Capital Transit Elects
Donohue, Gen. Morris
To Serve on Board
Two Picked to Represent
Public; Selection Is
Criticized by Weston

Two prominent Washington
residents today were elected
directors of the Capital Transit
Co. to represent the public in
terest.
They are F. Joseph Donohue,
attorney and former chairman
of the Board of District Commits
sioners, and 1t. Gen. William
H. H. Morris, jr., u. S. A. retired,
who had a long and distin-
guished Army career. He has
lived here since 1890.
The move carried out one of
the promises made by the Wolf
son management of the CTC
in the August 6 Memorandum
of Understanding" with the Pub
lie Utilities Commission that led
to an end of litigation over the
company's dividend and related
financial policies.
It also was in line with one
of the proposals of the Payne
subcommittee of the Senate Dis
trict Committee which last year
made nine-month investiga-
ton of the CTC and other
mass transit companies serving
Washington. The Payne group
proposed legislation to require
the CTC to name three of
its Is directors from among
Washington citizens as public
representatives" The Senate Dis
trict Committee deferred action
on that measure although it
gained Senate passage of other
measures stemming from the
Payne subcommittee inquiry.
Weston Hits Choice.
The election of the two new
directors brought a quick ad-
verse reaction from one member
of the Public Utilities Commits
sion, Robert M. Weston.
He issued a press statement
objecting to the election of Mr..
Donohue because of what he
termed "his long-standing inti-
mate acquaintance" with Louis
E. Wolfson, chairman of the
c. T. C. board and it's principal
stockholder.
AS to Gen. Morris, Mr.. Weston
said that so far as he knows the
generals Army career did not
include any experience in .corpo-
rate finance or "any basis for
evaluating the current perform
ance by transit management of
it's public obligations.
Mr.. Weston protested also that
the two new directors were
named without any co-ordina-
tiof with the utilities commits

troller, who has resigned.
Mr.. Donohue said one of his
prime objectives and considera-
tions would be to seek to in
crease the use of mass transit
vehicles.

1851 Pupils Requesi
Immediate Shifts in
Elementary Schools
All Enrolled Lost Yeor
And Most Are Negroes,
Coming Announces
By james 6. Deone

School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing today announced that 1881
elementary school pupils have
asked for immediate transfers to
schools they are entitled to at
tend under racial integration.
DR.. Corning also disclosed that
by next week almost 1000 SINH
lar transfers will have been ap-
proved on the secondary level.
Transfer of 423 Negro Junior
high pupils to formerly all-white
schools has been ordered by
next Monday, he announced.
And officials have now approved
511 senior high transfers. The
previously announced high
school total was 436.
Most of the transfers involve
Negro children moving to for
mer white schools, and all in
VolVe cnlldren enrolled last year.
New School Boundaries.
The new system this fall drew
up new school boundaries merg-
ing the former colored and white
divisions. These non-racial
boundaries took effect when
school reopened for new pupils,
but not for those enrolled last
year.
Recently officials decided to
put the new boundaries in effect
for the old pupils, too. Those
finding themselves in a different
school zone under the new
boundaries can move if they
wish. 1t is these pupils who have
been invited to request transfer.
Principals turned in the 2,361
transfer requests on the ele-
mentary level last Monday. DR..

| And yet. in spite of the delib-
crate ban on dramatics. there is
no doubt in London today that
a real drama is being played out
here. Most of the critics agree
with the Judgment of Belgian
Foreign Minister Paul-Henri
Spaak-that the complete sue
cess of the London conference
is assured and a new departure
made on the road to a united
Europe"
The European powers repre-
sented here can take their share
of the credit. Partial success of
the conference seemed sure when
an agreement was reached on
the idea of using the Brussels
treaty organization as the skele-
ton for a new military and po-
litical structure in which Ger
many and Italy could take their
places. The probability was
strengthened by the next deci-
sion: That limitation of armed
forces and ornaments should
take place within the Brussels
treaty framework.
Turning Point Reached.
But as German Chancellor
Adenauer was quick to point
out the real turning point of the
conference came with statements
of United States Secretary of
State Dulles and British Foreign
Secretary Eden yesterday after
noon. Between them, they
promised more than a happy
ending to the London confer
ence. They also insured so far
as anything in the field of
politics can be sure that the
decisions made here will quickly
be put into effect.
The reason is that. each in it's
own way. the statements of Mr..
Dulles and Mr.. Eden marked
the turning point in the policies
of the British and American
governments, committing them
for the first time in whole
hearted support of the new ex-
pertinent on which Western
Europe is launched.
Mr.. Dulles statement, as it
is being interpreted here, marks
an end of a period of bitter
ness and Illustration which has
clouded American participation
in Western Europe since before
the rejection of Edo. It also
seems to reflect decision to CO.
operate with the new leader
ship in France and reject the
rash remedies that have been
under consideration in the
course of Washington,s "agoniz-
ing reappraisal." Admittedly
the Secretary's speech was a
ble-barreled proposition in
which the threat almost out
weighed the promise. In the
present hopeful atmosphere,
however, it is the positive side
of the statement that is being

BrowneII IbarsMeroe|
OF Youngstown and
Bethlehem Steel
Proposal Is Adjudeed
As Illegal Reduction
Of Firms Competition
By james z. Roper

Attorney General Brownell to.
day blocked a proposed merger
OF the giant Bethlehem Steel
Corp. and the Youngstown Sheet
& Tube Co.
Mr.. Brownell ruled that the
two firms now carry on Sub
stantial" competition in a num-
ber of products, and that a
merger of the firms would result
in illegal reduction of this COM
petition.
Bethlehem Steel. with assets of
$1.8 billion, is the second largest
steelmaker in America, trailing
only United States Steel. Sheet
and Tube is the country's sixth
largest steel firm.
Relatively-prosperous Bethle-
hem, with mills concentrated in
the east, had sought the merger
with Sheet & Tube in order to
get the smaller firms facilities
in the west.
May Affect Employment.
Sheet & Tube, with major
mills in the area of Youngstown,
Ohio, has been having a small
recession of its own, and the
failure to merge with Bethlehem
may have an adverse affect on
employment in Youngstown and
other mill sites of Sheet & Tube.
The companies can appeal Mr..
Brownell's ruling to the courts,
but the Attorney Generals de-
cision, announced at the Justice
Department, seemed determined.
And he expanded on it during
a New York speech before the
Public Relations Society Of
America today.
THE department., in it's ef-
forts to cooperate with busi-
ness, has offered to study (merg-
err plans and provide guidance
to business concerns" Mr..
BroWnell said.
Bethlehem and Youngstown
did ask the department to ad-
wise them whether the merger,
in the form proposed and under
present conditions, would or
would not be in conformance
with antitrust laws.
I'VE made a careful study of
the Bethlehem Youngstown pro-
posal. After considering all fac
tors, we concluded that the
merger proposed by them would
be in violation of the antitrust
laws. We so advised them"
Mr.. Brownell listed the criteria
by which the Justice Department
weighs each merger proposal.
81 we conclude, after review
ing various relevant factors, that
the merger would be contrary to
the Sherman or the Clayton Act,
it is then our duty to take ap-
propriate steps as provided by
these laws" Mr.. Brownell con-
tinued.
I'VE either seek an Injunction
to prevent any such merger
about to be consumated or bring
action to dissolve one of that
nature which already has been
completed.
Congress Gin 1850 sharpened
the tools to be used by the De-
partment of Justice in meeting
the antitrust problems of to-
day. We intend to use these
tools to carry out the policy
determined by Congress. To do
less would be to fail in our
duty"
Mr.. Brownell emphasized,
however, that each proposed
merger was handled on its own
merits. He noted that he has
not opposed recent mergers in
the automobile industry.
These" he said. presented
economic and competitive prob
lens peculiar to the industry
and substantially different from
those encountered in the steel
industry"

Associations, opened the hearing
by declaring. 1--WE are categor-
ically against any increases in
taxation. We hope that means
will be eventually found to re-
duce tax rates.
He was echoed by Francis j.
Kane, president of the WASH
ington Board of Trade, who
asked the Commissioners to cut
$40 million out of spending
requests made by city depart
ment heads.
Agency officials have asked
permission to spend more than
1892 million during the fiscal
year 1856, which begins next
July /. The figure is some SIT
million more than the city ex-
poets to take in.
Proposed Present Limit.
Speaking in the opening hours
of an all-day public hearing in
the Board Room of the Districo
Building, Mr.. Kane urged that
total general fund appropria-
tions for the fiscal year 1856
should, at the very highest, not
exceed those for the current
year."
The general fund is the bank
account out of which the Dis
trict finances all expenses ex-
cept those for sewers, water.
highways and parking.
He noted that all of the funds
except the general fund are
technically in balance.
Cites Tax Advances.
"In recent months" Mr.. Kane
said, 1.-The tax on real estate has
been raised, the tax on cigarettes
has been doubled, the sales tax
has been extended to additional
items, ABC (alcoholic beverage)
taxes have been raised, gasoline
taxes have been raised, water
rates have been increased and
a new sanitary service fee has
been levied.
Further increases in taxes
in the District of Columbia at
this time" he added. "are, in
our judgment, out of the ques-
ton and consequently it seems
quite clear that department
heads requests must be trimmed
by at least SIS million. Actually,
sound judgment dictates they
should be trimmed close to $40
million in view of indicated pay
raises by Congress.
Fears Suburban Movement.
eve, therefore. recommend
that total general fund appro-
priations for the fiscal year 1856
should at the very highest not
exceed those for the current
year."
Mr.. Kane declared that If local
governmental costs continue to
increase the movement to the
suburbs will be accelerated and
District revenue potentials will
be reduced"
Citing a Board of Trade effort
to bring more business to the
District, he said, "We are al
ready handicapped in this effort
by certain conditions which
create an unfavorable business
climate within the District, a
part Of which is caused py some
unfavorable features in the tax
structure"
Commenting on new taxes i'm
posed this summer, Mr.. Nor
wood declared, "the public's will
1ngness to accept most of the
new taxes just put into effect
was predicted upon the assump-
tion that the increases would take
care of a backlog of needs and
that the tax structure would be
stabilized for some time to come.

Turning Point of Conference
Happy Ending to London TaIks and Quick
Putting Into Effect of Decisions Seen

vide the same American guar
antees to the Brussels organiza- .
ton as were promised for EDO
has lifted a large doubt from the
European mind.
Eden's Stand Surprise.
But If there must be some
qualification about the American
statement, there is none at all
about what Mr.. Eden had to say.
The sudden decision of the Brit
ish cabinet to commit four divi-
sions to the Brussels organiza- =
ton marks a switch in tradi-
tional British policy which can
be measured by the surprise of
the Foreign Office when MIR.
Eden's announcement was made.
1t is recalled that under the
EDO treaty, the British limited
their commitment to a single di-
vision and reserved the right to
withdraw it at any time.
This idea is being commonly
expressed: If Britain had been
willing to make the same COM
mitment a couple of month ago,
EDO would probably not have
been rejected by France.
The objection then, of course,
was that EDO was suprana-
tional political organization and
that Britain's chief commitment
was to the Commonwealth rather
than Western Europe. The
Brussels organization, as it is
shaping up, would play down the
supranational angle. Signifi-
cantly, it was Canada's Lester
Pearson who gave the warmest
Endorsement to the British de-
cision, describing it as an "his-
toric step" toward the security
of the West.
Fulfillment of Ambition.
Finally, the British decision
is being hailed today in France
as the fulfillment of an ambition
which French diplomacy has
cherished for so years. Formal
commitment of British military
power on the Continent will go
a long way toward calming the
fear that exists in France and
elsewhere of a powerful rearmed
Germany. Beyond this the en-
phasis is on the Brussels Treaty
Organization as the new path
toward the ideal of European
unity seems certain to attract
the support Of the powerful
European bloc" in the French
National Assembly-the group
which up to now has been bit
terly hostile to Premier Mendes-
Frances regime.
On the strength of what has
happened so far no one can say
that it will all be smooth sailing
from now on. The technical Job
of translating the broad prin-
ciples into practical measures
still lies ahead. The inevitable
experts will find themselves in
disagreement on many points,
some of them of major impor-
tance.
What can be said, however, is
that here in London, the spirit
of Western unity has been re-
born. The process of disintegra-
ton which threatened the whole
free world community has been
arrested and the foundation
laid for new structure within
which the potential strength of
the West can at last be realized.
