Backs Legal Staff Plan.
Mr.. Weston, taking issue with
Chairman Mclaughlin and the
District Commissioners, main
tanned the recent events
strengthened his conviction that
the utilities commission should
have its own counsel instead of
depending upon the Corpora
ton Counsel'S Office, which has
one assistant corporation coun-
sci assigned full time to the
commission.
Since January, he said. "there
have been new expressions of
hostility" from Louis E. Wolf
son, chairman of the board of
CTC, and Mr.. Broadwater. These
make it perfectly clear that
the commission. for a long time
to come" Mr.. Weston said, will
have to be prepared to enforce
its orders against litigation

services of an unlimited number
of able legal counsel"
Commissioner Spencer con-
tended that a separate legal staff
for the commission would be
contrary to policies the District
Commissioners have established
under reorganization.
Objectives Endorsed.
At the end of yesterdays hear
ing, Grace Spiro, representing
the Washington Chapter of
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton, Endorsed the general OBJ
jectives Of the pending legisla-
ton, but suggested several
changes.
She urged the subcommittee
to hire expert counsel to make
further exploration of the
possibilities of merger Of the
CTC and three major suburban
bus lines with the hope Of
achieving an area-wide 15-cent
transit fare.
Senator Payne said he had
doubts as to whether Congress
could order such a merger Of
privately owned transit concerns.
and said any initiative to that
end would have to come from
the transit company.

By Don S. Warren

The Senate District Committee
soon must decide what 1t will do
with all the proposed legislation
which has grown out of its nine
month, $4,000 investigation Of
Washington's transit headaches.
At least two such bills are to
come before the full Senate Dis
trict Committee at q meeting
scheduled for IL am. next We'd
nesday.
One would give the District
Public Utilities Commission pow
er to control dividends paid by
companies subject to its juris-
diction.
The other. a conflict Of in
terests" bill. would bar former
aides Of several city regulatory
agencies from appearing before
the agencies for two years.
Still a third bill may come
before the committee at the
same time-an omnibus measure
to revise the Districts utilities
law.
Changes Planned.
First. however, some changes
in it will be made by the Com
merce Subcommittee, headed by
Senator Payne, Republican, of
Maine, officials say.
This big bill includes provision
for the required election of
three public interest" members
of the Board of Directors Of the
Capital Transit Co. from among
10 nominees to be made by the
District Commissioners.
This plan drew mixed reaction
at yesterdays hearing before
the Payne District subcommit-
tee, with some witnesses raising

the question of constitutionality
]. A. B. Broadwater, president
Of the Capital Transit Co.,
blasted this plan as amazing
coming from a Senate commit
tee, as discriminatory" since it
applied only to the Capital
Transit Co. and as ''socialistic"
in its general concept.
Hearings Concluded.
Hearings on the omnibus bill
were concluded yesterday with
some free give-and- take between
Senator Payne and Mr.. Broad
water over CTC's philosophy on
public interest.
Mr.. Broadwater Stoutly main
tanned that his company recog-
nized it has a real public inter-
est. In fact. he argued that a
director with an invested finan-
cial interest would have a deeper
interest in District welfare than
one of the non-stockholding pub
lie interest members proposed in
the subcommittee bill.
AS he put it, that is where
his heart lies," referring to a
director who has invested in the
company. If a director has no
interest in the District, he added,
then he would be cutting his
own throat"
AS he went on to proclaim
the city welfare attitude Of the
controlling interests of the CTC,
Senator Payne interrupted to
say this philosophy did not jibe
with the dividend. 7polices and
the demands for increased con-
sumner fares adopted by the CTC
under the Wolfson syndicate
management.
You say nice things and then
hold up a red flag and invite the
bull to charge" Senator Payne
said.
Fair Return Emphasized.
Mr.. Broadwater argued that
the time had come for Congress
and others to ignore what profits
were flowing to members of the
WolfSon Florida syndicate that
now has control of the transit
company. He repeatedly insisted
that owners of the transit COM
pany were entitled to fair re-
turn on their investment; that
this so far had not been at
tanned. and that it would have
to be achieved if private owner
ship of the utility is to be con-
tinued.
The issues provoked some op-
posing views from city officials
The Utility Commissioners Rob-
ert z. Mclaughlin and Robert
M. Weston approved in prin-
ciple the three public interest
CTC directors. But they, too.
took different slants. Chairman
Mclaughlin said there may be
some doubt as to the constitu-
tionality of this provision. but
Mr.. Weston told Senator Payne.
who conducted the hearing. that
he knew of no court decision
which raised doubt about it's
constitutionality.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
speaking for the Board of Com
missioners, denounced this pro-
poSal by saying:
"We believe that little, if any,
good will be accomplished by
this provision. The public men,

are now living in mobile homes

lined modern dwelling of this
type, complete with radiant
heating, picture windows. indi-
rect lighting, built-in television,
automatic garbage disposal and
washing machine. plus three
rooms of furniture, for about
$4,000 or less.
Because approximately 95 per
cent of the owners Of such
homes use them for permanent
dwellings. the manufactures Or
ganization recently changed its
name from the Trailer Coach
Manufacturers Association to
the Mobile Homes Manufac-
turers' Association.
Many Stay Put.
1t seems that most of the buy
ers seldom travel. They just
plant their homes in a trailer
park and stay put-even re-
moving the wheels and setting
up house on blocks.
These homes are marvels at
space saving. Dinettes convert
into double beds. A lounge chair
unfolds to form a dining table

becomes a table merely by an
extension of the front and in

Catholic hospitals and schools
in North Carolina are opening
their doors TO their Negro
brethren.
In a letter to superinten-
dents of Catholic hospitals in
the North Carolina diocese of
Raleigh, Bishop Vincent S.
Waters has reaffirmed his
position that "there is no seq
regation of races to be tolerat.
ed in the Diocese of Raleigh. "
THAT the year might not come
to close without some special
work being initiated by our Ca
tholic hospitals in honor of Our
Blessed Mother" Bishop Waters
said, i ask the hospitals in the
Diocese of Raleigh beginning with
the Feast of Our Lady's Nativity,
September 3, to do the following:
Open all facilities of our Ca
tb0iic hospitals TO Catholic Neg
roes, in any places where this has
not been done already. and To non
Catholic Negroes as far as extra
room may permit. Permit quail
fled Negro physicians and surgeons
TO take care Of these patients when
ever possible. especially by offer
ing opportunities for work 10
Negroes TO help solve their prob
lens"
In letter on school segregation
Bishop Waters said that there Is
no law in North Carolina which
attempts 10 regulate the segrega4
ton Of races in churches. or
private schools, hospitals, or other
institutions.
Beginning therefore" he said,

Lewd Comics

BELLEVILLE, Ill. -(NC)-
Law-enforcing officers were
called upon to confiscate crime
and sex "comic books" and
magazines in st. Clair county
here by Acting County Judge
John J. Driscoll.
The Judge, a member of St Phil
ip's parish. East st. Louis, Ill.
charged the books were respon-
sible for much of the juvenile de-
linquency in this county.
"These books are destroying
the morals of our young people, :"
he said. He remarked that a po-
liceman will pounce upon slot
machine, confiscate it and arrest
the operator, but said police of
ficers fail to take Objectionable lit
erature from store racks.
Judge Driscoll, father of nine
children, made his remarks after
granting years probation to a
14-year-old Belleville boy who ad-
mitted molesting two young girls.
The boy said the incidents oc-
Cured after he visited stores and
read lewd magazines and crime
glorifying comic books.
This case is not the fault of

But | think St Clair county could
handle the situation. All police
would have to do is confiscate
books in some stores and the rest
would fall in line" he stated.
These books have a tremen-
dous influence on the minds of
our young people. 1t is wrong for
store owners to make money by
selling them to young people" he
declared

will firmly hold to my opposing
views"
Mr.. Arthur took his stand in the
wake of an opinion by the State
Attorney General that the pro-
visions of the McCollum case must
be adhered to in the released time
program in the State. Both the At
torney General and the State Com
mission of Education let 1t be
known that they were unSympa-
thetic with the ruling.
In support of his stand, the Lieu
tenant Governor recalled that the
Vermont Constitution was adopted
in 1777, ten years before the adop-
ton of the Federal Constitution.
when we joined the Union in
1871. we reserved certain pro-
visions as provided in the 10th Ar

He pointed out that the McCol-
Ium case originated in Illinois,
which was not admitted to the I'm
ion until 1918. "a quarter of 2
century after the Federal Consti-
tuition and may well have not re-
served the provisions pertinent to
this ruling" Mr.. Arthur said.
The Lieutenant Governor point
ed out that the first Article of the
Vermont Constitution abolishes
slavery, which was not outlawed
in the nation until 1865. He said
