Corporations Buy Bills
AsU. S. Tax Falls Due

Illnesses include: the switch
away from inventory build
ups, thus tying up less of
their money; the drop in prof
it margins and in earnings,
particularly in the current
quarter, which may mean that
many corporations will have to
pay less of an income tax to-
day than they thought when
they started planning for it
earlier in the year; and possi-
bly, that many. looking beyond
plans in progress, see less need
later on for cash to put into
new plant and equipment.
Borrowing Is Down
The two Treasury issues this
week also have a certain tax
allure of their own. One comes
due September Is, handy for
the next tax payment. The
other comes due in time for
the December Is instalment.
The issues thus take the place
in the corporate treasures of
the tax anticipation issues
which the Treasury has often
put out, but didn't this time.
The bills will give the compa-
nies a return on their money
while they get ready for the
next tax dates.

TALKING OF BUSINESS
PEPCO's President Sees Future
Tiedto Home Cooling and Heating
lG OF BUSINESS
By WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star staff Writer

Star Stan Writer
One of Washington'S largest
companies is basing plans for
the future on dirty draperies
and soggy shirts.
There's nothing strange
about that, though. The Poto-
mac Electric Power Co., one of
the Nations most successful
utilities, has laid those plans
on cold, hard economic facts.
Soggy shirts-a symbol of
the need for air conditioning
m summertime Washington
have largely spurred the in
creasing use of electricity in
the last 10 years.
In the decade now beginning,
according to R. Roy Dunn,
president of PEPCO, the COM
pany's growth will be tied to
both the cooling and heating
of homes.
Home heating is the future
for u.s." the quiet, stocky exc
cutive explained one recent
morning. Its chief advantage
is cleanliness - plus the fact
that the same equipment can
be used for both air condition
ing and heating"
More Expensive
"It's a little more expensive"
he admitted, "but the house
wife likes it because she doesn't
have to take down her drapes
for cleaning five times a year"
AS the result of these plans,
PEPCO, has substantially in
creased its power generating
facilities. Since June last year,
the company has completed
two sections Of a new 100000
kilowatt power plant at Dicker-
son, Md. which will eventually
have a capacity of $4,000 kill
owattS.
Still another plant, which
will have an initial capacity of
about 250,000 kilowatts, is in
the planning stage.
Those additions, when COM
pleted, will total about 775,000
kilowatts - three-quarters of
the company's capacity before
last June.
The first of those additions
had only been in use a few
days when the system evperi-
enced it's all-time production
peak. At 2:05 pm. last June 80.
a muggy day in Washington,
PEPCO supplied 1,156,000 kilo-
watts to its customers-a IL
per cent increase above the
peak in 1858.
Going Up Fast
"Our load growth has been
going up pretty fast and we
have to keep ahead of it," Mr..
Dunn declared.
Since 1851, he said, when
residential air conditioning
came into its own in Washing
ton. the city has used more
electricity in summer than in
winter. Before then, electric
ranges were the principal con-
sumerS of electrical power.
Mr.. Dunn noted that the
Capital is unlike most other
urban areas because it has
practically no large industry.
I'VE don't have an industrial
load here" he observed. but
I don't think that's bad. When
depression hits somewhere else,
we don't feel it. We've enjoyed
a real stable, steady growth in
the Washington area"

About That Man Ness

'Was Eliot Ness really involved with all the
criminals mentioned on the series?"
. I'm confused. For what branch of the
Government did Ness and his men work?"
"Was Ness actually like the man as played
by Robert Stack?"
These are few of the questions asked
daily of ABC star Robert Stack, and the pro-
ducers Of The Untouchables, the seasons most
popular action show.

of his Chicago crusade against the Capone mob

explains. "He just hated those gangsters almost
running the country. And the bribes that were
rendered his way made him almost blow his top"
Bob calls Ness non-Stack role. I'm in
a lot of Kooky pictures that keep turning
up on TV and don't want the Eliot Ness part
to be mixed up with the old standbys. I'm
trying to play him without the cliches."

BERLIN. Jan. 10 tAP).-
West Berliners today joined in
the round of protest demonstra-
tions in Europe against anti
Semitism. Big protest parades
were held yesterday in London
and in Italy.
About 5000 Germans at
tended a rally in West Berlin S
Steinplatz. Police arrested 10
university students for raising
placards at the rally calling for
the custer of government Of
f1cials having Nazi records.
Senator Joachim LipSchitz,
who was addressing the rally,
halted his speech when he saw
the placards raised, assuming
they came from Communist
East Berlin. But police said the
10 arrested were from West
Germany.
They were detained four
hours while their background
was checked and then were
released.
Clusters Demanded
The Communist East Ger
man news agency Adm came
out Immediately with a charge
that Senator LipSchitz had set
the police on the students.
The demand that ex-Nazis be
ousted from responsible posi-
tions in West Germany has
been voiced by the press and
political groups in Germany as
we'll as elsewhere in Europe.
This was one demand made
at a big protest rally in London
yesterday. The German govern
ment has promised steps to
weed out Nazis from high po-
sltionS.
In his speech to the Stein
platz rally, Senator Lipschit2
pledged strong measures against
neo-Nazis but said nothing
about the custer of ex-NaziS
from government positions.
