Senator Fulbright of Arkansas

investigations, were on hand.
When reporter asked Senator
Fulbright if he would pose with
the President for a picture, the
Senator cracked:
mo, I don't want to be assinine. -
The President earlier this year
had used that word in describing
an RFC report issued by the
Arkansas Senator's banking sub
committee.
The large Maryland delegation
caused the only ripple of excite
|ment during the dinner. Armed
with standards predicting victory
in 1852, about 200 Marylanders,
led by Senator O'Conor, paraded
i'm front of President Truman and
the head table dignitaries. The
band struck up Maryland, My

Truman led in the applause.
Labor Bid Is Seen.
An indication of a strong Demo-
cratic bid for labor votes in 1852
was seen in the fact that five
top union officials were seated at
the head table. They were Will
liam Green and Joseph D. keenan,,
of the AFL; James B. Carey, who
represented Philip Murray; Alan
Haywood and Jack Kroll, of the
CIO. II
Also at the head table were all
of the cabinet officers except Gen.
Marshall. who makes it a point
not to attend political dinners,
James G. Patton, head of the
National Farmers Union; Gov.
Frank Lausche of Ohio, who irked
the President when he failed to
campaign against Senator Taft
last fall. and Gov. Paul A. Dever
OF Massachusetts,. o.
Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughn,
the Presidents military aide, was
there in a dinner jacket.
Here's the $100-a-plate menu,

How WoIfson Changes Affect Transportation

dered by CTC, dividend policies OF
any other financial aspects of the
business.
Mr.. McCrea argued before the
SEC that the new owners could
pay large salaries. give contracts
change assets and act at will and
the present owners could be frozen
out. He contended CTC had a
net value Of $21 million in cars
buses. land terminals and every
thing else--or 800 a share plus SIC
a share for actual cash on hand
making it worth over $110 a share
plus the company's ownership o1
Glen Echo Amusement Park.
Mr.. McCrea said that from 1885
to 1948 inclusive CTC earned $11
million net.
He declared the company paic
out only % per cent or $3.3 millior
in dividends or an average of 81 .3{
per share. He contended the
difference of $7.5 million wa:
largely in cash"
Mr.. McCrea also pointed out
that the market price of the stock
was depressed because the stock.
holders had contented themselves
with 81 or So a share dividends
per year. But 10 to Is years pre-.
viously the stockholders had ere.
ceived S., So. ST or $8," he said
Nov the stockholders are ir
the amazing position of finding
control of the company dumped in
the hands of spectators, simply
because they have put their divi-
dends back into the company te
build 1t up. and the market price
of the stock has been depressed,
he maintained.
E. D. Merrill. then CTC presi-
dent. told the SEC hearing that
the company's policy for many
years was to build up facilities
and keep them up to date, in
preference to paying maximum
possible dividends.
Obviously. If the property is
not kept UP, dividends might be
paid for awhile and then they
would hayer to be discontinued, !"
declared Mr.. Merrill, who retired
as president last Tuesday. keep
ing up the property would cer-
tainly look toward a more per-
manent and more stable dividend
policy than letting it slide off,"
Asked whether any different
policy might result in very large
disbursements of dividends to any
new group of owners who chose
not to follow that policy, Mr.. Mer-
rill replied:
I assume that the directors
would function as trustees of all
the owners and would exercise
good judgment in that respect"
But despite the fight of the
stockholders who opposed the
Florida investors, the new owners
received both SEC and Interstate
Commerce Commission approval
and took over control of Capital
Transit.

man, through mutual friend in
Atlanta, Ga, interested the new
owners in the property.
Behind this transaction lies q
story in which the Roosevelt ad-
ministration's Sght on holding
companies plays an important
part.
After a long discussion to merge
competing street railway COM
panies here, Congress by special
legislation set up the Capital
Transit Co. in 1888. The act to
permit the merger was passed
March 4. 1925.
Approval Came in 1888.
But that law provided that the
Public Utilities Commission anC
Congress by joint resolution must
approve. Not until January IA
1888, was this finally done.
For years, the Capital Traction
Co. and the Washington Railway
g. Electric Co. carried streetcal
passengers here. Out of this
Shotgun wedding" as a witness
before the Securities & Ex-
change Commission described the
merger, emerged the Capita,
Transit Co.
About December, 1888, Capita.
Transit took over all properties
of the Capital Traction Co. anc
all the transportation properties
of the Washington Railway &
Electric Co. Capital Traction Co
was then 1iquidated.
But WRECO, which through
ownership of the entire common
stock controlled the Potomac
Electric Power Co., was not dis
solved until 1947, under proceed
ings under the Public Utility
Company Holding Act.
Virtual Monopoly.
Capital Transit took over the
Washington Rapid Transit Co,
busline operation, on June II,
1886. Thus it has since enjoyed
a virtual monopoly of mass trans
portation.
True, there are two buslines
that are permitted by the Public
Utilities Commission to carry
passengers within the District.
But officials of those concerns
say this District business is only
fraction of the total. And they
do not consider this direct compe-
tition with CTC.
The Alexandria, Bancroft &
Washington Transit Co. on
southbond trips can pick up pas
sengers any place between it's
terminal at Twelfth street and
Pennsylvania avenue NV. and
discharge them at the jefferson
Memorial. 1t does not pick uu
passengers within the District
northbound, after leaving that
memorial. It serves the tourist
camp and Potomac Park.
The Washington, Marlboro &
Annapolis Motor Lines, Inc.
serves Southeast within the Dis
trlct. On westbound trips the
company can pick up, passengers
at stops east of Sousa Bridge and
discharge them between there
and the Eleventh street and Penn
sylvania avenue NV. terminal
On eastbound operations the
company can pick up passengers
at any stop, but the first dis
charge stop is east of Sousa
Bridge.
Neither of these companies has
made serious attempt to enter

SEED FALL
CABBAGE NOW

Cabbage and related plants are
cool weather crops and should be
seeded now so that they will ma
ture in the cool months of the
fall, advises Ed Bender, University
of Maryland Extension garden
specialist.
Broccoli, brussels sprouts, cab
bage, caulifiower and collards all
belong to the same family, and are
easy to grow. Late crops are likely
to be more successful than early
season paintings.
Seed can be sown in the open
now, and the plants will be ready
for transplanting in about 5 weeks.
The cabbage family will do we'll
on acid soil, but it requires plenty
of fertilizer and moisture. Since
most Of the roots develop near the
surface of the soil, cultivation
should be shallow.
By choosing varieties wisely and
planting at the proper time you
will have steady supply of these
popular, vitamin-rich vegetables
during the fall months.

Assistant Named
To Upper County
Planning Group

At its meeting on Tuesday, the
County Council named a 3Oyear-
old Bostonian as assistant plannel
of the Upper Montgomery County
Planning Commission.
He is Harold Taubin of Cam
bridge, Mass, a World War IL
veteran, who holds a degree from
the City College of New York and

The Planning Commission an
nounced work on proposed regu-
lations to control land subdivision
in the upper county, is about com
pleted and will be sent to the
Council soon.
The commission suggested, how
ever, that the proposed regulations
be reviewed by officials of the in
corporated areas of Rockville,
Gaithersburg, Washington Grove,
Poolesville, GAINESVILLE and Lay
louisville. These areas are exempt
from regulations of the commits
sion unless they formally request
to be covered by them.
A commission official pointed
cut that land subdivision in Mont
gomery County areas adjacent to
the District is controlled by regula-
tons of the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission Subdivision in upper coun-
ty areas is not regulated, and the
Upper Montgomery County Plan
ming Commission hopes to get COM
plete coverage from its regulations.
Lathrop Smith, president pre-
tenn of the Council, announced
members of the Japanese Diet will
visit the county for three days
beginning July %.
The Council appointed Harriet H.
