Other Developments

Of the hearing:
Former Gov. Theodore r.

comment on the inquiry. But
he declined to express his views
on what he termed a "one-
sided hearing" Mr.. Hepbron
and his counsel were not given
the chance to call witnesses nor
crosS-examine others. so they
walked out at the start Of the
hearing.
Lyman A. FRESHMAN, Balti-
more attorney and self-styied
guardian Of public affairs,
called for a grand inquest with
the whole House of Delegates

Rise Upheld

RICHMOND, Mar. 10 (AP)
The Virginia Supreme Court
Of Appeals today upheld q rate

peake a. Potomac Telephone Co.

mission.
The commission allowed the
telephone company to raise Its
rates effective January /, 1858.
The increase was estimated 10
produce additional annual gross
revenues Of approximately ST.
228,000. Seven Virginia local
tiles. including Arlington and
Fairfax counties. appealed the
commissions order, raising the
question Of whether the In
crease was reasonable and Just.
The courts ruling has no
effect on present phone bills
since the increases went into
effect last year. The In
creases covered the entire
phone rate structure. The
monthly rate for q single
party line, for instance,
jumped from $3.50 to SO and
for a two-party phone from
81 to $4.75.
Courts and commissions

look at the record before de-
Gliding that q public utility
should owe more money than
1t does" said the courts opin-
ion written by Justice Archi-
bald c. Buchanan.
That question is primarily
for the Judgment and integrity
of its management. 1t is only
when 1t Is made clear by the
evidence that the officers and
directors are following a pol
icy in this regard which un-
reasonably favors the stock
holders at the expense Of the
consumers that the ratemaking
tribunal should substitute a
capital structure radically diff
ferent from one fashioned by
the officers and directors Of the
corporation.
"The evidence In this case
does not warrant our overturn-
ing the commissions action
and substituting a different
judgment"

THE DAYS co BY

In spite of all we can do the days go by.
Or should we mind? Each one brings some
thing new-if you have your eyes open. Just
ahead are some interesting days, looking
back few years.
Let's look at some of February's memor-
able days. On February 5th back in 1881,
Roger Williams landed in Boston. AS you
may or may not know, Williams believed in
religious liberty to fierce degree Banished
from Massachusetts, he fled to Providence,
which he founded, and continued to stand for
liberty-the theory that men could not be
punished for their consciences He founded
the first Baptist Church in America
February 9th is the birthday of Aaron
Burr, who-remember- killed Alexander
Hamilton in duel He was Vice President,
u. S. Senator from New York, and held a
number of other important Offices On Feb
ruary 7th, in 1892 the first telephone from
New York to Chicago was installed. On that
day in 1872 Charles Dickens was born at
Lahdport England.
Peter The Great died February 9Th, 1725,
and the Boy Scouts of America were founded
February 9Th, 1910 This day this year, is
Guinquagesima Sunday The ninth is the
Birthday anniversary of William Henry
Harrison, ninth President of the United
States. He was born in Charles County, Vir-
ginia, in 1773.
Canada was ceded to England February
10th, 1853. President Mckinley signed into
law the treaty ending the war with Spain,
and giving the United States the Philippine
Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam in 1899.
Cuba was freed by the same treaty.
February 18th is Ash Wednesday this
year. Daniel Boone was born February 18th,
1735, as was the eighth Chief Justice of the
United States, Melville Weston Fuller. Full
er was born in 1888 in Augusta, Maine. And
Thomas A. Edison was born at Milan, Ohio,
February 18th, 1847.

ABOUT YOUR HEART

A noted doctor recently pointed out that
Americans spend about Sill, 100000 per
year on ballpoint pens. We. are not opposed
to this, but, as DR.. Herman Bundesen noted,
this is about five times what is spent on the
most deadly riddle of our times-heart dis
ease,
This does not seem exactly right, and we
hope that Americans will contribute more
literally to the Heart Fund this year. The
purpose of this editorial is to call to your
attention the fact that the Heart Fund drive
begins in February, kicking off in the first
week and reaching a climax on February
22nd, which is Heart Sunday.
Between now and February 22nd, some
one may call on you in your place of business
or in your home and ask support for the
Heart Fund. If you are able, you should give
the Heart Fund your support, for of the
people who died in the United States be
tween the ages of forty-five and sixty-four,
each year, more than half of them died be-
cause of some cardio-vaScular disease.
And there were $4,000 persons of all
ages who died of diseases of the heart and
blood vessels in 1857. This figure gives yOU
an idea of the seriousness of this single dis
ease, which is claiming too close to one mil
lion lives year.
Your contribution to the Heart Fund will
help in the effort to enlarge and expedite re-
search into the causes of various heart and
blood vessel diseases. This research is ur-
gently needed, and your own life may depend
upon it. From any angle, it is a blue-chip
investment, and we hope the citizens of this
community will literally support the Heart
Fund.
Milford chronicle., 1959-02-06

The recent meeting between President Eisenhow-
er and First Deputy Premier Aanastas l. Mikoyan
resulted in a standoff. It is clear that both
hibted a friendly personality and warmth but both
held the line.
President Eisenhower. buwarked by Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles and the American Am
bassador to Moscow, who had been called home
held his ground When Mikoyan suggested that the
Soviet Union had not issued an ultimatum concern
ing Berlin and awaited u S. proposals solving
the Berlin problem, Mr.. Eisenhower reiterated this
country's intention to stand firm and not be pushed
out of Berlin.

THE jokes ON YOU

Dictators have established absolute pow
er over people and nations by sticking close
to the proposition that lie told loudly often
enough will eventually be accepted as the
truth A watered down version of this idea
has been used, often inadvertently, with the
effect of establishing a widespread false
impression of one of the cOuntry's most ef-
fective and essential basic industries-oil
Too many people believe that oil companies
and anyone associated with them are rolling
in money.
The depletion allowance, so essential to
the adequate development of future oil sup
ply, and so largely misunderstood by the pub
lic will come up against a showdown battle
in this Congress. Anyone who uses oil, or
products made from oil, or who has stake
in national strength and security-and that's
everybody-also has a stake in helping to
straighten out false ideas about the industry
wherever they exist.
For every fabulous success in the oil bus
mess, there have been countless other equally
fabulous failures. After all, nine out of ten
wildcat wells produce no oil at all and are
a total loss, except for such geological in
formation as they may yield. Established oil
companies earn return on their StOckhOld-
er's investments the same as companies in
any other line of business. And the oil de-
pletiOn allowance is no tax evasion. 1t ap-
plies only to producing companies which
pump oil from the ground and sell it. They
are allowed to deduct 2712 per cent of their
gross income for tax purposes. This is es-
sential to oil production because, in the first
place. finding oil or gas in commercial indus
try, everytime az oil man sells barrel of
oil, he is selling part of his capital assets,
most of which are in the ground, since the
drilling rigs, pumps and Storage tanks he
uses, are relatively small part of his capi-
~ - L
replaced and added to if adequate future oil
supplies are to be available.
And SO the story goes. In all aspects of
the oil business, fact is lot different from
fantasy. Jokes about the Texas oil tycoon's
30-story bungalow and gold-plated Cadillac
may be good for laugh, but they could add
up to a national tragedy if public confidence
in a hard-working, essential industry is un-
dermined as a result of it.
