Increase in Gas Cost
May Result in Rise
OF Washington Rates

The Washington Gas Light Co.
contends it's costs for gas would
be increased by nearly 81 million
a year under new schedules pro-
posed by the Atlantic Seaboard
Corp.
The Federal Power Commission
yesterday opened a hearing to
establish rates for Atlantic Sea-
board, which supplies Baltimore
and Washington. and the Virginia
Gas Transmission Corp.
A Washington gas company
official said such a cost boost
would necessitate an appeal to
the Public Utilities Commission
for an increased rate to consum-
ers. This would be in addition to
the $750,000 increase already
authorized by the PUG and now
pending in the courts.
The Seaboard Corp. contends
that the proposed new schedules
would cause an increase of only
about 100000 to the Washington
Gas Light Co. The company's at
torneys said today the overall in
crease would exceed 81 million.
The hearing may continue for
several days. The company plans
to call three or four witnesses
from among its rate and produc-
ton experts, Oscar Berry, a COM
ipany attorney, said.
| Officials of the Seaboard Corp.
testified all day on technical de-
tails of the requested schedules.
Atlantic Seaboard plans to sell
the Washington company an in
creased amount of gas from the
Southwest, which has a lower
heating value than gas from Ken
lucky and West Virginia.

No Special Evacuation
OF Children Planned,
FondahI Tells Group

No plans have been made yet
for the evacuation OF Washington
children in the event of an
A-bomb attack. according to In
spector John E. Fondahl.
The acting chief of civil de-
fense for the District, speaking
before the Fort Davis Citizens
Association last night. had this
to say in reply to a Query from
Merrill E. Raybould, member of
the association:
"If we get the short warning
we eXpect-an hour or two-the
evacuation of children would tie
up every road leading out of the
city in 20 minutes. We would, of
course, like to assure you we
could move them out, but unless
we could see the bomb coming a
couple of weeks in advance-then
there's no way to evacuate them
swiftly"
Wants Something Done.
Mr.. Raybould, 38-year-old IA
ther of three children, was obvi-
ously concerned over the fact that
no plan was in the offng.
I'VE must take care of the kids
first" he said. They are our re-
Sponsibility, and moreover, they
would be a detriment in the city.
They would be in danger and in
our way here. I think something
should be done about the prob
lem"
Inspector Fondahl assured the
members that citizen groups all
over Washington will be called
on to cooperate as soon as the
civil defense department formu-
lates a workable plan that will
include volunteer wardens and
other necessary personnel.
Group Congratulated.
The association was congratu-
lated by its president, Mrs. Ed
ward B. Morris. who said:
We have become the first citi-
zen group to contribute over $100
to the court costs of the fight of
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations against the gas company's
proposed increased rates"
All Of the money came from
individual donations within the

Morris.

Restricted Drivinq
Permits Studied for
Certain Offenders

A plan for issuing Restricted"
drivers licenses to certain types
of offenders, rather than barring
them from driving altogether, is
under study today by subcom-
mittee of the Commissioners Traf-
fic Advisory Board.
The idea was discussed last
night by Nathan M. Lubar. chair
man of the subcommittee on laws
and legislation. and by Traffic
Director George E. Keneipp. dur
ing a board meeting in the Mu-
nicipal Center.
Revocation of license now
means the autoist may not drive
until the ban is lifted. The new
plan would take into considera-
ton, for example. the drivers
tendency to get into trouble at
night and would limit his driving
to daytime.
The subcommittee was in
structed to study the matter fur
ther and submit a formal report
to the full board at future date.
More Injuries.
In his report, Mr.. Keneipp dis
closed that, while the number of
traffic deaths is down, accident
and injury figures are rising.
He said that. between Janu-
ary and September 80, there
were 813 more accidents than dur
ing the comparable period in 1949:
also lat more injuries and 249
more property damage cases. For
the same periods, traffic arrests
increased by 15,775, he said. AS
of yesterday, there were 81 deaths
so far. as against SIS for this time
in 1949.
Construction of the South Cap
itol Street Bridge, which now car
ries an average of 35,490 vehicles
daily, has caused traffic on the
Eleventh Street Bridge to drop
AZ per cent, it was disclosed.
The completion of the Dupont
Circle underpass also has caused
an increase in Connecticut ave-
nue. traffic. The checking point
at Connecticut avenue and Devon
shire place NV. has shown a rise
of 27.1 per cent over the flow in
1949, Mr.. Keneipp said.
Other Bridge Traffic Up.
Rejecting a general rise of
about 10 per cent in the Districts
traffic, the city's other bridges
showed substantial increases, as
follows: .....
Sousa Bridge, up 84.2 per cent
over 1941; Highway Bridge, up
754 per cent since 1941, and 21.8
per cent since 1949; Key Bridge,
up 81 per cent in the past year.
owing to construction of the
Whitehurst Freeway, and the Me-
mortal Bridge, up 15.5 per cent
since 1949.
Soon to be installed. said Mr..
Keneipp, are traffic lights at Bla-
densburg road and Eastern avenue

Maryland Candidates
Turning Spotlight
To Eastern Shore
By Alex R. Preston
Star Stoff Correspondent

DENTON, Md, Oct. 1.-THE
Democrats came to the Eastern
Shore today. The Republicans are
due Thursday.
During much of the rest of this
week. Gov. Lane and his Re-
publican opponent, Theodore r.
McKeldin. are expected to have
quite bit to say about the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Gov. Lane will take the credit
for it. Mr. McKeldin will not op-
pose it but his workers have
strongly criticized the present ad-
ministration for the manner in
which the project was brought
about.
Some on the Eastern Shore do
not favor a direct connection with
the populous mainland" prefer
ring. instead. to retain their quiet
way of life. Those who feel this
way-believed to be in the minor
ity-think that the fiat truck
farming and fishing peninsula will
become just another suburb of
thriving, bustling Baltimore.
Wives to Attend Tea.
Republicans have charged the
Lane administration with paying
off political debts" in the deci-
sion to build a bridge and the
awarding of contracts. They say,
without declaring it to be the best
plan, that adequate consideration
was not given to a proposed tun-
mel beneath the bay.
The wives of the Democratic
candidates were to attend a tea
here this afternoon before the
Governor. Senator Tydings, At
torney General Hall Hammond
and Controller j. Millard Tawes
arrive later for a reception.
George Clendaniel. chairman of
the State Central Committee for
Carolina County, was in charge
of arrangements at the commun-
ity house for these festivities as
well as at a county, wide rally at
the armory this evening.
Fair Appearance Cancelled.
Gov. Lanes party was forced to
cancel a scheduled appearance at
Governors Day" at the Southern
Maryland Agricultural Fair at Up
per Marlboro tomorrow because
of the demands of the campaign
elsewhere. State Senate Presi-
dent Joseph R. Byrnes will rep
resent Gov. Lane. The Demo-
cratic invasion of Prince Georges
County is set for next Tuesday
with at least two rallies, at
Hyattsville and at Upper Marl-
boro.
The opposing candidates may
pass one another in mid-channel
of Chesapeake Bay Thursday be-
cause when the Republicans come
here the Democrats will head
back for Baltimore for rally at
the 5th Regiment Armory that
night.
There, a secret weapon" will
be unveiled. 1t is a recording of
speech by Mr.. McKeldin last
year. At that time, with no ap-
parent intentions of opposing Gov.
Lane, the Republican is reported
to have made some complimentary
remarks about the administration
of his present opponent.
After the Baltimore rally, the
Democrats will ferry back across
the bay to continue their Eastern
Shore tour in Worcester County
on Friday and in Wicomico Coun-
ty on Saturday. They are due in
Charles County Sunday while the
Republicans, so far, have left that
day open for a day of rest.

Fund Reduction
.Curbs Maryland
PdrkAcquisition
Planners Criticize
Budget Bureau Step
As Short t-Sighted'

An economy cut of approx
imately 100000 ordered in the
1851 appropriation for Natinal
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission was revealed yesterday
as seriously hampering a pro-
gram to include lands of five
small Maryland stream valleys
in the metropolitan park system.
Planning officials criticized the
Budget Bureau directed cut in
an already reduced land purchas-
ing appropriation as short-sighted
economy" About 100000 of the
reduction will be absorbed by the
Maryland program, with the re-
naming $4,000 loss suffered by
the District.
Resultant delays in acquiring
or taking up options in the Mary
land valleys, officials said, would
handicap them in a close race
against rising land values and en-
croachments by private real estate
operators.
Areas Affected.
The areas affected by the cut
in land-purchase funds under
the Capper-Cramton Act are: Sill
go Creek, with one unit each in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties; Northwest Branch and
Paint Branch in Prince Georges;
and Little Falls and Rock Creek
in Montgomery.
The reduction will have less
effect in the District and can be
more easily absorbed, it was ex-
planned. The projects that will
suffer from the defense savings,
however, have not been agreed
upon. There seems to be little
worry over them.
John Nolen, jr., director Of
planning, said the cut in the
Maryland program, on the other
hand, constitutes a serious prob
lem.
"All these projects are in critical
subdivision sections of the coun-
ties he said.
Some of the valleys-par-
ticularly Rock Creek and Sligo
Creek are being completely sur
rounded by subdivisions. Every de-
lay is going to cost the Federal
Government and Maryland more
money in the end"
Projects Restudied.
Taking the $4,000 reduction
into account, there remains little
less than 100000 in the amount
voted for valley land purchases in
the 1851 budget. NCPPC, however,
has carry-over of nearly $780,
900 from last year which can be
applied. The amount is not sufh-
cient.
Officials explained that the
valley projects must be acquired
as complete units and not piece
meal. Mr.. Nolen said all the six
projects (there being two in the
Sligo Valley must be restudied.
in view of the slash in funds, in
order to set new taking lines.
There is always the threat Of
acreage being bought up by private
developers and subdivided, he ex-
planned.
Two-thirds of the money ad-
vanced by NCPPC to Maryland
agencies for the valley lands would
be repayable to the United States
on an 8-year loan basis. The loan
is interest free. The other one
third is a contribution by the
Federal Government.
