District Seeks
$4,000 More
For Public Aid
Asks Shift of Funds
To Meet Increase
In Unemployment
By Don S. Warren

District officials today urged
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee to provide an additional
100000 for public assistance
here for the rest of this fiscal
year because of increased UNI
employment.
The money would be a trans
fer of funds already made by
Congress for other District serv-
ices for which there is no i'm
mediate need.
Part of the money has been
saved because of a six-months'
delay in opening the new in
duStrial home school at Laurel,
Md, and the rest of it due to
the inability of the city to fill
certain positions on the staff of
the District Training School
there.
Problem in 3 Categories.
William G. Wilding, deputy
budget officer. explained that
there has been an increase in
the case loads for three cate
gories: Aid to dependent chill
dren, old age assistance and aid
to the disabled.
While these cases are unem-
playable, he explained, their
needs have gone up because in
creased unemployment has de-
prived them of supplemental aid
they had been getting from rela-
tiveS.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea said the total assistance
case load in January was 1888
and that by the end of March
the total had gone up to 7,713.
Appropriations Com m it tie e
Chairman Bridges brought out
that public assistance had been
fixed a year ago at IS per cent
Of the Welfare Departments
subsistence budget. Mr.. Wilding
said if the District did not get
approval of the use of the extra
100000, the assistance level
would have to be cut to So per
cent for May and June.
$4,000 Shifted Last Month.
Last month the Commissioners
transferred $4,000 to public as
sistance from another Welfare
Department appropriation. For
this fiscal year Congress appro-
priated $2,8O5,272 of District
money to be used for assistance
grants.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
and other District officials also
asked the committee to restore
cuts of $75,500 made by the
House in supplemental appro-
priations for schools.
Originally the Commissioners
had asked supplemental funds
totalling $6,140,600, mostly to
cover costs of pay raises for
policemen. firemen and school
teachers. The House cut the
total to $6,027,749.

Rules on Testing Cows
For BruceIIosis Tiqhfened

The Commissioners today tight

ing stricter rules for testing cows
for brucellosiS.
Under the revised regulations,
all cows showing traces of the
disease must be eliminated from
herds.
The disease can cause undu-
lent fever in human beings, if
the milk is not pasteurized. All
the milk processed in the Dis
trict is pasteurized. the Health
Department pointed out, and the
only reason for the revision is
to permit District diaries to send

Capital Transit
Po|icyWrong,.
Expert Says
ConsuItunt Scores
Bond Reduction Plan
As 'Unwise Action
By John w. Stepp

Capital Transit Co. has been
pursuing policies that have re-
suited in an utterly incon-
gruous" relationship between its
earnings and stock dividends, a
New York transportation consult
ant declared today.
The statement was made by
Edward A. Roberts, retained by
the District Public Utilities Com
mission as an expert witness in
its current investigation of the
company'S financial practices.
Under particular scrutiny is
Capital Transit's decision, now
being stayed by the courts, to
redeem $50 million worth of
bonds and to declare another
$384.000 in cash dividends to
stockholders.
On the subject of dividends.
Mr.. Roberts testified. company
records show the remarkable
situation" where the payments
per share since 1949 have in
creased yearly from so cents to
the present level of $3.50. The
rise, he said, contrasts with the
picture of earnings per share
which have continuously de-
creased from $1.49 in 1851 to 81
in 1858.
Bond Reduction Criticized.
The witness also criticized as
IAN unwise action" the proposed
reduction of bonds. He gave this
opinion, he said. especially be-
cause of the uncertainty over
whether the company will con-
tinue to lose passengers under
the higher fares that have been
in effect for two months.
Mr.. Roberts referred to the
company'S short-term borrowing
of SIS million as a cushion
against contingencies at the
same time that it decided to call
in its 20-year mortgage bonds.
1T seems unwise," Mr.. Rob-
erts testified, ito substitute SIS
million of Indebtedness within
a year for a similar amount of
indebtedness which does not
mature until 1864.
Insofar as the borrowing Of
the SIS million is for the pur-
pose of paying cash dividends
which may not be earned, the
proposed transaction is quite
unSound."
The witness summarized his
view of the proposed financial
transaction by saying that the
company's credit would be af-
fected adversely and that its
ability to withstand operating
losses that may result from the
passenger drop-off would be
weakened.
Past History Cited.
Mr.. Roberts said that Capital
Transit for many years has had
assets approximately double its
liabilities-a sound working cap
ital ratio. This ratio should, at
absolute minimum. be at least
one to one between assets and
liabilities.
IF were making a career Of
operating this company" Mr..
Roberts testified in response tn a
commission directed question,
"as a permanent public service
institution, 1 would not want my
working capital and cash re-
duced drastically and I would
not want to assume a large
Short-term Indebtedness under
existing uncertain conditions.
IF on the other hand, was
committed irrevocably to high
dividend rate regardless of earn
ings and if found my dividend
program baked by a restriction
in a bond indenture, l would
favor the bond redemption pro-
gram as the only escape from my
dilemma"

sense, / think. Men are not
looking for a dumb date. Neither
are they looking for one whose
education Is offensive-one who
is continually trying to show
off her smartness and make
them feel inferior. That stands
to reason, doesn't it, Williamae?
You'd have the same feeling
about it, yourself.
If these student opinions are
representative, a girl doesn't
have to be brilliant, glamorous
or socially gifted to be a good
companion on a date. and get a
second and third date out Of 1t.
She needs to be companionable.
What do you think that means,
Williamae? I'd say it means
that the man enjoys being with
her because she can talk land

he is also interested: because
she isn't catty or a show-off !;
because she isn't continually
trying to- make herself seem
superior by telling about the
swell fellows who took her to

money on her last week; be-
cause she isn't paying attention
