Senate Crime Probe

Kefouver Hopes to Get
Approval Of Inquiry
During Next Week
BY the Associated Press

Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee said today he has been
assured that the Department of
Justice will throw it's full support
behind a $150,o00 Senate crime
investigation.
The Tennessee lawmaker is
slated to direct the proposed in
quiry which is expected to get
Senate approval some time next
week.
Senator Kefauver said he be-
lieves Attorney General McGrath
will go so far as to loan" some
of his experts to the Senate in
vestigators who may carry the
inquiry into several cities.
Senator Kefauver hopes to brinl
the resolution authorizing a spe-
cial f1veman investigating COM
mittee before the Senate Monday
But legislative pressures may in
terfere.
Democratic Leader Lucas OF
Illinois said the foreign aid pro-
gram is next on the list of major
bills to be called up. He said he
wasn't sure it could be displaced
for the investigation resolution.
The resolution would authorize
Vice President Barkley to choose
the committee from the Senate's S
Judiciary and Commerce Com
mittees.
Each of these committees was
going ahead with its own plans
for a crime investigation until
the Democratic leadership decided
to merge the inquiries. This move
has called out opposition from
the Republican Policy Committee
which wants to keep the investi-
cation in the Judiciary Commit
tee.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio said he believes the new
move was an effort to keep those
Republicans of the committee
who were most interested in a
crime inquiry. These two are

and Donnell Of Missouri.

New Increase
In Power Rate
Boost Is Needed
To Meet Expenses,
Bourd Is Told

plans to ask the Public Utilities
Commission for a rate increase
soon. it was disclosed today.
The move was announced by
Alfred G. Neal, president and
chairman of the Pepco board. at
its annual meeting.
The effect on consumers was
not revealed. Mr.. Neal said the
increase will be asked because
company earnings in the first
quarter of this year were below
the authorized SIS per cent return
allowed on the present rate.
Operation Costs Cited.
The official said the higher rates
are absolutely imperative because
of constantly increasing costs Of
operation.
AT the same time. Mr.. Neal said
the utility firm intends to sell $50
million in bonds this year. He
added. however, that $40 million
will be in the form of refinancing.
Pepco's last rate increase went
into effect July 81. l948, with the
average family paying about 80
cents a month more for power.
The increase at that time was
granted by the PUG after Pepco
officials said the boost was needed
to offset rising costs and to allow
needed expansion. That increase
was expected to give the firm
about $2,748.000 more in annual
operating revenue.
Money Needed for Expansion.
About year ago. the utility
firm outlined an expansion pro-
gram of about $66 million.
Calling of the bond issue an
nounced today by Mr.. Neal means
the company will get only $40 mil
lion in new money. The funds
are needed to meet the expansion
program, Mr.. Neal said.
Common stockholders are to Be
given an opportunity to subscribe
for new common stock on the
basis of cne share for each fivs
shares now held.
The board of IL directors was
reelected at the meeting held In
