 Tolbert was driving a truck and towing a heavy power shovel on a trailer. As Tolbert attempted to take his ungainly load around the corner near the Shore Patrol headquarters the truck made it but the boom on the shovel didn't.
 It caught in the wires and snapped the pole off near the ground. Electrical service was soon restored by the KEA crew.

Maryland SaysC. &P. Rates
Should Be Cut, Not Raised
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 21.-The
State wants the Public Service
Commission to turn down a tele-
phone company request for
rate increase and instead, cut bills
by some ST million a year.
The Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co. is requesting that
a $4.87 million temporary rate
boost granted last year. be made
permanent and that an additional
hike of $2.5 million be approved.
1t told the PSC in hearings yes
terday that the increase is needed
to make fair profit.
For the State, Special Attorney
Richard w. Case argued the c. g.
P. used faulty figures in determin-
ing the value of it's facilities. He
contended the company should be
allowed a return of up to 5.45
per cent on a fair value invest
ment of $103, ,204,488. The com.
pany puts the figure at $139 mil
lion 722 thousand.
A decision is expected by March

Minor Changes Slated
In Equestrian Groups
For Memorial Bridqe

The Fine Arts Commission will
issue a formal report next week
approving. with minor changes,
the designs of the bronze eques-
trian groups, now being cast in
Italy for erection at Lincoln Me-
mortal Bridge.
Accompanied by park officials
and the sculptor, members of the
commission visited the scene yes
terday to inspect the 19-foot ply
wood models erected at the Lin
coin Memorial entrance to the
bridge.
Chief purpose of the inspection
was to determine if the huge
statues would obscure or shut out
vision of the Lincoln Memorial
for pedestrians or motorists cross
ing the bridge from the Virginia
side. They will not, and Sculptor
Leo Friedlander of New York and
White Plains, N. Y, heaved a
sigh of relief. He had been wait
ing some 20 years for the erection
OF two equestrian groups he origi-
nally designed.
Other Groups Nearby.
Two other groups, by James E..
Fraser, Connecticut sculptor, will
be erected at the entrance to the
Potomac-Rock Creek drive, close
to both the bridge and Lincoln
Memorial.
Equally relieved by the favor
able impression gained by the
Fine Arts Commission members
was Harry T. Thompson, assistant
superintendent of National Capt.
tai Parks, who supervised plans
by which Italy now is casting the
bronze groups as token of graft
tude for American postwar aid.
He recently returned from Italy
with the two sculptors after max
ing all arrangements with the
Italian government and foun-
dries.
The changes suggested for the
granite pedestals are simple. First,
an appropriate Identification of
the groups, "Valor and Sacrifice"
will be proposed Then suitable
inscriptions will be selected. The
Fraser group typif1es the Arts and
Peace. These also will be suitably
identified.
Simplicity for Stones.
AS originally designed, the
pedestals have six "die" stones
around the sides on which
wreaths are carved. The cap
stone also is decorated with
wreaths. All these are to be
eliminated. Complete simplicity
is the desire.
The Fine Arts Commission
many years ago, approved the de-
signs and Congress appropriated
money. The money wasn't suffi-
cient to do the work now, so the
Italian government took over the
job at cost to Italy of about
$500. 900.
Because the personnel of the
commission has changed from
those earlier years, it was de-
cided the former decision should
be reviewed. Consequently the
National Capital Parks Office was
asked to prepare scale models to
place upon the pedestals in order
to give the commission q realistic
conception of the proportions of
the statuary.

Mrs. KeIeher Recalls
Husbands S Devotion
Before Separation

Mrs. Anna T. Dolly Keleher
today told about the palmy days
of the World War II period when
her marriage to John B. Keleher,
then bigtime gambler. was a
happy one.
She testified in District Court
that they always had a drawing
room in Pullman cars on their
trips to New York and sent "Ches-
ter" her chauffeur. ahead with
the car The Biltmore Hotel was
her second home, she said, and
they were listed as permanent
residents and always had the same
suite.
She said Keleher gave her S3,50o
to $4,000 a month to live on and
that every one in Saks Fifth Ave-
nue., one of New York's most ex-
pensive stores, knew her.
She was testifying against her
husbands cross-suit for divorce on
grounds of desertion. Her suit
for a limited divorce alleging
cruelty has been heard, but Judge
Charles F. Mclaughlin reserved
decision until her husbands case
is heard. A divorce suit brought
by Mrs. Keleher a year ago on
grounds Of adultery was dismissed
Tells of Furrier's Visit.
Mrs. Keleher testified that one
Sunday in October, 1945, Keleher
had a furrier come to their room
in the Biltmore. with 5000 worth
OF furs, including a, mink coat,
priced at $4,000.
She said Keleher looked on the
garment approvingly, but that she
told the furrier she wasn't going
to take 1t because it wasn't
worth it.
> Her testimony about the fur
coat was in answer to a question
from her lawyer. James j. Laugh
lin. as to why her husband had
given her $4,000 in cash to spend
in New York before his trip to
Florida in 1916 that preceded
their separation.
Keleher's desertion case is
based on his allegation that she
met him at the station on his
return from Florida in February,
1916, told him she had changed
the locks to their Woodley Park
Towers apartment and that there
was no point in his coming home.
Says Key Was in Pocket.
She testified this morning that
she met him at the station with
his winter overcoat and told him:
Jack, I've been having the
same old trouble with the locks.
(She had testified that they had
not worked for years. had to
have the cylinder changed and
the new key .is in your overcoat
pocket"
Mrs. Keleher charges cruelty

1946 in that her husband made
taunting telephone calls to her

Last of q SerieS.)
By WiIIiom A. MiIIen

The human equation seems to
work about the same among dis
placed persons as among any one
else. There are good ones and
bad ones, from the standpoint of
farmers who have hired them
and this is the story of the good
ones.
DR.. T. B. Symons, dean of the
School of Agriculture at the Uni
versity of Maryland and a severe
critic of the DIP program, con-
cedes:
Farmers who get good DIP farm
workers say they are the best
workers they have ever had"
Eighty per cent of the bonafide
immigrant farmers, those who
titled the soil in the "old country
and did not come here under false
colors, have worked out well in
Prince Georges County, said Har-
old c. Townshend, chairman of
the county's DIP Committee.
An example is the Polish family
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Slurarski
and their 11-year-old son, Rich
ard. Before the war, Mr.. Slurar-
ski, now So, was overseer of a
25,000-acre estate in Poland
Seized by the Russians in 1899
he was sent to Siberia, and later
was taken by the Germans and
forced to farm in Germany.
Learns About Tobacco.
For nine months the Slurarskis
lived on the farm of Raphael
Parker of Piscataway, Md. Mr.
Slurarski never knew about grow
ing tobacco, but now he is skilled
in this field. Mr.. Parker is well
pleased with his DPS.
Then there are Mr.. and Mrs
Alfonsas Puslys and their 2-year-
old son, a Lithuanian family on
the Hereford and tobacco farm
of Capt. Alan R. Nash, near Upper
Marlboro. Mr.. Puslys, now 81, was
seized by the Germans in 1914
and worked as a baker. During
his seven months on the Nash
farm his work has been satisfac-
tory.
w. Page Zimmerman of Severna
Park, Md, is so pleased with his
Ukranian family that he hopes to
keep them permanently.
Mr.. Zimmerman spent $1,000
renovating a home for the DPS
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Novosod
and their two girls, aged 6 and 4
He had the home furnished with
running water, electricity, ice box
and a toilet.
He pays Mr.. Novosod $40
week, the prevailing wage in Anne
Arundel County, for working on
the 74-acre farm.
Not Always at Fault.
In Fairfax County, Virginia,
where about 80 DIP families now
dwell, Farm Agent Joseph Beard
has found reason to sympathize
with some immigrants who have
run out on their farm employers.
THE fault does not always lie
with the DIP" he said. I'm some
cases their living standards are
dow. The DIP does not always have
electric lights, a radio or bath
room.
People displaced from their
old homes for from four to six
years do not think they should be

7 Held in Kansas CITY
By FBI in Check Fraud;
DC. Firm Blanks Used

The FBI today announced the
arrest in Kansas City of two men
charged with passing a large num-
ber of bad checks.
Some of the checks were said
to be written on blanks stolen
from the Offices of Air Condition
ing, Inc, sales firm at 904
Tenth street NV.
The prisoners, the FBI said,
operated by stealing blank checks
and perforating machines from
reputable businesses, then pass
ing the worthless checks in sew
eral cities.
Charged with interstate trans
portation of stolen property in
Kansas City are Robert Mack
Berry, 36, of Pittsburgh, and Jo-
seph E. Brits, 81, Of Hagerstown,
Md, who lived here last year in
the 300 block of Eleventh street
NE.
FBI officials also filed complaints
with the United States Commits
sioner here yesterday against the
two men. Brits was charged with
passing $57 check and Berry
with cashing a S46.23 check, both
bad ones, in Washington during
the last few weeks.
About 500 blank checks and the
perforating check protector were
stolen from Air Conditioning, Inc,
in a housebreaking February 9, the
FBI reported. On January 30.
blanks and protector were stolen
from offices of the Applied Insula-
ton Co. in Norfolk.
Arrested at a Kansas City bus
station by FBI agents yesterday,
Brits and Berry were carrying
blank checks and the perforating
machine of the Washington firm,
the FB1 said. One of them also
was carrying a .25-caHber pistol
and both have criminal records.
The FBI said about "a dozen"
OF the bad checks have been traced
definitely. r. c. Simms, president
of the air-conditioning firm, said
he knows of nine written against
his company.

Some DIP Workers Good, Others
Bad, Nearby Farmers Discover

expected Immediately to go into
the fields and do hard physical
labor. Usually the farmer gets
these people because he needs
help desperately.
Many DPS have good educa-
tions. I have found every one of
them to be perfectly honest and
reliable and upstandinng citizens. :"
Most of those staying on farms
are working out we'll, as is true
with those who have gone into
industry and business, Mr.. Beard
said.
Some Miscast in Roles.
Trouble is, many of the So
called farm-Workers, in reality,
are miscast white collar workers
who are disillusioned when they
find themselves in a dairy barn

Anne Arundel (Md0 County
Agent Stanley E. Day, generally
critical of the DIP program, was
careful to point out that some
of these farm workers are ex-

Among these must be classified
Mr.. and Mrs. Andre w. Nasa-

examination by MI. Laughlin.
Mr.. Laughlin started the after
noon session by asking Keleher if
he had some one call the Laughlin
law office during the luncheon re-
cess-some one who threatened to
bump" the lawyer off if he did
not deal more gently with Keleher.
Keleher's reply was in a tone of
amused incredulity. "Mr. Laugh
lin, you ought to be ashamed of
yourself" -..,
In answer to further question,
Keleher made his denial q direct
one.
