S887, 900 Set Aside
For A-Bomb Shelter
AT White House

President Truman has ear
marked 1881 900 of the White
House reconstruction funds to
build an enlarged bomb shelter
according to testimony developed
oy hearings on the appropriation
bill.
The report made public last
night quoted Budget Director
Frederick j. Lawton as explain
ing that the money would be spent
for protective installations" but
his replies to questions about de.
tails were "off the record"
1t has been understood that
the new shelter is nioderniza-
tion of that built under the east
end OF the White House for Pres
ident Roosevelt. 1t is equipped
to withstand an atomic bomb
attack and has living quarters
with plumbing and furnishings
that would permit the occupants
to "hole up comfortably for brief
periods.
The funds allotted are over and
above the $6.5 million previously
provided fer the reconstruction Of
the mansion.
Evening star., 1951-04-18

downward trend, fewer miles oper-
ated and a reduction in the num-
ber of employees offset these losses
to some extent" said the report.
tWhile we may expect higher
level of business activity in an ex-
Ipanding National Capital area.
its effect upon future earnings of
your company will depend good
deal on the Government tax pro-
gram, the ability to avoid or
earsuccessfully with inflationary
trends, the plans of the national
Government to expand and, per-
IhapS, decentralize its activities.
None of these developments are
certain at the time of writing this
report but we are hopeful they
will be resolved in a way that will
not affect our ability to satisfac-
torily serve the public.
173% Net Income Rise.
Total operating revenues for
1850 were $27,753, ,696 a decrease
of 2.30 per cent since 1949. Total
operating expenses. taxes, depre-
citation and interest charges for
1850 were 1894 .064 a decrease of
4.37 per cent as compared with the
prior year. Incorporating income
was $86,225 for 1850. Net income
for 1850 was $9o5.857 or $3.77 per
share of stock as compared to
$332,10 or $1.39 per share in
1949. This was an increase of
173 per cent in net income.
"a dividend of So per share
was paid in 1880"
The report declared there was
a total cut of 1881, ,222 in street
car and bus miles during the
year The 1949 figure was 49,
596,295 miles compared with last
years's 40,745,073 miles. The SUBJ
Stitution of buses for street cars
occurred May i, 1949 on the Ben
ming line.
AS part of the economy pro-
gram, the company said last June
it discontinued the use of separate
quarters for the employment de-
Ipartment. and some other activities
and moved the personnel into the
main office, at Thirty sixth and M
streets, NV. Likewise, the Lost
and Found Department which oc-
.cupied rented quarters downtown
were shifted to the Mechanical
Department building at 1922 M
street NV.
Savings in Rentals.
The move represented a con-
siderable saving in monthly rent
ais, declared the report.
In spite of increased wage rates,
the company said economies re-
suited in decreased operating ex-
penses. Because of the reduced
street car and bus schedules,
brought about by fewer riders, the
company declared:
Fewer vehicles were used and
the manpower necessary to main
tain and service them was re-
duced. AS of the close of 1850,
4,270 employees were on the pay
