The stateside shipment for

bringing Comdr. McEnearney's
inventory Of this slow-moving
item to 1885 gallons. This
year. when ordering supplies
for Deep Freeze-61, Comdr
McEnearney repeated his plea
for no more Type 1865. 'The
present inventory is sufiicient
for Deep Freeze-103," Mr..
McEnearney said in his supply
message. That means enough
for 43 years, since DF-l0S win

well.
Comdr. McEnearney has de-
veloped Q supply system for
Pole and Byrd stations which
he hopes win cut markedly the
cost Of delivering materials. He
is sending all POL in for para
chute drops from C-124s, and is
using ski-equipped C-130s to
land other supplies. He believes
this will cut down costs from
loss, breakage, failure of para.
chutes and other things that
raise the price of everything
inland to stratospheric levels.

Comdr. McEnearney has or

Comdr. McEnearney's opinion
About 725.00O gallons Of this

Comdr. McEnearney breaks
down diesel use into three cate.

ing for about so per cent Of the
total: vehicle consumption, SO
per cent, and electrical gener-
ating, 20 per cent. This break
down varies greatly from sta
ton to station and from one
time Of year to another, but
works out as q continent-wide
average.
Space heating is done largely
by circulating air heaters, and

In POL. as in food and other

He called the regulations a

In previous years. the Uni

She disappeared from her

last September.
Yesterday, the Christiansens'
17-year-old daubhter Karen
found the weary and confused
collie at the Montgomery
County Animal Shelter.
LaSsie had spent all her life
with the Christiansens until
they moved to New York last
August.
She seemed happy up
there" Karen said, but the
first day we let her out she
did not come back"
For months, the Christian
sens searched in vain. Karen
returned to Takoma Park to
complete her senior year at the
Takoma Academy.
Two weeks ago. Karen's old
neighbors called her to say they
had seen Lassie around the
Hudson street address.
II called everywhere and
talked to lot of people, "Kar-

lice and the animal rescue
shelter"
A much thinner, less friendly
LaSsie greeted Karen yester-
day.
Shelter attendants told her
they've known of dogs making
similar tricks.
They still thought it was
pretty remarkable" Karen said:
Il guess she's just like me;

posal for sales tax"

The Governors statement
came in a radio and television
interview only few hours after
the House Finance Committee,
by a vote Of II to 6, killed the
administrations 2 per cent sales
tax bill and two alternate 3

Gov. Almond had pegged his

ing to John Beemer and Con-
rad Cardano, Investigators for

This advertisement indicates

Under a law adopted on Sep
TENDER l. 1859, any firm 60
ing out of business requires a
license from the District. The

Private School
Funds in Bill

RICHMOND. Va, Feb. 19
(AP).-A bill went into the
House yesterday permitting
Prince Edward County-where
public schools have been
abandoned-to pay county
money for education to private
groups.
Delegate j. M. Daniel of
Charlotte, chief patron, said
the legislation was permissive
but could be used by any
locality. Fifteen other men,
bers signed the bill.
1t would let the governing
bodies of localities spend money
with persons, associations, or
corporations for the education
of children between age 6 and
20. Only county funds would
be involved.
Prince Edward County shut
its public schools rather than
submit to Federal court orders
calling for a stop to segregated
classes.

Navy Urged
ToB Build Subs
AtPIuntHere
BY JOHN A. GILES
Star Stan Writer

The Metropolitan Washing
ton Board of Trade said today
that hulls for the atomic
powered Polaris submarines
could be built at Government
owned facilities at 10 per cent
less cost than at private ship
yards.
1t said it intends to ask the
Navy If one or more of the
hulls could be built at the Naval
Weapons Plant.
The board, which has been
active in the campaign to keep
the plant operating at full ca
pacity, said the plant was built
originally as a shipyard and
demanded to know why it
could not be used as one now.
The statement was issued by
Frank A. Gunther. chairman
of the boards Federal Govern
ment Establishment Committee
and president of the Security
Bank.
I'VE are informed that Po-
laris hulls could be completed
here at a saving perhaps run
ming to 10 per cent of their $50
to $50 million cost" Mr.. Gun
ther said.
The Navy expects to have II
of the subs at the end of the
year and is asking for funds
for six more.
The statement was the latest
in series Of efforts to keep
the plant in operation.
The Navy is laying of per-
sonnet at the Weapons Plant
and expects the number of en-
ployes to be reduced to 1900 by
October.

runsit Fare
Decision Seen


The Public Utilities Com
mission will decide within the
next two weeks whether the
D. c. Transit System is en-
titled to a fare increase and, if
so, how big it should be.
Members of the commission
took the company's bid for a
fare raise under Amusement
yesterday after completion OF
a public hearing. The hearing
lasted IL days, with testimony
and arguments filling a record
of nearly 1000 pages of tran
script, including IS documents
entered as exhibits.
Final arguments by counsel
yesterday summed up the vari-
Gus alternatives the PUG. may
choose:
( The company has asked for
a Is cent ruSh-hour fare to be
established Immediately which
would become a straight 25
cent cash fare next November
Another proposal. Endorsed
by D. c. Transit Vice President
James H. Flanagan, calls for a
25-cent cash fare and five
tokens for Sl.l0.
The PUG. staff has pro-
posed a fare structure. of Is
cents cash for all hours and
five tokens for 81. This would
mean those passengers pur-
chasing tokens would continue
to ride at the present 20-cent
rate.
Another possibility open to
the PUG. is one strongly urged
by counsel for a number of
public petitioners and citizen
groups. They contend D. C.
Transit does not need and
should not be given any fare
increase at all.
In his testimony yesterday,
Mr.. Flanagan announced that
D. c. Transit expects delivery
Of 100 additional modern arr
conditioned buses within a
month. Some of these, ne said
will be used on the nearby
Maryland routes.
