GSA Insists
On Bias End
In Building

The General Services Admin
istration said today it would
insist that qualified Negroes be
employed without discrimina-
ton when additional electri-
clans are hired for the con-
struction of Federal Office
Building No. 6.
Franklin G.. Foete, head of
the GSA. said in a statement
that I'VE are keeping in close
touch with the situation, and
will take action if there is a
breach of the non-discrimina-
tion clause :"
On August 25, in a letter to
the general contractor, Nc
Closkey & Co., Mr.. Floete asked
the contractor to take steps to
see that his electrical subcon-
tractor hire qualified Negro
electricians without discrimina-
ton.
Mr.. Floete said at that time
that at least one qualified Ne
gro had applied to the subcon-
tractor, the Howard P. Foley
Co. of Washington. but had not
been granted an interview.
In his letter, Mr.. Floete i'm
piled the threat of legal action
unless the situation was reme-
died within 10 days.
In today'S statement, Mr..
Floete indicated that the Foley
Co. had not violated the nom
discrimination clause of the
contract because four Negro
electricians have since been in
terviewed, bu4 that no electri-
clans, white or Negro, have
been hired.
while we did not demand
that the electrical subcontrac-
tor take on Negro electricians
in any and all circumstances,
we did and do insist that in any
additional hiring for electrical
work on Federal Office Building
No. 6, qualified Negro appli-
oants be employed without dis
elimination"
Mr.. Floete denied that GSA
has backed down" in its in
sistence on compliance with the
discrimination clause that
is part of every Federal con-
tract.

The D. c. Transit System
today estimated it would lose
SIS million passengers in the
next year should the Public
Utilities Commission grant an
increase in the price of tokens.
But, the company showed,
the fare increase would still
provide about twice as much
net operating income than
what the present fares would
allow.
Parker C. Peterman, assist
ant treasurer for the firm, told
the P. U. C. the company'S rate OF
return, if the fare increase is
allowed, would amount to 5.36
Evening star., 1960-09-29
Fewer Passengers, Double Profit
Seen in Transit Fare Increase

per cent of gross operating
revenue. If present fares are
continued, he said, the rate of
return would be 2.55 per cent.
Mr.. Peterman was the lead
off witness for D. C. Transit at
the opening of the hearing on
the fare increase request. Com
pany exhibits submitted at the
hearing showed that the net
operating income for the next
IL months with the proposed
increase granted would amount
to $1,636,386. Net operating in
come for the same period at the
present fare rates is estimated
at $722,061.
Cash Fare Same
The company has petitioned
the P. U. C. for a rise in token
fares from the present five
tokens for 81 to four tokens
for 95 cents. The present 25-
cent cash fare and l0-cent
school fare would remain the
same. Last March the P. u. C.
granted the company a scent
increase on cash fares but left
the rate for tokens unchanged.
The company official testi-
fled at today's hearing that All
per cent of total passengers is
the expected loss should the
fare increased be granted.
Without the fare increase, the
number of passengers is ex-
pected to be 1888 million in
the next IL months but if the
increase is allowed the total
will drop to an estimated 113
million.
However. total passenger rev.
enues, with the fare increase
granted and despite the ex-
pected loss in passengers,
would rise from $25.2 million
to $27.4 million, the company
estimates.
Labor Costs Up
The company based its claim
for additional revenues pri-
marily on labor cost increases
effective November /. These
increased costs will amount to
$550,000. The compayn's ex-
hibits did not show estimates
of the rate of return under the
proposed fare increases as it
would have been computed
under the old rate base

method. Last March the
P. U. C. switched the method
of computing the rate of return
to the gross operating revenue
as the base.
Using rate base of SIS mil
lion. representing deprecated
original investment as calcu-
lated by the P. U. c. earlier
this year, the company'S esti-
mated net operating income of
SIS million would provide a 10
per cent rate of return under
the old rate base method should
the fare increase be granted.
Last Increase Cited
Hawley S. Simpson, a con-
Sulting engineer who testified
on behalf of D. C. Transit, said
the company can expect so per
cent of its passengers to buy
tokens and 40 per cent to pay
the cash fare should the re-
queSted increase be permitted.
Mr.. Peterman yesterday testi-
fed the company lost slightly
more than 2 per cent of its
total number of passengers fol-
lowing the fare increase of last
March, which raised cash fares
to 25 cents.
He told the Public Utili-
ties Commission thhe loss prob
ably resulted for the most part
from resistance to paying the
higher fare.
At the same time, Mr.. Peter
man pointed out, the company
found that Is per cent of total
transit riders arer paying the
25 cent cash farer and the rest
are purchasing tokens at five
for 81.

Wright, director, Folger
Shakespeare Library. As
Sistant Editor, Virginia L.
Freund, executive secre-
tary. Pocket Books, 1858,
35 centS.)
You may think it preten-
tiouS that the Rambler is
reviewing a version of Ham
let printed more than 800
years after the First Folio.
1t is.
But this has to do with a
wonderful experience and he
wants to tell you about it.
He found this book in his
pocket last week end and
started to read.
Now Hamlet, as every
schoolboy knows, is not a
text to be read at one sitting.
Many of us remember
Margaret Webster's produc-
tion of the full Hamlet.
Maurice Evans played the
title role. 1t came to the
National Theater not long
before Pearl Harbor.
1t took five hours. AS I
re m e m ber it, the show
started at 5. We were allowed
to leave the theater at 7 for
a brief dinner and returned
at $3.50. BY II everyone but
Horatio and Fortinbras was
dead.
Now the Rambler doesn't
want to make out that he
read this paperback at one
sitting, but he started it on
Saturday and finished on
Sunday.

MOST EDITIONS of Shake

MOST EDITIONS OF Snake
speare, whether school books
published by Barnes & Noble
or an expensive edition
illustrated by Rockwell Kent
or high-priced, hand-tooled
editions, make much of hav-
ing the Temple notes.
The Temple notes were
worked up in the late 10Th
century in the scholarly area
of London, the Inner Temple
or the Outer Temple, that is
famous for legal studies. The
notes are for textual Schol-
ars. They point out that this
word was thus in the First
Quarto and so in the First
Folio.
In the Folger Shakespeare
pocketbooks, the text is
printed on the right-hand
page, the notes on the left.
The notes explain the 18th
century meaning of common
words. The meaning can be
quite different. Thus Laertes'
warning to his sister that
The cnnker gals the infants
Of the spring
Too oft before their buttons
be disclosed
has nothing to do with the
nursery. The "canker" is the
canker worm, the infants of
spring" are the early sprouts
and the buttons" are buds
that should blossom.
Louis Wright'S introduc-
tion made clear to the Ram
bier for the first time the
difference between a "quarto"
and a folio" The quartoS
were single-play editions.
Many were published during
Shakespeare's lifetime. The
First Folio, containing almost
all the plays credited to him,
appeared in 1923, seven years
after his death.

county's worries about land an
nexation by Falls Church, would
mean the towns of Fairfax,
Vienna, Clifton and Herndon
would be absorbed into the pro-
posed city.
Mrs. wilkins asserted that
the merger would mean more
efficient and more economical
government for the entire area.
The proposed city would con-
tain more than 400 square miles,
making it one of the largest
cities in the country in area.
Lee M. Rhoads, Falls Church
vice mayor. notified of the pro-
poSal, said he was against it.
See No Interest
Mr.. Rhoads said he felt a
majority of the people in Falls
Church "are not interested in
joining up with Fairfax Coun-
ty. :"
The vice mayor, sharpening
the city's annexation argu-
mentS, said the county's urban
areas around Falls Church have
little in common with the coun-
tvs rural areas.
The city has filed suit to an
mex AS square miles of county
land, including the tax-rich
Seven Corners shopping cen
ter. The couhty's legal answer
to the suit is to be by Sat
urday.
If the county became city
other neighboring jurisdictions
like Alexandria, could not an
mex parts of the county.
The county supervisors voted
unanimously for the proposal
which they have been consider
ling privately recently. Super
visorS Stuart De Bell and A
Claiborne Leigh were absent.
Supervisor James Keith. who
has been a champion of the ur.
ban county plan, said the --latest
proposal is "tailor-made to the
situation that exists"
Hopes for Action
Mr.. Keith said he hopes the
Falls Church city council viii
not hesitate to act" on the
proposal because Of the city''
pending annexation suit.
Supervisor Robert c. Gotten
jr.. said the proposal woulc
give Falls Church room to ex'
pand beyond their fondes
dreams"
Mr.. Gotten explained that
under the city merger, sepa
rate taxing areas could be Sc
up to allow each area of thr
new city to pay for the service
it needed.
This provision is similar tt
the sanitary district system
now used in the county. Tn
separate taxing system alSt
would be used in the urbar
county form of government
which the County Civic Fedora
ton would like the county tt
adopt.
Original proposals for tn
urban county plan containel
provisions under which tn
towns of Fairfax, Vienna
Herndon and Clifton would b
absorbed.
This provision was bitterl
opposed, especially by the tow
of Fairfax, which threatene,
, to become a city itself.

AS TO THE THEATER in

ally began at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon for the citizens

of them afterwards walked

often visiting such theaters

This called for getting up
earlier than we do-"up be-

constantly noted in his diary
a few years later.
Imagine transacting your
business before 3 and walk
