Meanwhile, in reconstructine
the collision, it was brought out
that Mai. Phillips. having lost
his right engine on the twin
epgined B-25, avoided fully pop
ulated areas before his ship
struck a house just of a runway
at Friendship International Air
port where is finally came to
earth.
The house was owned by Will

ray, but was occupied at the
time only by a housekeeper,
Mrs. Herada Hunter, and her
two children. 8 and 7 years old.
They managed to get out safely.
although the plane ripped a hole
in the front bedroom. and the
Ifuselage wrapped itself around a
corner of the house. The home
was on the Hollins Ferry road,

taken off from Boiling shortly
before the BIS, which also was
on an Observation-Disclosures
mission.

emily this statement was in
tended to create the impression
that the company was increas-
ing its dividend without any con-
Isideration of it's obligations tc
the public. What you failed tc
state and what you well knew
was that for the last two quar-
tiers of 1854 the company, pur-
suant to written agreement
with the Public Utilities Com
mission. entered into in August
of last year. reduced its last two
quarterly dividends from 4C
cents to 20 per share and that
this same agreement specifically
provided that the April divi-
Idend should be 80 cents a share.
Do you not feel, Mr.. Commits
|sioner, that in fairness you
should have stated that the April
dividend was pursuant to an
express written agreement with
the Public Utilities Commission?
Finally, in your letter you
state:
"The attitude Of the present
management Of the company
poses a threat Of paralysis to
essential mass transit service
which in this year can be pro-
vided only through use Of the
company properties. If the COM
pany persists in its disregard Of
its franchise obligations, the
public order will be in jeopardy. y
In the light of the above facts,
it is difficult for me to see how
you can state that the company
has persisted to disregard its
franchise obligations. Appar-
emily you feel that, company has
disregarded It's franchise obliga-
tions because it has refused to
grant labor q wage increase
many times its net income. On
the contrary. to grant such an
increase. in the unanimous
opinion Of the Board Of Direc-
tors Of the company. would
jeopardize the financial stability
of the company. prevent 1t from
carrying out its franchise obliga-
tions and shortly force 1t into
bankruptcy.
In view Of the inaccuracies
and omissions contained in your
letter, 1t seems to me that you
deliberately attempted to with
hold all the facts from Congress
and the public.

Strike In1paiirs
Medical Care
Out-Potient Clinics
List Fewer Patients

While the transit strike has
not as yet, cut sharply into the
health of the city, several medi-
cal and hospital officials agreed
today that the quality of medi-
cal care has been reduced in the
last 20 days.
Hospital administrators report
q slight drop in the daily at
tendance at out-patient clinics.
But most patients still are meet
ing clinic appointments by using
taxis or private automobiles.
Hardest hit. according. to one
doctor, are those patients who
are treated at home on drugs
they obtain in regular visits to
the out-patient clinic of hos
pitals.
May Need Medication
For example, at District Gen.
eral Hospital the daily average
load of patients at its out.
patient department has dropped
from $50 persons last month te
316 in July. While the decline
is not particularly significant
there usually is some reduction
during summer months-Dr
Elizabeth Hill, chief of depart
ment, points out that some
patients may be running out oi
medication"
Among these would be dia.
betics who need regular shot
Of insulin, or heart patients OF

carried along on antibiotics.
Normally, these persons us,

He said the greatest decline wa,

There has been no increas,
in the use of emergency services
according to officials Of tn,
Health Department. Apparently
as one official explained, peopl,
are not using ambulances to an,
greater extent because Of a lacl
Of transportation facilities.
One hospital administrato
said the strike has undoubtedl,

But administrators agree,
that the overall standard O
