NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 81 (R.-
How could a sweet soul like Miss
Minnie become involved in a
Iking-sized embezzlement scam
dial?
That question still puzzled po-
lice today as they delved deeper
into the background of kindly
Minnie Mangum. the gray
haired spinster charged with
stealing 100000 from her en-
iployer.
The charge was placed
against Miss Mangum after fed
|eral auditors checked into the
financial records of the Com
Imonwealth Building and Loan
Association where the 52-year-
old woman held a $9.000-a-year
job as secretary-treasurer.
Oficials of the firm-one OF
the largest of its kind in Eastern
iVirginia-said the amount en-
Ibezzled may reach close to a
million dollars by the time the
auditors finish.
To friends and family Miss
Minnie seemed to lead an ex-
Iemplary life. She gave regularly
Ito church and charity. For IL
years she was president OF her
Sunday School class. She aided
friends and relatives and gave
generously at Christmas to the
poor.

Virginia PEpC0
NearE End

The contract option for Poto-
mac Electric Power Co. to buy
l519-acre tract in Loudoun
County was to expire over the
weekend, but neither party would
discuss the prospects.
The option to buy the site ex-
pired originally on November /
by agreement of both the Triple
Seven Farm syndicate and
PEPCO it was then renewed for
so days. PEPCO entered into
the contracts for the purpose of
building a 100000 kilowatt steam
power plant at the location on
the Potomac River upstream
from Seneca Creek.
Since the earlier negotiations,
however, strong opposition has
been raised against the Loudoun
County site. At the same time
there has been strong agitation
especially on the part of Mont
gomery County (Md) taxpayers
to get PEPCo to locate its pro-
posed new plant in that county.
A plant in Montgomery prob
ably would be located farther UP
the Potomac at or near the
mouth of the Monocacy River.
Speculation is current that PEP
CO may soon announce aban-
donment Of its plans for a
Loudoun County site in favor Of
locating in Montgomery County.
officials of both PEPCO and
the farm syndicate today would
offer only terse mo comments"
r. w. Wilson, vice president
of PEPCO. said company officials
would have mo information" on
whether the option will or will
not be renewed.
Glenn U. Richard. attorney
member of the syndicate, said he
has not heard of any plans to
renew.
What PEPCO plans to re-
quest, If anything, is up to them"
Mr.. Ritchard said. Meanwhile
the land is still up there and
we'll 60 right on farming it."

Firm Reports
November Loss
Of $l,135,4o7 !

The Public Utilities Commits
sion today awaited an explana-
ton from the Capital Transit
Co. of its November financial re-
port. showing a net income loss
of $1,135,497.
The commission challenged
the company's write-off Of ST.
$4,000 of the value of its street
railway property against operat-
ing expenses, apparently based
on discontinuance of streetcar
operations next August IA.
This entry, which led to the
huge deficit net income showing.
was improper" the commits
sion's letter to the company said.
The company. according to the
commission. intends to charge
of the estimated undepreciated
book cost of track and line, duct
system, cable and substation
equipment over the remaining
period of its franchise operation.
IStreetcars were not included.
Normally $44,861
With the $I,350,O00 charged
off in November, this will
amount to $4,243.4s9 in excess
Iof normal depreciation, it was
estimated. Normal depreciation
under rates prescribed by the
commission amounts to approx
|mately $44,861 a month.
The $1,350.000 figure repre-
sents the portion of the COM
pany's write-oI charged to the
.31a months between August Is.
1855, and November 80. 1855.
1T is the opinion of the staff
that this write-off of property
values in excess of normal de-
probation is directly related to
the contemplated liquidation Of
the assets of the company upon
the expiration Of its franchise
as of August IA. 1856" the COM
missions letter told the COM
'pany.
THE inclusion of this extra
ordinary charge in operating ex-
!penses will result in a distortion
of the accounts not only for No
Ivember, but also for succeeding
months" it continued. Accord
lingly. they consider the Noven1-
her charge as improper and UNI
authorized"
The letter asked the company
to advise the commission under
what provision in the Uniform
System of Accounts. and by
what authority, without prior
approval of the commission" the
November charge had been
made.
Capital Transit Co. Vice Presi-
dent E. C. Giddings had no COM
iment on behalf of the company
with respect to the challenge.
Profit Otherwise
Without the 81 $4,000 rail
equipment write-off, the report
would have shown a profit for
November of about $154.000. :.
The monthly financial report
itself was sent back to the COM
Ipany as unacceptable because its
form had been changed from
that followed by the company
for some years.
Meanwhile. the commission is
sued its formal order stating that
mo applicant for a permit to take
over the dying Capital Transit
Co. franchise had shown the
ability to provide mass transport
tation services here on and after

for the issuance of a permit" it
