House Approves Changes
In D. {. Credit Unions Act

Senate-passed legislation to
bring the District of Columbia
Credit Unions Act in line with
the Federal Credit Unions Act
was approved unanimously today
by a House District subcommit-
tee.
Subcommittee Chairman Tale,
Republican, of Iowa said his
unit will send to the full COM
mittee for action without amend
ment the bill as passed by the
Senate. This would mean. he
said, that if the House passes it,
the measure will go directly to
the White House.
One section of the bill makes
two of the most important
changes in the District law. It
eliminates the present limitation
of 200 shares in the account of
any one member. It also permits
credit union member to own
shares jointly with any person
designated by him although the
joint owner would have no vote
nor could he obtain loans or
hold Office unless he is within
the field of ownership and is a
qualified member"

Injunction Against FTC
Reinstated in Tire Suit

Injunction proceedings against
the Federal Trade Commission
were ordered reinstated today in
a suit to halt the commission
from limiting the number of
automobile tires which can be
sold by 20 rubber companies to
dealers at a discount.
The U. S. Court of Ap-
peals for the District remand
ed the question to the lower
courts without passing on the
merits of charges by the COM
panies that the Commission rul-
ing threatens them with dam
ages.
The court held that treble
damage suits Stemming from
failure to comply with the FTC
order are realistic potentiali-
ties" The law allows the dis
counts for dealers buying in large
quantities.
The Commission, however, has
authority to limit discounts held
to be discriminatory or likely to
promote a monopoly.

Gas Stations Get
Senate Approval TO

With one amendment, the
Senate yesterday put it's okay
on a House-passed bill to per-

30-year-oId gas stations which
do not conform to later adopted

Massachusetts, avenues NV.

The amendment, offered from
the floor by Chairman Case of
the Senate District Committee,
would require that plans for the
proposed new stations must have
the approval of the National
Capital Planning Commission.
The bill now goes back to the
House for consideration of the
Senate amendment.
Senate passage Of the bill was
blocked on a first test last week
because of a protest by a spokes-
man for the Progressive George

District Committee officials
persisted, however, because the
testimony was that the old sta

pairs being made legally. one

Operators of the stations have
proposed to replace the old
structures with new buildings
suitable to their locations. The

Meat Prices to Continue Rise
As Food Costs Match 81 Hiqh

Meat prices are up and are
going higher.
In the ups and downs of food
prices generally the pressure is
on the up side. The Dun & Brad
street index of wholesale prices
of major foods rose this week to
the highest point since October
16. 1851.
One major food chain backed
up the prediction of higher meat
prices with this data: Prices
quoted for delivery next week
show choice cattle up 61a to, Z
cents pound; calves up Q cents,
lamb 2 to 21a cents and pork
loinS 4 to cents.
Chuck roaSts. advertised at 33
cents a pound this week. were
said to be in for a certain in
crease by 8 to 812 cents a pound
wholesale next week. The price
has huctuated. It was 81 cents
a week ago, 80 cents on Monday.
One dealer pointed out that
Evening star., 1953-07-16

the notice of higher meat prices
came shortly after he had re-
ceived an Agriculture Depart
ment plea to campaign for beef
sales in August and September
to help out the cattlemen. He
said the letter spoke of heavy
marketing of animals due to the
drought in the Southwest.
Chickens are up about 4 cents
a pound. AS other meat prices
go up the retailers say to look
for a sales play on turkeys.
Look also for a price rise in
coffee. Frost damage in Brazil
already has upped the price of
green coffee cents a pound.
Retail prices still are based on
the old wholesale price. When
present stocks are cleared out,
the stores say, the prices will
have to reflect the increase.

.CTC Rate Of Return
Drops 10 4.73 Pei,
Controller Testifies

In the last six months, the
yearly rate of return of Capital
Transit Co. has dropped from
5.35 per cent to 4.73 per cent,
Robert E. Harvey, company con-
troller, testified today.
Mr.. Harvey was on the wit
ness stand for redirect exami-
nation in the District Public
Utilities Commission hearing on
transit's latest request for fare
increases.
Net Income S1.1 Million
Mr.. Harvey declared the COM
pany's net operating income for
the year ending June 80 totaled
$1.1 million. This, he said, re-
f1ected a decline of $27,927 from
the net operating income for the
12-month period ending April 30.
"And things are getting worse
all the time" the controller
asserted.
Under questioning by transit
attorney r. G. Await, Mr.. Harvey
went on to say that the COM
pany's present rate of operating
income is $444,276 under the
amount to which it is entitled
on the basis of an allowed rate
of return Of 6.5 per cent. Figur-
ing on the basis of a per cent
rate of return, the deficiency"
amounts to $569,58
The 6.5 to 7 per cent rate is
the range which the utilities
commission ruled allowable when
Capital Transit won it's last rate
increase last summer.
Cites Rise in Cost of Buses.
Furnishing data requested
from Commission Chairman
Robert E. Mclaughlin, Mr.. Har-
vey testified that the 932 buses
in the Capital Transit fleet as
of last December 81 cost the
company a total Of 1922 million
in purchases spreading from
1884.
The controller reduced these
figures to a cost-per-bus seat
basis. These figures showed that
the cost has gone up from a low
! of $256.78 in 1888 to $411.57 last
year when the company bought
81 of its diversified buses now in
operation.
Capital Transit seeks an in
crease in cash fares to 20 cents
straight. tokens five for 95 cents
and abolition of the weekly pass.

zoners Decide Today
On Parking LOT Amid
Capitol Hill Homes

The District Zoning Adjust
ment Board was to decide today
whether to bow to the protests
of scores of Capitol Hill housing
rehabilitators or permit installa-
tion of l70-car parking lot in
the vicinity.
The controversial site is at
New Jersey avenue and c street
Sc. just east Of the Congress
sional Hotel.
Directors include the families
OF at least Is members Of Con-
gress, who are living in homes
renovated from one time slum
status. much after the fashion
of the New Old Georgetown.
Mrs. Richard Boiling, wife of
the Democratic representative
from Missouri, said she voiced
the protests of Is Congressional
wives. She added that most
congressman in the neighbor-
hood walk to work and have no
need for additional parking
facilities.
Investment Cited.
A retired lawyer, Howe P. Coch-
ran, testified he has sunk $780,
900 into renovating three houses,
including his own, in the area in
the last six years. IF I had
known this lot was going in here
I wouldn't have invested" Mr.
Cochran declared.
The parking lot proponents
a group headed by Richard F.
Hairless. former Democratic Rep
resentative from Arizona-con-
tended the area needs parking
spaces, especially for working
members of Congress. AS a con-
cession, they propose to set aside
so of the ITO parking spaces fol
cost-free use by the legislators.
Mr.. Cochran called this 6
"gimmick." He added: There
are money-making adventures
masquerading as a third leg te
Congress"
Other Pleas Heard.
Other embattled citizens came
before the board to:
l. Oppose a requested 45-cal
parking lot in the $500 block Of
Mckinley street NV, to &C.
commodate patrons of the Con-
necticut avenue shopping centel
just south of Chevy Chase cir
Gle. The alleys behind the cen.
ter even now, declared a neigh
borhood spokesman, are dirty
noisy and congested enough az
it is"
2. Oppose a parking space anc
building addition site asked by
the Fred S. Gichner Iron Works
in the 2400 block of M street
NV. Mrs. Wrenetta w. Watson
who lives at 2441 M, pointed out
that only a four-foot wide pub
lie alley separates her property
from the proposed parking space
which would be surrounded by
a chain fence.
If this is allowed, Mrs. Watson
declared. "the trash men who
carry those big bundles won't
be able to get through the alley
with my trash"
