|Suburbun's Cost Figures
Challenged at Hearing

BALTIMORE, Jan. 20 R.-
The Suburban Transit Co. plead
ed yesterday it would barely
make ends meet even If allowed
to raise fares in Maryland. Oppo-
Inents said the firm is making a
IS per cent return without the
raise.
These contrasting pictures of
the company's financial struc-
ture emerged from a mass of
exhibits presented at a public
hearing before the Public Serv-
ice Commission.
The difference seemed to boil
down to this:
Legal and accounting experts
hired by Thomas Parran, jr., sole
owner Of the bus line serving
Washington and suburban Mary
land. estimated the company's
property value at s326.750. They
said its profits after taxes and a
$l2, 900 salary for Mr.. Parran last
year came to $9.470.97, or 2.89
per cent.
Opponents contended the rate
base should be considered only
$65.270 in stead of more than
100000. They said the COM
pany's real net operating income
was closer to $22. O00-or IS per
cent.

The company's figures also
were defended by its accountant,

morning session.
E. Edward Mclean, chieft au-
ditor for the PSC. sharply criti-
cized the firms accounting rec

OF the afternoon.
He said such items as $3.50, 900
for q garage and parking area

in Suburban's estimate Of its
property values because it owns
neither.

At one stage Of the hearing,
PSC Chairman Stanford Hoff
noted that Suburban's estimate
or profits was based only on
Maryland profits charged against
the cost of operations in Mary

Con Of Beer Stumps
Mine Disposal Reunion

Alumni Association in the Sher.
aton-Park Hotel.
These were 100 Of the 1000
volunteers who risked life and
limb from Tokyo to London to
save lives and ships. Early In
the war they spent 10 weeks at
American University and the
Naval Gun Factory here in the
study of bombs and mines. Not
only did they learn about ours,
but they were taught the tricks
of the enemy's.
Peacetime Problem
The problem last night, q
cinch for the boys" about q
dozen years ago, arose some-
thing like this:
Len Kaplan. president, Of 1902
South Capitol street. had sug-
Igested a round Of drinks to get
things going.
"Whatll you have?" he asked.
"A beer or otherwise2" The re-
plies. Of course. varied and the
president. a mine man, turned
toward the bar.
"Gadl" he announced sud.
denly, II don't have @ can
opener"
There wasn't dismantler
present who could help him out.
I'VE didn't study beer cans at
American IT," bomb man said.
How about you mine guys
from the Naval Gun Factory"
One valiant soul turned down
a bid to use his teeth as a can
opener, "a trick I used to pull"
But he did try to uncap a bottle
"in the old way" That failed,
too. The winners Of many medals
finally called the desk, and the
party got under way.
Closest Call
Gone we're the vivid accounts
Iof my closest call"
"The closest call I ever had"
a citation winner insisted, was
a call to mess"
\ He didn't hesitate, however, TO
speak Of his former "buddies.D
He remembered one in particu.
lar, who swan 3 miles under
water to reach a lighthouse and
put 1t to the torch so a fleet Of
allied ships could pass safely.
And there he was" he said,
standing near the lighthouse
smoking a cigarette while shells
sped past his head"
The session last night was
preceded by a fishing trip-with-
out speargun and fiappers-off
the New Jersey coast.

Blast Damages
White Pastors
Alabama Home

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. rs
(R.-An explosion early today
damaged the home of a young
white minister who has been ac-
tive in Montgomery's eight
month-old Negro bus boycott.
Police said it resulted from q
dynamite bomb.
No one was injured, however,
because the Rev. Robert Graetz
and his family were away from
home. Police Chief G. ]. Rup-
lpenthal said neighbors told him
the family has been out Of town
since Sunday.
Mr.. Graetz. q. is white pastor
of the all-Negro Trinity Lutheran
Church. His home adjoins the
church in q Negro residential
section.
Active in Boycott
The young clergyman has ac-
lively supported Negro bus boy
cotters who have refused to ride
Segregated city buses since last
December 5. He is a member Of
the Montgomery Improvement
Association, an organization
composed mostly of Negroes sup
porting the boycott, and has used
his personal car to give rides to
Negroes to and from work.
Chief Ruppenthal said he
could give no explanation i'm
mediately for the violence.
The dynamiting came just over
a day after meeting of the
Montgomery Council on Human
Relations. of which Mr.. Graetz
is a member.
1 Mr.. GraetZ, as program chair
man, invited white ministers Of
!, the city to attend the meeting
Thursday night to hear a Negro
clergyman, Rev. Martin Luther
King. jr., tell "his side of the
story" on the bus boycott. White
ministers declined to attend the
meeting. Whether or not Mr..
Graetz attended Thursday nights
meeting was not Immediately
known.
Third Blast Incident
j The council is a bi-racial group
interested in promoting better
race relations.
Mr.. Ruppenthal said the ex-
lplosion knocked out several
windows in Mr.. Graetz' home and
blew the lock off the front door.
He said it left a hole in the
front yard "about big enough to
Iput a two-gallon bucket In"

such incident since the bus boy
colt began. An explosion dam.
