Employers in DC. Facing
Hiqher Cost in Accidents

employers have been seeking
adoption of a separate District
law.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee intro
duced such a bill a year ago.
and hearings were held on it by
a House subcommittee. Then
! the bill was shelved as having no
chance of passage.
Merchant members of the
Board of Trade continued tleil
fight for a separate District law
during the past year before both
the Senate and House commit
tees, apparently without sue
cess.
I They see no hope at this point
of getting action on any bill CIV
ing the District its own law, even
though all of the States and
Hawaii and Alaska have their
own laws and no hope of escap-
ing the effects of lower rates of
benefits in Virginia and Mary
land.
Mr.. Mcmillan said he will
seek to revive his bill for a sep
arate District law but probably
not before the next Congress.
The businessmen brought out
that the Senate bill would raise
the maximum weekly benefit
payments from S35 to $50 and
the minimum from $l2 to Sl3.
S35 Maryland Top
Maryland now has a top rate
for total disability of $35 a
month. The rate in Virginia
ranges up to S27 a week.
There are lot of other diff
ferences between the law for the
District and those for Maryland
and Virginia. Harry L. Grubbs,
j., representing the Board of
Trade. speaking for a separate
act. said:
1T is difficult to estimate what
the total cost to the employers
and the economic effect of this
bill will mean to the District.
Since we already are COM
petitively above the adjoining
States, the burden placed on en-
ployers by the Senate bill would
run into millions of dollars and
have a very serious effect"

chiefly of milk prepared by
formula and served in an ordi-
nary nursing bottle. which both
youngsters handle skillfully. They
also appreciate apples. bananas,
canned human baby food and
pound cake.
They behave like any brother
and sister, Mrs. Kummel said.
At mealtime, for example, the
male likes to tease his sister into
tantrums.
He will drink his milk slower
than She" Mrs. Kummel said.
When he sees she's finished, he
pours a little milk into his hand
and holds it out to her. When
she starts to drink he pulls his
hand back and drinks the milk
himself. Oh how she screams and
carries on"
Neither has yet been dignified
with a name. But the male yes
terday was sporting a snappy
yellow sleeveless sweater with a
bicycle painted on front.

District employers are facing
increased costs for injuries or
fatal accidents to their employees
because they are tied to the
national LongShoremen's an d
Harbor Workers Compensation
Act.
The Senate, last SUNNI e r
passed bill raising benefits for
longShoremen and the Districts
private employers will have to
tag along because they come UNI
der that act.
Now. the House Education ano
Labor Committee is about to act
on its version of the amendment
to the longShoremen's act. II
advance reports prove correct its
version will be somewhat more
liberal than the Senate's.
Less Costly Nearby
District employers are asking
how much more District benefits
can be raised above those in
Virginia and Maryland. Benefits
here already are higher, accord
ing to spokesman for the WASH
ington Board of Trade. Both
Senate and House committees
have been warned of the serious
effects of this diferential just
over the District boundaries-so
far without result.
Businessmen have warned that
to step up further the difference
would mean higher insurance
rates on workmen's compensa-
ton, a great increase in pay
mentS here and. therefore, an
inevitable increase in the flight
of business to the suburbs.
The record shows that. many
years ago, there was a movement
to set up a workmen's compen-
sation law for the District, but
Congress could not agree. So in
1928 the purpose was accom-
pliShed by attaching the Dis
trict to the longshoremen's act.
That national act developed
because harbor workers. chang
ing jobs between the East and
West Coasts. were being harassed
by differing State laws.
To get the District out of this
predicament, organized District

THE WHOLE is flecked with
the rainbow colors of the
rooftopS, set against the
whites of Government stone
and marble. The downtown
pattern of these roofs still is
a hodgepodge.
The most beautiful sight
is the Potomac, hurrying
through the city on its way
to the bay. From here it, too,
seems deep green, tinged
with blue. It's odd fat-and-

nounced. The Tidal Basin
looks like wading pool.
AS the big plane drops
down toward the airport
there is enough wind to raise
rlppleS on the water, chang
ing the blue and green to gold
as the small waves catch and
reflect the low afternoon sun.
Odd for such a bright day,
there are few craft on the
river to disturb the water.
From a side window, as the
plane edges in, the river seems
wider than ever.
There's enough to be seen
to make it worth while to take
an occasional look at the city
from the air.

the public interest in efficient and
convenient transportation"
The committee report con-
tinued, The autocratic position
the new authority would have in
the rate-making field is further
enhanced when considered in the
light of the sweeping jurisdiction
over transportation facilities
given to it in other portions of
the bill.
The creation of a Washing
ton Metropolitan Area authority
Iof itself, presents many legisla-
tive problems quite apart from
those embodied in meeting the
internal District of Columbia
transit situation. Congress would
undoubtedly want to inquire into
many questions before it would
feel justified in establishing an
fundamentally of the District
OF Columbia or of the Federal
Government. with powers to
operate into. and within, the
States adjacent to the District
OF Columbia.
THE creation of any such
authority at this time obviously
is in anticipation of, and might
well be counter to. the recon-
mendatlons of the special study
group which the Congress has
set up to report on the transpor-
tation and traffic problems of
the entire Metropolitan Area
Emergency Exists
Concluding, the committee
said
1T is clear to all that an
emergency problem exists with
respect to providing mass trans
portation in the District of Co.
lumbia after August ID, 1856.
and that the present operations
of the Capital Transit Co.
are being conducted on a stop
gap basis by a company which
is preparing for liquidation to
take place less than four months
from the date on which this re-
port is filed in the House.
This committee has become
convinced that. for lack OF time,
II for no other reason. it would
be wholly unrealistc to expect
that a new private operator
could enter the picture and do
the job, even if one we're to
appear.
Furthermore, for the reasons
stated above. the committee is
opposed, at least at this time. to
the creation Of a public au-
Ithority, particularly under the
terms proposed by the District
Commissioners !"
Defending its substitution of
bill to restore the CIC IRAN
chise, the committee said. THE
committee believes that the
terms on which the Capital
Transit Co. would continue to
operate under this proposal are
fair and reasonable, both to the
company and to the riding pub
lie. These terms are in general
the same as those which the
Commissioners offered to other
private applicants.

Rules Hearing Sought
On New CTCFronchise

Chairman Priest of the House
Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee this afternoon
will ask for a hearing before the
House Rules Committee on a bill
to restore the dying franchise
Of the Capital Transit Co.
He hopes, said the Tennessee
Democrat, that the hearing will
be granted within two or three
days by Chairman Smith Of the
Rules Committee. a Virginia
Democrat and a veteran of Dis
trict affairs.
Mr.. Priest, whose committee
approved the measure last week,
postponed his request to Mr..
Smith until formal filing of the
bill and report with House Off
Gals yesterday. A minority re-
port by Representative Hessel-
ton, Republican of Massachusetts,,
will be filed later.
The majority report details
the committees opposition to a
proposal by the District Commits
Sioners for the establishment of a
publicly owned authority to take
over the transit system here
when CTC's franchise. under
present legislation, is scheduled
to die next August Ia.
Time Held Too Short
1T became apparent at an
early stage of the hearings. the
committee declared. that the
production facilities. order book
and lead time required for pro-
duction and filling of orders ttor
buses), of the two bus manufac-
turers involved. were such that.
even If orders had been placed
at that early date, an adequate
supply of buses could not have
been made available by August
IA to meet the full service re-
quirements of the people of the
District of Columbia. :
Therefore, the report said. 1.-THE
committee has not undertaken
to resolve the highly important
questions presented by the pro-
posed creation of the public
authority"
Criticizing the authority bill,
the report said a basic require
Iment in the public interest, to
furnish adequate service at rea-
sonable rates, is ignored in the
bill as sponsored by the Commits
sioners. Nowhere in the bill is
there any specific requirement
that the proposed authority pro-
vide any service. Nowhere in the
bill is there any provision re-
quiring that rates shall be
reasonable. "
Accenting this. the report
quotes comments by the Inter-
ice WithhOlds Endorsement

The
Rambler
Birds Eye View
Of Our Town
BY JACK JONAS

From 5000 feet up the
Washington Monument looks
like a needle too small to
thread.
On a clear day, from high
in the sky. the city seems as
colorful as it does close at
hand, and viewing it's great
ness from this vantage point
gives the same feeling of pride.
The trees are not yet leafed
enough to camouflage the pat
tern. The green's later on
will have less brown, but
now, because of the cold and
the latenesS of the season, the
trees still are struggling to
come through with their foil
age.
To left and right patches of
plowed fieldS-the nearby
rural effort to solve or add to
the farm problem - make
brown dots. These, too, will
burst into green later on.
RoadWayS, new and old, and
lines of cleaning rails ribbon
their way out of and into the
city like a child's first attempt
at finger painting. From such
a height automobiles seem to
be standing motionlesS.
The Eastern AirlineS' Gold
en- Falcon - a new airliner -
was up only half an hour, TAX

their city. But one glance at
the panorama of Washington,
on a brilliant Sunlit day, was
enough.
