Average Rate
Has Decreased
Says Boost Sought
Would Merely Put
1t at 1899 Level
By Hector MeLeon

Charles L. Carr, Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. controller, de-
clared today that a proposed
$5.785.000 rate increase will
merely restore the average resi-
Dental rate per kilowatt-hour
to the 1899 level.
Opening the second day OF
testimony before the Public
Utilities Commission In its bid
for rate boost. Mr.. Carr in
sisted that the average of all
living expenses in Washington
has virtually doubled.
During this time. he testified,
the average revenue paid by
residential customers per kilo-
watt-hour has decreased 10 per
cent.
Attorneys Clash.
The hearing was highlighted
by a brief clash between attor-
neys for the power company
and for Capital Transit Co.,
which is opposing any rate in
crease because of its position as
one of the power company's larg-
est customers.
F. Gloyd Await CTC attorney,
demanded that George Bisset,
Pepco senior vice president, pro-
duce work sheets on which his
carefully transcribed testimony
was based.
T. Justin Moore, Pepco attor-
ney. objected that he had found
"abuse" of work sheets made
available to Capital Transit off,
cials during a 1851 hearing,
which led to an increase which
finally has been tossed back to
the utilities commission for re-
hearing by the courts.
Chairman Robert E. McLaugh-
lin of the utilities commission,
cut off the exchange, declaring,
I'VE can waste a lot of time in
this case just fighting the old
war;"
Statistics Offered.
Mr.. Carr insisted the power
company's investment in prop.
erty and plant will have In.
creased by the end of this year
to 142 per cent over 1943. Its
customers, he said. will have in
creased 81 per cent and its kilo.
watt-hour sales will have in-
creased 80 per cent.
He pointed out that I'VE find
that over half our total property
and plant has been added in the
last seven years."
Explaining the 10 per cent de-
crease in "the average revenue
per kilowatt-ho paid by Pep.
co.'s residential customers" he
declared:
"The residential customers to.
tai electric bill has, of course,
increased, but only because he Is
using more electricity each
year."

Urban Renewal
Project Awaits
Initial Funds
Groundwork Loid
For Northwest Area
$1,250. 900 Request

ssASOs0OO 06SA
The way was paved today for
the District Redevelopment Land
Agency to ask the Housing and
Home Finance Administrator for
$1,250.000 for the Northwest
Urban Renewal Area project.
Corresponding roughly to the
boundaries of No. 2 police pre-
cinct, this area becomes the first
real project the agency has un-
dertaken under President Eisen-
: hoWer's new housing program.
The money will be used for in
itial surveys and plans.
The agency's board of direc-
tors, meeting yesterday, author
lied its executive director, John
r. Searles, jr., to file the re-
quest for funds Immediately.
They adopted a formal resolu-
tion, setting the program in ac-
ton.
General Counsel George f.
Riseling Of the agency explained
the money will enable it to de-,
termine what property will have
to be acquired by the Govern
ment and how much can be
brought up to- standard by re-
pairs. Enforcement of the Dis
trict's new housing code by an
agency within the city govern
inent will aid in this program,
Mr.. Riseling said.
Can BE Voluntary.
But a program of rehabilita-
tion. with Government blessing,
can be undertaken on q volun-
tary basis by property owners to
improve part of the area through
repairs. the general counsel ex-
planned.
Following the preliminary
work final plans will be drawn
up. Then the agency will execute
IA contract with the admins
traitor to carry out these final
plans for improvement of the
area. Mr.. Riseling declared.
The board also discussed the
possibility of hiring a real estate
expert to aid it in its projects.
The Northwest Urban Renewal
Area comes under the amended
Housing Act of 1949 to aid local
slum clearance and urban re-
neWal projects.
In asking for the $3.50, 900,
the board passed a formal reso-
luton, saying this assistance is
necessary. It said its obligations
under the act can and will be
fulfilled.
'l Prior Approval by d. C.
4R In taking its action yesterday,
the board completed the final
legal step necessary before ap-
plying to the Housing and Home
Finance Agency. The National
Capital Planning Commission
had previously adopted the
boundaries.
Before the board meeting
yesterday the District Commits
sioners met and approved the
project. paving the way for the
agency to act.
The program is set up on a
preliminary stage of Is months
and a final stage of equal time.
The $1,250,000 would provide
for $297,359 for survey and
planning. This would include
funds for test borings.
Land surveys and appraisals
would total $731.661 under the
project. This would include
title searching. for which $780,
600 would be set apart.
The board was advised about
these land acquisitions in the
Southwest Project Area B as of
November 10:
Acquired by direct negotia-
tion, $40 lots, or 41.57 per cent,
for $2,132,006.
Acquired by declaration by
taking. 178 lots, or 20 per cent,
and $870.333 deposited in the
registry of the court to cover
the disputed cases.
In all, the RIA has acquired
548 lots, or 61.57 per cent of the
area involved, at a total cost of
$4,000. .33o.

NEW YORK.

Listen Kids: You youngsters
can be pardoned your bewilder-
rnent at the extravagant eulogies
now being rendered to Andrei
Vishinsky. Some of them are
almost affectionate in tone. You
might be led to believe that some
national hero died.
Vishinsky doesn't rate any of
these expressions of grief. OF all
the cutthroat Soviet crew, he
qualified as the most heartless.
During the purge trials, in which
he served as prosecutor, old
friends Of his were characterized
by him as sons Of pigs" and
other gutter epithets. Vishinsky
died on swank Park avenue. His
victims died in filthy cells or were
shot down by firing squads. Their
families never saw them after
the murder squads raped at
their doors at 5 an, the ia.
vorite hour for the arrivel Of
Soviet killers. Only the terrified
screams Of wives and children
testified to the arrival and de-,
parture Of vishinsky's colleagues
in murder.
The prisoners then were tor
tured into phony admissions of
guilt. Before their appearance
IN court before Vishinsky, they
were drugged SO that, numbly
they would repeat the rehearsed
confessions. Now and then, one
Of these victims would refuse, in
court. to read the rehearsed lines
and Vishinsky would send them
back to the torture cells. On his
next appearance, the victim
would confess"
It's important to recall these
things to you youngsters. Many
of you were infants when vi
>shinsky in Moscow, was spelling
out his infamy in the blood of
men whom Stain wanted out of
his way,
It wasn't patriotism that per-
suaded Vishinsky to browbeat
these doomed Russians. There
was nothing of Patrick Henry
about him. He did it to protect
his own position because the en-
tire record of his life offered cal
lous proof that he would serve
any master, reduce himself to
any level to gain his own COM
pletely selfish ends.
In some of the eulogies now
being extended, I was astounded
to read one description of him as
genial" The French Premier
described him as "the old fighter
has gone to his rest. /" Henry Cabot
Lodge, jr., recalled that Vishin-
sky, at their last meeting, had

of the way with Golden Boy" It
is q fine gallery of characters,
both comic and tragic, that they
have created under the guidance
of Producer-Director Zelda
Fichandler.. And the guidance
OF the Odets' script, of course.
This distillate Of Odets' earlier
pain with the ways Of life centers
around the musician-turned-
fighter and a girl named Lorna
Moon, who describes herself as
"a tramp from Newark" aiad
who has the misfortune to fall
in love with him. They are as
1ll-starred a pair of lovers as
playwright ever conceived. In a
number Of passages in Odets'
sometimes stark, sometimes bit
terly comic play Anne Meacham
and Alan Coates make Lorna and
Joe and their twin anguish pain
fully real.
The two are surrounded by
a number Of others for whom
the only word is splendid.
Busiest among them are AL
Ruscio, who manages to be every
inch the broken-do fight
manager with a life full of woe,
and Allen Joseph, who makes
an appealing figure of the father
who loves his son and can't
understand this switch from the
beloved violin to the rudeness
OF the boxing world.
Olive Dunbar has come up
with a minor part this time, the
fate of girls in repertory COM
paines, but she obviously has
given 1t as much preparation
as If it were a stellar role. Clearly
a talented girl. Among other
contributions are a thorough
going comedy delineation of
Joe's cab driver brother-in-law
by Dick O'Neill. a blusteringly
comic fight promoter by Dick
Sykes, an icily sinister gangster
by Lester Rawlins, and fine
Schopenauer-quoting philoso-
pher by Gerry Hiken. j. Robert
Dietz as Joe's trainer, Richard
Shepard as a broken-down
fighter and some others help
things along considerably.
Mr.. Odets really ought to see
this Arena production of
Golden Boy" You should en-
joy 1t, too. though that isn't
precisely the word. It's strenu-
GUS, but well worth while.

u. 5. Tin Corporation
Accused Of Hidinq
Federal Loan DATA
BY ihe Asso',eiatsd Press

The United States Tin Corp.
has been accused In q congress
siqnal committee report of
deliberately concealing vital In
formation" when It obtained
Federal loans totaling $3.50, SIS
for an Alaskan tin operation.
The company. withholding de-
tailed comment on the report,
voiced confidence in the ultimate
success Of its operations.
The report was based on ex-
tensive hearings held last sum.
mer by the Senate House COM
mittee on Defense Production.
It said "unrealistic promises"
nlarred the company's perform
ance and should have warned
the Government agencies which
made five, separate loans, the
latest last July.
The company sought the loans
to construct a pilot tin mill at
Lost River, Alaska, only 40 miles
from Russian Siberia. The COM
mittee said tin and tungsten have
been produced which are about
equal in value to "one-tenth Of
all funds advanced"
The committee said it was re-
ferring to Attorney General
Brownell evidence of ''gross in
efficiency" on the part Of sew
eral Government agencies in
connection with the loans.
At Seattle, the firms treas
urer, j. j. Gilmour, said:
1--WE do not feel we have any
thing to gain by commenting on
the report and are awaiting a
copy in order to study it.
I'VE believe in the final analy-
sis the ultimate success of the
Lost River property will justify
the position the company has
taken"
The report, prepared by Com
mittee Counsel Harold j. War

summer, was literally spotted
with angry illusions to "many

You can trust that this sort of
tripe was diplomatic doubletalk,
because each Of these new better.
It is vitality important that you
youngsters realize that Vishin-
sky, to protect his own safety and
advance his own selfishness, hes
itated at no measure of deceit.
Long q resident of this country
and thus familiar with Ameri-
cans, he delivered the bitterest
attacks on us, knowing full well
that they were untrue.
The GIs who were BRAIN
washed in North Korea, who suf-
fered every indignity, who were
denied every protection usually
accorded to prisoners of war,
won't feel any pang of sorrow at
VishinSky's death. The BRAIN
washing to which they were sub
jected was the product of the
purge trials in which he played
SO great a part. His victims. in
Moscow, were the first to suf-
fer brain-washing. That is about
the only legacy he left behind
him and it is a sordid epi-
taph. Vishinsky, in short, was
thoroughly no good, because he
had great talents and he sold
them to the highest bidder. If
you kids will never forget that,
then at least his death will be
cheated of dangerous propa-
ganda value.
