Discrimination
In Most Jobs
Fire-Fiehting Units
Not Included Now
In New Order
BY John w. Stepp

The Commissioners today or
dered policy of racial nom
discrimination to go into effect
Immediately in most of the
Government departments over
which they exercise control.
A notable exception in the
coverage of the order is the fire.
fighting division of the Fire De-
partment. Racial integration Of
the city's fire. fighting companies
long has been a controversial
subject which the Commissioners
chose to sidestep again today. -.
Listing the department as an
exception. the order stated that
racial integration of the fire
fighters will be undertaken "as
soon as the Commissioners deem
the public interest will permit"
mot Quite Ready"
Commissioner Samuel Spen-
Ger explained that this wording
means that the city heads feel
the fire department "is not quite
ready for integration."
1t is his hope, however. he
said, that sin a relatively short
period we may develop an at
mosphere favorable to carrying
out a non-segregation policy"
Mr.. Spencer said that along
this line Fire Chief Millard H.
Sutton plans to bring in some
"integration experts" to talk
with the f1remen on the subject
of non-segregation. At present
there are five companies manned
by Negroes of a total of A COM
panieS.
While the firefighting division
is exempted from the order.
administration and inspection
services of the department will
be included.
Must Be Based on Merit.
The policy declaration calls
for all city government officials
and employees to base personnel
actions "Solely on merit and fit
ness without regard to race. re-
ligion, color, ancestry or national
origin" The order defines per-
sonnel actions as covering ap-
pointments, promotions, diSmiS-
sails, performance rating and
training.
The order also requires Dis
trict officials to act without re-
gard to race, religion or ancestry
lin all matters relating to the
use and enjoyment of any public
facility, accommodation, service,
or treatment subject to his con-
troll. :"
The Commissioners order does
not touch on either the school
system or the recreation system
since those agencies operate in-
dependently, except for budg-
etary control, of the city heads.
Grievance Action Provided.
The order also sets up griev-
ance procedure under which
complaints of discrimination may
be filed within 10 days of the
violation.
Other specific exceptions to the
coverage of the order are the
employees and the officials OF
the Industrial Home School for
Colored Children, and the school
for white children, since the 1854
Appropriation Act requires seq
reeation of the home school in
mates.
Also exempted Sare the District
Training School at Laurel, Md;
the Home for Aged and Infirm
and the Jail division. The order,
however, instructed these in
StitutionS to procede with
present partial integration pro-
grams in such way as to
achieve complete racial integra-
tion lin the shortest possible
time"

Transit's Net Income
Cut 24b in October
And 11oo in 1OMonths
Big Deficit Raises
Question of Continuing
Present Dividends
By Donald B. HodIey

Net income of Capital Transit
Co. in October slumped 24.4 per
cent below a year ago. while
earnings for 10 months this year
were down Ill per cent, the
company reported today.
The severe decrease in profits
indicated that net income for
1858 will be below $950,OOO and
may fail by more than 1886. 900
to meet dividend requirements
of $1,536,000.
1t also raised the question as
to how long the company can
continue the - present dividend
rate of $1.60 a share without
dragging its earned surplus be-
low the limit of $3,1OO,OOO re-
quired under the bond indenture.
Will Cut Dividend Fund.
After declaring regular 1852
dividends of $1.40 a share or a
total of $1,344,000, plus a special
dividend ofs$2.50 a share or So
100000 early in the year, the
company's surplus at the end of
1852 stood at $3,325. .656, of which
$3.1 million was restricted as to
dividends.
II the indicated deficit for 1853
reaches $586,000, the amount of
earned surplus available for fur
ther dividends will sink to $139.-
656.
This would not leave much
room for another deficit in 1854
and indicates that unless the
company obtains more income.
the dividend rate will have to
come down to preserve the
earned surplus required for pro-
lection of the bond holders.
Expenses Also Cut.
October net income was $1O7,-
481, a drop of 24.4 per cent from
142,176 year earlier. Operating
revenues of $2,411. .6O1 were down
81 per cent. while operating
expenses of $1,928,67O were off
"a per cent.
Net income for 10 months this
year was $776,036, decline of
Ill per cent from $872,799
year earlier. If the same decline
holds for November and De-
cember, the years net would be
$942,041.
Ten months operating reve-
nues of $23,862,788 were IL per
cent behind year earlier and
operating expenses of $18,979.109
were down 3 of per cent. Nom
operating income of $81 $40 was
off 61.8 per cent.
The company has petitioned
the District Public Utilities Com
mission for higher rates, but
delays have developed over a
period of many months as COM
m1tteeS OF Congress nave Studled
company affairs and the entire
transportation picture in the
Washington area.
Dividend Issued Monday.
A group headed by Louis E.
Wolfson of Jacksonville. Fla,
took control of the company in
September. 1949, and a vigorous
liberalization of dividend policy
began.
Only Monday, directors de-
clared another quarterly divi-
dend of 40 cents a share to main
tain the $160 annual rate in
stituted at the start of this year.
The company paid 81 40 a share
in 1852, plus the $240 extra.
October passengers were lis
per cent behind a year earlier,
but total bus and street car mile
age was off only SIS per cent.
Ten months passengers de-
creased 11.2 per cent, while
total mileage was off 5 per cent.

to Get Rodor Dotu. Poee AS
last night had been billed as an
answer to former President
Truman's recent remarks on
"McCarthyism," and the Demo-
Gratis came in for their share of
verbal blows. But the Senator
climaXed the talk with his first
open attack on the Eisenhower
administration for it's handling
OF the Communist issue.
1t was by far the strongest
move he has yet made toward
the center of the political stage.
Says Reds Will Be Issue.
In rapid succession, Senator
Mccarthy:
l. Bluntly informed Gen. Els
enhoWer that communism would
be an issue in the 1854 elections
even though the President might
hope it would not be.
2. Pictured next years con-
gressional elections as a contest
in which the voters would be de-
Gliding whether he (Senator Nc
Carthy) should be retained as
chairman of the Senate Investi-
eating Committee.
3. Accused the Eisenhower ad-
ministration of batting zero" in
the anti-Red cause by keeping
IN Government service John
Patton Davies, described by Sen
ator Mccarthy as a member of
the "old Acheson-Lattimore-
Vincent -White-Hiss group" ac-
cused of putting Communist
spies in the Central Intelligence
Agency.
Urges Change in Korea Issue.
4. Called for a complete about
face in the administrators ham
ding of the Korean situation.
The United States should cut
off all aid to any foreign nation
which trades with Red China,
Senator Mccarthy urged.
1t was at the approximate
mid-points of his speech that the
Wisconsin lawmaker turned from
lambaSting the Democrats and
began addressing advice to his
own party,
"a few days ago." he said, II
read that President Eisenhower
expressed the hope that by elec-
ton time in 1854 the subject of
communism would be dead and
forgotten issue. The raw, harsh,
unpleasant fact is that commu-
nism is an issue and will be an
issue in 1854"
Senator Mccarthy said the
Democrats were always pro-
claiming that 'McCarthyism" is
an issue for the coming election
campaign.
Depends on G. o. p.
I'm way, guess it is" the
Senator said, because my posi-
ton as chairman of the InveSti-
eating Committee where 1 can
continue to expose and dig out
Communists depends upon Re-
publican Senators being retained
in Office.
Therefore, if the American
people agree with Truman that
what he calls McCarthyism is
bad, that it is wrong to dig out
and expose traitors, they have a
chance to get rid of me AS chair
man of the Investigating Com
mittee next fall by defeating any
Republican up for election"
On the other hand, Senator
Mccarthy said, if the voters

quests for Mr.. Gouzenkos ap-
pearance before the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee
was still awaited in Washington
today.
Prime Minister Louis ST. Laur-
ent, in a statement to Parlia-
ment (about 2::30 pm. EST this
afternoon, was scheduled to out
line his Governments reply.
But what the official decision
would be was made clear yester-
day in a speech by Canadian
Foreign Secretary Pearson be-
fore the United Nations Cores
podents Association in New
York. The Canadian govern
ment he said, would not prevent
Mr.. Gouzenko from talking to
American authorities in Can
ada. Neither would it try to
keep him from coming to the
United States to appear before
the committee, if he wanted to.
Fled Embassy to Talk.
At the same time, Mr.. Pearson
pointed out that Canada cannot
guarantee to maintain the ano-
nymity under which the former
Russian Embassy clerk now lives.
Mr.. Gouzenko fled the Russian
Embassy in Ottawa in 1945
and later supplied evidence
that led to the roundup of a
widespread spy ring in the Cana
dian government.
In effect, Mr.. Pearson's state
ment-and the contents of the
expected Canadian note - rep
resent no real change in the
original Canadian refusal" to
make it's ward available for
questioning.
The first request from Sena-
tor Jenner's committee was not
specific about the dtails under
which it would seek Mr.. Gou-
zenkoS testimony. The Cana
dian reply was equally vague
about what it would stand for.
1t pointed out. however, that
since all of Mr.. Gouzenko's
testimony had previously been
made available to American au-
thorities and since he had no
new information to offer, there
seemed little point in question
Ing him. 1t also laid emphasis
on the need for continuing the
security measures with which
Mr.. Gouzenko has been sur
rounded.
Has Own Free Choice
Later, Mr.. Pearson made it
clear to reporters that the only
thing the Canadian government
was refusing to do was to of
ficlally indorse Mr.. Gouzenko's
appearance in Washington, or
clothe a Senate Committee with
any authority in Canada. At the
same time. he pointed out that
Mr.. Gouzenko. as a Canadian
citizen could go where he liked
and talk to any one he wanted to.
To the extent that the Canad-
ian government can be said to
have changed its previous posi-
tlon on the Gouzenko question,
1t lies in its attitude toward Mr..
Gouzenko himself. At first, Can
ada seemed anxious to protect
its ward from the publicity that
attends congressional inquiries.
Now, the Canadians seem more
willing to wash their hands of
Mr.. GouZenko and let him look
out for his own interests in the
future. At this point, it seems
that there will be no further at
tempt to discourage Mr.. Gou-
Zenko from talking, in the light
of his apparent eagerness to
90 so.
Unofficial sources in Ottawa
speculated that arrangements
might be made for a secret
meeting between GouZenko and
subcommittee representative
somewhere in Canada, the
Associated Press reported. It
apparently would be up to
Gouzenko whether he wanted
to run the risk of exposure by
attending.
In his New York speech, Mr..

was outlined here today at a
hearing before the Civil Aero
nautics Board.
This proposed cut under the
