A grin, frightened down by
rigors of malnutrition and ill

for her, but she understood. She
had ridden all night to meet
him after a phone call yesterday
afternoon.
First to Return Here.
Corpl. Wiseman of Ronceverte,

With II other repatriates, in

Loss Of Clients
OF Extension
Phones Seen
5 Per Cent Drop
Expected as Rates
Rise, c. & P. Says

The proposal to increase the
monthly fee charged for each
extension telephone in Offices
and homes probably will result
in a S per cent decrease in the
use of extensions, a Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. Off
cial said today.
This estimate was made be-
fore the Public Utilities Com
mission by Harold D. Fangboner,
general commercial manager of
the company.
The commission held a brief
hearing today to wind up de-
tails of the increase in tele-
phone rates which it has au-
thorized. The rates will go into
effect, probably within several
weeks, after the commission
completes its consideration.
10 Cents for Pay Phones.
Last week the commission told
the telephone company it could
increase its rates enough to bring
in $1.3 million year increase
In gross revenues. The cost of
pay telephone call will go from
S cents to 10 cents under the
order.
The increase in public calls
will produce additional gross
revenues of $1,O32, 900, leaving
approximately $268. 900 to be OBJ
tanned from other classes of tele-
phone service.
The company decided to make
up this difference by increasing
the fiat fee for extension tele-
phones. There are approxi-
mately $4,000 extensions in the
District, including those off Gov
ernment and business SWITCH
boards.
Expect Government Cuts.
Mr.. Fangboner said there al
ready had been a reduction in
the number of extensions in use
in Government offices. He said
the economy drive in the Gov
ernment undoubtedly would re-
suit in further reductions.
He added there had been a
slight increase in the number of
extensions used in private busi-
ness firms.
Lloyd B. Harrison, attorney
for the commission, said the
commission staff had studied the
telephone company's proposal
and found it a satisfactory way
to raise the additional income
above that to be produced by
the increase in pay telephone
calls.
The telephone company has
expressed dissatisfaction with
the amount of the increase al
lowed by the commission. The
company sought to increase its
gross revenues by $3.5 million
a year.
