Single RATE in Area
For Pipeline Gas
Urged al Hearing

The Federal Power Commission
is scheduled today to hear more
testimony from Erick Larson,
president of a Richmond pipeline
company, which has sided with
the Atlantic Seaboard Corp. in
its efforts to get higher natural
gas, rates for Washington.
The hearing before FPC Exam
liner Ewing Simpson is over At
lantic's petition to;raisesthe price
of gas it supplies tie Washington
Gas Light Co. The latter says
higher rates would cost area con-
sumers more than SIS million
annually. .az
MI. Larson. head of2the Com
monwealth Natural Gas Corp,
which supplies gAss to Richmond,
Petersburg and Hopewel1 utilities,
testified Yesterday that Virginia,
Maryland. and Washington should
be operated as single unit in
the Atlantic system for rate
making purposes.
2 or 3 Cents Difference.
It was explained by Atlantic
officials that all their customers,
except the Washington Gas Light
Co., now are paying the higher
rate for natural gas. They esti-
mated the average rate being paid
here at 80 cents per 1000 cubic
feet, as against IS to 36 cents for
other customers.
Mr.. Larson declared an estimate
of Atlantic that it made a 3.57
per cent return on its operations
in 1850 was low. At this point
FPC Attorney w. Russell Cor
man and Attorney c. Oscar Berry
of the Washington gas company
moved that Mr.. Larson's remarks
be stricken from the record.
This brought a clash with At
torney Robert E. May of Com
monwealth, and the examiner then
ruled in favor of Mr.. German and
Mr.. Berry.
Atlantic maintains that the
higher rate proposed for Washing
ton would give Atlantic a 6.31 per
cent return in 1851 and 1853 per
cent in 1852. This would average
out to 5.88 per cent. when 1905
rate is considered. In other rate
cases, the FPC has proposed 6 per
cent as a fair return, and the
courts have taken a similar view.
Rising Costs Cited.
r. ]. Ryder, vice president OF
Atlantic, testified as to rising labor
and material costs since the out
break of the Korean war. Accord
ingly, its cost estimates for the
year are now definitely on the
low side" he said.
He said higher demands for gas
from it's customers. including
Washington, made it necessary for
the company to drill new wells
and seek to obtain gas from other
sources.
He also opposed Washington
Gas Lights proposal that rates
be based on thermal value of the
gas, rather than simply on vol
ume, on the ground Atlantic buys
gas of varying quality and cannot
separate it..

FARM SAFETY
WEEK JULY 22-28
President Truman EncOurag-
ing Farm Residents to Adopt
Safe Practices in Work
EIGHTH OBSERVANCE

Encouraging all farm residents
to adopt safe practices in all phas-
es of farm life is the goal set by
President Truman in proclaiming
the eighth observance of National
Farm Safety Week, July 22-2S,
1851.
The Presidents proclamation
said, in part: Experience has
proved that observance of safe
practices in working and living can
reduce accidents. Now, therefore,
I urgently request each member of
every farm family to adopt safe
practices. !. to drive safely, work
safely and live safely.
II also request all organizations
and persons interested in farm life
to join in continuing program to
encourage the idea that farming
the safe way is farming the right
way"
Med II. Dearborn president Of
the National Safety Council, in dis
Smyrna times., 1951-07-19

cussing plans for National Farm
Safety Week, pointed out that it
is especially important for farm
people to adopt safe practices now,
in view of the national emergency.
Mr.. Dearborn said: THE Bureau
of Agricultural Economics tells us
there are 100000 fewer farm
workers than there were 10 years
ago; 50 each mans output is more
important. Moreover, during the
present crisis, unskilled workers
and women may have to be added
to the farm labor force; so the
likelihood of accidents may be in
creased. The situation demands
more attention to safe practices.
Mr.. John d. Reeder, president of
the Delaware Safety said: Nation
al Farm Safety Week is the time
for all farm people to resolve to
adopt safe practices in every phase
of farm life 81 weeks year. This
will reduce the tragic annual toll
of lives; it also will help increase
Americas manpower and produc-
tion, both of which are especially
needed in these times"

This and That

This siskin never gets tame, accord
ing to the owner. 1t is never finger
trained" as are canaries and parakeets.
So our original opinion, that it was
an escaped cage bird, turns out to be
true.
Another possibility had been that it
was tanager in one OF its color
phases. Another was that it was ver-
million f1ycatcher which had, through
some chance, flown into the area.
While there are undoubtedly more
accidental visitors, as they are called,
than realized, such a bird as this will
not often, if ever, be seen here naturally.
When a watcher sees some unusual
bird at feeding station, he may feel
sure that he is looking at an escapee
from a cage.
There are thousands of such birds in
cagesein and around Washington, and
1t seems that most of them are always
on the lookout to get out.
This is nature. of course, the famous
about.
We cannot get away from nature, be-
cause we are all part of it.
Birds born in cages. and kept in
cages, nevertheless want to escape from
cages.
House cats, on the other paw, if born
indoors and kept indoors. seem to have
no inkling that they can go out.
Z Often such cat will even refuse to
go-at first.
Evening star., 1951-06-19
BY Charles E. Trocewen

It takes some time to accustom 1t to
the outdoors.
What the escaped canary has as a
veritable part of itself, the cat seems
to have to work up.
We have known cats kept indoors as
much as four years. They did not go
out naturally" as one might say, the
same as bird escapes from house in
which it has been let out of the cage.
The cat had to become used to the
idea Of the outdoors. Hitherto it had
been satisfied with looking out of the
window. It might have seen other cats
in the yard. but evidently it did not
occur to it to think it might join the
others.
Once it makes the acquaintance of
the outdoors, however, it soon learns to
prefer it, and this. too. is natural, for
it is. after all, what may be called an
outdoor animal.
Bright blue birds, and bright red birds.
may turn out to be Gagged birds which
have escaped. After one has watched
birds for some time, sort of instinct
Is acquired. One knows at glance,
almost, If the strange bird is something
that should be there in the yard. If it
eats seed. it is not a fiycatcher of any
kind. Most fycatchers would rather
die than eat seed.
The thing to do, if one sees strange
bird in the yard, is to watch the lost
and found ads, and to do some fast
work on the phone, so that the owner
may have chance to catch it before 1t
flies away anothes 10 miles.

DEHIND cold statistics on school en-
II rollment lies a warm picture OF
human relations that gives an insight
on social changes taking place In all
neighborhoods of the Nations Capital.
But only man who knows the figures
intimately can interpret correctly what
increases and decreases in school enroll
ment actually mean. Such a man is
Boise L. Bristor, statistician for the
Washington public schools. To him each
number on sheet is the story Of vital
occurrence in the life of child.
Take the Georgetown area. What do
statistics on school enrolment show
there?
Western High in 1885 had an enroll
ment of 1859 students. This year 1t was
down to 623. Gordon Junior High
dropped from 1851 In 1885 to 691 this
year. Both are white schools.
Francis Junior High, which serves
colored children in the Georgetown area
as well as part of the downtown North
west area. also shows a drop from 1,044
in 1885 to 925 this year.
In Georgetown, white citizens have
been moving into neighborhoods once
exclusively colored. The colored popu-
lation has gone down an estimated 80
per cent and the total population has
increased Yet no school children ap-
pear on the scene. Why?
Going behind the statistics, the con-
clusion is reached that people in George
town are not poor enough to produce
large families or have already raised
their families. A number Of apartment
houses in the area refuse to rent to
people with children. In addition. two
years ago tuition rates were imposed on
non District residents sending their
children to Western and Gordon, result
ing in Western losing some 200 boys and
girls from nearby Virginia.
There is no large scale home building
in the area. Result: Fewer children
each year from Georgetown.
AS consequence, School Supt. Hobart
M. Corning has stated that no school
construction is needed or contemplated
in the Georgetown area. In fact, the
Corcoran Elementary School recently
closed down for good after enrolment
fell from 200-plus to SO.
Speaking in general terms, DIR. Corn
ing told a House Appropriations sub
committee that the migration of white
District residents to nearby counties has
increased during the past five years and
has been reflected in school enrolment
This year. for the first time, there are
more colored students in the public
schools than white children.
White enrolment is on the decline or
static throughout most of Northwest
Washington. The central section, in the
area of Cardozo High and Mckinley

drives.
was one Of the division chairmen OF
Business Unit II, covering establishments
hiring less than Is employees, including
doctors and dentists in the last Com
munity Chest campaign. became dis
gusted long before finished.
1t is my understanding that all re-
quests for relief which cannot be handled
under rules and regulations of the Chest
are considered by the Board of Public
Welfare. Why could it not handle all
cases and the Chest be abolished?
My recommendation is that action be
taken with view to doing this. If all
charities and enterprises sponsored by
the Chest are worthy ones (and believe
they are), then the funds necessary
should be raised in an easier and more
sensible and economical manner, instead
of carrying out such an extensive, ex-
pensive and bothersome (both to the
solicitors and those solicited) campaign,
and never reach the goal set.
How would the District raise such
funds? BY taxation. of course-by in
creasing, very slightly, the income and
real estate tax rates land let Maryland
and Virginia do the same for their part
state a referendum. and it would be in
teresting to see how it would work out.
