Board and County Board each
urging yes vote on both
referendum questions.
Cite Unity Need
Officials are hoping that this
temporary alliance between the
two boards will prove to be as
successful as it is unusual in the
county. The school board is
stated entirely by representa-
tives Of Arlington's more liberal
element. while the County Board
is controlled by conservatives.
The unenthusiastic response
by voters to recent referendum
questions impressed authorities
with the need for a united effort.
Residents who went to the
polls for the general elections
last November voted down two
out of three bond issues proposed
by the County Board. The ball
loting was in line with the views
expressed by the Arlington Civic
Federation. and the suggested
bond issues provided a campaign
issue in the County Board race.
By contrast, last week rival
County Board candidates-Dr. l..

ent Movement. and Curtis E.

half dozen countrywide groups,
along with Arlington's General
Assembly delegation, are also
backing the proposals.

SEND A KID TO CAMP

Two Unfortunate Boys

John and jim are two little
boys on the brink. They're a
step away from trouble, and they
need help.
Two children in a family of
eight. they often don't get
enough to eat, and as little at
tention as food.
Their father had stroke two
years ago, leaving him unable to
talk, and partially paralyzed.
The boys help feed him and care
for him. and are sometimes un-
able to go on community house
outings because it's their turn
to help at home.

hold duties and cooking are the
province of an Indifferent Older
sister.
Street Their Home
There doesn't seem much point
in staying in their morose home.
The boys make the street their
home. Sometimes they are SO
hungry they scavenge from gar
bage cans what outdoor lunchers
have thrown away.
They haven't been in trouble
yet. but they're heading that
way. Their school record isn't
good. They attend as little as
possible, and when they are there
they get into mischief. Hunger
and lack of a good nights sleep
contribute to their unruliness at
school. A bed in their home
means springs without a mat
tress. with old coats and blankets
thrown on top for covers.

enjoyed being away from home.

commission to decide within 80
days on any company applica-
ton for higher fares. If the
agency failed to act, the fares
would go into effect.
Extension Move Reported
Yesterday, it was reported the
city heads want this period ex-
tended to 100 days, after which
the new fares could go into effect.
If the commission later decided
against the increase. the fares
would be reduced to the figure
set by the commission.
Last night, speaking on Re
port to the People" over radio
station WWDC. Engineer Com
missioner Thomas A. Lane said
that if the franchise terms APP
proved by the Commissioners are
mot acceptable to Mr.. Bells

Congress.

Isions we are not willing to give, /"
although he declared the Com
Imissioners are seeking "unanim-

Congress is not willing to grant

The city heads submitted a
public ownership plan to Con-
gress and have backed version
approved by the Senate.
Last Monday, however. House
and Senate conferees seeking to
reconcile the widely divergent
bills passed by the two chambers
agreed to restore the CTC fran
Ichise on the basis of the House
bill if the commissioners and Mr..
Bell could produce a firm pro-
Iposal" to guarantee the company
will buy out Mr.. Wolfson.
Buy-out Proposed
Mr.. Bells plan would have the
company buy out and retire the
iWolfson stock. 1t would finance
this by borrowing up to Sc mil
lion on its own real estate
through Issuance of mortgage
bonds. They would be sold, for
a fee, by Alex. Brown g. Sons,
old line underwriting firm.
Also, to meet a requirement of
Mr.. Wolfson's that all other
stockholders be offered the same
deal. the firm would offer to buy
all the stock the other share
holders want to sell at the same
price paid Mr.. Wolfson. These
shares would be resold on the
market.

erS assurance that they will be

ask Mr.. Bell and his group to
see them at11 am. tomorrow.
Terms of the proposed fran
chise are modelled on those out
lined in a bill passed recently by
the House to restore the etc
franchise. Mr.. Mclaughlin said
the Commissioners plan to draft
a report Tuesday on their talk
with Mr.. Bell for submission
Wednesday to House and Senate
conferees seeking a solution to
the Washington transit crisis.
Agree on Amendments
Yesterday, he said. the city
heads agreed. on amendments
they would propose to the House
bill. They were willing to GO
along with provisions of the bill
which would grant the company
exemption from the Districts
gross receipts tax, which has
been costing etc nearly $500 ,OO0
a year, and from the city's six
cent-a-gallon gasoline tax when
ever the company fails to earn
a specified amount.
The Commissioners have siren
uously objected to the method
proposed in the House bill for
calculating this amount. AL
though Mr.. Mclaughlin refused
to disclose terms agreed on by
the city heads, it was reported
they were prepared to offer a
new method which could greatly
increase company earnings.
Presumably, this would be tied
to a speedup in conversion OF

which the commissioners have
been pushing hard.

of calculating earnings tand

figures the earnings in relation
to public-service property owned
and used by the company.
Used in Other Cities
The new operating ratio
method. used in many other
cities. calculates earnings as the
difference between operating rev.
enues and operating expenses,
One source has estimated that
over 10-year period the "op-
Grating ratio" method of setting
fares would give to an all-buS
company fbuying its equipment

low total investment 81 million
more in earnings than would the

Opposition to the new method
has been predicted among the
House conferees, all members of
the House Interstate and For
eign Com merce Committee
which drafted the franchise res
toration bill.
The change. however. would
eliminate one provision of the
House bill to which the Commits
sioners have objected. This
would set the etc rate base at

School Cost
Comparison Hit

District school officials are not
impressed with attempts to COM
pare the District school system
with cities of less than compar-
able size.
The comparison came out at
yesterdays opening session Of an
investigation of the local school
system by House subcommittee.
William E. Gerber, chief counsel
OF the subcommittee, brought out
figures showing the District
spends more per pupil for oper-
ating its schools than Baltimore,
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties, Md and Memphis,
Tenn, his home.
Charles N. zellers, business adj
ministrator of the District school
system. said no solid comparison
could be drawn between the sys-
TENS Of the two counties and the
District. He added that other
factors-particularly the cost Of
living in a commandments be
measured in any comparison VI
the District with city such as
Memphis over the cost OF educa-
ton.
Mr.. Gerber drew his figures
from a publication Of the Office
of Education which showed
Memphis spent substantially less
than the District per pupil.
Mr.. Zellers said the publica.
ton lists per pupil costs OF cities
throughout the United States
and has never. TO his knowledge,
Jumped the District in with
cities Of less than comparable
size.
1T has been our feeling" Mr..

too concerned with the financial
figures Of other cities. We are
trying to solve our problems
within our own financial limits"
