A move to restore the fran
chise Of the Capital Transit Co.
under it's present management
was launched on Capitol Hill
today by Chairman Mcmillan of
the House District Committee
and Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia.
Preparing to introduce identi-
cal bills in the House, the law
makers said they were confident,
after long conferences with COM
pany officials, that their proposal
would be acceptable to the man
agement controlled by Louis E.
Wolfson, Florida multimillion-
aire.
Session Slated Today
Meanwhile, j. A. B. Broad
water, president of the company,
was alerted to appear at a spe-
|cial meeting of the Transporta-
ton Subcommittee of the House
Commerce Committee, tenta-
lively called for today.
The bill reflected the running
feud between Capital Transit
and the utilities commission. II
stipulated that the rate base
used in determining the COM
pany's rate of return should be
$19,012, 963.07 plus 81 million fol
working capital. the cost of all
transit property additions since
last February-minus deprecia-
tlon-and a reasonable allow
ance for material and supplies. ;
The bill also would drastical-
ly limit the powers of the utili-
ties commission over Capital
Transit. If, for example, CTC
disagreed with the commissions

Iof return had been, the COM
'pany would hire "a nationally
known firm of independent ac-
Icountants" to make the de-
termination.

dent of the Hamilton National
Bank of Washington, was threat
ened with harm to a member OF
his family if he caused trouble
before the holdup men made
their getaway.
Mr.. Shoemaker, who lives at
361 North Granada street Airing
ton, had picked up the money
before 9 am. at the main bank
at King and Royal streets, and
was driving toward the Shirley
Duke branch which he heads.
He gave this account:
II stopped at traffic light
at Duke street and North Jordan
road and a man jumped in the
right hand door. He had a gun
in his hand and said, DO as I
say and I did.
He told me to turn right, and
We drove about quarter of a
block and he made me stop.
Another man came across the
street. The door on that side
was locked, and the man with
me poked the gun in my side and
said. Open the door,
THE second man got behind
the wheel. They made me sit
in the middle and keep my head
down below the dashboard.
Stopped at Thicket
1--WE drove on North Jordan
road to Seminary road, then to
Columbia pike and finally turned
on to Lincolnia road. They
stopped there at a thicket and
ordered me to get out and go
into the woods.
They said they had some
body watching my house and if
I didn't stay in the woods they
would get even with my family.
I stayed there for five or six
minutes and went to the resi-
dence of John N. Howdershell
on Lincolnia road. We notified
the police from there"
Mr.. Shoemaker, who formerly
managed the Potomac branch
of the Hamilton Bank, described
the two bandits as real rough
looking" white men. He did not
see which way they drove away
in his car.
Car Recovered Later
The car was recovered later
in the morning behind the Cul-
more Shopping Center near
Baileys Crossroads, about S miles
from where Mr.. Shoemaker was
put out. Police broadcast a
lookout for a black Buick four
door sedan seen earlier in the
area where Mr.. Shoemaker was
approached with three men
lettering nearby.
K. Guy Ridgely, vice president
of the Alexandria bank, said the
loot was IN 81 bills and 500 in
pennies. Mr.. Shoemaker was in
the habit of occasionally making
the oickups for the branch bank,
but this mornings errand had
not been scheduled in advance.
The bandits were described as
IS to 40 years old, S feet, 9 to II
inches, and weighing 160 to ITO
pounds. One wore a light topcoat
and the other a dark one. Both
wore SLOUGH hats and were

Problem Is to Beut
Democrats in Turnout
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Star STAFF Correspondent

MINNEAPOLIS, Mar. 49,
Minnesota's presidential primary
next Tuesday presents a prob
lem and a hazard to the Repup-
licans. The problem is how to
get out a big G. o. P. vote-a
bigger vote than will be cast in
the same primary by the Demo-
Gratis.
The Eisenhower Republicans
and they constitute the great

bulk of the party herewith have
little difficulty making a clean
sweep of the delegate contests.
The Eisenhower slate of delegate
candidates is opposed by a slate
pledged to Senator Knowland of
California who has himself de-
clared for the denomination Of
the President. It would, there
fore, be a great surprise If any
of the delegates, either at large
or district, pledged to Senator
Knowland, should win.
Democrat Rivals Busy
With Adlai Stevenson and
Senator Estes Kefauver both
entered on the Democratic side
of the primary-and with both
campaigning through
the State, a very considerable
Democratic vote is expected.
Neither President Eisenhower
nor Senator Knowland has been
working here these last crucial
weeks of the primary campaign.
Nor will either visit the State.
While the size of the primary
vote will be in no way binding
or necessarily be a preview of
what will happen in the general
election next November, it may
have a psychological effect. In
1852, tremendous interest de-
veloped in the Minnesota pri-
mary in the last days before the
primary, with Republicans and
other supporters of Eisenhower
ready to go to the polls and
write in Mr.. Eisenhower's name.
Harold E. Stassen was the only
Republican named on the ballot.
The result was a total vote of
$4,000, with the Republicans
casting $4,000 and the Demo-
Gratis, $4,000.
Mr.. Stassen polled $4,000
votes in that primary. An amaz-
ingly successful write-in CAM
paign for Eisenhower produced
another 100000 votes. The rest
of the votes on the Republican
side were cast for other candi-
dates. Friends of the late Sem
ator Bob Taft of Ohio wrote his

Still Refuses
AnySpecific
Endorsement
By GARRETT d. HORNING


President Eisenhower said to-
day he would be happy" to have
Vice President Nixon on any po-
litical ticket with him.
The President made it clear,
however, that he still is holding
off until Republican convention
time in August any specific in
dorsement of a 1856 running
mate.
Mr.. Eisenhower spoke more
forcefully than ever at a news
conference today of his friendly
feelings for Mr.. Nixon in an at
tempt to shut off speculation
about a second term for the Vice
President.
He volunteered most of what
he had to say about Mr.. Nixon.
going beyond a simple answer
to a question about what he
thought of the large write-in
vote in the New Hampshire Re-
publican primary for renomina-
ton of the Vice President.
Sees General Agreement
With a pleased smile. Mr..
Eisenhower said apparently lots
of people in New Hampshire
"agree with what have told you
about Dick Nixon"
The President went on to say
that anyone who tries to drive
a wedge of any kind between
Dick Nixon and me" has just as
much chance of success as an
attempt to split him from one
of his brothers.
Remarking that he and Mr..
Nixon are very close, Mr.. Eisen-
howere added that he was happy
to have Dick Nixon as his friend
and his associate.
Then he declared forcefully
that he would be happy to be
on any political ticket" in which
he was a candidate with Mr..
Nixon.
In volunteering these remarks,
Mr.. Eisenhower said after max
ing them he would never answer
another question on the matter
before August.
Position Unchanged
The implication was clear that
the President has not changed
his position about the matter of
q vice presidential candidate
since he announced on February
20 his own willingness to run for
a second term.
At that time, he was asked II
he would again want Mr.. Nixon
as his running mate.
He replied: II wouldn't mem
ton the Vice Presidency in spite
OF my tremendous admiration
for Mr.. Nixon, for this reason:
I believe it is traditional that the
Vice President is not nominated
until after presidential candi-
date is nominated; so I think
that we will have to wait to see
who the Republican Convention
dominates and then it would be
proper to give an expression on
that point"
Republican National Commit
tee Chairman Hall has quoted
Mr.. Nixon as saying he thought
the Presidents position was "ex-
actly right"
Close to Endorsement
Mr.. Eisenhower's remarks to-
day came close to indorsing Mr..
Nixon for denomination aid re-
election. But it was clear that
he intends to keep the question
open until after the Republican
convention. meeting on August
20. dominates a presidential
candidate.
The President violated his
own ban on further questions
about the vice presidency only to

able and practicable to solve the
Anglo-Gr dispute over Cy-
prus, and disclosed that he ex-
changed letters on the Middle
East with Soviet Premier Bull
ganin last fall.
The President said he has
been working long hours-late
into the evening-on the Middle
Eastern problem. The Presidents
grave tones indicated that a
solution was not yet in sight.
Great Britain and Greece are
feuding bitterly over the future
of Cyprus, and Israel and the
Arab states warn of possible
war.
Tension Rising
Middle East tension has been
rising since last fall when it
was disclosed that Communist
Czechoslovakia had agreed to
ship arms to Egypt. The Presi-
dents letter to Mr.. Bulganin
followed this development.
Disclosure of the letter came
in an unusual manner. In the
opening minutes of his news
conference, Mr.. Eisenhower said
he wanted to correct a state
ment he made at his news con-
ference last week.
At that conference the Presi-
dent said that during the Big
Four chiefs of state meeting in
Geneva in July he received in
dications of the new Soviet eco
nomic offensive in the Middle
East.
But today Mr.. Eisenhower said
this information did not reach
him at Geneva in July, but in
exchange of letters with Mr..
Bulganin.
Was Before Meeting
The President said the date of
the exchange was toward the
first of October, before the Big
Four Foreign Ministers meeting
in Geneva October 81. Mr..
Eisenhower suffered his heart
attack last September "a, so was
too i'll to write a letter on Octo-
Der l. He may have written it
before his illness began.
A reporter asked Mr.. Eisen-
hover whether this wasn't the
first disclosure of an exchange
OF letters with Mr.. Bulganin in
the fall.
Mr.. Eisenhower replied that
he had stated before that he ex-
changed periodically messages
with Mr.. Bulganin.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he did
write this letter and had an an
swer. He said he thought he had
not discussed publicly any item
in the letter.
The President seemed to be
indicating that his exchange of
letters with Mr.. Bulganin at
least covered the subject which
he said last week came up at the
summit conference last July in
Geneva-the Soviet economic Of
fenSiYe.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-14

formally pledged to any candi-
date. A 12-man slate running
as favorable to Adlai Stevenson
who did not campaign in this
State-was beaten in every race.
4. Senator Kefauver's presi-
Dental preference vote total was
1910 on the basis of .289 pre-
cincts. Mr.. Stevenson received
1891 write-in votes.
But the tremendous and
wholly unexpected write-in vote
for Mr.. Nixon was the outstand-
ing fact of this election
ut should clearly indicate that
New Hampshire's choice for Vice
President is Dick Nixon said
Senator Bridges, who himself re-
ceived a batch of write-ins for
the vice presidential nomination.
With 289 of 297 precincts re-
porting, the lineup of write-in
votes was:
Mr.. Nixon, 21,757; Gov. Chris
tan A. Herter of Massachusetts,,
2,685: Senator Bridges. 1878;
Senator Knowland, SIG; Chief
Justice Warren, 241, and Secre-
tary of the Treasury Humphrey
! %.
Exceeds Kefauver Total
More people wrote Mr.. Nixon's
name on their Republican ballots
than voted formally for Senator
Kefauver on the Democratic bal
lots where his name was printed.
With eight tiny precincts still
missing, the Vice President had
over 400 more votes than the
Senator. However, New Hamp-
shire is a predominantly Repub-
Ilican State and more than twice
as many Republicans as Demo-
cratic votes were cast.
The total vote reached a figure
of 80,851, with the eight pre-
cincts still to report. In 1852,
the totaa was a record 136,159.
Nevertheless. the balloting yes
terday was the second highest in
the II primaries held in New
Hampshire's history.

Once, when he was walking
through the woods. a shot rang
out and a bird fell dead at his
feet. AS Shaw bent over the
creature, a hunter emerged.

IMPRESSION: Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle vas a struggling
young physician before he took
to writing mystery stories. His
practice was such a poor one
that he had hours to himself
between patients. This enforced
idleness frequently made him
drowsy. and he would doze.

Europe and it's ability to defend
absolutely on the oil of the Mid
die East. which contains two
thirds of the known world re-
serves.
Tactics Decided On
With these basic principles laid
down, Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr..
Dulles decided on the following
tactics:
1. The United States will not
itself be an active participant in
an arms race in the Middle East.
Traditionally, the countries of
the Middle East have bought
arms from Europe. If Israel
wishes to buy weapons from
France or Canada or from other
NATO countries. the United
States will interpose no objec-
ton.
Speaking on Palestine at his
March z, 1856, press conference,
Mr.. Eisenhower said: I'VE do not
believe that it is possible to as
sure peace in that area merely
BY rushing some arms to a ma
ton (IsraeD that can absorb
only that amount which IL mil
lion people can absorb; whereas,
on the other side, there are some
40 million people"
2. The United States prefers
that maintaining activities
be carried on through the United
Nations rather than through
American British-French action
based on their tripartite decla-
ration of May Is, 1850, which
proclaimed a joint determina-
ton to prevent hostilities in the
Middle East.
During March. Mr.. Eisenhower
held a series Of meetings-at-
tended by the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, among others-to discuss
the Middle East. Between 30 and
40 specific possible courses were
gradually brought into a kind of
order of preference. The Presi-
dent observed that situations of
this kind had to be handled with
great balance and delicacy.
The United States reinforced
its powerful 9th Fleet in the
Mediterranean. On March 7, the

they cut me off from all the
