Phone Firm Aide Asks
8-o Pct. Rate of Return

Mr.. Conrad said that regula-
ton serves as substitute for
competition and utility earn
ings should be comparable to
those in competitive, unregu-
lated industries.
He told the P. U. c. that "if
utilities cannot earn COM
mensurately with competitive
industries. they will be unable
to compete successfully for the
capital to build the plants
needed to meet the customers
demands for service. In addi-
ton, they will be unable to
attract competent management
to compete on equal terms for
labor, or to win the consumers
favor"
Mr.. Conrad conceded that
monopolistic companies such
as utilities run less risk than
unregulated industries, but he
said that they are far from
riSk-free. :"
He said that the fact that
there is no direct competition
cannot protect the utility
from such things as obsoles-
cence, rising costs, elasticity of
demands and competition due
to substitute services"
Equity Necessary
He said that on the basis of
his studies, the Chesapeake g.
Potomac Telephone Co. must
have earnings on equity COM
parable to that being earned
by competitors"
The Cap is seeking an in
crease, of from IA to 81 per
cent in District phone rates.
The company estimates such
an increase would provide
sos million in added revenue,
which it says is needed if the
company is to continue to pro-
vide firSt-claSs service.
A company spokesman said
the average increase for home
phone subscribers in the Dis
trict would be SIPS.
The proposed increase would
concern District customers
only.
Witnesses pointed out yester-
day that this is the first in
crease the firm has sought in
10 years, and that even If
the telephone will
still be a bigger value than it
was in 1854"

Mr.. Shipley said that he had
written to Mr.. Lodge, Ambas-
sador to Wet Nam. on Novem-

would consider writing a
letter stating merely that
he had mo objection" to use of
his name on the ballot in the

leader said Mr.. Lodge replied
in a letter from Wet Nam dated
November 4 that II am not a

not give you such a statement.

Mr.. Eisenhower will not go this

Slate Still Possible
Mr.. Shipley said that some
District Republicans could still
form a slate of pro-Lodge can
didates for delegates to the Re-
publican national convention
and issue sample ballots iden-
tifying themselves as supporters
of the Ambassador.
However, he said that so far
he has found mo great interest
in Lodge" among District Re-
publicans.
Mr.. Shipley said that the
sentiment for potential Re-
publican candidates here is
now quite fluid-Pennnsyl-
vania Gov. Scranton and Mich
igan Gov. Romney are near the
top now with (former vice
PRESIDENT Nixon and New

Attack Considered
OnFreewayFreeze
Two Senators
From Maryland
Study Strategy

Maryland's United States
Senators today indicated they
might try to reverse a Federal
freeze on building a freeway
through Northwest Washington
to link with Interstate Route
70-S in Montgomery County.
A promise to consider such
action came from Senators
Beall, a Republican, and Brew
ster, Democrat. at a highway
strategy session in Senator
Beall's office.
The lawmakers asked what
Congress could do to clear the
dead ends Of interstate routes
in Maryland as they approach
the District and the beltway
around the District.
Repeal the freeze. Federal
Highway Administrator Rex
Wilton, District Engineer
Commissioner Charles M. Duke
and Maryland State Roads
Commissioner John Funk all
urged.
Written Into Law
The ban was written into
legislation creating the Ma
tional Capital Transportation
Agency, to run until July 1,
1865.
No more than a two-lane
road may be built west Of
Twelfth street NV. and north
Of either the North or West
legs of a proposed loop around
central Washington. a proposed
Potomac River expressway or
a proposed Potomac Palisades
parkway. under the restriction.
The Maryland Senators said
they would discuss a repeal
with Senate District Commit
tee Chairman Bible, Democrat
Of Nevada.
Senator Bible will consider
this question in relation not
only to Maryland highways but
to a $500 million subway and
rapid rail system mapped by
the Meta. The House has
Just buried the transit measure,
at least for the remainder Of
this year.
Possibilities Viewed
Opening the Northwest to
interstate links could speed de-
velopment of a north central
corridor" linking North Cap
itol street in the District with
Pooks Hill, Nd. where 70S
now stops, and with a corridor
extension to Wheaton, Md.
other controversial routes
through Northwest Washington
have been proposed in Rock
Creek Park. Glover-Archibold
Park, a Wisconsin avenue cor
ridor and along widened streets
running into Bethesda.
The formal discussion with
Senator Beall preceded by two
hours a public hearing on the
Potomac River Palisades ex-
pressway. This proposal was
drafted by the Maryland Ma
tional Park and Planning Com
mission.

COP. Our Of
Touch With Voters
VIM. Walker SoVS
AMP WaShinRtOn RurAanl

NANA "dSHAAlBJ OH DuEOthul
Washington (ANP) - Many in
the Republican party ARE too far
people and what motivates them
out of touch with the common
politically" declared William o.
Walker, director, Department of
Industrial Relations, State of Ohio.
Speaking before the 18th annual
Republican Women's conference,
held in Washington, last week,
Walker who is also publisher of
the Cleveland Call and Post, also
charged that Republicans look for
the big important issues" on
which to campaign, when often
it is the little issues that most
voters react to :"
The Negro publisher declared
that the Republican party had to
reemphasize its Human Rights
stand, for among all of the many
factors that brought the Republi-
can party into being, one stands
out - it is human rights"
The recently appointed State
Director told the more than 1000
women that 1.-The Civil War was
the inevitable price this nation had
to pay for its fragrant disregard
of basic human rights in permit
ting the practice Of human slav-
cry"
So long as the Republican party
championed the cause of human
rights, it was the dominant poIti-
cal party in the nation, said Walk
err.
In a hard-hitting speech inter-
rupted by applause, Walker told
the women gathered from every
state in the Union plus the Virgin
Islands and Puerto Rico, that the
Democrats knew how their past
victories were won.
He charged also that the Demo-
Gratis knew also where their mar
gin of victory came from and
wished nothing more than for the
Republicans to completely aban-
don the human rights issue with
all Of its human freedom and civil
rights facets E"
Walker warned that the migra-
tons of Negroes from the South
to the North and West and to the
large urban was a clear indica-
ton that our party must take a
new look at its Party platform and
its campaign strategy.
mo longer can the Republicans
concede the big cities to the Demo-
Gratis and still expect to carry the
big states"
If the Republicans win or lose
in 1864, and in the future, it will
be in IT states that now have 70
per cent or more of their popula-
ton classified as urban, declared
Walker.

Gary, Ind. (ANP) - Threats to

Mrs. Marece Neagu, whose hus-

The calls came after her hus-

is routine because of the question
of bringing in dope; but it seems
to me that the federal government
should make some distinction be-
tween young people who are in
volved in civil disobedience, or in
volved in a struggle for social
rights, and the criminal kind Of
person who is being brought up
for criminal charge.
She added: LAS a woman, I can
think of no greater indignity than
rape =. or sexual exposure or
unsanitary conditions. For ex-
ample, we know of a case where
one girl actually said that two of

able rights. They are inalienable
for one reason only: because they
are the endowment of the Crea-
tor.
If the day ever comes when the
men and women of Western civil
ization desert completely the his
toric concept of man as a child
of God with free win and an i'm
mortal soul-if the day comes, in
short, when we, too, go over to
scientific materialism" - on that
day not all our oil or gold in the
ground, nor our assembly lines,
nor our air forces, nor our navies,
nor even our possession of the
atomic bomb, shall save us. On
that day freedom will perish in
the totaItarian night of the
world.
Lincoln was right to remind us
that it is only under Cod that
this nation, or any other nation,
can be free.

Foes Of MorYIond's
No-BioS Law Lose
Referendum Fiqhf

Annapolis, Md. CAMP - Mary
lands new public accommodations
law was declared to be in effect
last week after Secretary of State
Lloyd L. Simpkins determined that
not enough valid petition sigma
lures had been submitted to put
the measure to a referendum.
Simpkins said supporters of the
referendum were 327 signatures
short of the 1854 they were re-
quired to submit by June 1. A
total Of 23,O82 was required by
July 1 to put the law on the bal
lot in November, 1864.
Deputy Attorney General Rob-
ert c. Murphy declared that on
the basis Of SimpEin's findings,
1.-THE law now is in effect" It was
due to become effective June / but
was delayed by the petition effort.
The public accommodations law,
the first such measure adopted by
a state south Of the Mason-Dixon
line, hibits discrimination
against Negroes in hotels, motels
and restaurants in II counties and
Baltimore City.
The counties are Allegany
Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil,
Charles, Frederick, Hartford, How
ard, Montgomery, Prince Georges
and Washington. The law Is sub
ject to a referendum next year in
twelfth county, Carroll.
The Eastern Shore city of Cam
bridge, where racial incidents have
been occurring for several weeks,
is in Dorchester County, one of IL
counties that exempted themselves
from the measure.
