Pepco Rejects Plan
Of Montgomery for
in County
Firm Contends It Holds
Perpetual Franchise;
Council Action Protested
The Potomac Electric Power CO

The Potomac Electric Power Co.
today rejected a Montgomery
County plan for continuation of
its operation in the county.
The utility company told the
council today that it holds a per-
Ipetual right to operate in the
county and will not accept the
ordinance adopted by the Mont
gomery County Council last
month.
Pepco's former 25-year fran
chise expired last August and the
ordinance was designed for re-
newal of the company's operation.
The fee asked by the council for
renewal is $81, ,727 a year, based
on the power company's use of
roads in the county.
The company said it was reject
ing the measure because the or0i-
nance is not a franchise, but
merely a revocable permit be-
cause the county reserves to itself
the full and complete power to
alter, amend or repeal the ordi-
nance at any time"
Could Increase Charges.
Second, the company contended
that while the ordinance calls for
an initial -- fee of $81,727, plus
taxes. the measure provides that
after five years the county could
charge any amount it desired and
Pepco would have to pay it.
Another reason for rejection
cited by the company was that
Pepco would have to place it's lines
underground in any business, COM
|mercial or industrial area, or in
any densely populated residential
area whenever the county should
order it.
The County Council was notified
of the action in letter from r.
Roy Dunn, Pepco president.
At the same time, the utility
agency announced it had applied
today to the Maryland Public
Service Commission for approval
'of perpetual franchise which the
company claims it possesses to
Operate in Montgomery County.
The company told the council
that the perpetual franchise was
one which had been granted by
the Maryland Legislature to the
Great Falls Power Co., a predeces-
sor. Pepco said it acquired the
Great Falls Co.'s right in 1947.
Operating Under Franchise.
The Pepco letter disclosed that
since the firms discovery of the
perpetual franchise it has been
conducting its operations based on
that franchise. Mr.. Dunn's letter
in part. declared:
"You are hereby advised that
acting in reliance on our posses
sion of said perpetual franchise
we will not accept, and do hereby
irrevocably reject, said ordinance
adopted by you on September Is

Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky sat
in front-row seats as the retiring
Assembly president, Luis Padilla
Nervo of Mexico, banged the gavel.
The leaders of the opposing free
world and Communist blocs did
not greet one another as they
entered the $12.5 million hall
where they will clash during the
next few weeks on such subjects as
Korea, disarmament, Germany.
Austria and independence for CO.
lonial countries.
The assembly elected Canadian
Foreign Secretary Lester B. Pear
son to preside over critical de-
bates.
The new president got 81 votes
in the secret balloting and Mrs.
v. L. Pandit of India four. There
were five abstentions-probably
the Soviet bloc.
Deplores War Activities.
Retiring President Padilla Nervo
said the possibilities of peace are
darker than at any time since the
war. He deplored that "all &C
tivities are directed by the fear of
a future war and, in this atmos-
phere. there are few who dare to
talk about agreement and con-
ciliation."
Because of this, the Mexican
diplomat declared, 1T is more ur-
gent to assert that our function
particularly the function of the
small and middle powers-is a
function Of conciliation, which we
must insist on undertaking right
now, before it is too late"
He sadly remarked that the
question Of Korea-expected to
dominate Assembly proceedings
is now again being debated with
guns"
Mayor Vincent r. Impellitteri of
New York, greeting the delegates
from the black marble and pale
wood rostrum, admitted the "orig-
inal optimism and even perhaps
some of the good will" which
hailed the U. N. seven years ago

knocked the Reds off two knobs
of Triangle Hill, north of Kum-
hwa. Two miles to the east they
swept over a portion of Sniper
Ridge. Both hills are about 1900
feet high.
The initial charge carried the
attack force to the crest Of Tri-
angle, but the Chinese regrouped
and regained the crest.
After trying to scramble back
up the sharp shale-covered slope,
the United Nations soldiers aban-
doned their frontal attack. They
began working their way across
the nearby hill saddle for a thrust
from the east.
A frontline officer said the
Triangle is "a very difficult hill
to climb, let alone assault"
Strong Outpost Positions.
An estimated Chinese battalion
held the crest of Triangle and
rolled hand grenades and rocks
down the slope. Front reports
said Red resistance on Sniper
Ridge was considerably lighter.
The twin peaks anchor the
eastern base of the old Communist
iron triangle supply and troop
massing area. A United States 9th
Army officer described them as
"very strong outpost positions out
side the normal Chinese main line
of resistance" He emphasized they

About II miles to the west.
South Korean soldiers pushed
ahead doggedly in an attack to
drive Chinese Communists from
their last foothold on White
Horse Hill. The Reds held des-
perately onto two low knobs on
the northwest ridgeline.
The fighting on White Horse has
ragged for eight days and has cost
the Chinese an estimated 10000
casualties.
Allied warplanes bombed the
Chinese along the battleline.
