Net Earnings Drop Of

By Donald B. HodIey

Capital Transit Co. net income
for the first six months of this
year was AZ per cent below a year
ago and below levels required to
support common dividends OF
81 40 a share annually. ..
The net of $536.125 contrasted
with 1928 ,069 a year earlier.
| In it's monthly report today to the
Public Utilities Commission, the
company again emphasized that
the 10-cent increase in the weekly
pass earlier in the year 'has failed
by a substantial amount, to offset
| increases in wages, taxes and other
costs which were incurred during
the past year"
Net income for June was $123,-
SOB. a drop of 25.3 per cent from
l$165,150 in June. 1851.
Decrease 0.9 Per Cent.
Operating revenues for the six
months amounted to $14,434.695
a decrease Of O.9 per cent from
$14,569,01O a year earlier. the
company reported. Operating ex-
Ipenses of $11.335,704 were 8.5
Iper cent above $10,445, $50 in the
same 1851 period.
Operating revenues for June
totaled $2,360,120. a decrease of
80 per cent from $2,438,433 in
June. 1851, but operating expenses
of $1,845,501 were 60 per cent
above $1,737,920 a year earlier.
The six months net income of
only $536,125 contrasts with divi-
dend and bond interest require
ments of $1,6O4,OOO for the full
year or $802, 900 for the half year.
Company officials recently
pointed out that common divi-
dends on the 100000 common
shares would amount to 1884,
600 in a year while bond interest
would require $260,000.
Deplored Inadequacy.
At the end of February, II
weeks after the company re-
ceived a fare increase of 10 cents
on the weekly pass, company Of
ficials deplored the "inadequacy"
of the increase. Nevertheless, di-
rectors voted to increase the COM
mon dividend rate from 81 a
year to $1.40 a year, or from 25
cents a quarter to IS cents a
quarter.
The new dividend was equivalent
to $3.50 a share on old stock.
which was split four for one last
October. When the present con-
trolling group acquired the COM
pany in September. 1949, only
81 a share was paid on the old
stock. This rate later was doubled

I STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 81.
Six Swedish Communists were
convicted of selling vital defense
secrets to Russia today and two
were sentenced to life imprison-
ment at hard labor. A seventh
was acquitted.
The Swedish government
charged them with turning over
to the Russians full details of
their country's northern defenses
against any Russian attack across
neighboring Finland.
Fritiof Enbom, 33-year-old con-
tessed master mind of the Soviet
spy ring. and his chief accom-
Iplice. Jugo Gjersvold, both drew
life terms at hard labor. The
lringleader's younger brother, Mar

The seventh accused member of
the ring, acquitted for lack of
proof, was Tage Wickstrom, 81, a
clerk in the army fortification con-
struction bureau.
The Enbom brothers and Giers-
void confessed. The elder Enbom,
an editor and agitator. said he
had collected military and in

over to Soviet Embassy officials in
return for cash.
He admitted giving the Soviets
data on Sweden's strongest mod
ern fortress, near Boden, IS miles
from the Finnish border. Other
information collected included
maps Of secret military roads

Russia. Rejects Protest.
The Swedish Foreign Office
sent a sharp protest last month
to Russia charging that officials
of the Soviet embassy in Stock
holm had worked with Swedish
citizens in spying against this
country. The note bluntly told
the Soviets to stop espionage
activities in Sweden. Russia re-
jected the note declaring that its
embassy here had no connection
with the Swedish spy ring. She
added that the charges were in
lventions aimed at deteriorating
friendly relations between Russia
and Sweden.
The protest coincided with an
other sharp exchange of notes
in which Sweden accused Rus
sian jet fighters Of shooting down
two unarmed Swedish planes
within two weeks over interna-
tional waters of the Baltic. Rus
sia rejected that protest as we'll,
adding a warning that any for
eign plane caught straying over
Soviet territory would be driven
