AUTOS IN TRAFFIC

NEW YORK (R.-Un-
marked police cars will
patrol the streets and high
ways here over the New
Years week end.
Police Commissioner Ste
phen P. Kennedy announced
the plan yesterday. saying
the autos-manned by pa
trolmen in full uniform
will go on duty this after
noon and continue through
Tuesday morning.
The hard-to-spot patrol
will supplement the regular
marked-car traffic force.
About 10 years ago the
unmarked plan was dropped
after a public outcry that it
was "unsportsmanlike.
Said Commissioner Ken
nedy:
When we are dealing with
human lives, traffic law en-
forcement must go beyond
the sporting stage"

BY TOM BURKE

Higher pension benefits for
Capital Transit Co, employees re-
sulting from settlement of a 81
day strike this year were re-
vealed today but union officials
said employees will get less than
they bargained for.
Maximum pension under the
old plan was $40 a month. The
new plan. yet to be approved by
the Internal Revenue Service for
tax exemption purposes, provides
a maximum of SIS a month for
those who reach IS years of age
with Is years service. Longer
service can result In slightly
higher pensions.
I'VE had anticipated a 40 per

which would have raised the
minimum to about 500 a month.

PUG. Rejects
Capital Transit
Rail Writeoff
Financial Report
Returned to Firm
As Unacceptable

The Public Utilities Commits
sion today challenged the Capt.
tai Transit Co. for writing of
$1,350,000 of the value of its
rail property on its November
financial report.
Apparently based on discon-
tinuance of rail operations next
August, the move results in q
showing of $1.l35, 497 net income
loss for the month.
The company has estimated
the undepreciated value of
streetcar tracks, cable. duct sys-
temsand substation equipment
as of August IA, 1856, at $4.2
million. and plans to write of
by monthly charges to operating
expenses from now on IN addi-
ton to normal depreciation, a
PUG spokesman said. The re-
port itself was sent back to the
company today as unacceptable
because its form has been
changed from that followed by
the company for some years.
Would Show Profit
]. w. Falk. chief accountant
of the P. U. c., explained that,
for one thing, while the figure
can be obtained from the report,
an intermediate step of arriv-
ing at net operating income has
been omitted from the statistics
this time.
Without the $l,35o,000 rail
equipment write-off, the report
would have shown a profit for
November of approximately
$l54,000.
The $1,350.000 figure is the
portion of the write-off charged
to the three and a half months
between August Is, 1855 and
November 80. 1856. and it was
understood the rest was to be
charged off in monthly install
mentS.
Meanwhile the District Com
missioners again fixed their at
tention today on plans for a
transit authority after new pro-
posals to operate the transit ia
cilities here were turned down.
Tydings Plea Heard
The Commissioners and the
PUG spent three hours yesterday
afternoon listening to former
Senator Willard E. Tydings make
a fruitless plea for a conditional
permit to operate the transit
facilities here. He represents
the group of Baltimore investors
who are seeking to take over the
Capital Transit Co. franchise.
Afterward. Utilities Commits
sion Chairman George E. C.
Hayes said his agency turned
down the bid because Of the con-
ditions. Mr. Tydings said his
group had asked for a Utilities
Commission permit so they could
negotiate with the Transit Work
ers' Union. He said he would
