More Cold Forecast,
but Without Snow

More cold and cloudy weather,
but little or no snow, was forecast
for the Washington area today
and tomorrow.
About an inch of the 3-inch
weekend snow remained on the
ground this morning, but most
streets and roads were clear
enough to permit normal traffic.
Closed yesterday because of i'm
passable roads, schools opened
again today in Falls Church, Fair
fax County and most of Is other
Virginia counties affected.
Motorists were warned that some
danger still existed from packed
snow and ice.
Slippery sidewalks sent two per-
sons to Arlington Hospital. Mrs.
Flora Stallings, At, of 1910 Fairfax
drive, was treated for an arm in
jury. and Eugene McCage, so, of
4746 North First street, was ad-
mitted for X-ray tests.
Tonight's low in Washington
will be about 80 degrees, normal
for this time of year.

Transit stockholders
Approve 4-for~1 Split
In Capital Shares
PIon, Voted by Large
Margin, Still Must Be
Okoyed by PUG and ICC
By Donald B. HodIey

Stockholders of Capital Transit
Co. today approved 4-for-1 split
up in capital stock by a large
margin, and aside from an ex-
change of words between a wom-
an stockholder and President E. D.
Merrill, the special meeting was
routine.
About Is stockholders attended
the meeting. company officials
said. Proxies for 192.465 shares
were cast in favor of the proposal
while 1,164 shares were voted
against. The total shares voted
was the largest for any meeting
in the company's history, officials
said.
Under the proposal. the number
Of shares will be increased to $780,
900 from the present 100000 and
the par value will be reduced to
s25 a share from the present 500.
Must Be Approved by PUG.
Mr.. Merrill. who also is board
chairman, presided at the meet
ing. He reminded stockholders
that the plan still must be ap-
proved by the Public Utilities
Commission and the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The PUG hearings originally set
for last Friday were postponed
until next Friday at request of
counsel. The ICC hearings on the
proposal have been scheduled for
next Monday.
Mrs. Margaret Spinks, TIA Rox-
boro place NV, asked Mr.. Mer-
rill if the Public Utilities Commits
sion had more to say about the
plan than stockholders.
Mr.. Merrill told her the PUG
had to approve the number of
shares outstanding. According to
company officials, she countered
by asking, why not have the
PUG buy stock, too, and then they
wouldn't have so much to say?"
He replied that the law creating
the PUG prohibited the commits
sion from owning any shares in a
utility.
Florida Groups Vote Unknown.
How many of the shares were
voted by the Florida group which
acquired control of the company
a year ago remained unknown.
The proxy statement sent out in
advance of the meeting said Louis
Wolfson, head of the group, was
the only individual stockholder
owning more than 10 per cent of
the 240,000 shares outstanding.
1t also stated that Mr.. ,Wolfson
was the owner of record or bene-
f1cially of 58,124 shares. How
ever. in August Mr.. Wolfson re-
vealed that his group at that time
had increased it's holdings to "just
about" so per cent.
In the financial district, where
rumors and speculation about the
company have piled up, it was
variously guessed that the groups
holdings ran between go and 80
per cent of the total outstanding.

vinced from his talks with Chinese
Communist envoy WI Hsiu-chuan
that the Peiping government
wants peace. He warned, how
ever, that the Chinese people
seem to be moving toward a sort
of Monroe Doctrine for the Far
East.
Rau proposed that the Chinese
Reds be given a direct voice in
settling outstanding Asian prob
lens after the basis for a cease
fire in Korea is worked out.
Two Resolutions Offered.
The Middle East-Asian plan was
embodied in two resolutions
worked out in a series of closed
door conferences just before the
Political Committee met this
morning. Rau asked for top pri-
ority consideration of the, pro-
posals.
The committee overrode Soviet
opposition and decided to begin
debate at once on the new pro-
posals. The vote was 48 to S
(Soviet bloc) with four abstentions.

Nationalist China ,abstained.

circulated just before the Political

from Washington.

Union Official Testifies
Reds Told Members
To Join Progressives
Also Ordered Communists
Into Civil Rights Group,
House Probers Hear
BY Robert K. Walsh

Communist Party leaders in the
District directed members to join
the Progressive Party and the
Civil Rights Congress here and to
control policies of the AFL Build
ing Laborers' Union, the House
Committee on Un-American Acti-
vities heard today.
Thomas G. Sampler, 80, colored,
Iof 1861 Gales street NE, secre-
tary-treasurer of Local IA of the
union, gave that testimony. He
declared that Communist Party
heads in this area ordered him to
step down from the presiden OF
Local IA in 1948 so that Henry
Thomas, now the president, could
take over.
Mr.. Sampler said he belonged
to the Communist Party from
May, 1947, to April, 1949, when he
broke all connection with it after
signing a Taft-Hartley law non
Communist affidavit.
Says He Quit Party.
The union official asserted that
Communist Party leaders often
attempted to have him follow the
party line in the union. but that
he resisted all such efforts after
signing the affidavit. He named
Mr.. Thomas as one of the prom
inent Communists here who not
only tried to influence him during
the last year but also continued
to fight for Communist Party pol
icies in the union.
Mr.. Thomas testified yesterday
that he quit the Communist Party
after signing a non-Communist
affidavit at the same time Mr.
Sampler did. He admitted how
ever, that he "instinctively" con-
tinued to follow parts of the party
line and occasionally conferred
with party leaders.
The Civil Rights Congress anc
its executive secretary, Thomas
Buchanan, were brought into the
picture today by Mr.. Sampler.
Instructed to Join Group.
He testified that ne had hearc
the Civil Rights Congress dis
cussed at meetings of the Wash
ington Committee of the Commu-
mist Party where leaders instruct
ed Communists to join the con-
gress. He added that Mr.. Bu-
chanan was present at one of the
city committee meetings he at
tended.
