BALTIMORE. Jan. IL (R.-
The Public Service Commission
has postponed until January 25
further action on the Suburban
Transit Co.'S request for in.
creased zone fares In the Mary
land suburbs of Washington.
The postponement was or
dered to give commission
auditors time to examine new
financial exhibits filed by the
company at a hearing yesterday
Thomas Parran, ir., sole pro-
prietor of the transit firm, is
asking for increases Of S to 10
cents in zone fares on suburban
routes from Silver Spring to
Rockville. Bethesda, Ashton and
College Park.
Operating at Loss
Mr.. Parran told the commits
sion yesterday the company is
now operating Elm the red" 1T
lost $6.450.41 in the quarter
ended September 81. 1955-and
that there is nothing but
doom" for the firm if the losses
continue.
His auditor, Robert L. Willard
of Wheaton. estimated the in
creased fares on intra State
rides would add $19,885 annually
to the company's revenues. This,
together with $25,613 additional
fares on interstate trips allowed
by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. would allow Mr..
Parran a $4,000 salary and
provide funds to purchase
needed equipment.
The Interstate Commerce
Commission already has allowed
the company the requested in
creases on interstate fares, and
the confusion arising from the
in fares to inter State
and intra-State passengers has
resulted in embarrassment to
the company. Mr.. Parran said.

Here's What Economists Mean
By Gross National Product

What is the gross national prod
uct and how does 1t relate to the
average American and the way he
lives?
First. you total up the value Of
everything made and done In the
United States in 1855. This is the
gross national product, estimated
at a record-breaking 1894 billion.
From this you deduct capital
consumption allowances" which In
clude depreciation charges against
capital equipment. payments for
damage to fixed capital, and similar
items. Last year this amounted to
1923 billion, leaving the met ma
tional product"-$355.1 billion.
Taking away indirect business
taxes and q few minor items, you
are left with the national income"
last year 1922 billion.
From this figure are deducted
corporate profits, inventory adjust
ments and contributions for social
insurance, and to the remainder are
added Government transfer pay
ments. net interest paid by the Gov
eminent, private industry dividends
and. business transfer payments.
The result, $303.1 billion, Is personal
income.
But this is not what the Ameri-
can people collectively may spend.
Out Of this must come about $34
billion In taxes, leaving $269.2 bill
lion In "disposable personal in
come" This is what Americans had
to spend last year.

The political season Is the head
ache season for the Nations radio
and television executives. for those
men must by law be meticulously
fair in granting time to all candi-
dates, Democrat, Republican or
Greenbacker, and to all political
PHILOSOPHERS.
The broadcasters' troubles have
already started. When President
Eisenhower decided to address the
Republican Embarrassing dinners 10
days ago the networks were offered
q chance to carry the speech. Only
one Of the three major networks
decided TO carry 1t.
Why Just one?
Because. to be legally fair. sta

valuable air time.
The problems of fairness" and

tween now and November 8.
Stotions' Obligations
Basically the stations have two
legal obligations in the political
season. One Is to candidates. the
other Is TO political ideas-for most
practical purposes. parties.

Broadcasters continually ask the
Federal Communications Commits
sion-and their lawyers: Who is
a 'candidate?" What constitutes
use? What is equal? How
many is alp?
To some OF those questions there
still are no precise answers. But
the FEC lays down the law to
broadcasters roughly this way:
A candidate normally is a man
legally qualified under State or
local laws. That is. he has fled
and is eligible for the office. It
doesn't matter whether he is q
shoo-in or whether he represents

Deterrent's Decline

Inc swift decline OF the beneVo-
lent American deterrent, probably
the most unexpected military de-
velopment Of our time. can be
traced sketchily by reviewing what
has happened in the past seven
years to four Of its principal in
gradients: Bombs. delivery systems,
bases and technology. In 194S the
United States still had an unques-
toned lead in all four categories.
Bombs. By 1883, the United
States superiority in bombs had
been drastically reduced; the Soviet
Union had both the A-bomb and
H-bomb.
Delivery systems. BY 1855. the
Communists had pulled roughly
abreast Of the United States in Of
fensive delivery systems. Their
long-range bombers could do ap-
proximately what the United States
medium range bombers could. In
defensive delivery systems, the So
Wet Unions array Of jet fighters
probably became superior to the
United States last year. Whether
the Reds have defensive missiles
comparable to ours Is not known.
but their progress In other missiles
suggests they are making q close
race Of 1t.
Bases, at least the costly. cement
runway type, are on the way out.
II the Reds do not neutralize our
overseas bases first, chronological
advancement will make them OBJ
solete. "Zero-length" launchers are
being developed. Navy missile ships
and empowered seaplanes which
can be refueled at sea will be ap-
pearing In quantity. They will use
the oceans and lakes for bases.
Technology. This fourth factor
is the one on which the future
Soviet American balance of power
depends The Communists are de-
veloping a significantly larger pool
Of scientists and engineers than the
United States, thus posing Q long,
range threat that is now becoming
widely recognized in chronological
fields In this country.
This surge Of Soviet chronological
strength has raised q burning issue
for 1856: What Is the future Of the
American deterrent?
r and D.
The answer depends primarily on
the present and immediate future
status Of the United States research
and development programs, or, as
the bureaucrats say, on "R and D."
Two lessons from the recent past
emphasize its Importance Of r.
and D:
. Germany-Hitler held up the
German va development for I'VE
months in 1913. American military
historians believe that thiss delay
was enough to prevent Germany
from destroying Gen. EiSenhower's
Normandy invasion feet with V-2s.
o Nuclear propulsion-The United
States started work on nuclear pro-
pulsion for aircraft and seacraft at
the same time. Under the driving
force Of Admiral LYMAN G. Rick
over. nuclear propulsion for the
submarine has now been achieved
and that for surface craft is well
on the way. But there Is still a
long way to go before nuclear pro-
pulsion for aircraft is q reality. It
would be an oversimpliflcation to
say that the Air Force or naval air
arm lacked an Admiral Rickover.
But this lack Of q dedicated admin
istrator was certainly one Of the
primary factors, in the opinion of
both Congressman and businessmen
working on the program.

mode all three advantages. This
might happen as early as next year.
Although no one knows definitely
about the state Of Soviet tech
biological advancement today, some
Pentagon officials and Capitol Hill
specialists in military affairs expect
the Communists to 60 into mass
production of a 1.500-mile ballistic
missile late this year. If they do
and if they can put nuclear war
heads into the missiles-they con-
ceivably could wipe out the ring of
American bases that threatens
them. Neither our Nike" nor any
other missile in production could
stop them. Alternatively, the Reds
might be able to blackmail our
allies into ousting us from our bases
abroad. without firing any missiles
ct all.

The Need

Although they are q minor
ity, congressman, Defense Depart
ment officials and industrialists can
be found who will say gravely that
we are not spending enough money
on research and development.
r and D itself costs relatively
little-only a few million dollars,
compared with the billions that
must be spent in producing what
R and D thinks up.
Here are some specific areas m
which some critics think more
money could be spent:
THERMAL BARRIER
This, Of course, is widely looked
upon as the principal unsolved prob
lem in the development Of the So
called ultimate" weapon, the in
tercontinental ballistic missile. The
ICBM will fly at from 7 to Is times
the speed of sound, climbing above
the atmosphere and then plunging
on its target from straight up"
The problem is to keep the missile
from melting when 1t re-enters the
atmosphere and encounters severe
friction with the air.

mia, at Edwards Air Force Base, 1t.
