Lawyer for Burmun Declares

Commissioners would provide for
certain definite benefits for the
Burman operation.
Ask Tax Cutback
First. the new management
would receive q fare increase to
cover labor costs and q reason
able return to stockholders.
The District gross receipts tax
on the company. now about
$400, 900. would be reduced to 10
per cent Of the present amount
for I'VE years. Removal OF
street car tracks, part Of Capital
Transit's obligations with can
collation. of the franchise. would
be a responsibility Of the city
government rather than Of the
company. The company also
would be relieved of the expense
of snow removal.
Mr. Burman has developed
about six shopping centers in the
Washington area. Another of
his activities has been to buy
antiquated grammar school
buildings and rehabilitate them.
One such in the Southwest area
Is now used by q labor union as

Louis Burman, head Of Bur-
man Properties, who has been
mentioned in connection with
the sale Of Capital Transit Co.,
called on the District Commits
|sioners August 4, to discuss
IBurman operation Of the transit
property. He had previously
conferred with Louis e. Wolfson,
Capital Transit board chair
man. In New York.
Harold j. Nussbaum of the
law firm Of Lubar. Nussbaum
& LII. representing MIR. Bur-
man, said he believes no price
was settled on in Mr.. Burman's
conversation with Mr.. Wolfson.
Mr.. Burman was not Immediate
Ily available.
Mr.. Nussbaum commented
that the price of $l4.4 million.
equal to SIS a share for Capital
Transit stock. was lower than
previous figures Mr.. Wolfson
had mentioned publicly.
In Mr.. Burmar's discussions,
he said. the price had been left
open for an appraisal.
Appraisal Essential
mfr. Burrnan wouldn't buy a
property unless he had an APP
|praisal," Mr.. Nussbaum said
He added that the ultimate figure
probably would be worked out
at somewhere between $40 mil
lion and SIS million. He COM
Imented, also. that Capital Tran
sit Is no longer q going concern
and that its franchise will lapse
in q years time.
In calling on the Commissioners
Mr.. Burman said he asked for
a letter of intent showing that

81 to be held In two or three

Mr.. Strauss made his state

for-peace conference, including
members Of the Joint Congress

He said II would be out Of

ing but added that the United

Nations presumably would initi-
ate q proposal Sin due course. \
Mr.. Strauss said that the dis
cussions here and the informal
contacts between atomic experts
would produce In the next two
years much progress and many
new discoveries in this field.
President Eisenhower, who
has been kept informed Of the

This includes the "a million

this can be worked out in an
agreement among the company,
the union and the bank serving

But the problem OF guarantee

No Profit Provision
In figuring any new fare In.
crease for offsetting additions
labor costs. the Public Utilitie,
Commission win not have to TAXI
into consideration either prom
for the company, or allowances
| for Federal income taxes.
This results from the fact thai
the contract, as set out by Con.
gress, win not provide for an,
return on investment for thu
final year Of Capital Transit
operation.
Because Of the non-profit con.
lsideration, the PUG will not hay,

vestment In buses, streetcars
tracks. car barns and the like
This eyaluation usually serves a
the barometer for how much
profit the company should b
allowed and consequently how
high the fares should be set.
IN setting fares. the PUG also
normally has to allow for 50 pei
cent Federal income taxes on

entitled to 81 million profit, II
must set fares to yield more
than 81 million to allow for the
tax bite. But II no allowance Il
made for profit the last year,
neither viii allowance be neces-
lsary for income taxes.
The effect Of all this will be to
reduce the amount the Commits
sioners and PUG must allow for
in setting fares to cover in
creased labor costs for settling
the strike. Il also reduces the
chances the taxpayer viii have
to foot any operating losses dur

$l.3 million for a return Of SO

will take up the proposed in

ON THE AIR

Jack Carson has played some
mutton heads during. his screen
and TV career. but don't let that
fool you. The comic, who has
been appearing on NBC-TV this
season on Red Buttons Fridays
off, puts serious thought into
his work. He is no man to fight
a trend and il 1t demands q
change of him, a change is what
he will provide.
Once Mr.. Carson-this was
back In his. radio days--was
quoted as heartily In favor of
assailing the studio audience
with what are known as sight
gags. 1t was perfectly legitimate,
he declared. for a comic to lose
his trousers or indulge in other
slapstick to get laughs that
might give the folks at home the
notion that someone was having
a whale of a time.
TeleviSion seems to have
changed Mr.. Carson's mind.

says, Il think the drop-your-
pants style of comedy has burned
itself out. Teleyiewers, already
exposed to every conceivable

Gated comedy wise"
The beaded brow does not
always indicate honest toll in a
worthy cause, either. Mr.. Carson
feels. The idea today is to relax
and do comedy the easy way
easy, that is. on the surface
exposed to the audience.
"A fall doesn't make the home
viewer howl the way 1t used to-
Carson declares. when a Co

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS-

wire service story on Tuesday,
Warner Bros. and the American
Broadcasting Co., made it Of
fetal. The fiIm. studio win pro-
duce q series Of 80 weekly hour
long TV shows for the Tv net
work, the first to be telecast In
September. What made it dra-
matte in the Offices Of TV col
umniSts was the arrival Of long
twin announcements. One was
from the publicity department
Of the motion picture studio that
was suspicious OF TV for years,
the other was from the publicity
department of the television net
work. They were identical, word
for word and comma for comma.
II Is the first time THAT ever
has happened and 1t is o mighty
startling thing to encounter.
The nature Of the Warner
Bros. plans for this TV series
was disclosed in this column
back on March ~. The shows
will be in three different cate
gories. each taking its name
from a Warner Bros. feature
film. The one titled Casa

stories, Kings Row" will mean
romance, Cheyenne" will cover
the Westerns. They usually viii
