Temporary Increase
In Maryland Phones
Made Permanent
Commission Prohibits
Any New Raise
In Split Decision
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 14-The
Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. was allowed today to
hold temporary rate increases
granted for Maryland last
winter, but was denied any new
boosts.
Increases effective last Febru-
ary l added 25 cents a month to
party line charges and SO cents
to private line costs. Under
today's ruling of the Public
Service Commission they be-
come permanent.
When the c. q P. asked for
the increases. it estimated they
would return $863,000 a year
The gross cost to Maryland
subscribers to bring in that
amount is $1,80O,OO0 a year.
Decision Split, 2 to 1.
Commissioners John H. Hessey
and Frank Harper signed the
order. Commissioner Wilmer
Fell Davis dissented.
The telephone company ex-
pressed qualification, but said the
decision was based on earnings
of several months ago and did
not take into account the situ-
alton today.
Vice President w. Griffin Nor
rell said the C. & P. will continue
its efforts to secure an adequate
level of earnings"
The majority opinion of the
PSC found that under the tenn
porary rates the company is
earning a return of $50 per cent
which is within the range found
to be fair and reasonable.
Majority Explains.
Because of this, the two COM
missionerS said it is manifest
that the temporary rates should
be made permanent"
Mr.. Davis said in his dissent
ing opinion he could see no ne
cesSity for making the rates per-
manent on the basis of such a
short period of experience.
When it filed its application
for the 25-cent and 50-cent in
creases, the C. & P. asked for
other boosts, not exactly speci-
fled. The commission ruled this
out.
The application was first filed
on August 20, 1852.

DR.. Martha M. Eliot, chief of
the Children's Bureau, today
called for full team play" by
all agencies working with chill
dren to cope with juvenile
delinquency in Washington.
DR.. Eliot, who recently said
present services here were not
adequate to deal with rising
juvenile delinquency, emphasized
the idea of co-ordinated effort
in today's statement.
A group appointed by the
Commissioners to coordinate all
services dealing with children
has been urged by The Star and
supported by numerous civic
leaders and groups.
DR.. Eliot, without specifying
what machinery should be used
to work out a cooperative pro-
gram, made it clear that an in
ventory of existing services is
necessary. Her statement follows: ::
"Just as the serious evidences
of juvenile delinquency are nu-
merous-vandalism, petty thiev-
cry, grand larceny, sex offenses-
SO is there no single way to curb
this problem. Every urban COM
munity in the Nation seems to
be facing it today and the ways
in which each may decide to
solve it are going to vary.
"One thing is certain, however,
and that is that the community
must recognize its own failures
in providing services for young
people and do something about
them.

Full Team Play Advocated
In Fiqht on Juvenile Crime
Dr. Eliot of ChiIdren's Bureau Says
Agencies Must Unite to Meet Problem

I ton in one part of Washington,
then ways should be found to
provide it. If in another part,
there is need for a child gui-
dance clinic, it is up to respon-
sible local people to provide it.
This does not mean that
Washington needs a lot of new
children's agencies. 1t does
mean that the people who run
services for children need to
work together.
1T means that citizens of
stature and responsibility must
be willing and ready to serve
in finding out what community
services are needed and in
strengthening, supporting and
financing those services.
''It is time for the nations s
capital to take an inventory OF
the jobs its agencies are doing
skillfully and to decide what
ways they can be used to greatest
advantage and strengthened to
offer broader and more effec-
tive work.
'It is up to the residents of
Washington to decide what
mechanism can most usefully be
employed for this inventory.
Whatever that mechanism is, it
should be something that will
permit full team play by all the
public and voluntary agencies
working with children.

vitality to call public attention

Everybody Appears Happy
AT Gathering of Democrats
Shrewd Leaders Like Royburn Go in Action
To Prevent Fight Over Loyalty Pledge
By Allen Druy
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Every-
body is so happy with everybody
else in Chicago that you'd hardly
know the players were Democrats
if you didn't have a program.
There isn't going to be any
fight over the loyalty pledge. and
there isn't going to be any ruckus
between Harry and Adlai, and
things are going to be just won
derful.
Or so everybody said.
Actually, the loyalty pledge
controversy between Southern
and Northern Democrats did
come up briefly today at a break
fast meeting of State Democra-
tic chairmen.
State Chairman L. Marion
Gressette of South Carolina
moved that the naxt Democratic
convention should not have q
loyalty pledge similar to that
adopted at the 1852 convention,
After some discussion, his fell
low Democrats finally prevailed
on Mr.. Gressette to withdraw his
motion. No action was taken.

stored.

lowing calliopeS which IA months
ago proclaimed the merits of
rival presidential candidates are
missing from the corridors, the
bathrooms and the streets out
side this time, but everything
else at the Conrad Hilton Hotel

Crowds on the Move.
There is the same restlessly
wandering crowd. constantly on
the move past the registration
desks, the information desks, the
newsstand, the house phones; the
same urge to ride up and down
in elevators which seems to af-
f1ict too many people at the

Fines Of $1,000
Levied on I in
Nelson Case
Guilty Pleas Filed
At Conspiracy Trial;
Jail Terms Suspended

Charles E. Nelson, Prince
Georges County gambler, his
wife and five other persons were
fined $4,000 each today in Upper
Marlboro on gambling conspir-
acy charges. Nelson and five of
the others also were given three
year prison terms, which were
suspended.
The sentences were passed aft
er they entered surprise pleas
of guilty as their trial was about
to start in Prince Georges Coun-
ty Circuit Court.
There was no prosecution in
the case of one of the code
PENDANTS in the reputed $6 mil
lion-a-year gambling ring, the
operation of which extended
into the District and nearby Vir-
ginia.
Kirby Is Freed.
The one freed without prose-
cution was suspended District
Detective Sergt. Robert G..
Kirby.
Pleas for leniency were made
to Judge Charles c. Marbury by
defense counsel, who stressed
their belief that there is nothing
morally wrong" with operating
lottery, for which Nelson and
the other were accused of con-
spring.
In addition to Nelson, fines
and suspended sentences were
given to:
Mrs. Virginia Madge Nelson,
Nelson's wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert L. holland,
Nelson's alleged syndicate part
nerS.
Miss Effie Lou Trent, a woman
employe of Nelson's.
Former District Precinct De-
tective James E. Lowry.
Mrs. Ruby Geary, another en-
ploye of Nelson's, was fined So
600, but was given no prison SEN
tence. Judge Marbury said he
felt there was no need to place
her on probation as he did with
the others since she already is
on probation from the District.
Dubious on Conviction.
Concerning the lack of prose-
cution in the case of Kirby
States Attorney Carlyle G. Lam
caster said after this mornings
court session that he felt that
he could not obtain a conviction.
Attorney A. Gwynn Bowie, who
represented the Nelson's, told
the court in his leniency plea
that he considered operating a
lottery as mot morally wrong"
He said it was wrong only by
legislation.
Attorney Robert w. McCul-
lough, representing Mrs. Geary,
declared that go per cent of the
churches on the Eastern Shore
are maintained or were built by
the racetracks. You can go to
Bowie and you can bet as much
as you can afford. But if you
step outside one foot and make
a bet. you are running against
the law"
ElectrOcardiOgram.
Mr.. Bowie presented to- the
court an electrocardlogram
taken during physical exami-
nation of Nelson last week. He
said it indicated that Nelson is
suffering from heart disease and
that a prison term might be too
much for him physically.
The attorney for Mrs. holland
told the court that she is nearly
blind and that the hollands are
unable to afford the $500 needed
for an operation which might
restore her sight.

eight defendants was returned in

regional Democratic meetings,
like the one now in progress
here are more effective and
would better serve the purpose
OF stirring interest and cement
ing Democratic organization
than a mid-term national con-
vention would.
Fear Platform Fight.
Behind the scenes, there also
was the fear that a Democratic
convention next year would Ger
tainly stage another fight be-
tween the Democrats of the
South and the North over a
party platform.
AS one member Of the COM
mittee put it:
Il don't want a fight more than
once every four years"
The two committees, one con-
gressional, headed by Democratic
House Leader Sam Rayburn of
Texas. and the other general,
headed by Gov. Narland of West
Virginia - met separately this
morning and then together. They
adopted a resolution thanking
Paul Butler, Democratic National
Committman from Indiana, who
originally proposed the mid term
national convention. Technically,
they referred the matter to the
Democratic National Committee
for action such as it desired. The
meeting, however, disclosed there
was little or no support for the
mid-term convention.
Gov. Mennen Williams of
Michigan, not a member of
either committee, expressed the
feeling of many Democrats when
he said he believed that Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress
in next years election preferred
more leeway and did not wish
to be bound by action of a ma
tional convention.
Hope for Congress Gains.
A Midwest regional conference
under the Craftsmanship of Jacob
Arvey, Illinois Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman, met and
talked over plans for carrying
the ID Mid-western States repre-
sented in the election next year.
Mr.. Arvey and other leaders from
the section said they were hope
full of gaining Democratic seats
in the House and Senate.
The spotlight, however, was
mostly on Mr.. Stevenson and his
plans for 1856.
At a Democratic women's tea
party yesterday Mr.. Stevenson
took a hearty swipe at President
EiSenhower's Great Crusade, F."
which brought him down to de-
feat last year.
1T wasn't a crusade" he said.
"but it begins to look as if we
might need one. And I'll be
happy to start it."
