ling the total since World War II
to around 500 Million" said Mr..
Vogel. Investment in plant and
equipment amounted to 1888

one and three-quarters times what

has had the problem Of operating
in a period Of imitation. confronted
on the one hand by higher ex-
lpenses and taxes and on the other
by an inadequate level Of earn

problem reached such proportions
in 1852 that. despite all efforts to
meet higher costs without in
creased rates. the company's earn

MIR. Boothby said that two In
creases in the cost Of natural gas.
one of which became effective in
September, 1851. and another In
March. 1852. imposed higher
charges at an annual rate Of more
than So million.
Despite an increase In retail
gas rates Of about II per cent,
which became effective in May
upon authorization by the Public
Utilities Commission, the return
earned for the year will not equal
that which the commission found
to be reasonable" declared Mr..
Boothby.
Third Boost on Way.
"A third increase in the cost Of
our natural gas win become ef-
fective not later than March ..
1858. This increase Is expected
to amount to more than 100000
annually in the District.
I'm order to earn q fair return
to merit the confidence of inves-
tors and continue the high quail
ity Of our service. it has been nee
esSary to ask the commission to
authorize q further increase in
retail gas rates. This request
amounts to about q 4.6 per cent
increase effective in the District
early in 1858.
1.-THE company has spent more
than $25 million on expansion and
improvement of facilities in the
Washington area in the last three
years, including more than $40
million in 1882" he said. 1.-THE
years program was financed in
part by a common stock issue of
around So million and short-term
bank credits Of 81 million.
"Steps were taken in 1852 to
consolidate two wholly owned sub
sidiaries Of Maryland. They were
approved by the Maryland Public
Service Commission and are be-

porate structure and result in i'm

Ex-White House
Employe Refuses
Testify He Is Red

WASHINGTON, Up = A one
time White House employe re-
fused to say whether he had pass
ed secret government documents
to an acknowledged former Soviet
spy courier. He did say he never
engaged in espionage against this
country.
The witness was Julius ]. Jo-
seph Of New York City, an asso-
ciate economist for the National
Resources Planning Board at the
White House in 1910 and 1871,
and member of the wartime Of
flee Of Strategic Services - the
hush-hush OSS-from 1943 thru
mid-1945.
Joseph refused to say whether
he is a Communist. He accused
the Senate Internal Security sub
committee, before which he APP
peared, Of asking him questions
at its public hearing that "are
not American"
He assailed but did not deny the
testimony Of Miss Elizabeth Bent
ley, acknowledged former spy
courier, who had named him as
a member Of a Soviet spy RIG.
Joseph termed Miss Bentley "a
professional witness" which he
defined as one "who commercial
ICES on the general pattern Of fear,
Of hysteria."
He said he never has denied
her testimony under oath, and de-
clined again to say whether she
spoke the truth in telling the sub
committee last year that as a SOL
dier in 1943 Joseph pulled
strings through a friend" and got
himself assigned to OSS.
There, she then said, he served
in ''the hush-hush japanese divi-
sion which was right next to the
Russian division" in order to keep
track Of what this country was
learning about the Communists.
