anything about that, except that
our whole concentration at the

Republicans Hoping
Ito Avoid Third Slate
lin Louisiana Vote
BY the Asseciaied Press

BATON ROUGE, La. Aug. o.
Two Louisiana Republican leaders
said they hope there will be no
third ticket in the November 4
general election.
There has been scattered talk
among Democrats unhappy with
the national party about a third
slate topped by Gen. Eisenhower
and his regular Republican electors
and including Democratic con-
Igressional candidates.
The idea is that Democratic
voters who prefer to vote a
straight ticket" could do so, re-
Ipudiating the Democratic Party
without formally voting Republic
can.
Hopes for G. O. p. Electors.
| John Minor Wisdom, Louisiana's s
10. o. P. national committeeman,
said yesterday that "if any inde-
pendent slate for Gen. Eisenhower
lis set up, I sincerely hope it will
include Republican electors so that
the vote will not be split"
Harrison Bagwell. unsuccessful
g. o. P. candidate for Governor,
said, II don't believe Republicans
would favor a third ticket for
Eisenhower.
"The Republican Party would
lose its identity and the people
of Louisiana would lose an op-
|portunity to express themselves
on a question of great Importance;
that is, the two-party system.
"Such a move, in my opinion,
would be interpreted as an at
tempt to fool the public, seeking
blind allegiance to symbols rather
than to individuals and prin-
lciples."
10 Pledged to Stevenson.
The Democratic State Central
Committee Wednesday swung the
door open for party members who
want to cast their ballots elsewhere.
The committee, however. pledged
its 10 electors and the rooster
symbol to Gov. Stevenson.
In case Of a third ticket, legal
authorities here say the law al
lows the same Republican electors
to be listed under more than one
slate. The ticket can be offered if
Ipetitioned by 1000 voters.
The law also says that the Re-
publican electors, under two
tickets, would receive the COM
bined votes.

Federal Bargaining Hit
By Rail Union President
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. Aug. 20.-A
top official of organized labor last
night struck sharply at what he
termed Government interference
at the bargaining table"
William P. Kennedy, president
OF the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen. said in an address, ''I
hope live to see the day when
we can sit down at table and
bargain with the companies with
out Government interference.

day convention here. Tri-State is
made up of Virginia, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina brother
hoods.
Those men know our prob
lens" Mr.. Kennedy said, referring
to the railroad companies. He
spoke of bargaining "the way it
was before the politicians got hold
of it."
Now" said Mr.. Kennedy, when
we want to get anything done.
We have to go to Washington.

Gas Light Co. Asks
Free Franchise in
Montgomery Merger

The Washington Gas Light Co.,
preparing to consolidate with two
OF its Maryland subsidiaries, yes
terday asked the Montgomery
County Council for 25-year free
franchise, or. at worst, payment
of a nominal fee.
No opposition was voiced by the
public at the hearing. but 'indica-
tlonS were the council may hold
out for a substantial fee closer to
the 100000 a year being asked of
the Potomac Electric Power Co.
The gas company made it clear
that any wrangle over the size of
the fee. however, would not block
the planned merger, but the con-
solidation would be facilitated by
the franchise.
Subsidiary Has Franchise.
The company's subsidiary in
Montgomery County, the WASH
1ngton Gas Light Co. of Maryland,
Inc, has perpetual franchise,
which the firm contends is trans
ferable as part of the proposed
consolidation.
Spokesman for the company
said a formal franchise from the
county for the merged firm would
expedite financing of new capital
to keep pace with increased need
of gas in the rapidly growing area.
The company already has OBJ
tanned formal franchises from
Prince Georges County and all in
corporated towns in the nearby
Maryland area.
Arthur j. Hilland, attorney for
the firm in the county, said the
firms tax bill in Montgomery has
increased from $14,500 in 1881 to-
an estimated 1921 900 in 1853.
Seen as Sufficient.
Mr.. Hilland said he thought the
taxes paid were sufficient compen-
sation for the use Of streets and
roads in the county. He added
that the company's assessment Isl
made by the State Tax Commits
sion, which considers the value of
the franchise in establishing the
value of company property in the
county.
Mr.. Hilland also told the coun-
Gil the county stands to gain some
100000 to $4,000 a year if the
merger is approved by the State
Public Service Commission. The
company now pays a tax on its
stock shares in Prince Georges
County. If the merger goes
through, these taxes will be dis
placed by a personal property tax
IN each county.
Council members asked, again
and again. if the firm feels its
tax payments give privileges to
the use of the streets.
Jurisdiction Questioned.
Mr.. Hilland and Oscar Berry,
attorney for the company, insisted
the firm was assessed on the value
of its franchise. They added the
county really has no jurisdiction
over the subsurface space in the
streets.
In a 14-page brief filled with
the council, the company noted
its taxes approximate the COM
bined taxes of 1,500 average home
owners who may have 4,500 chill
dren in county schools. The COM
pany said it receives no tax re-
ductions because it did not use the
schools.
The council took the franchise
request under advisement. 1t is
now negotiating with Pepco on
renewal of it's franchise, which
was extended from August 9 to
September "a.
