year term on January 7. Mr.
IODea said at that time he was
not interested in reappointment
since no staff was provided fol-
the Office.
The bureau told the President
that under the circumstances
with no staff available-it would
recommend that the Office be
abolished. s 7.. s..,,,
The matter had been held ir

Mr.. Dawson went to the District
Building to thrash out the matter
Today'S conferees were reluctant

At the college, most OF the stu
dents share double rooms in the
schools dormitory. The school
day starts with classes at 9 am,
after breakfast in the college din
ing room, run as GSI concession.
Glasses run throughout the morn
ing and afternoon, broken by dis
cussion periods. The evenings are
left free to allow groups of STU
dents interested in particular
phases of civil defense to get
together on their own.
Gamut of Discussion.
For lecturers, the college faculty
of five instructors is supplemented
by the top experts of the Federal
agency. They run the gamut from
discussion Of the possibility of war
by a State Department officer to
the problems of organizing mobile
support teams for critical target
areas.
The students are not inclined
to take all of their instruction
lying down. Many of them are
experts in their own right. All Of
them are less interested in the
theory than.t practical applica-
ton of civil defense in their own
localities. Occasionally they give
lecturers a tough time.
At recent lecture on supply
services for instance, the instruc-
tor painted an optimistic picture

Capital Transit
Profits Soar 10
Record Height
Net Income This Year
6 Times Greater Than
Same Period in 1850

Capital Transit Co.'s net income,
for the first five months Of this
year was almost six times greater
than it's earnings in the same
1850 period as result Of further
slashes in operating expenses and
a fare increase granted in July,
1850.
Net income for the five months
scared to $760,558, compared with
$l29,903 a year earlier. Despite
a general advance in the cost of
materials, operating expenses were
trimmed to $S,732, 1927, or $271,-
154 below 1850 levels.
Passengers Decreased.
Passengers carried in the five
months decreased to 143, 792, 400,
drop Of 6.3 per cent from a year
earlier. but as a result of the 1850
fare increase. operating revenues
rose to $12, 1854, 758. compared with
$11 1880 a year earlier.
How well the company Wi
maintain its improved condition
depends mainly on whether and
how soon it will be granted an
other fare increase to help offset
the retroactive wage increase just
awarded to employees. The wage
increase is expected to add around
SIS million a year to operating
expenses.
The company plans to file an
application, for the higher rates
with the Public Utilities Commits
sion within tive weeks. Officials
indicated that the abolition of
passes and tokens and a straight
15-cents fare probably would be
sought.
Fare Increase Wanted.
The time required for the PUG
to decide the higher fare proposal
will determine how much of the
earnings improvement will be
kept. If public opposition to the
higher fares develops on any scale
and hearings are prolonged, it
will limit the company's earnings
for each week of delay. -
Earnings for May showed a
sharp increase over May, 1850.
but not in as great a proportion
as the five months figures. The
months net income was $193, 1877,
compared with $67,047 in May.

200 per cent.
Revenues rose to SASH ,277,

Flood Of Pleas
For Rent Raises
Indicated Here
-
Hundreds of Calls
Seeking information
Are Handled Daily

Landlords are losing no time
in getting information from the
District Rent Control Administra-
ton on how to go about request
ing rent increases under the new
District law.
District Rent Administrator
Robert F. Cogswell said today he
thought that owners of the bulk
of the eligible rental units would
apply for rent boosts.
He estimated the number Of
units at about 100000.
Under the new law, increases
of 20 per cent over January l.,
1941, levels can be charged, less
any increases which may have
been granted since that date.
Forms Must Be Filed.
The raises will go into effect
automatically with the filing by
the landlord of a form yet to be
printed. The forms must be filed
with the Rent Control Admins
tration, situated in the old Force
School, 1740 Massachusetts, ave-
nue. NV
Mr.. Cogswell said he hoped to
have a supply of the printed
forms available by July 10 or be-
fore.
Some landlords will not be en-
titled to an increase. Others will
be entitled to a maximum of less
than 20 per cent.
F. III. A. Offers Protection.
Those who will not be entitled
to any boost at all are those VINO
own FHA-insured apartments
completed after March 81, 1948.
These rents were controlled by
FILA itself, and the law fixed them
at their present level.
! Landlords owning other apart
ments completed in years Subse-
, quent to 1941, will be entitled to
rent increases of 2 per cent per
calendar year after completion
through 1850, less the amount of
: the increases granted since COM
pletion.
!, Thus, an apartment completed
in November, 1914, would be sub
ject to an increase of per cent
per year for seven years. less the
; amount of any increase which
went into effect during that time.
The rent administrator said his
Office had received several hundred
calls day since Monday. The
bill was signed June 80.
Low-Rent Units to Be Hit.
, Mr.. Cogswell said many of the
t city'S apartments and rental
S houses have had rent raises since
/ 1874. On the whole, he said, the
:. lower rent units had fewer rent
increases than the higher-rent
Y places.
:. This will mean. he said, that
the percentage increases to be
! granted probably will be higher
t for the lower-rent units than for
the higher-rent places.
: The rent administrator cited.

buildings in the higher rent cate

received a II per cent rent boost.

There's the obvious dividend -
well-carved fowl looks more APP
petizing and lends an undeniable
graciousness to dining. Thanks also
to good carving and this is where
the economy comes ina fowl tastes
better, goes further and stays moist
and delectable down to the last
smidgin.
For best results, slice across the
grain. This is fundamental to all
kinds of meat because it cuts the
fibers and makes the meat more
tender. Forget this number-one rule,
and the penalty is stringy piece Of
meat.
Cut sharply, and that means ''cut, J"
no whiting, ripping or saving.
And never, never alter the angle of
the knife after the first incision has
been made. Otherwise Jagged slice
will result, and besides being unat-
tractive, it's wasteful.
a nodding acquaintance with the
anatomy of what you're carving
location of joints and direction in
which fibers run-will simplify the
problem.

A Mothers Problem

"AS SOON AS my children are old
enough TO be Of real help they hove SO
mony things of their own to do they
hove neither time nor interest in helping
at home" writes q mother.
Every mother and father, too,
knows exactly what this problem
is. Many of us have tried to solve it
or get through it somehow. We want
our boys to take part in athletics be-
cause it is one place where they
should be able to learn good sports
manship. We want our girls to take
music lessons or to be interested in
making their own clothes or in fix
ing up their rooms.
We wonder if children do not have
to be taught to help in the home
from the time they are tiny. We cam
not do everything for them and sud-
denly when they are adolescents de-
mand they take an interest in clean
ing and dish washing. Many of US
have had little training in teaching
and we somehow think our children
should absorb these things. They
don't. If father and mother have done
things for them all along, they have
not developed a sense of respon-
sibility.
When children are little we are
apt not to have the necessary pa
tience with their mistakes, failures
and fumblings. So we do things our
selves. 1t is easier. How then are we
to suddenly demand their help es-
pecially when they are going through
all the Illustrations of adolescence?
On the other hand, if we want our
children to take part in extra-cur-
ricular activities shouldn't we realize
that their time and energy is linn
tied? If they are to do whatever they
undertake well, should we not help
them by giving time and encourage
ment for their interests?
Also, too many households do moi
have a well established routine. The
day starts by everyone getting uI
too late, rushing around and eating
breakfast on the run. Had the wheels
of the household been runnin
smoothly half an hour earlier, thu
picture would have been changed TO
everyone. Breakfast over, daughte
may even have five minutes to wip,
the dishes before she leaves TO

Too often our attitudes as parent
are: you ought to feel a respon
sibility in helping around the house,
or ''You should be ashamed not to d
something when we feed and cloth

Like all problems, we should b
