75-Month- Old Boy Survives
Removal of Poncreotic Tumor
Case Is First Found
In ChiIdren's Records
Rare in Adults

Children's Hospital doctors have
successfully removed a huge tu-
NOR from the pancreas of a Is
month-old boy-the first time such
an ailment in an infant has been
found in pediatric records, the
hospital reported today.
The child, Carlton Wakefield

in the pancreas. Inside it was a
cyst, which grew to tremendous
proportions almost before the doc
tors eyes.
A hemmorhage into the cyst,
the doctors explained, caused the
tumor to double in size in 48
hours, growing as large as a mans
fist. The pancreas, located near
he stomach, is a gland about six
inches long in infants,
The doctors said pancreatic
tumors are not often found even
in adults and that they had been
able to find no previous report Of
such a growth in an infant in
medical literature.

A 38-year-old man was fatally

But to this reporter the most
impressive indication that there

That's why the avenue is so wide

! Silver Spring didn't begin to
grow until 1919. There were two
reasons for that. The Washing

back from the war and began to
build houses. He tells me he got
the idea from Frank L. Hewitt.

Brooke Lee, who was captain of
Company K of the 1st Regiment
of the Maryland National Guard,
the Silver Spring company, was OF
the family that gave the town its
name. He is a great grandson of
Francis Preston Blair, the Ken
lucky newspaperman brought here
by President Andrew Jackson who
was a member of the famous
kitchen cabinet and who built
Blair House, now occupied by
President Truman. He also built
Blair-Lee House next door, prob
ably out of the profits of his
Government printing contracts.
The story is that Blair was rid
ing in the woods near the old
Quaker road to Sandy Spring
Georgia avenue extendeO when
his horse. Selin, threw him and
ran away. He followed the horse
and found it standing near a
beautiful spring. He built his
country home there in 1874 and
called 1t Silver Spring. A great
stone acorn supported by pillars
of stone that look like tree trunks
still stands at the spring site, but
the spring is sealed of.

Blair-Lee house for them. The
admiral made it difficult for his
cousin during the war. He
headed the Atlantic blockade of
the Confederate ports from Hat
teras to the Potomac. When Mr..
Blair died he left Silver Spring to
Elizabeth. There was about 160
acres in the estate.
The Lees had a son, Blair Lee,

Pepco Termed

ByAFL Official
Award of Contracts
On Cost-PIus Busis
Attacked at Hearing

An AFL Central Labor Union
official today declared the Poto-
moe Electric Power Co. was guilty
of "uneconomical practices" in
awarding contracts for work on
cost-plus basis.
j. C. Turner, vice president of
the Central Labor Union, made
the charges as the Public Utilities
Commission resumed its hearing
on the power company's request
for an overall go per cent in
crease in rates.
The hearing has been under
way sporadically since last Au-
gust 81.
Mr.. Turner said that Pepco gave
most of its business in extending
conduit lines TO two companies.
He said these companies do the
work on a cost-plus basis. and
that this practice is unfair" and
places a burden on Washington
consumers. He laShed out par
ticularly at one of the companies.
stating that it paid below the
going scale for workers.
Charges "Boondoggling."
He said the jobs this company
did were "boondoggling opera
tions" which ran up the cost Of
doing the job for Pepco. Mr..
Turner said his group thought the
requested increase was excessive
but that possibly the power COM
pany should have a small raise
in Its rates.
The PUG also heard Walter E.
Bernd, Of the Terminal Refriger-
ating and Warehouse Corp, tes-
tify in opposition to the proposed
rate increase.
Mr.. Bernd said his company had
an annual power bill of more than
100000 and would be increased
about 8 per cent by the new rates.
The companys power bill, he de-
clared, would be 35 per cent over
what it was in 1943 if Pepco is
granted the increase. He said he
felt his company was getting a
disproportionate share of the in
crease.
After these two witnesses were
heard, the PUG recalled to the
stand James K. Macintosh, from
the Public Utilities Branch of
General Services Administration,
the Governments housekeeping
department.
q. S. Rise Would Be IL Per Cent.
The Federal Government, one
OF Pepco's biggest customers, faces
an II per cent increase in it's
power bill.
Interested parties in the pro-
ceedings then began cross exam
Iination of Mr.. Macintosh on pro-
posals he advanced for alloting
any rate increase granted among
the various customers. Under Mr..
Mac1ntosh's method, the Federal
Government would pay only about
6 per cent more under the Pepco
proposal.
The transit company is not
only fighting an increase in it's
power bill, but is asking that its
rates be cut 100000 a year.
| Pepco wants to raise the transit
company's bill by So per cent. The
overall 90 increase which Pepco
is seeking is intended to bring in
an additional $3,379,000 annually.
