sued to the companies In return
for company stock. The bonds
would run for 80 years. after
which the public would own the
companies.
Mr.. Broadwater stressed. as
did Mr.. Wolfson when he sub
! mitted his proposal, that Mr..
Wolfson was not advocating the
plan but merely was offering 1t
for consideration.
The plan, Mr.. Broadwater
said. received the usual critical
treatment from the newspapers. "
He added: 'It also provoked the
criticism Of some public officials
who obviously had not even read
the complete text Of Mr.. Wolf
sons plan prior to their being
quoted.
Interest in WOlfson Noted.
"From their reaction it would
appear that they are more con-
cerned with Mr.. Wolfson's per-
sonal income and financial
interests than they are with
lower transit fares and improved
transportation in this area" ("
He noted that Mr.. Wolfson had
repeatedly stated that he prefers
private ownership.
1.-THE fortunes or misfortunes
Of the so-called Wolfson group
should not be of Importance to
the community. Mr.. Broad
water wrote. What is impor-
tant is adequate transit service
with lower fares.
1T must, by this time, be
clear to your committee that
Capital Transit finds itself in
an impossible situation. On the
one hand. regulatory authorities
decide what a fair and reason
able rate of return should be,
and on the other they make it
impossible for the transit COM
pany to realize that rate"
He then submitted figures to
show that since 1947 the Dis
trict Utilities Commission has
ruled that a fair and reason
able return for CTC should be
between 6.5 and rs per cent.
The actual returns. he said, have
ranged between 0.8 per cent in
1947 to an estimated a. per
cent for 1853.
Other Calculations Differ.
These figures differed some
what from calculations submit
ted today by Mr.. Mclaughlin.
Commission officials said CAL
culations by j. w. Falk, COM
mission chief accountant, showed
an overall average rate of re-
turn of So per cent to CTC since
that company was organized in
1888
Mr.. Mclaughlin, in his pre-
pared statement today. said the
average rate of return for CTC
in the postwar years beginning
in 1916 was 3.35 per cent unad-
justed and 4.45 per cent ad-
justed. The commissions esti-
mate of the rate of return, sys-
tenn wide, for the IL months
ended November 80. 1853, was
about As per cent and for the
District alone slightly over S per
cent.
Mr.. Broadwater, in arguing for
faster action on requested fare
boosts, said:
within the next six months
almost 81 million Of additional
costs. on an annual basis, will
be added to the present operat-
ing costs of the CTC. Under
private ownership, when the cost
of producing a transit ride in
creaSes so much the transit fares
increase.
1T is thus inevitable that an

application to the Public Utili-
ties Commission for higher fares,
in addition to those already re-
queSted, will have to be filed in
the near future.
Transit systems are still OPP
Grating under archaic utility
regulatory procedures. The situ-
alton is not unique in Washing
ton. It seems to be national.
Present procedures do not make
available any method for a
quick adjustment for situations
requiring prompt action"
Mr.. Broadwater also made the
argument that ".the dividend
policy of Capital Transit since
1949 has not cost the transit
riders one extra penny in fare.
If there had been no dividend
declared to the stock owners" he
said. "the same fares would have
been paid by the riders. Further
more, even if no dividend is paid
this year or next year, the transit
riders will have to pay higher
fares because of increases in
costs. Under private ownership
there is no alternative"
Joint Responsibility Charged.
Mr.. Broadwater said the man.
agement of CTC recognizes its
responsibility ito provide the
best transportation at the lowest
cost" He said it intended to do
all in its power to achieve max
1mum progress toward this goal,
but argued that this cannot be
done alone by the company. He
said it was the joint RESPONSE
bllity OF the Federal Govern
ment. local authorities and busi-
ness interests in the community
as well as the company manage
ment.
Mr.. Broadwater listed a dozen
proposals which he said would
bring better transit service under
private ownership.
These included: Faster regu-
latory procedures; grants of
rates OF fare adequate to pro-
duce reasonable return to the
company; less instead of. more
regulation so the company can
have more freedom; faster
transit service through elimina-
ton OF downtown on-street park
ing.
Also elimination of the 3 per
cent gross receipts tax and the
bus-mileage tax and relieve the
CTC OF the cost of paving be-
tween Streetcar tracks, which
paving is also used by trucks and
automobiles; authorize an in
crease in the Scent school chill
dren fare; free the company of
having to pay the cost of remoy-
ing snow and ice from streets on
which there are streetcar tracks;
stagger the hours of work for
Government employees to spread
the peak travel periods; develop
peripheral parking areas from
which the CTC could operate
fast bus service to the center of
town. and permit the company to
operate king-size buses where
ever it is economically feasible"
Mclaughlin Opposes New Body.
Mr.. Mclaughlin voiced strong
opposition to creation of a met
ropolitan transit authority and
to public ownership of Capital
Transit Co.
"It is my belief that District
Of Columbia residents should not
be required to subSidize patrons
who have by their own prefer
ence chosen the benefits of su-
burban economies and advan-
tages." Mr.. Mclaughlin told the
subcommittee.
He said supporters of a metro
politan transit authority are

further talks between Senate

on committee assignments.

Although they have 48 Sem
ators to Al Republicans and one
independent. they do not plan
any move to try to seize Senate
control. The House is almost
evenly divided. too. with 2l9 Re-
pubhcans. 215 Democrats and
one Independent.
Gen. Eisenhower thus will
need some Democratic votes to
put over any controversial fea-
lures Of his program. Heighten-
ing the tension is the fact that
this is an election year for all
members Of the House and o
third of the Senate.
Already the agenda is studded
with issues of great potential

fenSe.
In connection with appropri-
ationS. Senator Bridges said in
an interview yesterday the ad-
ministration aims to balance the
budget by mid-1955. in part by
making substantial cuts for de-
tense spending. He gave no
figures.
Senator Bridges. chairman of
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, said the Presidents i'm
mediate aim is to hold the Treas
ury deficit in the year which
starts next July l to So Billion.
The estimated red ink entry for
the current year is $3.8 billion.
Budget Balance No. l Goal.
Gen. Eisenhower has repeat
edly termed balanced budget
the No. l goal of his administra-
ton. but he said last summer he
could not promise that it would
be achieved even by July /. 1855.
Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriation Committee has
predicted balanced budget by
that date.
The state Of the Nations econ
omy. which Gen. Eisenhower
will treat in the last of his three
major messages to Congress,
showed signs of becoming the
center of considerable discussion
when Congress returns.
Senator Kerr. Democrat, Of
Oklahoma said in TV discus
sion last night that the new ses-
sion faces bitter debate and the
problems of a "dawning depres-
sion" Saying II think the re-
cesSion is on" Senator Kerr
added that by the middle of jan
uary he anticipates that even
the administration will admit
there are 2 million unemployed"
The latest official estimate was
IA million.
On the other hand, Senator
Knowland said in an interview
that the Nation will move closer
to peacetime economy in 1854
with only a slight drop in pro-
duction. Senator Knowland, the
Republican floor leader, said he
looks for less than a 5 per cent
decline in total production from
1858, and he continued.
II don't think you can find
any economic depression in that
sort of a situation. I don't be-

White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty said the con-

rather phases on which the Re

worked with the President before
he went to Augusta for the
Christmas vacation and addi-

No Final Budget Figure.
The conferees did not get a

cording to Speaker Martin, who
repeatedly expressed optimism
on the administration program
which the legislators had pre-
viewed.
