Economist Gives
Plea forC.
Rate Increase
Urges Pricing Policy
Sufficient to Provide
Suitable Profit EDGE
, By John w. Stepp

Charges for phone service here
should be high enough to meet in
creased operating costs, an econ
omist told the Public Utilities
Commission today.
Charles Tarbough, the econ
omist, said the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co. and the PUG
should establish a policy that
would allow for a profit margin to
combat imitation.
His testimony for the utility
came as its rate increase case en-
tered the second day Of public
hearing.
Rate Rise Sought.
The company has asked the
PUG to raise the telephone pay
station charge from a nickel to a
dime for local calls and to in
crease residential and business
telephone service charges by 10
per cent in virtually all cate
gories.
This would give the company
an additional $3.5 million in gross
revenues.
Mr.. Terborgh pointed out that
competitive industry has come to
realize that with the increase of
imitation in recent years nominal
book income has become over
stated in company accounts.
To compensate for this, MIR.
Terborgh said, private industry
has adjusted prices to provide
profit margins adequate to meet
costs that are currently incurred
but not reflected in accounts.
This step has been necessary to
prevent economic erosion" of
capital assets. Speaking of regu-
lated non-competitive public util-
ties. Mr.. Terborgh declared, II see
no reason why they should be
denied the protection against this
erosion that unregulated industry
has substantially achieved"
Raise New Capital.
II a realistic pricing policy Is
not adopted, the witness went on.
the utilities will have to offset
this economic erosion by raising
new capital. surely the most
vicious form of deficit financing {"
1T seems to me-" he declared.
that this company, together with
the commission. should aim at a
pricing policy objective comparable
to that of private industry"
In this way, the witness added.
rate policy can give recognition
to the actual needs of the busi-
ness. Such an adjustment for
the effects Of imitation would be
In the interest of not only c. g. P,
but OF sound public policy" as
well.
Under questioning by company
counsel, Mr.. Terborgh said that
he does not expect any significant
decline in price levels over the
long pull"
On the other hand, he pre-
dicted. We are much more likely
to experience further imitation
than to see a significant retreat
from present price levels"

A discrepancy in the number Of
heroin capsules offered by the
Government in evidence after a
raid and the number reported
seized was attacked today by de.
tense counsel in the mass mar.
cotics conspiracy trial in the U. s.
District Court for the District Of
Columbia.
A total Of five capsules had been
identified by Tom Andrew, in
charge Of the Washington field
Office Of the Narcotics Bureau. as
having been seized in a raid last
February q at the home of Joseph
(Peter Rabbit) Smith, 1923 West
Virginia avenue NE.
Under cross examination TODAY
by defense attorney, Joseph Ly-
man, it was brought out that in a
report by Mr.. Andrew following
the raid. only four capsules were
listed.
"How can you account for five
capsules in November with only
four in February?" Mr.. Lyman
demanded.
II cannot account for it." the
witness replied.
Evidence Is Upheld.
Defendants in the mass mar

to suppress certain evidence seized
by Federal and Metropolitan
Police Department raiders at
Smiths home last February 27.

Attorneys T. Emmett Mckenzie
and Albert j. Ahern, jr., argued
that Williams was arrested with
out a warrant when he was not
committing any illegal act. They
asserted the arrest was illegal and
hence any evidence resulting from
that arrest should be suppressed.
Seen as Link in Chain.
All the defendants were affected
by the seized evidence, MIR. Ahern
contended, since it could prove
another link in a chain calcu-
lated to show conspiracy.
But Federal Judge David A.
Pine declared, under the circum-
stances, the officers had ample
probable cause" to arrest all per-
sons present on the grounds of
reasonable belief that the resi-

One of their main functions IS to pro- vide assistance and guidance to the Soil Conservation Service in conservation work.
 The Soil Conservation Service is required by law to assist farm CTS only according to the program as developed with the farmer supervisors of the district Thus you might say that the Soil Con- servation Service is one govern ment agency that is farmer con- trolled.

The supervisors of the Subdistrict are in a position to direct that aSSiS- tance. You landowners west of the Seward Meridian have an op- portunity to vote for the super visors of your choice.

ALASKA RAILROAD ASKS COOPERATION OF VALLEY SHIPPERS

The Alaska Railroad is not getting the cooperation Of Mata- nuska Valley shippers, Colonel ]. p. Johnson. railroad general manager. said today and as a re- suit of the situation, which exists n Anchorage and Fairbanks also, the line is losing money.
 Johnson sald that the railroad has always cooperated with the Valley in all ways possible. It has given them fire fighting appara- tus. lent snow removal equipment and offered low tariffs on farm machinery and produce.
 The railroad general manager .ited examples where number f local business firms are shiping nigh tariff freight via truck lines and air leaving the railroad only low revenue items.
 Whenever there iS an emer- gency in the Matanuska Valley Johnson said, the railroad has endeavored to assist in all ways possible"
 For the past five years the railroad has expended consider able money and planning" John son said. "to provide the railbelt cities with fast and efficient ser vice equipment.
 "A l25 refrigeration and hot cars were purchased to handle perishables, he added, and many of these now remain idle for lack of business. Right now the railroad is losing money sim nlv because we are not getting the cooperation needed to operate in the black"
 He pointed out that the rail road is one of the largest indus tries in the territory today. The collective payroll for all areas IS more than $12,000,000 and local purchases amount to several mil lion in additional expenditures.
 The Alaska Railroad is fully prepared to serve the Matanuska Valley" Johnson said, and 1t IS now just a matter of merchants and contractors utilizing the ser vice at hand"
 There is absolutely no need for a shortage of perlshableS, or any other of life's necessities, Johnson declared, regardless Of whether or not the highways and air lanes are open.
 As a result of rehabilitation .he Alaska Railroad is ready t. offer the best service on wheels. Regardless of conditions, ice snow, floods or slides. the line is maintained l2 months Q year and the railroad delivers the goods.
 Johnson also urged contractors and other big shippers to begin stockpiling materials now while shipping is slack.
 There is no reason why we can't handle all the freight this spring" he said, but it would be easier on everyone concerned ii as many shippers moved thell freight as early as possible. Last summer the railroad carried its largest hauls in history ano everything was delivered in gooc order"
