Blue Cross
Rops State
Plan as Fatal

BALTIMORE, Dec. 5 (AP).-
Proposed legislation to give the
State authority to name a
majority of the board members
of Blue Cross could mean the
end Of Blue Cross as a volun-
tary, non-governmental pro-
gram" the hospital care plan
said yesterday.
The proposal was one of sew
eral presented to the Legisla-
tive Council. study group Of
the General Assembly, Wednes-
day by a committee headed by
Senator John Clarence North,
Democrat of Talbot County.
The number of board men,
bers would be cut from 81 to
Is, with eight of these being
State appointees.
Hilary w. Cans, chairman of
the bylaws committee of the
Blue Cross board, said in a
statement this would in effect
give the State virtually un-
limited power in the control
and operation of Blue Cross
He pointed out it already is
under control and supervision
Of the State Insurance Depart
ment.
Il cannot conceive that Blue
Cross subscribers would
want the policy-making body
of the plan to be composed
largely of persons who receive
their appointments from any
governmental or political Of
fee" Mr.. Cans said.
"The dangers inherent in
such an arrangement are OBJ

D. 6. Transit
Net Shows
6O% Gain

D. C. Transit Systems net
income during the first 10
months of this year was go per
cent higher than during the
comparable period last year.
Net income, according to a
report to the Public Utilities
Commission, totaled about
$572,000-an increase of more
than $215.OOO over the figure
for the period ended on October
81, 1858.
The report, released yester-
day, showed a jump of about
$4,000, or II per cent, in a
net operating income - from
nearly $648,000 to about $751;
900 during the first 10 months
this year.
One reason the net income
increase was higher than the
jump in net operating income
about $2l5,000 compared tc
$4,000 - was a drop in the
amount Of interest paid by the
company, owing to a decrease
in its debts. The company's
incorporating expenses anc
revenues make up the difference
between the two categories.
The company, which now has

as nearly $3.50 million. This Is
about $l.1 million higher thar
last years.
For the last month of the
10-month period, October, the
company reported a $4,000
loss in net income. The major
reason was a District tax bill

Further Cuts Hinted
At Weapons Plant
Study Follows
Recent Slash
In WorkIoud
By JOHN A. GILES
Star STAFF Writer

The Naval Weapons Plant,
which suffered a major cut
back in its workload on We'd
neSday, is undergoing an inves-
tigation that could mean yet
further reductions.
The committee also is ex-
amining six Navy-owned IA
cilitieS amid some indication
that the service may transfer
virtually all the work perform
ed by them to private industry.
1t is the second sweeping in
veStigation the weapons plant
has undergone. A special Navy
board, headed by Capt. Ben
jamin Lubelsky, made such a
survey last year. 1t recommended
in a report, which the Navy
refused to divulge to Congress,
that the installations ultimate
ly be changed to an engineering
development and prototype
manufacturing center. This has
not taken place.
The new industry committee
has been asked to study the
mission of the plant again and
recommend a course of action.
Members of the committee now
at work are:
Homer Ewing of Whining
ton, Del, vice president of
E. I. dupont deNemours; A. c.
Keickhafer of West Bend,
Wis, board chairman of West
Bend Aluminium Co..; Earl
Camfield, founder and former
president of Sight Light Corp,
and retired Rear Admiral A.
G. Noble, executive vice presi-
dent of Vitro Corp.
The members will be acting
as individuals and not as re-
presentatives of their respective
companies, none of which are
in competition with the Naval
facilities" the Navy has in
formed Congress.
1t went on to say that chang
ing armament trends, techno-
logical advances and Using
costs make periodic examina-
tionS necessary " to achieve
maximum efficiency and to re-
align the type and degree of
effort for foreseeable future re-
quirement and available work.

Redskin Pact
On Stadium
Due Soon

Sponsors of the Washington
municipal stadium hope to
sign a lease contract with the
Redskins professional football
team within a week.
This was reported last night
by George F. Shea, chairman
of the Armory Board, which
has responsibility for construc-
ton and operation of the pro-
posed 50.000-seat stadium.
Mr.. Shea said he "antici-
pateS that the contract will be
signed in the very near future, "
and hopes it will be within a
week.
After a closed meeting of the
board in Commissioner Robert
E. Laughlin's Office, Mr.. Shea
said some details of the lease
contract with George P. Mar
shall, president of the Redskins,
have not yet been worked out.
He declined to specify the
items.
The Armory Board and Mr.
Marshall have agreed that the
club is to pay a fee of 10 per
cent on the first $5O0,000 of
gate receipts, less admission
tax, and Is per cent on any
amount over that. The lease
would run for 80 years.
Last night Mr.. Shea said the
board hopes to begin contract
negotiations shortly with CAL
win Griffith, president of the
Washington Senators baseball
club. Mr.. Griffith has indicated
he is interested in signing a
lease agreement.
Construction is scheduled to
begin next spring on the sta
dium, which will go up on a
site near the Armory and the

14th St. Span
ToCost Less
Than lis Twin
Moior Savings
Resulted From
Draw Elimination

The new Virginia bound
Fourteenth street bridge is
scheduled to cost substantially
less than did the 1948 inbound
Fourteenth street span. despite
an estimated rs per cent in
crease in construction costs
during this 11-year period.
The cost comparison was
noted yesterday by District
Highway Director Harold l..
Aitken, who attributed tn e
cheaper cost for the new bridge
to three factors.
A major item, Mr.. Aitken
said, is that the 1948 north
bound bridge has a draw span,
and savings were made by de-
signing the new bridge as a
fixed span.
Improved Techniques Used
The contracts for the north
bound bridge totaled about $5,-
GAS, 900, approximately $685.
900 more than those recently
awarded for the new George
Mason Memorial Bridge. These
figures do not include the cost
Of the bridge approaches.
Another factor in the reduced
costs, Mr.. Aitken said, is that
less structural steel will be
needed for the new bridge
because of improved techniques
in steel construction work.
Finally, he said, the High
way Department saw to it that
there would be more competi-
ton in the bidding for the
construction work on the bridge
than was the case in 1948. The
highway department this time
called for bids on two alternate
designs, one for concrete and
the other steel.
Total of 27 Bids
Mr.. Aitken pointed out that
| in l948 five bids were received
for the superstructure and two
for the substructure. In con-
trast, he said, the Highway De-
partment received Is bids for
the substructure and IL for the
superstructure on the Virginia
bound span.
Work is to start January 4
on the new span, which will re-
place the old south-bound

port Act, according to William
L. Kahler, States attorney for
the county.
He said this eliminates the
need for a warrant to initiate
court action. A mother, in
stead. petitions Prince Georges
Circuit Court for payment.
The courts determination then
is forwarded to District Off
cials, who bring the father
into Municipal Court to learn
the decision.
Mr.. Daley said the number
of Prince Georges warrants
was just too much work for
the fugitive squad. The four
or five men in the squad
handle more than 1000 war
rants a year, he said. In some
cases, the county has failed
to act against fathers after
District police have gone to
the trouble of serving the non

declared.
He emphasized that the Dis

educational PHILOSOPHERS.
She said she had taken a
beating" in serving on the

many qualified people shun
public service out of fear of
the attacks to which they may
be subjected.
Mrs. Campbell is the mother
of four children and the wife
of Edmund D. Campbell, a we'll
known Washington attorney
and former chairman of the
County Board.
During her two past terms
on the School Board, she sup
ported the investment of more
than $40 million in the expan-
sion of the school system.
A former dean of Mary Bald
win College in Staunton, Va,
she has amassed a consider
able experience in education.
Husband Criticized Peck
AS a School Board member,
she defended sex education in
public schools. Mrs. Campbell
is a member of numerous civic
organizations and has been
specially active in the League
of Women Voters.
On the current School Board
she will serve with Robert A.
Peck, a man whom her hus-
band denounced in the 1857
political campaign as "a grave
threat to the Arlington school
system"
DR.. Joy has served on the
school board since 1948 and
Mr.. Stockard since 1856. Each
has been chairman.
Last year both voted to COM
