The Russians aren't much in

Dr.. Briqqs at 80

His younger contemporaries can do little
more than marvel at the accomplishments and
continuing great vigor of DR.. Lyman J. Briggs.
At 80, as director emeritus of the Bureau Of
Standards, he still is actively engaged in impor-
tant scientific work. and he retains such lively,
alert-eyed, nicely humored interest in life as
whole that the rest of us must look upon him
with envious admiration, wishing we were
blessed with half his verve, not to mention his
wealth of talents. But the secret of his good
life may not be very secret after all. AS he has

Another Barrier Broken

Roger Bannister's word-record mile is, in
its way great event. For the -four minute
mile" has been challenging men since the early
days of timed foot racing. During the past 80
years-from the era of Paavo Nurmi-it has
been a goal that was temptingly close but
despairingly elusive. 1t has fallen now-if the
record receives official approval-just as have
so many other track and field marks.
There is something more than mere sport
in the dogged persistence with which men have
driven themselves toward better and better
marks. It is something, perhaps, which SYM
boizes some of mans greatest attributes-his
optimism his determination, his unwillingness
to acknowledge that any achievement is per-
manently beyond reach. And what has been
done in track and field is only side show to
mans main performance before all the other
challenges Of life. Not every effort is a record
breaking one or even a winning one. But the
story, over the ages, is that OF series Of tri-
umphs-in sports, In science and in the multi

More Time for Transit Inuuiry

In ordering a further delay for the time
being" of quarterly dividend payment by the
Capital Transit Company, the Court of Appeals
has made it plain that this action implies no
right of the Public Utilities Commission to
regulate dividends in the way that it regulates
fares. The court has upheld, however, the
commissions right to investigate fully the
utilityS financial structure, any undermining
of which would adversely affect the public in
terest. The effect of the order simply is to stay
any depletion of CTC resources pending a de-
termination by the Public Utilities Commission
Of where the company's surplus draining policies
are leading.
The appellate court unanimously agreed
with the District Court that the transit COM
pany should no longer be restrained from COM
pleting a bond-redemption transaction, under
which its debt would be materially reduced
The judges regarded this operation as legiti-
mate business move which, by itself would tend
to strengthen the company's financial position.
But. as the court pointed out adoption of this
bond-redemption plan preceded the company's
announcement of another in a long series of
dividend payments from the accumulated
earned surplus Without the redemption the
latest dividend distribution would be impossible,
for the outstanding bonds restrict the re-
mainder of the surplus fund. The court held
that no showing had been made that the debt
retirement, of itself, was bad for the public.
A majority of the court contended, how
ever, that dividend payments made possible by
lifting of the bond barrier inevitably would
come from funds related to the depreciation
reserve And the Public Utilities Commission
has the duty Ito control the accumulation of
such reserve. 1t was in this connection that
the court commented: This is not to say the
commission can control dividends as such,
matter we deem not involved. It is to say that
in exercising its statutory authority with respect
to depreciation, and perhaps in other respects
less explicit the commission might find it
necessary to make an order affecting funds
which otherwise would be available for divi-
dends We see no escape from this The ma
jority was unwilling to forestall the commission
from proceeding with its quest for some valid
way of safeguarding the company's reserves.
AS the court pointed out, some additional
delay in making the quarterly dividend pay
ment could hardly be regarded as imposing any
hardship on the companyS stockholders, par
ticularly the Wolfson majority. If the delay
will enable the Public Utilities Commission to
find legal way to protect the company's fl
nances from being weakened by policies which
subordinate the public interest to everything
else, the stay will have been fully justified.
