The first case reported in
Montgomery County. the boy had
not had the polio vaccine shots.
Two Other Cases
Two other cases Of polio we're
reported yesterday. A three
Iyear-old girl who lives in Hyatts-
vile was diagnosed as a polio
case. The girl, taken TO Chill
ldrens' Hospital in June. had been
given two Of the vaccine shots
and suffered no paralysis.
Doctors pointed out that II is
very difficult to diagnose non
paralytic polio cases accurately
and sometimes take a lengthy
time. A number Of other i'll
nesses show similar symptoms.
Termed Polio Case
Another Prince Georges
County child, a 15-month-old
boy Of Southlawn, was termed a
polio case yesterday. The county
Health Department said he suf-
fered temporary paralysis

Any Aid Increase
To D. c. Needy
will Be Delayed

Allowances to those receiving
public assistance in the District
may be increased as the result
of the new Social Security law,
but not before next January and
possibly not before next July.
Donald D. Brewer. assistant
director of public welfare for the
District, said estimates on which
the contributions of Federal
funds are based must be SUBJ
mitted by October /, but it would
be January l before the District
receives the money based on
those estimates.
The Federal contributions are
figured on a complicated for
mula. Mr.. Brewer said that with
the amount of District money
for assistance remaining con-
slant, increased Federal funds
would mean larger allotments
but only if the case load does
not increase.
Allowances for direct relief
are made now on the basis OF
Is per cent of the amount de-
termined as the total need. Mr.
Brewer made it clear that any
increase in that percentage next
fyear would depend on the vari-
ous factors involved.

Ipany is buying the assets of
Capital Transit for $13,540,0 900.
But the new company is also as
Stunning an undetermined amount
of liabilities including the cost of
removal of street car tracks.
Capital Transit's rate base on
which its return was figured was
around $40 million.
Action Brought by Attorney
The operating ratio is the ratio
between all costs of doing BUSH
ness and the total revenues.
The case in which the utilities
commission submitted its find
ings to the court was brought by
George Spiegel, attorney, of 723
Northampton drive, Silver Spring.
He attacked the fare increase
granted Capital Transit in
January, 1854. He claimed the
commission erred in failing to
use as rate base a value based
on the current economic value
of the property.
The District Court threw out
the case, but the Court of APP
|pealS ultimately directed the
District Court to call on the
commission to explain how it
reached its decision.
The 1854 rate increase was
bitterly attacked by the COM
pany. 1t claimed the inadequate
fares granted were responsible
for the company's difficulties.
In that case the commission
fixed the fares on the basis of
the rate base determined by
original cost. But Robert M.
Weston. who went along with
that procedure, also raised the
Question of a determination of
the rate base by taking the cur
rent value of the property into
consideration.
Lloyd B. Harrison said that
the commissions statement up
holding the original cost basis
does not necessarily force the
commission to use the same
formula in the future.

National Airport Shift
To Stote Held Feasible

RICHMOND, Aug. IL P.-A
Commerce Department consult
ant told a Virginia legislative
study group yesterday this State
probably could arrange to take
over the Federally operated Ma
tional Airport at Washington
and a supplementary site on an
interest-free bond basis.
Our feeling is that a fair ar
rangement with the Federal Gov
eminent would be for the State
to take over the Federal invest
ment with $12.5 million Of nom
interest bearing bonds" James

Mr.. Buckley was one of three

The Public Utilities Commits
sion has defended before the
District Court the way in which
lit determined Capital Transit's
rate base by using the original
cost for the purpose of fixing
| fares.
The commissions report to the
court was made yesterday in
connection with the suit filed
more than two years ago to have
set aside the January, 1854, fare
increase granted Capital Tran
sit Co. and to force a refund to
fare payers.
Judge Edward M. Curran is
scheduled to hear arguments on
this suit August 81. In view OF
all the developments since the
suit was first heard it is expected
that the utilities commission will
suggest that the court declare
the whole matter moot.
In its report of findings to the
court the commission said the
original-cost method produces a
factual and realistic result. 1t
said this method is the fairest
to both the investor and the
transit user. 1t said also:
1.-THE rate base determined by
us is as near to a precise measure
of a fair value of the property
for rate-making purposes as, in
our opinion, can be determined. y
Not Applicable Now.
Since the company'S present
fare was fixed by the direction
of Congress almost a year age
when the Capital Transit fran
chise was repealed, effective at
midnight next Tuesday, the
commissions statement to the
court has no practical applica-
ton at the present.
The question, however, arises
as to how o. Roy Chalk's new

might be determined.
