Grams Hospital have performed
a difficult heart operation on an
Alexandria resident.
The patient, Stanley Leith, %,
of 1873 Lynwood street, Alexan-
dria, had suffered attacks of
rheumatic fever in childhood.
The aorta, main artery leading
out of the heart, was CONSTRUCTED
and caused the heart to work
overtime in pumping blood
through the narrow passage.
The surgeons cut into the
chest and after severing the con-
stricted portion of the artery at
both ends, tied the two loose
ends together. Blood could then
pass freely.
The operation was performed
last week. Mr.. Leith, a heart
patient for 20 years, is in salts
factory condition at the hospital.
The operation, barring complica-
tions. has given him a chance. to
lead a normal life.

Decline Seen in Spread
Of Dutch Elm Disease

Dutch elm disease seems less
a threat this summer than it
has been in the past few years,
according to National Capital
Parks Supt. Edward j. Kelly.
A cooperative program be-
tween the National Capital Parks
and the District government
started in July, 1851, seems to
have slowed the spread of the
tree disease.
Mr.. Kelly reported 1853 cases
in Washington up to July IT.
This compares with 209 cases
up to the same time in 1852.
The number of infected trees
spread from 18 in 1948 to 470
in 1851, the peak year.

ct-Finding Board
In Transit Dispute
Studies Pension Data
BY Froncis P. Douglas

Sources of information on
pensions and other data were
being canvassed today by the
fact finding board in the Capt.
tai Transit Co. dispute to deter
mine whether adequate informa-
ton is available to carry out the
boards assignment.
The boards task is to ascer-
tain the facts and to make rec
concentrations in the dispute be-
tween the company and it's union
workers over the unions de-
mands for improved pensions.
The board, headed by Vice
Admiral Oswald S. Colclough,
U. S. N, retired, said the pre-
sumtion is the board will go
ahead with hearings tomorrow.
But, it was added, the board
wants to satisfy itself it can do
a thorough job.
Company Boycott.
Doing a thorough job is comp
licated by the transit company's
determination not to have any,
thing to DO with the fact-f1nding
procedure.
Thomas w. Holland, board
member, said the board is try
ing to lean over backwards" to
get the company's position ade-
quately presented.
John j. Corson, third member
of the board, listed these agen-
cies as the ones to be consulted
to find out if they can furnish
information in lieu of its being
obtained from the company
itself:
The actuarial staff of the So
cial Security Administration, for
data on pensions.
The Public Utilities Commits
sion, to which Capital Transit
has to make reports, for data on
it's financial condition.
The Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics, which assemblies and ana
lyzes data on pension plans.
The office of the Solicitor of
the Labor Department, to learn
if language comparable to that
in the pension contract between
Capital Transit and the union is
contained in other pension con-
tracts.
Arbitration Dispute.
The District Corporation
Counsel. Presumably this Office
and that of the Labor Depart
ment's solicitor might be asked
for opinions on whether the
Capital Transit pension contract
provides for arbitration of the
current dispute. The union says
it does; the company, that it
does not.
The American Transit AsSo-
citation, for information on pen
sion plans of other transit COM
panies.
The union, which announced
yesterday its readiness to present
it's case to the board, is repre-
sented by o. D. zimring of Chi
cago and Bernard Cushman of
Washington, attorneys, who are
members of the Labor Bureau
of the Middle West. That or
ganization represents the Wash
ington division and many other
divisions of the Amalgamated
Association of Street. Electric
