Kefauver Attacks
Vepco for Spreading
Anfi-U. Power Talk

In an attack on the Virginia
Electric and Power Co. today.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat. of
Tennessee, charged the firm was
sending out Government
power literature.
A printed copy of a speech by
Clarence E. Manion, urging sale
of the Tennessee Valley Author
ity by the Government, which
Senator Kefauver said Vepco
was mailing to its shareholders.
prompted his comments.
Rates Compared.
In a prepared statement. the
Tennessee Senator claims, among
other things, that Vepco GUS
toners in Alexandria pay more
70 relectric power than Wash
ington residents, who are served
by the Potomac Electric Power
Co.
Senator Kefauver said the
Manion speech was described by
Vepco officials in an accompany
ing letter as q 'forthright state
ment Of facts" and a statement
of "the fundamentals of the
American way of life."
To this, Senator Kefauver de-
clared:
'"The statement is not a state
ment of facts by any means but
I believe the shareholders Of
Vepco, and even more the rate
payers of Vepco. would be inter-
ested in why this utility wants
the IVA sold.
lone can get an inkling why
by examining their rate struc-
ture. Vepco users in Alexandria.
for instance, pay $3.50 per $50
kilowatt hours, while right across
the Potomac River in Washing
ton ratepayers of another pri-
vate utility pay $5.84 for the
same amount.
Set on Destroying
"At the other end of the Vepco
systematic 'TVA end-the same
bill for iva users is IS. Natur-
ally, along with their allies on
the western side of iva - the
Dixon Yates combination-Vep-
co is set on destroying this ex-
ample of what is a fair bill for
power"
According to Senator Kefau-
yer, before the merger of two
companies which formed Vepco,
the two firms were required to
write off more than $28 million
in ''inflationary items" from their
books.
"Infiationary items is another
way of saying items used for the
purpose of building up a high
rate structure and milking the
public" said Senator Kefauver.
THAT the day of inf1ationary
items is not entirely over would
be indicated by the fact. which
also should be called to the rate
payers attention, that they pay
for the printing and mailing of
the misleading and nonfactual
propaganda which I am talking
about when they pay their power
bills. It all becomes a part of
the expense of operation"

TEr's LOOK at Sideways own plans. In 1855
IL we will spend $90,00O000 for growth and
expansion A vital part of this program is nesr
jobs. This year we hope to add nearly 5000
new people to our payroll. And we expect to
move many of our present personnel up to
higher positions and better-paying jobs.
And Sideways plans are pretty typical of the
plans of American business from coast to coast.
Why this confidence in the future?
Well, we think it looks pretty bright For one
thing, Americas dynamic economy is expanding
at fast clip. Our growing population should
hit at least us 100000 by 1860. millions of
our families are making far more money than
ever before E. :. a food of new inventions and
discoveries is rolling in. In fact, our whole
standard of living can be one-third higher in
1860 than it is now.
But how good will better job be in 1860? In
terms of money! at least, lot depends on how
much your earnings will buy FIVE years from now.
How good ,ciH our money be
in the future?
That's the really big; question. Even if you have
good income, imitation can cut down your pur-
chasing power so you can't buy as much. That
hurts Safeway, too, since it raises our costs and
cuts down our income.
If there is depression your money may buy
more. But just as likely you'll have less money
or no income. Safeway will suffer along with
you as you buy less of the items we sell

A4A pdSo
Against Mr.. Masters four
heart contract Mrs. Keen led the
king of spades. She was per-
mitted to hold the trick and
promptly shifted to the nine of
diamonds, which dummy's queen
won.
Now Mr.. Masters could afford
to lose one heart trick, but not
two. The safety play was to lay
down the ace Of hearts first to
guard against the possibility Of
Mrs. Keen's holding the single
ton king.
If both opponents followed
with low cards, the next play
would be to enter dummy and
lead another heart up toward
the queen.
But Mr.. Masters saw that 1t
would be very dangerous to let
Mr.. Abel gain the lead until
dummy's club suit was estab-
lished. If Mr.. Abel did get in,
he would undoubtedly lead
spade and Mr.. Masters would
have to lose a total of two tricks
in that suit.
In this case it was advisable to
forego the luxury of safety
play in the heart suit-in order
to play the whole hand more
safely. At trick three, Mr.. Mas
ters led a small heart from
dummy and finessed the queen.
When this held he cashed the
ace of hearts and then started
on the clubs.
Mr.. Abel laid off the first club.
but won the second and returned
q spade. Mr.. Masters went up
with the ace and continued clubs.
On the fourth club he threw his
losing spade while Mrs. Keen
ruffed.
It is a valuable thing to know
your safety plays and to know
how to use them with various
combinations of cards. But
don't use them blindly. Always
check to make sure they fit into
the general pattern OF play on
each hand.
Sometimes you just have to be
lucky to make your contract.
And it is a part Of the skill of
every winning player to know
how to give luck the very best
chance to operate.

FAMOUS FABLES

GUESS: frankie Frisch, both
as player and manager. was an
incorrigible umpire-baiter. One
day, during a hotly contested ball
game, he kept hurting insults at
one of the men in blue.
After every close decision, he
would let go with a volley Of
abuse. However, although his
tone was bitingly sarcastic, the
umpire could find no excuse to
eject him from the game.
Then, in the ninth inning,
Frisch shouted something from
the dugout which the umpire
missed.
The latter walked over to the
dugout, stuck out his jaw, and
demanded:
What did you say?"
Frisch was not one to frighten
easily.

Negligence Blamed
In Six Boot Deaths

NORFOLK, Va, May 26 P.-
The Coast Guard yesterday
blamed a disregard of wind and
sea warnings for the boat mis-
hap that took six lives March
27 near Ocean City, Md.
Four Baltimore adults and
two children perished in the
capsizing of an outboard motor
boat on the return trip from
! Assateague Island to Sinepux-
ent Neck, Md.
The board found that the
party, in spite of warnings
from experienced watermen. set
out March 26 in a 14-foot fiber
glass boat for Assateague. The
load in the boat was such that
it had an estimated freeboard
theight above water) of only
four inches at the stern. The
wind was from the west and
the sea was fairly rough.
On the following day, with
the wind force increased sharply
and the sea quite rough, the
party set out on the return trip
and the boat capsized. The
Coast Guard found the bodies
on March 20 near Big Eggin
Island.
