Capital 1ransit's
Right 10 Melon
House Group to Open
Full Investigation of
Corrier This Week

Commissioner r. Joseph Dono-
hue last night defended Capital
Transit Co. majority stockholders,
saying they found a luscious
melon" when they obtained con-
troll two years ago and legally
were entitled to cut it.
Mr.. Donohue voiced that
opinion as criticism of the transit
|company's policies mounted. A
full l-fedged investigation of the
transit situation loomed in the
House District Committee,
scheduled to take up the matter
on Wednesday.
Reminded on his weekly radio
broadcast over station WWDC
that the North American Co. had
been trying to sell its interest in
Capital Transit for two years be-
fore control was acquired by Louis
E. Wolfson and his Florida as
sociates. Mr.. Donohue COM
mented:

"Saw Opportunity"
Anybody who had seen the bal
ance sheet Of the company would
have realized Immediately that
they could get back the purchase
price and better from the surplus
fund.-" he declared. "Mr. Wolfson
lis a great deal smarter than our
people. He saw the opportunity
and took advantage of it."
Developments in the transit
controversy came to a head last
week when j. A. B. Broadwater.
president of Capital Transit, said
that if the company was not to
be allowed a profit of rs per cent
on its investment, it should be
given the opportunity to sell out
to the city.
Later in the week, directors of
the company raised the quarterly
dividend from Is to IS cents.
placing the annual dividend on a
81 40 basis rather than the pre-
vious 81. Last month, a special
dividend Of $3.50 had been voted
and paid from the surplus fund
|of the company-the "melon"
amounting to some $2.5 million.
Mr.. Donohue said he felt the
employees Of the transit COMPANY

Bid 10 Russian
By baltimore
Professors Letter
Asked Writer FOR
Recognizable Line
By Robert K. Welsh

The Senate Internal Security
subcommittee yesterday disclosed
a letter In which Owen baltimore
once invited a Russian to write
regularly for the Institute of Pa
cif1c Relations publication and
thus help create a recognizable
line of thought"
Mr.. baltimore heatedly remon-
strated when several subcommit-
tee members described it as an
effort to run the Communist
Party line in the IPR magazine
Pacific Affairs, which he edited
from 1884 to 1941 as an IPR
trustee.
Evidence of another invitation
came out in questioning of Mr..
baltimore, Johns Hopkins Uni
versity professor and former oc-
caSional Far Eastern affairs
conSultant to the State Depart
ment. He admitted that as a
gesture" Of confidence he invited
Alger Hiss to stay at his home
while in Baltimore to map out a
libel suit against Whitaker
Chambers in the fall Of 1948.
Currie Move Disclosed.
In still another disclosure, the
subcommittee recorded recent
secret session testimony that
Lauchlin Currie recommended to
the late President Roosevelt that
Mr.. baltimore be named an ad-
wiser to Chang Kai-shek in 1941.
The subcommittee, in its search
for any evidence that United
States foreign policy was inf1u-
enced by Communists, has numer-
Gus other documents on which it
plans to continue questioning
Mr.. baltimore tomorrow. Sub
committee Counsel Robert Morris
said I'VE are still closer to the be-
ginning than to the end" Of the
mass Of records of IPR as well as
recorded remarks Of Mr.. Latti-
more on previous occasions.
QuestionerS have not yet dis
closed how the often isolated
items. such as repeated references
to Hiss, might be tied in. The
method Of questioning yesterday
indicated the subcommittee be-
lieves 1t might catch Mr.. Latti-
more In contradictions. Queries
dealt increasingly with what he
already has testified, In defend
ing IPR and defending himself
against charges Of pro-Commu-
mist activities, as compared with
comments in IPR papers seized
last year in a Massachusetts, barn.
Letter Identified.
Mr.. baltimore identified the
copy Of letter he wrote in June,
1887. to v. E. Motylev, then head
Of IPR's council in Moscow. The
Soviets subsequently pulled out Of
1PR, a private organization which
had councils in various other
countries.
Describing his editorial troubles,
Mr.. Lattimore's letter said the
magazine needed better conference
in its presentation of articles. He
suggested to Motylev that eff
could have from you an article
in each number and If these ar
ticleS were planned to succeed
each other in such a manner as
to create a recognizable line of
thought, it would be much easier
to get other contributors to con-
verge on this"
Mr.. baltimore denied to the
subcommittee that this meant he

staff as well as the $50 students.
It appears that o large pro-
portion Of the $4,000 goes into
repairs and alterations to the old
buildings, for the records show
the Army has taken particular
delight in changing old Carlisle
into a real show place.
Generally, when an installation
requires so much reconstruction
to fit 1t for its mission, the serv-
ice goes to Congress to ask ap-
preparations for the specific pur-
pose. But at Carlisle this has not
been done.
Officers Club is Example.
Perhaps the officers club Is
the outstanding example of ex-
penditures which have run the
operating costs to such astro-
nomical proportions as to raise
the Pentagon's ire, a visit to Car
Isle revealed.
It's been a slow and lahorious
process to convert the once un-
pretentious club into a fancy
shiny structure of which every
soldier-including the comman-
dant. 1t. Gen. Edward M. Almond
can be proud.
Alteration of the club began
soon after the college moved to
Carlisle from Fort Leavenworth

Sheep Hunters
 Sf0rf Climbing fhe Hills Next Wednesday

The dawn of Wednesday morn ing, August 20, will find many local sportsmen clambering up steep and rocky mountain slopes in quest of the favorite of trophy animals, the Dall mountain sheep.
 Each hunter must have a per init from the Fish and Wildlife Service, and, successful or not, he must make a report. The sue cessful must give information re- garding the size of the animal and where it was taken. This data on the kill is helpful to FWS con- servationists in estimating sheep population in any given area and is the basis for future regulations aimed at survival of the fleet footed animals.
 No permits are being issued this year for hunting in that portion of the Chugach Range draining into Knik and Turnagain Arms between and including Eagle River and Twenty-Mile River. As in past years, the hunter is limited
 0 one mature ram with three fourths curl of horn or larger.
 FWS announced early this week that 253 permits to hunt sheep had been issued so far. Ap- plications for permits are being accepted until the first day of the season, August 20. The season lasts through August 31.
