Hearings Recessed
After Strong PIeus
To Keep Transit Pass

The Capital Transit Co. rate in
crease hearing today was in re-
cess until August S.
On that date the District Public
Utilities Commission will present
its data showing whether the
company's petition for fare boosts
is justified. Capital Transit seeks
"a 17-cent straight cash fare, tok-
ems at six for 95 cents and discon-
tinuance of the $2.10 weekly pass.
The three days of hearings in
the last week have been marked
by further calls by citizens for re-
tention of the weekly pass, even
at an increase in its cost.
Heard Amid Examination.
These pleas were sandwiched
amid cross-examination of COM
pany witnesses by PUG Counsel
Lloyd Harrison. The company
completed its direct presentation
of evidence about three weeks ago.
The company has been pound
ling home to the PUG its conten-
ton that a 71a per cent rate of
return is needed on its invest
|ment. That is the base of its pro-
posed increase schedule. Actually,
according to transit officials, the
company is entitled to a 10 per
cent return, but has marked down
that figure "in the public in
|terest."
When the hearing is resumed at
10 am, August S, in the District
Building Offices of the regulatory
body, the PUG staff is expected to
|delve into the possibilities Of con-
tinuing the weekly pass.
At the suggestion of PUG Chair
man James H. Flanagan, the COM
lpany already has submitted SAM
|ple schedules of fares that
contemplate inclusion of the pass.
These schedules call for a pass
costing from $2.25 to SO, with pro-
|portionate increases in token and
cash fares.
One-Man Poll on Pass.
The final citizen-witness yester-
day was Benjamin Cesario, a bar
ber of 437 Ninth street NV. Speak
ling energetically for retention Of
the pass, Mr.. .Cesario said he had
constituted himself sort of one
man Gallup poll by quizzing his
patrons on the subject. He said his
public shares his desire to keep
the pass.
The witness also pronounced
himself "disgusted" with repeated
fare increases land with motormen
who violently step on the brakes. "
Transit Attorney F. G. Await
drew from the barber the admis-
sion that the price of hair cuts has
increased $50 percent in the last
few years. In the same period, he
conceded, transit fares have gone
up So percent.
Nonetheless, the witness added,
if the weekly pass reaches So
weekly, II will walk"

Board Acts 10 Limit
Of Children
In Industrial Home

Because of the slashing of the
Welfare Department budget by
Congress, the Board of Public We'll
fare has decided to limit the num-
ber of children in the Industrial
Home Schools for Colored Chill
dren.
At a meeting yesterday, the
board decided that. throughout the
year. the daily population will be
held to ITO boys and IS girls. To
maintain the limit. boys will be re-
leased from the school earlier than
is customary, and those who are
not responding to the program will
be released because there is no
longer any further treatment the
school can offer.
Release After Three Months.
The Industrial Home School for
Girls, formerly the National Train
ing School for Girls, will release
the girls sent there after three
months, or whenever their parents
can provide satisfactory home
for them.
The board asked Welfare Direc-
tor Gerard M. Shea, to seek con-
ference with Commissioner Renah
F. Camalier to see If any money
can be found that would enable
him to open one of the buildings
not now in use for lack of person.

The board also will try and
merge the Municipal Lodging
House on c street, between John
Marshall place and Sixth street

about half filed.
The lodging house has a ca
pacity of so, and the daily average
population is only 80. The soldiers
and sailors home has a capacity
of IS, and the daily population
is only 81. The population Of the
home is made up Of veterans OF

as a print shop, it is the only
remaining building on the block.
The board also decided to seek
legislation to make relatives Of

trict Training School, who is
leaving the District service on

Wisconsin at a larger salary than
he is receiving here.

Arlington Board
Agrees 10 Rule
On Rent Control
Key to Decision
May Be Survey
Due Next Month

The Arlington County Board
today agreed to act before the
September 80 deadline on a mo-
tion to request reimposition of
rent control.
Board Member Alan L. Dean
said he expects to urge that the
board request Federal action to
bring back control unless a sur
vey to be presented to the board
at the August meeting reveals no
acute shortage of rental housing.
Other board members agreed to
consider the question, but did not
say how they would vote on the
question.
Appears at Meeting.
Mr.. Dean. who has been seri-
ously i'll since February, made a
brief appearance at today's meet
ing. He said he hopes to attend
meetings regularly after a few
weeks.
The board member said rent
control could be reimposed by the
Federal Government under the
Defense Production Act if the
board certifies that there is a
shortage of rental accommoda-
tions. The deadline for the board
to make such a request, he said,
is September 80.

member said, had caused interest
in Arlington. Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties. He cited
survey reported by The Star that
the vacancy rate in recently-built
apartments in the Metropolitan
Area has fallen below / per cent.
Any rate below about S per cent,
Mr.. Dean said, means there is a
substantial shortage of rental
units.
The board held a hearing on
proposed resumption of control
last October but postponed action,
pending the survey.
Eight or nine months of sur
veying is about enough" Mr.. Dean
said.
Mr.. Dean is a nonpartisan.
There are two other nonpartisans
on the board, Chairman Robert
w. Cox and Daniel A. Dugan. The
other two members are Alfred E.
F'risbie, Democrat, and Robert A.

kefauver for BarkIey
And Senator Russell
By Alex R. Preston
Stor Stoff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 26.-Five Mary
land delegates to the national con-
vention abandoned Senator Ke-
fauver just as soon as they felt
they could, before the Democratic
convention nominated Gov. Stew
enson of Illinois.
The break from the Tennessee
Senator came on the second bal
lot when four delegates, each with
one-half vote, cast theif ballots for
Senator Russell of Georgia. and a
fifth voted for Vice President
Barkley.
True to the mandate of last
Mays presidential preference pri-
mary the 36 delegates cast all of the
Free States % votes for Senator
Kefauver on the first go-round.
Senator Kefauver carried the
States primary when his name
was the only one on the ballot
against an "uninstructed delega-
ton"
Break Off From Kefauver.
Yesterdays second ballot break
away from the Tennessean caused
a stir on the floor.

tive Sasscer of Upper Marlboro

porter-asked for a poll Of the
delegation.
First name to be called by the
tally clerk was Senator O'Conor,
who could not come to Chicago as
a delegate because of a heart con-
dition. Voting in his place was
George Hofferbert.
SAtCS VA 1uA0 0uppOEts
Mr.. Hofferbert voted for Senator
Russell.
He explained that he did SO be-
cause Maryland had initiated the
move to seat the Virginia dele
cation on the floor, despite the Old
Dominion's refusal to subscribe
to a loyalty pledge. Backers of
Senator Kefauver had opposed
the seating Of Virginia, as well
as Of the South Carolina and
Louisiana delegations. Mr.. Hoffer-
bert took the position that Mary
lands stand on this question re-
leased them from the commitment
to Senator Kefauver.
George P. Mahoney was the
second to be called. He and
nearly all of those who followed
voted for Senator Kefauver.
William Bishop, veteran secre-
tary of the Maryland Democratic
Party, voted for Vice President
Barkley.
Others Go to Russell.
The others who broke to Sena-
tor Russell were Julius Requard
of Baltimore County; Wilmer
Cronin, former State Senator
from Hartford County. and Mr.,
Baldwin.
Foremer Senator Millard E. Ty-
dings raised a point of order. He
said Maryland was still bound un-
der the unit rule to cast all "a
votes for Senator Kefauver be-
cause the Tennessean had car
ried the preferential primary.
Representative Walter of Penn
sylvania, acting chairman. ruled
that Maryland's vote did not have
to be- cast as q unit. When the
1polls was completed, the vote was
divided exactly as Mr.. Sasscer had
announced 1t earlier.
