Decrease in April,
Because of Strike
By Donald B. Hadley
Because of the telephone strike,
new connections to lines of the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. in April failed to offset discon
nections, and telephones in the Dis
trict’ of Columbia declined mod
erately to 392,480 on April 30, it was
reported today.
The latest figure was 1,646 below
394,126 a month earlier, but re
mained 23,257 above 369,223 a year
earlier and was 103,561 above 288,919
on same date in prewar 1941.
Because early 1947 months were
devoted mainly to installation of
central office equipment and the
strike in April came at a time when
installations of individual tele
phones were expected to increase
sharply, little progress has been
made on the backlog of unfilled
telephone orders which totaled
23,900 at the start of the year, com
pany officials said.
Heeht Ce. Sales Gain.
Sales of Hecht Co., major depart
ment store operators here and in
Baltimore and New York, reported
sales in three months ended April
30 totaled *16,581.852, against *14,
615,758 a year ago, a gain of 6.5 per
cant
The price-reduction campaign In
April turned what was expected to
be a sales decline from a year ago
into a gain, a store official today
declared.
Because of an earlier Easter,
March sales were well above a year
ago, but for the same reason a re
cession had been anticipated later.
However, April sales made as good a
showing, he said.
Capital Exchange Active.
In an active session of Vie Wash
ington Stock Exchange today, Gar
flnkel common stock sold at 14%, a
gain of 3/« from its 1947 low of yes
terday, in three transactions totaling
100 shares.
In five sales before call and one
afterward, 55 shares of Riggs Na
tional Bank common were traded at
310, a gain of 2% points from the
last previous sale. Potomac Elec
tric Power Co. 6% preferred sold at
108%, a new year's low, and a drop
of 2=% points from the previous sale.
Capital Transit common was down
% at 25%.
A new analysis of American Tele
phone & Telegraph Co. operations,
now bein(? distributed by Mackall &
Co., Washington investment com
pany, has attracted considerable at
tention in the Washington financial
district.
Compiled by Argus Research
Corp., the analysis predicts the Bell
System will have a difficult time in
the next few years to reduce offer -
atlng expenses and thus build earn
ings up to a level sufficient to carry
the proposed capital structure.

Stocks Up Selectively;
Trading Slows Down
After Active Opening
NEW YORK, May 30.—A little
more short covering and quick-turn
buying gave the stock market a se
lective lift today, although many
leaders were indifferent and dealings
wen under those of preceding ces
sions.
Dealings slowed appreciably after
a fairly active opening and extreme
gains running to two points or so
were trimmed near the fourth hour,
with a smattering of minus marks
in evidence.
Ahead at one time or another were
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Chrys
ler. General Motors, Eoelng, J. I.
Case, United States Steel, Bethle
hem, Kenneeott, American Smelting,
Dow Chemical, Du Pont, Eastern Air
Lines, American Water Works, Col
gate-Palmolive, Texas Co., Skelly
Oil, Continental Oil. American
Woolen, Schenley, American Woolen
and Monsanto Chemical.
Occasional laggards were Curtiss
Wright, Douglas Aircraft, Goodyear,
Woolworth, Allied Chemical and
Owens-Illinois. New York & Har
lem common, "blue chip” of the car
riers, dropped 38 points at 250, on
10 shares, first sale since April 2*.

Bender Charges RFC
'Engineered' Deal to
Gel Office Space
Representative Bender, Repub
lican, of Obio, today charged tha
preliminary investigation of a build
ing project at Connecticut avenw
and H streets N.W., started a yea;
ago, apparently indicated the Re
construction Finance Ccrp. had "en
gineered” a deal to get office spaa
when materials were -needed foi
housing.
Ipiblic hearings on the investiga
tion will open June 2, Representa
tive Bender announced. He is chair
man of the Procurement and Build
ings Subcommittee of the Hou»
Committee on Expenditures in th<
Executive Departments.
Notices to appear before the sub
committee have been sent to Franl
R„ Creedon, housing expediter, ant
to John D. Goodloe, chairman ol
-the RFC, Mr. Bender said.
The office of the housing expedite;
last week issued a permit for com
pletion of the building. Records lr
the case show the sum involved ir
the permit was $734,384.
"The new office building is being
constructed by Jerry Maiatico
Washington builder,” Mr. Bendei
explained in a statement. “The RFC
has held an option since before
construction was begun to lease for
its own use 11 of the 12 stories oi
J the completed building.
"It appears from preliminary In
vestigations by the subcommittee,”
charged Mr. Bender, “that this was
engineered by the RFC to get some
very elegant office space for its own
use at a time when materials are
critically needed for housing.
"The subcommittee wants to find
out If such procurement and build
ing methods are customary with
the RFC and how they can be Justi
fied at the expense of building
urgently needed for home* and
business quarters for the use of
veterans." ___
