Hig|ey 10 Head
u. ). Chest Unit
Presidents Message
Asks Full Buckinq

President Eisenhower today
named Harvey v. Higley, ad-
ministrator of veterans affairs,
as chairman of Government par
ticipation in the 28th Commu-
nifty Chest campaign.
The appointment was an
nounced in a memorandum sent
by the President to heads of
all executive departments and
agencies, expressing the hope
that all officials and employees
will be given the opportunity to
contribute voluntarily. and that
they will want to do so gener-
Iously."
Mr.. Eisenhower, in the memo
Irandum, pointed out that in the
National Capital area, the Com
munity Chest Federation unites
six community chests and more
than 100 Red Feather agencies
Ia SAAC
II ask that you give Mr.. Hig-
ley your fullest measure of sup
port and assistance and that all
persons in authority in the Fed
eral and District governments
take a personal interest and ex-
tend their complete cooperation
to this important charitable ap-
peal" the Presidents memoran-
dunn said.
"Such cooperation should
logically include the assumption
of equitable unit goals, the ef-
fective solicitation of all en-
ployes, and the setting up of an
adequate collection method for
the convenience Of those who
wish to make contributions on
an installment basis.
ITO avoid a separate financial
appeal the USO Camp Shows
will again be included in the
Red Feather campaign. This
national and international pro-
gram continues to be essential
to the morale and happiness of
our men and women of the
Armed Forces both at home and
overseas.
"It is my hope that all Of
If1cials and employees will be
given the opportunity to con-
tribute voluntarily, and that
they will want to do so gener-
Iously, mindful Of the fact that
this is one appeal for the yearly
support of over 100 Red Feather
agency programs and the USO.
Each individuals giving should
reflect fair share toward the
support of these worthwhile serv-
ices for a full year of effective
operation" 49,

Lower Transit Valuation
Seen Increasing Return

District operations-and only 2.8
per cent on all its operations.
If conditions continue with
out a rate increase, he declared
the company will earn only 2.19
per cent in the District and 1.56
per cent overall next year. This
compares to figure of some
61a per cent which the commits
sion has said would be fair and
reasonable" for the company.
Wage Demands in Offing
Unspoken at the hearing was
a union demand for higher wages
and better working conditions
which could blow the company's
estimate Of its future costs into
the proverbial cooked hat.
The present union contract
expires June 80 and is generally
expected to trigger what could
be long and bitter strike, with
the company refusing to grant
any of its workers demands I'M
til it is assured of a higher in
come.
Yesterday the company pound
ed hard at charges that re-
peated fare increases since the
close of World War II have
reached the point of diminishing
returns.
Even without an increase. ac-
cording to r. Gilman Smith
New York consulting engineer,
the company will lose TT million
of it's riders-5.46 per cent-in
the year ending next April 80
This, he testified. is normal
decline"-which averages Z per
cent acknowledgement by in
creasing use of the automobile
television, suburban shopping
centers and other forces. The
revenue decline, he said, will be
ABA per cent.
Sees Loss of Riders
If the rate increase is granted
he indicated, the company will
lose SIS million more riders. or a
total of 1872 million. However
Mr. Smith insisted, this drop in
riders will be offset by a revenue
increase Of 9.41 per cent. rather
than by a loss which would indi-
cate diminishing returns.
Mr.. Smith also testified that
the 75-cent weekly permit. which
lets passengers travel for 10 cents
a ride. has produced 40 cents
less on the average than was
estimated by the commission wit
ness who suggested it. Edward A
Roberts, New York consultant.
The permit replaced the COM
pany's $2.40 weekly pass at the
beginning of 1854,

Stoid Army-Novy Club
Becomes Set for Movie

The lobby of the Army and
Navy Club-hallowed and or
derly retreat for retired. active
and visiting military greats
early today looked like a movie
set.
Why not? 1t was one.
For the filming of scenes for
THE Court MARTIAL of Billy
Mitchell" the staid, plush
carpetei lobby of the military
sanctuar, at Farragut place and
I street NV, was properly clut-
tered with the tools of the mo-
ton picture industry.
There were some two dozen
giant mobile mike booms. +"
:ameras and at least another
dozen massive lights in the lobby.
The movie men obviously were
being extra careful of the his
toric club surroundings. the use
of which was granted by the
club to lend the utmost authen-
ticity to a victory party"

In this scene, Gen. Mitchell,
portrayed by Gary Cooper. cele-
brates a happy occasion - the
historic aerial bombing of the
warship Ostfriesland. Another
leading light in this movie Is
Ralph Bellamy.

A forced write-down of $2.4
million in the value of the Cap
Iital Transit Co.'S investment in
property serving Washington
riders automatically would cause
an increase in its rate of return,
the District Public Utilities Com
mission was told today.
Under cross-examination in
the second day of public hear
Iings on the company's bid for a
$2.1 million fare boost. Vice
President James H. Flanagan
said the requested increase would
produce a return of TT per cent.
This would happen, he teSti-
fled. if the utilities commission
forces the company to cut $2.4
million off it's SIG million invest
ment to meet an alleged def
cheney of that amount in the
company's depreciation reserve.
Cited 6.S6 Pct. Return
Yesterday he said the request
ed fare boost would produce a
6.86 per cent rate of return,
without allowing for the write
down.
The company has asked to
abandon its 75-cent weekly per-
nit. with which passengers
travel at 10 cents a ride, and
for an increase of 3 cents each
from Is to 19 cents-in the
rate it charges for tokens. The
20-cent cash fare would remain
unchanged.
The commission, in a court
suit against the company last
year. charged that the deprecia-
tion reserve had been under
stated by $2.4 million. In a
memorandum of agreement
last August the company agreed
to wipe out the alleged deficit
but was prevented from doing SO
by objections of the Securities
and Exchange Commission to the
bookkeeping practices in volved
Would Not Object
The company, in applying for
the fare increase last June 6,
agreed, however. not to object if
the utilities commission devalued
it's investment by the $2.4 mil
lion in granting the rate increase.
The utilities commission, in
granting the last rate increase al
lowed Capital Transit in Janu-
AIRY, 1854, said the company
would be entitled to earn between
6.25 and 7 per cent.

30, Mr.. Flanagan testified yester-
day, the company earned a 3.3
per cent rate of return on its

would not lose pay or job status
by any integration plan.
The department heads are re-
sponsible for supervising in
struction and planning courses
in various subject fields. The
school system has dozen such
departments, and the dual heads
have been working in more or
less close collaboration since the
desegregation program ended
the colored and white divisions.
There has been some contro-
versy about the handling Of this
phase of reorganization. The
Washington Teachers Union re-
Gently expressed concern on this
score, particularly questioning
the status of the English depart
ment.
The English headship for the
white schools has been vacant,
leaving Miss Mary L. Strong, the
colored division head. as the
only candidate for chairman. DR..
Corning sometime ago won board
approval for filling the vacant
i post before making any new
appointment, however, and some
objected to this.
This is one of the appoint-
ments expected today.
Other Criticism.
The superintendent also has
been criticized for abolishing the
Negro assistant physical educa-
ton dictatorship and a vacant
Negro position of chief examin-
er. White incumbents already
have been designated chiefs in
these departments.
I DR.. Corning yesterday de-
Tended his stand on these ap-
pointments. In a letter to the
Teachers Union which he read
to the board, he said the physical
education department has two
men and two women assistant
directors and that this staff is
considered adequate.
Besides the appointment Of
Mr.. Woodwork. now assistant
principal at Eastern, to succeed
Mr.. Collins there, the board was
reported due today to act on a
recommendation to name John
M. Fletcher. now principal at
Kramer Junior High, as princi-
pal of the Charles Hart Junior
High now under construction in

tor of the movie, said of the

some are indignant"
A sideline remark was made
by Joseph j. Barry, location
manager for the picture. 1t
sounded like an under-state-
Iment.
"At first the club was skepti-
cal that the picture-making
would disturb its mode Of living.

She doesn't live IN a Snoe.
Mrs. John Jones has many
children-12 in fact, but she
knows what to do to make them
happy.
It's lack of money that is the
problem. The family lives on a
shoestring. Forty-year-old Mary
Jones is proud of her children,

Mr.. Jones is a laborer with the

quite expensive" Mrs. Jones re-
marked.
The children help out. One
boy has just started a paper
route to make money to go
swimming. The Oldest girl baby
sits and the girls sometimes do
a little ironing for others.
Plans already have been made
for three of the boys to 60 to
camp.
June and Martha hope to go
through the Evening Star Camp
Fund.
June went to camp two years
ago. 1t takes only one question
about what it was like to start
her talking-about the things
they made. the songs they sang,
the special ceremonies that made
camp memorable. Mrs. Jones
smiled and listened with interest

Hearing Slated
On Need for
Second Airport
Weeks Report Spurs
Senators Into Inquir
On Air Huzurds Here
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS


BY HAROLD b. ROGERS
! Chairman Magnuson of the
Senate Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, an
nounced today a public hearing
will be held soon to investigate
the need for second airport to
relieve increasing hazards from
congestion at Washington Ma
tional Airport.
The full committee decided to
launch such an inquiry, the
chairman said, after considering
a report on the situation re-
ceived this morning from Com
merce Secretary Weeks.
Senator Magnuson, Democrat,
of Washington, said after the
committee members expressed
great concern" about the dan
gers at National Airport, and
voted to "go into the whole mat
ter again to see where we are. "
THE situation at National
Airport is getting worse and
worse" the Senator said.
Hearings to Be Speeded
! The subcommittee headed by
Senator Monroney. of Oklahoma,
was assigned the task of holding
public hearings as soon as they
can be arranged.
! Witnesses will be called from
the Department of Commerce
the airlines, the Department of
Defense and any interested
parties from nearby Virginia
/ where the proposed auxiliary
airport at Burke has been stalled
/ for lack of appropriations.
/ Secretary Weeks letter was in
response to one sent last week
by Senator Magnuson, asking a
full report on what is being done
to relieve the "intolerable" con-
gestion and apparent aeronauti-
cal hazards at National Airport.
The Senator said in his letter
that his committee members
felt there was danger of aerial
collision" near the airport.
| Secretary Weeks letter, dis
closed after the Commerce Com
mittee meeting today, renewed
a previous suggestion that local
residents prepare plans for such
a project and its financing If
they have a sufficient interest
in such a project to participate
in its development
Will Act Soon
Secretary Weeks said action on
this Advisory Committee report
would be taken shortly.
The Secretary said his depart
ment stood ready to work CO.
operatively with both State and
local government if they show
sufficient interest.
! One recent step to carry out
recommendations of the Advis-
ory Committee to relieve congeS-
tion at the present field, Secre-
tary Weeks said, was a supple
mental appropriation request
sent to Congress for $2.6 million.
! This request for more money
is now pending before the House
Appropriations subcommittee
during executive hearings on
estimates for a supplemental ap-
preparation bill.
The funds, to increase capacity
of the airport. Secretary Weeks
said in his letter today. will
thus provide immediate relief
for present congestion.
/ The special committee ap-
pointed by the President to con-
slider steps for relieving conges-
tion had expressed views that
Friendship Airport, near Balti-
more, could serve as a supple
mental facility, Secretary Weeks
wrote in his letter, but added.
This may not provide the best
long-range solution of Wash
ington airport needs"
Spokesman for the airlines
have indicated they were not
favorable to the use of Friend
ship as an auxiliary to Wash
ington National.
