In MARYLAND Rates
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2S.-The
Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. yesterday asked the
Public Service Commission for
a rate increase.
The company's petition asked
the PSC for a new determine
ton on the fair. value of its
property. 1t specified no exact
amounts, but asked the COM
mission to approve a schedule
of rates which would yield a
fair return on a higher value
determination. The company
serves the Washington suburban
area in Maryland.
The firm cited imitation, large
scale construction work and re-
cent raises in pay to it's employees
among reasons why it should
have higher rates.

'Pickets End 75-Yeor Parade
In Worlds Longest Strike

barmaidS inStead-and business
seemed to prosper.
"Old jim" and the union set
tied down for long siege.
Over the days, months and
years the pickets carrying plac-
ards paced the sidewalk in front
Of the saloon-through World
War II and into the atomic age.
They became a tradition-a
virtual landmark-in Dun Laog-
haire. Thousands of tourists
went out of their way to get a
look.
"Old Jim" bore no bitterness.
And the pickets-paid by the
union-held no hard feelings to-
ward him personally.
Given Holiday Drinks.
Come a holiday-or any duly
festive occasion-"Old Jim" al
ways invited the strikers in for
drink. But good trade union
lists that they were, the pickets
always refused to go inside the
pub. However, they were not
beyond accepting pint of beer
even as they marched outside
carrying their placards protest.
ing "Old Jim" was unfair to Or
ganized labor.
Val Murphy, who had picketed
the place since the strike began,
was the first to offer condolences
to the widow when "Old Jim"
died last May at the age Of 79.
Jim'S widow carried on for a
understanding just as firm as
her husband.
AS she explained: 1.-The bar
maids make better than union
wages and besides the strike
does business no harm at all.
Many's the person comes here
to have a look at our famous
picketS and stays for a drink. F"
The new owner, Neville, finally
made peace with the union on
formally taking over the saloon
last night.
Business was still brisk.
There was singing and drink
ing to mark the end of the
strike.
And the guests were the pickets
themselves-this time inside the
saloon.

it will hurt him with what
Rieve calls the people, is
something else. I don't know
just who the people are. But
there's no question that Ike
took Durkin into the cabinet
for the purpose of making
friends with organized labor.
And, in my opinion, the thing
would have worked if Durkin
had got a square deal. The
changes in the Taft-Hartley
Act that were being agreed to
would not have satisfied labor
completely, supposing Congress
accepted them, and next year
there would have been a GER
tain amount of squawking, but
a lot of the steam would have
been taken out of labor's OPP
position. Fairs that's con-
cerned, suppesing Congress

and Durkin, the feeling toward

DoIes Can Perpetuate
Charity Cases, Panel
On Welfare IsToId

Public welfare grants may
mean the perpetuation of the
very conditions they are de-
signed to relieve.
Raymond M. Hilliard, execu-
tive director of the New York
City Welfare Council, told this
to panel discussing citizen
participation in public welfare
yesterday, as the Northwestern
Regional Conference Of the
American Public Welfare Asso-
citation closed in the Hotel Stat
Ter here.
Welfare workers must seek out
causes of dependency on the
public treasury and try to cor
rect them. instead of merely Civ
ing out money, he said.
One useful thing in this work
is citizen participation, Mr.. Hill
lard said. adding that it is too
seldom used.
He urged the civic participa-
tion not be used as window
dressing" for the professional
welfare worker, but as catalyst
to bring together people who can
handle problems beyond the
ability or the lawful scope of the
agencies.
He cited improvements made
in New York by citizens COM
mittees, but he said the problem
so far has been to take full ad-
vantage Of the tremendous po-
tential that exists in such groups.
However, one newspaper has
greater potential than all the
committees I've talked about, "
Mr.. Hilliard declared.
Mrs. Theodore o. Wedel, men,
ber of the District Public We'll
fare Advisory Council, said the
recent change from an admins
trative Board of Public Welfare
to the advisory council here ap-
peared to be part OF a Nation
wide trend.
A reason for the trend, she
said, might be political appoint
ments of persons not interested
in welfare problems. She said a
better solution than abolition of
the boards might be the appoint
ment of better members.
After her talk, she emphasized
she was not talking about the
Washington setup when she
mentioned political appoint
mentS.
Mrs. David Bazelon, member
of the Jewish Social Service
Agency Board, reviewed her ex-
periences in participating in well
fare work and emphasized that
useful participation is not pos
sible without the help and guild
ance of the professionals.

BERKELEY. Calf, Sept. 26.-
Maj. Gen. William F.. Dean is
asking clemency for the two
Korean civilians accused of SELL
ing him into three years of Com
munist captivity for SIS rewards.
Gen. Dean told newsmen just
before a homecoming celebra-

free the two.

Hydrogen Bomb Use
In War Is Doubted
By Senator Gordon
By the ASsoeioted Press

Senator Gordon, Republican,
of Oregon, a member of the Sen
ate House Atomic Energy Com
mittee. said today he doubts that
the hydrogen bomb ever will be
used in warfare.
IT don't expect to see an H
bomb exploded in my lifetime. "
Senator Gordon told an inter-
viewer. I'm the course of time
you are going to get an agree
ment in that field"
The United States has ad-
vanced a plan in the United Ma
tions for banning atomic weap-
ons. under a rigid system OF
international inspection and
control. But it's approval has
been blocked by Russia, which
has urged A-bomb prohibitions
minus checkups.
Senator Gordon said, however
he thought the Soviet would take
"a second look" if a war appeared
close.
Opposes Vast System.
Reasonable" defense prepara-
tions are necessary. Senator Cor
don said. but he declared there
was no need for embarking on
a vastly enlarged continental de-
fenSe system.
A decision to launch such a
program, it was reported last
night, has been reached by the
National Security Council, the
top strategy-policy group headed
by President Eisenhower.
However, Well-informed sources
said the council believes early
expansion should be on a modest
financial scale. It was not deemed
necessary, they reported, to put
the work on a cash" baSis-that
is, ordered rushed to completion
without regard to expense.
The decision unqueStionably
was spurred by the growing
strength of Russia's air and
atomic power, notably the Soviet
claim of mastery over the hydro
gen bomb.
Optimistic A Materials.
Meanwhile, members of the
Congressional Atomic Energy
Committee reported yesterday on
their return from a one-month
foreign trip that "a substantial
supply" of raw material seems
to be available for future use in
atomic energy development.
The committee spent most of
it's time in the Belgian Congo
and South Africa, a major supply
source of uranium.

lican, of Iowa, chairman Of the

mittee, told newsmen the trip

But don't you think it has

of one mans word against an

There you go, talking about

do know that the labor folks
are really mad. They're prob

Taft always maintained
that he got a big share of the

Junior Units Planned
In Civic Federation S
Fight on Delinquency
A plan to set up organizations

A plan to set up organizations
in which juveniles themselves
can solve the problems of juve-
nile delinquency was presented
last night to the Federation of
Civic Associations.
The education committee Of
the Federation announced that
it has already set up four Junior
Civic Associations where juve-
niles can discuss and work out
solutions to their problems mod
eled after the existing adult or
ganizations. However, the COM
mittee complained about the
lethargy among the civic aSsocia-
tions concerning the new youth
program.
A meeting will be held at 8
pm. Wednesday in the Urban
League Building, 602 K street
NV, to launch a drive to set
up a Junior Civic Association
for every adult association.
The federation also moved to
try to curb juvenile delinquency
by asking for strict enforcement
of the school attendance law,
parental responsibility IN juvenile
cases and a curfew requiring
juveniles to be off the streets by
an early hour.
David Rein, chairman of the
Co-ordinating Committee for
the Enforcement of Anti-Dls-
elimination Laws, said evidence
shows acceptance by District
residents of the Supreme Court
ruling banning segregation in
the restaurants. Mr.. Rein an
nounced the committee will now
attempt to end segregation in
places of amusement, notably
motion-picture theaters.
The federation went on record
as condemning Local 36 of the
FiremenlS Association for "its
undemocratic attitude, boldness
and effrontery against fellow
firemen who are of the colored
race"
The Civil Protection Commit
tee of the federation reported
that "rancor" highlighted racial
discussions at union meetings
and declared that white officers
