Proposals 10 give the d. c.

Ga per cent profit BY law
appear to have been quietly
forgotten for this session Of
Congress.
Last May, Senator Morse,
Democrat Of Oregon, introduced
q resolution TO have the
Senate District Committee hold
an investigation to determine
whether the company had, In
effect, been mistreated by the
regulatory commissions which
set the company's fares and
profit rate.
The cause Of his concern was
o letter from d. c. Transit's
president, o. Roy Chalk, COM
planning that the regulators
had ignored "the intent and
desire Of Congress to allow q
minimum return Of Ga per
cent"
The company's current profit
rate set by the regulators In
conjunction with the present
fare structure is 4.87 per cent.
1t would take more than 81
million more annually from the
fare box or In subsidies to bring
d. c. Transit's profit rate up
to 61z per cent at present levels
Of riding.
Three months Of silence
greeted the Morse resolution
which was not even set down
for q committee hearing on
whether It should be sent to
the floor for q vote authorizing
the committee to make the
Investigation.
Chalk Is Silent
Then, on the House side,
Representative Mcmillan, DEM
ocrat Of South Carolina and
chairman Of the House District
Committee. introduced q bill
which would fatty set the
minimum profit at 61a per
cent. leaving the regulators no
choice Of putting it below that
line even If they thought less

Of supporters had dropped to

was taken up for passage-two

The charges that money was
being offered to buy votes, plus
Maryland's long tradition Of
allowing localities to run their
own affairs, were still being
debated right UP to the wire
today.
Some members Of the House
have expressed skepticism pri-

Some OF them felt Mr.. Mitch

the recommendations Of the

Tucker was a vice chairman.
Were they (citizens coun-

The White House con-
firmed yesterday that the
Kennedys have rented their
home at Rattlesnake Noun
tain in Atoka, Va, for the
month of September.
The new tenants are Mr..
and Mrs. Ogden Armour of
San Diego, Calf, who came
East to install their daugh-
ter, Vicky, in her second year
at Foxcroft School in nearby
Middleburg, Va.
The Kennedy home. fin
ished early last summer, was
rented until Labor Day to
Mr.. and Mrs. Dana Hodgdon
of Washington. 1t has never
been occupied by the PPesi-
dent and his family.
A White House spokesman
said there are no plans for
renting the place after Octo-
Der /, when the Armours are
expected to leave.
Planning Trip
Meanwhile, Mrs. Kennedy is
making plans for her two
week visit to Greece, be-
ginning october 2.
The First Lady, who Is re-
operating after the birth
and death of her third child,
plans to stay near Athens.
where her brother in-law
and sister, Prince and Prin-
cess Stanislas Radziwill have
rented q house.
The temperature in that
Southern European country
in the early part of october
usually averages about 81
degrees, with a high
recorded at about "a and
low at Ca pleasant range
for fall season.
Mrs. Kennedy plans to fly
to Athens by commercial air
liner, her press secretary,
Pamela Turnure, said. Two
Secret Service men will be
her only travelling compan-
ions.
Second Visit
This is the second time
since the Kennedys moved
into the White House that
Mrs. Kennedy has taken a
private vacation in Greece.
She went there early In June,
1861, with the Radziwills for
a nine-day visit after accom-
panying the President on
State visits to Paris, Vienna
and London.
At that time, Mrs. Kennedy
was the guest of then Prime
Minister and Mrs. Constan-
tine Caramanlis. The First
Lady and her sister stayed
at the villa of Greek shipping
magnate Markos Nomikos
at Cavouri, some is miles
southeast Of Athens. They
also spent four days cruising
amid the picturesque islands
of the Aegean Sea aboard
Nomikos' sleek yacht North
Wind"
Although the 1861 visit
was described as completely
personal and unofficial"
Mrs. Kennedy nevertheless
attracted crowds wherever
she went in Greece.
