Introduction Of Fordomatic eli
makes several years of intensive
engineering research by the COM
pany to develop fully automatic
transmission that is simple to ope-
rate, economical, long wearing and
easy to service. The device, which
will be optional at extra cost, COM
bines the advantages of hydrau-
lie torque converter and plane
tary gear train to provide maxi
mum performance and smooth
and economical flow of power.
The distinctive styling of the
1949 and 1850 models has beer
retained, but with refinements anC
improvements both in interiors anC
exteriors.
A lowered hood, new dual
spinner grille and wider, longer
wrap-around bumper give a more
massive appearance to the front

"Chanalited" instrument cluster
adds safety and convenience, and
the speedometer pointer has a
glowing ring which encircles and
illuminates the figure showing the
speed. The instrument control
knobs are mounted in depressed
cups, each individually lighted.
Key starting is provided by the
new ignition switch which incor-
porates the starter control. The

which is made possible by suspen-
sion improvements and automatic
ride controls.A new control valve
was developed in the hydraulic
shock absorbers, which adjusts the
cushioning effect. The combination
of new tension-type rear spring
suspension and softer front spring
rate maintains proper balance
between the front and rear for a

designed.

Nicely To Seek
Rent Control
Here
Also Plans Effort
To End Exemption
Of Rooming Houses

Chairman Nicely of the Senate
District Committee today declared
he will move to extend rent con-
trolls here when Congress recon-
venes next Monday.
The Democratic Senator from
West Virginia said also he will try
to delete from the present rent
law those provisions exempting
apartment house. hotel and ROOM
ing house quarters from controls.
Generally, apartment houses in
Washington are under rent con-
trols except those in transient ho-
tells. All rooming houses have
been decontrolled except those in
which cooking facilities are avail
able. Extensive remodeling. suf-
ficient to require tenant to move.
also automatically decontrols
dwellings.
Complaints Cited.
Mr.. Neely said he has received
recently such complaints as that
Of a middle-class wage Garner who
told him her rent increased from
$57 monthly to $3.50 as a result
of the exemption clause. This
sort Of thing is outrageous, the
Senator told The Star from his
Fairmont (W. Va home.
Under the present law. Congress
can extend rent controls by act
ing any time before January 81.
President Truman recently re-
Iquested Congress to extend ma
tional controls to March 81.
President William Green II the
American Federation of Labor,
meanwhile. today sent telegrams
to Chairman Maybank of the
Senate Banking Committee and
Chairman Spence Of the House
Banking Committee emphasizing
the need for extended controls
throughout the Nation.
Legislators Lauded.
Mr.. Green lauded the legislators
for their recently announced stand
to that effect. He emphasized that
curtailed home building, due to
mobilization cutbacks in domestic
supplies, make strong rent con-
trolls even more essential than
heretofore.
1T is imperative that this (next)
session of Congress extend the
present program at least until
March 81 so that the 82d Con-
gress will be able to adopt a
strengthened rent control pro.
gram to meet emergency needs Of
defense mobilization" the union
official declared.
Senator Neely said today that
these are words of wisdom" and
added that he will support national
controls as well as local. -,
He added that he has not de-
cided specifically how long the ex-
tension should run, but feels that
controls will be necessary probably
as long as war conditions last.

and her son, Jim, 5. suffered burns
to their backs, arms, legs and

The big section of 30-inch pipe,

Another house owned by Earl
Hawkins, which also was about
IS yards from the explosion, had
a few broken windows, and two
brooder houses were destroyed by
the fire, the police reported.
Also damaged was a section of
Route CAT. under which the pipe
line was laid. A piece of pave
ment about 18 feet square was
uprooted on each side.
Gas Cut Off.
On arrival at the scene, Trooper
Moore called his station by radio,
and the flow of gas was cut off
at the nearest pipeline station,
causing the flames to die down q
bit. Even SO, the flames were
continued to shoot from the
broken pipeline for hours after
wards.
Sheriff B. H. Wayland, of Cul-

flames from seven miles away.
1T looked like a flash of light

Moore said some gas had been
put in the pipeline yesterday
while pressure was being checked.
The line, he said, is owned by

Giddings Says 1850
Transit Earnings TO
Cover Dividend

Earnings of the Capital Transit
Co. for all of 1850 will cover divi-
dend payments of SO a share, E.
Cleveland Giddings, vice president,
declared yesterday.
He added that, since a Florida
group took control a year ago in
September, the management has
instituted sharp economies, and
the fare increase on July Is will
further improve net income. He
said the company has prepared
estimates Of 1850 net income, but
does want to release them at this
time.
A second 81 quarterly dividend
was declared this week, raising
the years dividents to So. The
first 81 quarterly dividend de-
clared in September doubled the
50-cent rate for dividends in the
first two quarters of this year.
S720,000 Net Indicated.
On the basis of 240,000 out
standing shares and this years
payments of So. Mr.. Gidding's
statement indicated company esti-
mates of the years net income
must run as high as $4,000 after
payment of taxes and interest.
Net income for 1949, after taxes
and interest. amounted to only
1882, ,432 after charges.
Since the company's October f.
nancial report has not appeared
as yet. results for only the first
nine months of this year are
known generally.
These show net income running
substantially below those of a
year ago. despite improvement
since the July fare increase. Net
income for July was $34,849. But
in August. the first full month of
the higher fares. it jumped to
$96,280 and was $83,714 in Sep
tember. Net income for the first
nine months of this year was
given as 1886, ,229. compared with
$527,801 for the comparable period
in 1949.
Power Cost a Factor.
In regard to the PUG hearings
on the proposal to increase power
rates charged Capital Transit by
Potomac Electric Power Co., Mr.,
Giddings said it was difficult to
estimate what effect the proposed
increase in charges might have on
transit earnings.
However, he referred to his
company's estimates that the
higher charges. if approved, would
add SO per cent to it's power costs,
He said these costs now are run
ming between 100000 and $780,
| 600. The indicated result would
be annual power costs of $1,272,-
900 to 81 ,431 900, or a Jump in the
company's total operating costs of
$472,000 to $531. 900.
