Transit Faces Dilemma.
Withdrawal of the 4-for-1 stock
splitup plan, writedown in the
par value of present stock or elm
ination of the company's present
surplus are among the alterna-
tives faced by the Capital Transit
Co. as a result Of Public Utili-
ties Commission decision.
The PUG decided to delay ap-
proval of the splitup plan until
the company eliminated a $780,
900 item listed in its assets. The
item, opposed by the commission
for many years, originated in pur-
chase of the Washington &
Georgetown Railroad Co. in 1895
by a predecessor of Capital
Transit.
A company spokesman said last
night that a write-down in par
value to $50 would cut par value
under a 4-for-1 split to $40 in
stead of the contemplated $25
and probably would require an
other vote by stockholders who
previously approved the splitup.
Present surplus about equals the
questioned item and could be
used to wipe it out. Directors
will meet Thursday, January 18.

Stock Prices Decline
Al Close 10 Fraction
Below 195O-51 Highs
By Roder Wineet
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Substan.
tial progress was made this week
In the stock market despite a de-
cline today that cut average prices
a notch below their 1950-51 high
In three days out of five the
market advanced and added some
thing like SIG billion to the quoted
value of all securities listed on the
New York Stock Exchange.
Advancing stocks had to hurdle
one barrier after another-bar-
riers erected by the Korean war
itself and by controls and restric-
tions growing out of the war.
In the race ahead there was one
compelling whip. That whip was
imitation. The economic evidence
pointed to higher prices now and
still higher prices to come. Those
advancing prices mean swollen in
comes and bigger profits in terms
Of dollars even though those dol
lars are now and will be worth
less in purchasing power than a
year ago.
Production Mounting.
Production, either for civilians
or for the war effort, also is set
ting a hot pace, and that means
profits.
Steel production facilities are
ready for a huge expansion, the
Government has plans for more
home building for defense work.
ers, Department store sales are
booming even though there are
cutbacks being announced daily in
the production of such hard goods
as refrigerators and other appli-
ances made of strategic materials.
Some of those cutbacks brought
on unemployment, a few score
here, a few hundred there. Such
joblessneSs was anticipated as the
economy swings from supporting
hot war to preparations for a
hotter war.
Prices themselves held rapt at
tention. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported wholesale prices
up to a new all-time high during
the week ended January 2. The
index stood at 1857 per cent of
the 1926 average. Very soon those
wholesale prices will take more
money out of the consumers
pocketbook when he walks into
the retail store.
Controls Discussed.
Various administration chiefs in
Washington talk about price con-
troll, and there were plans dis
cusSed for imposing a 30-day price
freeze as temporary stopgap
until better plans could be devised
to halt imitation. Mr.. Truman
himself said price and wage con-
trolls across the board eventually
would be needed. Businessmen
would like to see both prices and
wages under controls, but not one
without the other.
Just holding prices isn't the
only problem. More than 100 ma
jor railroads in the East, West and
South plan to seek a 6 per cent
increase in freight rates that
would bring them an unofficially
estimated $500 million additional
revenue annually.
The Associated Press average of
so stocks declined 20 cents to
$3.50. The peak of the average
the previous day was 500, the oest
level in more than 20 years.
Of the 10 most active issues, S
advanced, 4 declined and / was

even balance in the market, al

Free Russian Radio
Calls for Revolution
By the Associo.ed Press

LONDON, Mar. 16.-Broadcasts
supposed to be coming from "free.
Russian radio" and calling on
Russians to revolt against Com
munism, have been picked up by
the London listening post of the
Reuter- News Agency here.
The broadcast appeals to do
away with "the criminal Stain
clique" were first heard WedneS-
day. The location of the station is
unknown here.
The broadcasts have been IN
Russian and Ukranian. At times
they have been jammed out COM
pletely by another station sending
out strong continuous noise.
The call for an Communist
revolution was made by the RUS
sian Revolutionary Committee"
which urged its listeners to form
underground organizations.
"The Bolshevik regime is al
ready shaking" the radio said.
Listeners were urged to write the
three letters. N. T. S., meaning
death to the tyrants," on the
walls of factories, schools and coll

Five Republican woman mem
bers carried grocery baskets to
the floor of the House yesterday
to bemoan the high cost of food
and Federal income taxes.
They timed their demonstra-
ton to coincide with the dead
line for income tax payments to
the Government.
"This is income tax day." said
Mrs. Francis Bolton, Republican,
of Ohio. 1T tries all our souls"
She was joined by Mrs. Mar
guerite Church, Republican. of
Illinois, who lugged basket
stacked with food to show what
a SIS bill bought back in 1919.
Still bigger grocery baskets were
paraded before the assembled
House by Mrs. Cecil M. Harden,
Republican, of Indiana and Miss
Ruth Thompson, Republican. of
Michigan. Mrs. Harden's basket
was IS worth at 1929 prices and
Miss Thompson's a sawbuck' S
worth at 1889 prices.
Then Mrs. Katherine st. George,
Republican, of New York tripped
lightly forward with a SIS grocery
basket at 1851 prices, having nc
trouble carrying it.
Summing up for the group. Mrs
st. George said that wild spend

The President refused to say
that the press had been abusing
him-but it seemed there was a
tinge of sarcasm in his statement
that the press has been kind to
him.
The President said his admin
istration had worked for peace
since the U. N charter was signed
in San Francisco in 1945.
When the questioning on the
RFC started, the President refused
to be drawn into any discussion
either of Mrs. Young of mink-coat
prominence. or Mr.. Dawson, who
has been linked with talk of "in-
f1uence" in the negotiation of RFC
loans. He said the fact that Mr..
Dawson had not come down here
yet did not mean that he wouldn t
join the other members of the
White House staff who are on the
scene. And he had no comment
on the appearance or non-ap-
pearance" of Mr.. Dawson before
the Senate investigators. Nor
would he comment when pressed
about Senate testimony to the ef-
feet that Mr.. Dawson was a guest
at the Saxony Hotel in Miami, an
RFC client.
A question about Senator Muir
ray, Democrat, of Montana inter-
esting himself in a sons case be-
fore the RFC also drew a blank.
When a reporter recalled that
Senator Knowland, Republican, of
California had asserted that the
President should come home and

pie around him are honorable.

Bonn Gets SIS Billion Bill
For Occupation, Defense
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, Mar.
16.-The West German govern
ment today was handed a bill
for $685., 900, 900 marks (about ST.
569, ,000, ,000). as it's share Of the
Allied occupation costs and de-
fense expenditure for the next
fiscal year.
This is an increase of about 81
per cent over the charge for the
current year.
The bill presents only 6.3 per
cent of the estimated West Ger
man gross national production.
Thus. the West German a.
nancial eort involved is less than
that which is being made by the
other Western nations for the
defense of Europe" the Allied
High Commission said in its letter
to the West German chancellor
announcing the charge. The
United States, it said, is spending
1877 per cent of its national in

Most of the new Federal en-
ployes hired since the Korean war
broke out are from the Metro

This was indicated in a check
of Federal hiring, which entailed
in many cases a Icard-by-card

Most Of the employees hired
since last June went to defense
agencies, the Civil Service Com
mission reported. The Army OBJ
tanned 1856 of them, of which
about rs per cent were local.

The Navy, which obtained the
greatest share of new employees
about 10,000-completed a card
by-card individual survey to find
that 548 per cent of the new
workers came from outside the
Metropolitan Area.
The Air Force reported that a
spot check of its 2,867 new en-
ployes showed that about IS per
cent were local people.
The Atomic Energy Commission
reported that, of 78 new employees
hired in the last three months. IS
were from the District area.

Civil Service officials pointed out
that eventually the potential hir-
ing pool of District residents may.
be exhausted and out-of -towners

.Vinson 10 Ask House
To Start Draft Debate
After Easter Recess
By GEORGE Beveridqe

Chairman VinSon of the House
Armed Services Committee today
will ask the Rules Committee to
set April 3 for the start of House
debate on a draft bill to reduce
the induction age to 1872 years.
After four days of closed-session
argument, the Vinson committee
yesterday approved its draft bill,
80 to 3. The measure, which
would extend draft service from
81 to 26 months, also proposes
that a permanent universal mill
tary training program to set up
in the future, when youths no
longer are needed for service.
To Follow Easier Recess.
Mr.. Vinson said he would ask
for three days of general debate
on the bill, to begin the day after
the House returns from its Easter
recess. After House action, lead
ers will have to take the draft
provisions to a conference in order
to resolve sharp differences with
a draft bill already passed by
the Senate.
BY a vote of 81 to IL, the House
committee approved contro-
versial amendment which would
allow draftees to say whether they
want to serve in segregated or
non-segregated units.
Sponsored by Representative
Winstead. Democrat, of Mississip-
pi-and contrary to administra-
tion demands that segregation be
wiped out in the armed forces
this provision would allow draftees
to state their preference in writ
ing at the time they register
The military then would be Or
dered to honor the requests ''inso-
far as military necessity may per-
nit"
Great Victory" for South.
Mr.. Winstead said that, even
though the military could disre-
gard some OF the preferences
stated, the action sis one of the
South's greatest victories"
In other highlights, the House
committee wiped out a proposal
to impose a 4-million- man strength
ceiling on the armed forces, but
provided a three-year time limit
on the authority to draft men.
The Senate bill calls for the
strength ceiling. but has no time
limit on life of the act.
Another far-reaching provision
of the House bill would force the
Pentagon to release after IL
months Of service all World War
II veterans who are ordered invol-
unfairly back into uniform as in
active Reservists.
