Dispute on Depreciation
Another dispute that entered
the hearings yesterday con-
cerned the company's claim for
increased depreciation costs re-
sulting from conversion to bus
operations. The company is
claiming more than S600,00C
annually in additional de-
probation costs on its street.

through August, 1868. The
company'S claim is based or
the fact that it will be abandon
ing streetcars that will not
have been fully deprecated.
But members of the PUG
staff indicated that the com.
pany'S claim is too high since
it will have been debited with
$l.2 million in additional de-
probation costs on it's buse!
by 1868. The commission staff
points out that this should off.
set part of the streetcar de-
probation costs.
If the depreciation figure il
reduced it would result in al
increase in the company's esti,
mated profits.
In addition to the fare in,
crease, the company is asking
the PUG. to switch its prof
formula from the present tan,
gible property base to a gros!
operating revenue base.

SCIENTIFIC TOYS are be-
coming more scientific. One
biology set contains a small
fish and a frog in a formal
dehyde solution in plastic
bags, a microscope, a scalpel
and a booklet telling how to
cut them up and see their
cell structures.
He made a few other pur-
chases and carried them
home. One of them was the
two-Stage rocket. He tried to
read after dinner, but he
couldn't get the rocket off
his mind.
The moon was up, waning
Just a bit from the full.
What a target! He took the
rocket to the bank at the
rear of the house and loaded
it with water, bicarbonate of
soda and lemon Juice, care
fully following instructions.
He pointed it at the moon.
Then came the countdoWn,
an unnerving experience.
He counted slowly: Ten,
nine, eight, seven, six, five,
four, three, two, one!
Whoosh, the rocket took
off. He could see it for a
minute against the face of
the moon, and then, Whoosh!
The second stage fired
exactly as planned.
The next morning he ex-
amined the hillside, but
found no trace of the rocket.

John B. Funk, chairman-direc-
tor of the roads commission,
replied point-by-point to criti-
cism of the Maryland roads sys-
TENS by Joseph Campbell, the
Controller General of the
United States.
COnSultant Costs
Mr.. Campbell said a survey
showed Maryland used consult
ing engineers exclusively, re-
.sulting in greater cost to the
State and the Federal aid pro-
gram. He suggested more per-
.sonnel for the State.
Mr.. Funk, who became head
Of the SRC when it was re-
organized earlier this year,
said he inherited a system in
which $25 to $50 million a year
was allocated for consulting
engineers on practically all
major highways" in the H.
year program.
He said that IS per cent of
the engineering work on these
projects has been completed
and to end consulting contracts
now outstanding would be ri
diculous" and would delay
the States program by many
years"
Mr.. Funk said the commits
sicn'S emphasis upon in-service
training will permit greater
use of State personnel in the
future.
Removal Scored
Mr.. Campbell also COM
planned that the State may not
remove Improvements on prop
erty it needs for rights-of-way
until condemnation proceed
ings are completed.
On that point Mr.. Funk said
the commission has repeatedly
asked the Legislature for the
right of prior entry and has
been refused.
Regarding a complaint about
the use of convict labor, Mr..
Funk said the SRC has been
"scrupulously careful" not to
use such labor on Federal
projects. s.

Attorneys representing transit
riders yesterday questioned the
wisdom of the D. c. Transit
Systems practice of keeping
$2.5 million in cash assets in
checking accounts bearing nc
interest instead of investing the
money so that it would produce
income for the company.
Ofhcials for the company say
$1.4 million of the liquid
assets are now deposited in
three New York banks.
Replying to the critism, g
transit company official stated
that the checking accounts are
needed so that cash can be
quickly available.
D. C. Transit Vice President
James Flanagan, teStifying be-
fore the Public Utilities Com
mission. added that the ques-
ton of what D. C. Transit does
with its cash is not relevant
to the issue of whether the
company deserves a fare in
crease.
However, after considerable
hesitation on the part of COM
pany officials, some of the de-
tails of the banking policy got
into the record.
Hearing Recessed
The hearing is to determine
whether D. c. Transit's bid for
a scent fare increase should
be granted. The company is
seeking an immediate scent
rise for rush hour riders, which
would become a general 25-
cent fare effective next No
vember. The company's case
was concluded yesterday, and
the hearing will resume Janu-
ary 25.

The
Rambler
Gets Into
The Second Stuqe
By GEORGE KENNEDY


The Rambler had put it
of as long as he thought
possible.
Like almost everything
else, the Christmas shopping
has been taken care of by
the women in the family.
But the Rambler does en-
Joy doing some toy shopping
for little nieces and nephews.
You can give adults almost
anything they don't want
and don't need and they will
be able to diSSemble enough
to thank you. But don't go
wrong with the kids.
If you do, you become
aware that your stock is
going down.
They may be able to thank
you, but not very much.
So on Tuesday the RAM
bier found himself checking
the novelties in the toy de-
partmentS of the F street
stores.
Novelties are difficult in
the toy world. The manu-
facturerS are ahead of the
scientists.
Our missile lag has been
very embarrassing. They
would love to come out with
rockets that would pretend
to project satellites around
the moon or in solar orbit
If they could be guaranteed
to be American.
The best they have this
year is a two-stage rocket
which operates on a very
powerful mixture of lemon
juice and bicarbonate of
soda. You may think that
these commonplace chemi-
Gals Of the kitchen are not
dangerous. But don't get in
the way of one of these
rockets.

the other day." an assistant
toy buyer said cheerfully.
According to a 1910 law
we cannot sell anything that
shoots to a child under 18.
So you see we have a sign
to that effect over the rock
cts, but it doesn't seem to
be hurting their sale"
The Rambler, who is quail
fed as to age, purchased one,
then went looking around
further.
Dolls, which are always
the biggest single item in
the toy departments, have
some big brothers and sis
ters this year.
There are still the costume
dolls, the imported items for
the lobbyist which come
from Germany, Italy or
Japan.
But the big sale is in dolls
3 feet high, the size of a
child of 3 or 4 years. They
are going, going, gone, at
prices of $40 to SIS.
PlaStics have made and
are making a big change in
toys. Atomic submarines that
shoot missiles are available
as we'll as a model of the
Savannah, the first atomic
vessel of our Merchant Ma
rine.
TV still has a tremendous
influence on the sale of toys.
Western items still are popu-
lar, although one store re-
ported that the sale of guns
was not up to last year. The
popular gun is the saddle
rifle. This years models eject
the cartridges, a bit of real
ism that is very important.
AS one buyer pointed out,
formidable as these rifles
and Thompson and Brown
ing Sub-machine guns ap-
pear, they are not as dan
gerous as the air rifles
Grandpa played with when
he was a boy. Air rifles just
are not available in the toy
departments. They are sold
in sporting goods stores.
