CTS. either. Their attitude has
always been that people ride the
buses or street cars merely out
of the total depravity Of human
nature which it is their bounden
duty to Illustrate if possible.
Perhaps it is against Union
rules to be courteous, pleasant,
and obliging. I wouldn't know
about that but I do believe that
such measures would swell the
Golfers of the CTS. better than
constant fare-raising and sched-
ule reducing.
Since one generally has to stand
on the buses she is not eager to
walk "a block or two further" to
get the bus.
