With Traditional Banquet at StotIer
New Members
Are Greeted as
D C. Neiehbors

1ue 6oaTu Ol AEhuE idSt uislt
held IFS traditional welcome
banquet for new members Of
Congress IN the Hotel Statler.
The new Senators and Repre-
sentatives Of the 84th Congress
were greeted BY Board President
Francis J, Kane: John ]. Reilly.
head Of the boards Congresslon-
al Relations Committee; District
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
and their wives.
The pervading spirit among
the more than 100 guests was
amity among new and old neigh
bors and friends in the business
and congressional community Of
the Nations Capital.
The keynoter was Judge Joseph
c. McGarraghy, newly appointed
to the q. s. District Court of the
District of Columbia. He was
the city's former "Mr. Republi-
can"
Relates DC. History.
Judge McGarraghy related
some Of the history Of the Dis
trict for the benefit Of the Is
new Senators and Sc new Repre-
sentatives-a number Of whom
are really old-timers.
He emphasized, as well. that
the community's purpose in fet-
ing the legislators was not TO
seek your indulgence Of selfish
motives" for Washington.
aour purpose is rather to ex-
press to you our consuming de-
sire to cooperate with you to
the best of our ability in Develop
ing an even higher state Of per-
fection for this. the Federal
City" Judge McGarraghy de-
clared.
Citing congressional and presi-
Dental approval Of the launch
ing Of q 10-year $500 million

this city is entering q new era
Of development.
Z He added this warning. how
ever:
1--WE are coming to grips with
major problems such as slum
clearance. redevelopment of
areas and other prob
lens affecting the economy Of
. city whose population has
practically reached the satura-
tion point and which will con-
tinue to expand into the adj
joining States as a part Of the
Metropolitan Area. where there
Is so much community Of in
terest."
Judge McGarraghy reminded
the lawmakers that not only
were they elected to represent
constituents but chosen as mem
bers of the governing body of
the Federal City.
No Partisan Politics.
An abiding impression" in
this connection, Judge Nc
Garraghy said, is that partisan
politics has nothing to do with
the determination of policies re-
lating to the development,
growth and administration of
this great Federal City, because
there is agreement that Wash
ington belongs to the Nation
and its problems must be dealt
with accordingly"
In his greeting, Commits
sioner Spencer said the Dis
trict, as a ward Of Congress,
looks to the lawmakers to take
q friendly interest in its af-
fairs"
The congressional responses
came from Senator Thurmond,

with facetitious pride Of his

and from Representative Cramer

sidering retiring then or shortly

ing to start looking for q sue
cessor, although Mr.. Sharpe said
today he hopes to persuade Mr..
Nelson to stay on the job at
least until next September.
Mr.. Nelson today refused to
confirm or deny that he plans
an early retirement. His health
has been causing some concern.
however, and there have been
rup1ors for some time that this
might cause him to leave his
post.

Mr.. Nelson, So, has been first
assistant superintendent since
1947. In this post his direct
responsibility has been super
vision of white senior high

would come in the midst Of
a major changeoyer in the school
system.
Eupt. Corning currently is
preparing plans for an admins
trative reorganization in con-
nection with racial desegrega-
ton. Plans for shufiling admin
istratiye posts-and probably
creating some new onesare ex-
pected to go to the board of edu-
cation next month.
Key Role in Integration.
Mr.. Nelson's post presumably
will not be altered greatly by
these plans. The school board
already is seeking legislation
converting the two first assistant
superintendencies to deputy SUI
perintendencies. which would
have the effect of preserving
these posts much as at present.
Mr.. Nelson has had a key role
in the integration Of pupils and
teachers that has been carried
out in recent months, and Mr..
Sharpe said it is for this reason
that he is anxious to persuade
the assistant superintendent to
delay his retirement at least uIl-
til next fall.
At the same time, the board
president said II Mr.. Nelson does
determine definitely on retire
ment. both DR.. Corning and the
school board itself ought to set
about looking for d capable Sue
ceSsor.
In this connection, Mr.. Sharpe
said he had advised DR.. Corning
to look outside as well as within
the District school system, in
cluding nearby counties.
30 Days Notice Required.
No formal Invitation TO appli-
cants will be made. Of course:
until Mr.. Nelson actually applies
for retirement and the date is
approved by the board. Rules
provide that then 80 days no.
tice will be given. and all appli-
cants-both within and outside
the school system subsequent
ly will be interviewed and their
qualifications checked.
DR.. Corning's own three-year
term expires In March. He has
indicated no intention Of retir-
ing then, however. The super
intendent, who Is 65 and has
been in Office since l947, will not
be eligible for full retirement
pay until he has served another
year.
Mr.. Sharpe said he plans to
schedule q closed-door board
session soon to discuss the ques-
ton Of Or. Corning's reappoirit-
ment for another term.
Should Mr.. Nelson retire. who
ever is picked as his successor
would rank high among potential
candidates for DR.. Corning's
post. when the superintendent
does retire. Mr.. Nelson him
self win be foregoing Q good
chance at this post II he decides
to leave.
Mr.. Nelson joined the schools
In 1872 as q commercial teacher
ct Central High School Later
he was assistant principal there
and at western and principal Of
woodrow Wilson High. He Is
a former president Of the Educa-
ton Association Of the District

AT Rate Hearing
BY Hector McLeon

Ultimate elimination Of street.
cars from the Nations Capital
was forecast today. by r. Roy
Dunn, president Of the Potomac
Electric Power Co.
) He made the prediction as
cross-examination Of Pepco wit
nesses went into the fourth day
at a hearing Of the Public Util-
tiles Commission in the District
Building.
Defending the company's bid
for . $5.7 million rate increase
Evening star., 1955-01-07

ito its $4,000 customers, Mr..
Dunn conceded that all these
customers helped pay a bill Of
100000 a year to supply 600
volt direct current to the Capital
Transit Co.. formerly a sister
company Of Pepco, for streetcar
operation.
"You can look at it from that
point OF view" he said under
questioning by F. w. Denniston
Of the General Services Admin
istration, representing the United
States Government.
Public Has Big Stake.
However, Mr.. Dunn insisted
the general public has a big
stake in mass transportation,
while the Government and mer-
chants depend on 1t to take
customers and workers to and
from downtown Washington.
At the same time, he said,
Capital Transit car miles are
showing a steady decline. as is
kilowatt consumption, as they
cut out routes and keep curtail-
ing service"
He said the transit company
probably will change over to
buses" and 1t will be possible to
eliminate more and more Of
Pepco's 20 substations which
convert alternating electric cur
rent to direct current and supply
it to the transit company at
strategic points in the rail
system.
Pepco. Mr.. Dunn said. lists the
expense of the conversion service
as an operating cost and said
Capital Transit Is not charged
for it directly.
This arrangement, he said, will
not be affected by a proposed
contract between the two COM
panies. under which Pepcc
agreed to charge CTC only hall
Of the amount it had requested
through the Public Utilities
Commission.
Hearing on Contract Set.
A special Utilities Commission
hearing on the proposed contract
actually an amendment to ar
old agreement set up when the
two companies came under con-
troll of the same holding COM
pany-will be held at 10 am
next Friday.
Mr.. Dunn was followed to the
witness stand by Charles L. Carr,
Pepco controller, who had testi-
fed during November on ac-
counting procedures.
He was questioned today by
Lloyd B. Harrison, assistant cor
poration counsel assigned to the
utilities commission, on the ORR
gin of the modified sliding scale
plan" under which the company
was supposed to hold in reserve
any money over It's allowed rate
of return for later use when
Pepco failed to earn that much.
Since l948. he said. the company
has never made enough to make
any deposits in the fund, and
the original deposit has been
entirely withdrawn.
