Million Dollar Project

A major construction job be-
tween Millington and Denton, Md.
was finished this week by Eastern
Shore Public Service crews. And
il really was major in every sense
of the word.
The transmission line itself is
constructed of such materials that,
when the need arises, it can carry
current at 13S thousand volts. The
heaviest lines on the Delmarva
Peninsula today carry current at
SO thousand volts.
A new substation was built at
Denton, Maryland The combined
jobs of the substation and approx
mately 26 miles of high tension line
called for an investment of more
than 100000. OF course, this sum
represents more than an invest
ment in materials and facilities for
sending current; it represents an
investment in the future of the re-
gion. Electric living gains ground
every year and the company must
be prepared to serve customers
as their needs increase. AS a mat
ter of fact, it must forecast the
needs and be ahead of them since
contraction takes time: the COM
pany cannot wait until people
need service, then start to figure
out ways and means for deliver
ing it to them.
During 1854 heavy transmission
lines were built from Basin Road
substation of Delaware Power &
Light Company near Wilmington
to a new substation near Milling
ton, called Church substation.
Where second substations are
built in a region, it is company
policy now to identify them and
name them in honor of a company
employee. Charles Church, now re-
tired and living outside of Milling
ton. was district manager for
Eastern Shore Public Service in
Millington for c1any years. In the
early days of electricity in Mill
ington Mr.. Church was the owner
of the plant that generated cleo
trio power.
In Denton the new substation is
named in honor of Laverty Steele,
a former district manager of Den
ton, remembered with respect and
affection by those who knew him.
AS consequence of the recent
construction, there is a depend.
able load center at Denton and a
tie to the company system at Har-
rington, Delaware. In the years
to come there are possibilities that
the heavy transmission line may
be extended to the generating sta
ton at Vienna, Maryland.
With this high voltage trans
mission line an actually. and all
the wonders of electric living
around us. it is hard to realize
that just 4e years ago the towns
of Denton, Greensboro and Ridge
ly granted their original franchises
to Peninsular Light & Power Com
pany to "erect wires for the pur-
pose of supplying electricity" The
new line passes directly over the
of the old electric plant
which was discontinued along
about 1919 when PeninsuIar Light
& Power Company was consoli-
dated with the Eastern Shore Gas
e Electric Company of Maryland.
now known as The Eastern Shore
Public Service Company of Mary
land.

Washington Letter
Emergency Case

The Reciprocal Trade Act, which
Congress has just extended for
another three years provides for
the relief of domestic industries
can prove they are being injured by
imports from low-wage countries.
But the law fails to state just how
badly an industry must be hurt
before Uncle Sam cranks up his
pu1motor and administers plasma
in the form of added tariff protec-
ton.
There is every expectation that
the Commission will supply con-
vincing evidence of strangulation,
pernicious anaemia due to NAL
nutrition and perhaps other all
ments. But il had better be soon.
The industry is still breathing,
but its pulse is getting thready.
The Tariff Commissions report
showed bicycle imports had risen
from 3.5 per cent in 1850 to 81
per cent in 1854 and in
1858 imports forced loss of sales
and excessive inventories of do
mestic bicycles and in 1854 forced
domestic production to an injuri-
ously low level"
Actually, if the Commission S
recommended tariff boost were put
in effect, say industry spokesmen,
ii would not nearly equalize the
price difference between imports
manufactured on a wage scale of
Is to 81 cents per hour and BIZ
cycles made by Americans earn
ing an average of S1.9S per hour.
But this die-hard industry be-
lieves this relief would serve to
stave off toal destruction"
AS matters stand, production
declines almost by the day. And the
fewer bikes that are made, the
more the industry loses and the
greater the ranks of idle workers.
"Protectionist" has become, as
we all know, a dirty word. But if
a last-moment respite for the bike
makers is protectionism, then-as
Patrick Henry might have said
let the do-gooders make the most
of it. But let the Administration
consider that this beleaguered in
dustry is not just plants and ma
chinery and inventory. but tax
paying Americans-men and women
managers and craftsmen who
would like to be as proud of their
Government as they are of their
l-but-foundered livlihood.

Is This Trip Necessary!
Recent developments in San
Francisco and Moscow, whether in
spired by the UN's tenth birthday
party or by the imminence OF the

have had in years of diplomatic
shadow-boxing

In the nine postwar years, av-
erage hourly earnings of wage
employees in steel rose IS per
cent. while increases in supple
ments to average hourly wages
amounted to 172 per cent
These supplements to wages
include the cost to steel compa-
nies Of payments for pensions,
insurances, vacations and social
security.
AS calculated by American
Iron and Steel Institute, aver
age earnings of wage employees
in steel amounted to $2.221 per
hour worked in 1854, while sup
plements to wages cost en-
ployers an additional 29.1 cents
an hour. This supplementary
cost comprised almost IL per
cent of steeps employment cost
for an average hours work,
which reached a new high of
$2.512 in 1854. This total was
an increase of go per cent over

Kremlin boss, Soviet Foreign
Minister Moloto~ cast aside the
oily urbanity he has been wearing
during his latest visit to the u. S.
and repeated to the UN anniver-
sary assemblage at San Francisco
the threadbare Russian formula for
peace, with the additional sugges-
tions that Red China be seated in
the UN, take part in disarmament
talks and Formosa be returned
to the Chinese Communists.
In the Kremlin, almost while
Molotov was speaking here, Pre-
mier Bulganin and India's Pre-
mier NehFu signed joint declar-
alton that disposed of any remain
ing suspicion of India's 'neu-
sion of Red China to the UN and
the surrender of Formosa to these
bandits.
The basic issues now posed make
waste-paper of the "agenda" that
Messrs. Dulles, Macmillan and Pi-
nay have been struggling over.
Our leaders should be able to de-
eide best, right here at home,
whether or not we shall abandon
our pledge to defend Formosa and
agree ANONYMOUSLY to oust the
Chinese Nationalist delegate from
his UN seat to make room for an
other Kremlin stooge in this con-
gregation.
Thus, it would look from here,
weeks in advance of that Big Four
summit" conference, that the
heads of state will have very little
to do in Geneva-except to say
yes" or mo-. And we can think
of no better way of saving one
million of our tax dollars-the
amount set aside for this expedi-
tion-than for our Chief of State
to write, wire or phone.
Nobody Repealed This Law

Secretary Mitchell But hold your

boost for a million Government

Don't Spend 1t Yet

Optimistic taxpayers may re-
call that President Eisenhower In
his State of the Union speech last
January expressed hope for a tax
reduction in 1856. They may be
further encouraged by the prog
nostications of various practical
politicians that. the Republicans
will propose some tax cuts in ad-
vance of next years election.
But, on the last day of the fiscal
year of 1855, a Senate vote ex-
tended the national debt limit of
Isl billions for another year-thus
preventing it from crashing down
to the former ceiling of mere
275 billions.
And since the year ended on
June 30th with the Government
owing three billions more than
on the same date of 1854, no one
should spend too much time
dreaming about what he Will do
with the extra money the Govern
ment might be going to let him

Foggy At The Summittl

At his first news conference In
some weeks, President Elsep-
hover parried the question of
whether or not decisions are TO
be made at the summit" confer
ence in Geneva. 81 would not ex-
pect solutions to any problem that
bothers the world to come up,
but there could be decisions on
how we would approach them. L
would hope some of those would
come about"
In reply to a more general ques-
ton on the meetings, the Presl-
dent said he thought the chances
of some degree of success are
better than | thought they were
two months ago" But he prefaced
this opinion by saying. he was
trying not to expect too much"
and added, There is obviously
some change that has come about
in the Soviet attitude"

ference climate may be shown
