Pepco Officers
Testify in Favor
Of Rate Increase
Company's Earnings
Compared With Ratio
For Other Utilities
Officers of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. were cross examined
today as the Public Utilities Com
mission resumed its hearings on the
company's petition for an increase
in rates.
The company is asking for rates
estimated to bring in an additional
S3,001.000 a year. Residential con
sumers would pay $779,000 of the
total or, the company estimates, an
average of 43 cents a month more.
The company's position is that it
•nuct have additional earnings to
make its securities attractive to in
vestors so it can finance an $86,000,
900 expansion program.
Earnings Compared.
The company today presented a
comparison between the percentage
ratio of its operating income to the
:otal valuation of its utility plant,
with the ratios of 10 other com
panies which had sold stock issues
since January. 1947.
The Pepco ratio and the average
lor the 10 companies at the end of
:he year over a six-year period
follow:
Average Pepco
Year 10 Companies Ratio
1942 4.93 4.98
1943 4.86 4.93
1944 5.14 4.38
1945 5.12 4.39
1946 5.51 4.00
1947 5.22 3.57
R. Rny Dunn, company vice pres
ent and treasurer, was questioned
by Lloyd B. Harrison, special as
sistant corporation counsel, and
Byron E. Harding, chief counsel
of the Bureau of Federal Supply.
The bureau is an intervenor in the
case.
Mr. Dunn said that until company
earnings equal the average the
company will not be able to do any
fmancinig on favorable terms. He
made the point that Pepco is not
necessarily seeking to bring the
company’s earnings to a basic 5.5
per cent return, but is seeking suf
ficient earnings to attract capital.
Stock Rating Cited.
The company exhibit showed that
the Fitch rating of its common
tock was ‘ CCC,’” a symbol for the
est lower-grade common stock. Of
the other 10 companies with which
the comparison was made, the com
mon stock of only one had a similar
-rating, the other nine being rated
higher.
Fischer S. Black, assistant to the
oresident of the company, wras tc
testify this afternoon as the cont
ra ny's rate expert.
Charles J. Bauer, secretary of the
Building Owners and Managers’ As
. notation, also was expected tc
testify.
The association is opposing the
rate increase as is the Fairmac
Corp., owner of McLean Gardens.

Taxi Safari Carries
229 D. C. Children
To Virginia Camps
Forty Washington taxi drivers
with a knack for handling overly
energetic children, loaded their cate
this morning w'ith 229 boys and girls
between the ages of 9 and 12 and
began a bumper-to-bumper safari
: to Camp Good Will and Camp
Two police escorts led the long
line of cabs through Washington
i streets to Highway Bridge where
Virginia police picked up the con
voy. Signs were posted on the cars
reading “Thanks Folks, We're Going
for Two Weeks of Fun at Camp
Good Will," so passersby had no
trouble figuring out who the youth
ful handwavers were and where they
were going.
All told 720 children will have
two-week vacations at the camps
; this summer because Washington
1 citizens donated the necessary funds
through The Star's Summer Camp
Fund. The camps, operated by the
Summer Outings Committee of the
Family Service Asssociation, are lo
| cated in Chopawamsic National Park
near Triangle, Va.
Opposition Overcome.
Suitcases—or reasonable facsimiles
|— and duffle bags, shopping bags,
cardboard boxes, pillow cases and
even one doll trunk were piled in
the cabs at the direction of the
drivers.
Opposition was expressed by sev-;
eral of the boys who wanted to ride
in the cars which had a radio and
who said "We ain't gonna sit next
to any girls,” but they lost their
fight. The cabbies said they had
kids of their own, and even grand
children, and they waren't going
to be out-foxed by these "tough
j characters." On» driver said he
anticipated no trouble at all since
his passengers were “very bashful.”
i He placed a girl on each side of the
boys for the 40-mile trip.
Another driver checked his pas
! sengers for "guns and knives” be
I fore the journey began and made a
big hit. The girls ignored the boys’
shouts to “pipe down," and con
tinued to ask each older person they
saw?
Are you going 10 nappy nuni
ing Grounds?" An abashed adult to
i whom one such inquiry was made,
later found out Happy Hunting
Ground, in this case, wasn't the In
dian heaven at all, but the name of
a cabin at Camp Good Will.
Get Physical Checkups.
The youngsters were given last
minute physical examinations for i
i teeth, hair, eyes, nose and throat
to prevent contagious diseases from
breaking out at the camps.
Twenty of the cabs left from the
Thomson School at Twelfth and L
streets N.W. and the others from
Garnet-Patterson Junior High,
! Tenth and U streets N.W. The
taxi drivers transported the chil
dren free, using their own time and
owm gasoline for the trip.
Cars representing nine different
cab companys of Combined Cab
| Service, Inc., formed the caravan,
led by Henry H. Bierhans. It was
! Mr. Bierhan's idea to use free taxis,!
thus saving $1,100 in camp costs. j

Fireworks Cap
July 4 Holiday
Light Showers Fail
To Send Crowd Home
From Monument
Approximately 200,000 persons
turned out for the fireworks at the
Washington Monument last night
which ended the joint Inpendence
Day celebration and the fete com
memorating the 100th anniversary
of the monument itself. Even light
showers which fell during the first
half of the program—the speech
making half—failed to send any one
home.
The fireworks were what the
crowd had come to see.
Party Symbols in Fireworks.
And before their eyes, giant clust- i
ers of colored fire exploded in the
sky, Niagara Falls was reproduced
and the Battle of the Clouds was
held. The Democratic Donkey and
the Republican Elephant were cre
ated in blazing fire and walked
across the grounds to greet each
other.
George Washington and President
Truman were there—in one fireworks
display. And it all ended in an
explosive mass of colors with a
huge American Flag as the focal
point.
Each display brought cries of ad
miration from the crowd. And as
one policeman said:
"There’s nothing I like better
than to hear 200.000 people say
ahhhh at one time."
Colors Massed.
The program started with a band
concert by the Marine Corps and
Navy Bands, followed by the mass
ing of the colors and the raising of
the American Flag on the grand
stand. Leon Chatelain, jr„ presi
dent of the Washington Board of
Trade and chairman of the cele
bration. who reminded the throng
of the dual nature of the celebra
tion.
"Nowhere else in the world is
there the freedom that is our privi
lege to have,” he said.
The history of the flag was traced
by Guy A. Caponneto, exalted
ruler of Washington Lodge, No. 15,
Elks. A silver cup for the best float
in Saturday's parade was presented
to Marine Corps Lt. Col. Edward
Caswell for the Marine float which
showed the development of the
corps’ uniform down through the
country's history. Certificates of
merit for floats went to the Wash
ington Gas Light Co., Call Carl
Co., the Washington Graphic Arts
Association and the Chinese Benev
olent Association.
Movie Star Edward Arnold, who
came from Hollywood to join in the
celebration, read excerpts from the
Declaration of Independence. When
he finished he told the crowd to
light matches and hold them above
their heads—as a symbol of the
light of freedom. All other lights
were put out and over the monu
ment grounds as far as one could
see were flickering points of flatne.
Tells Meaning of Citizenship.
Chief Justice Bolitha Laws of Dis
trict Court, introduced a group of
men and women who have been
studying to be citizens and were
to be naturalized at District Court
today. Mrs. Esther Rosenbloom, a
native of French Morocco, who re
cently was naturalized, spoke for
the group, telling the crowd what
her citizenship meant to her.
Mrs. Rosenbloom. who married an
Air Force officer, said: "People born
here sometimes lose sight of the
real meaning Of American citi
zenship.”
Justice Proctor led the assembly
in the pledge of alligence to the Flag
and all joined in singing the Star
Spangled Banner, led by Lynn
Allison.

Traffic Jam Follows.
After the display was over and a
huge “Good Night" was lit in spar
kling colors, the police forces had 3
major traffic jam on their hands
which lasted nearly an hour.
Pedestrians poured from the
grounds, effectively blocking motor
traffic on all surrounding streets.
One huge trailer truck, from Florida,
was stranded near Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue N.W. and
the truck driver gave up efforts to
make any progress. He climbed out j
and sat on the truck cab, trading
jokes with the milling thousands
that passed him.
To help transport the huge crowd,
the Capital Transit Co. put 90 extra
streetcars and 70 extra buses in
service from 7 to 11 p.m.

Police Traffic School
Continued 6 Months
By Commissioners
The Commissioners today decided
to continue their school for traffic
law violators for another six months.
This was decided after Police
Supt. Robert J. Barrett handed the
city heads at their board meeting
a recommendation by Inspector
Arthur E. Miller, police traffic ex
pert, that the school be continued.
Maj. Barrett indorsed the recom
mendation.
Present authorization for the
traffic school, to which' Municipal
Court judges have been sending cer
tain violators in lieu of fines or jail
sentences, expires Friday. The
school began last December.
Inspector Miller's report on the
first six months stated that 1,009
persons attended various day and
night sessions of the school, con
ducted by police, and representa
tives of the Vehicles and Traffic
Department and the Board of
Revocation and Restoration of
Permits.
"The traffic school is quite a
burden and a considerable respon
sibility to us,” Inspector Miller said.
He added, however, that he thought
it should be continued for six
months, after which "we will be in
a better position to pass final
judgment” on its success.
Kayser Urges Swap
Of U. S. Zone of Berlin
A suggestion that the American
zone of Berlin be traded away fori
concessions which would strengthen,
the American position in Europe
was made yesterday by Dr. Elmer
Louis Kayser, history professor and
dean of university students of
George Washington University, at,
the Independence Day exercises of:
the Association of Oldest Inhabi
tants of the District of Columbia in |
the Old Union Firehouse at Nine
tenth and H streets NW.
At the end of a talk contrasting
the Declaration of Independence
with the Communist Manifesto, Dr.
Kayser said:
"It might easily be the part of
wisdom to consider giving Russia
control of Berlin on a sound basis
of quid pro quo in exchange for
concessions which would be far
more advantageous to us in
strengthening our position than a
tenuous hold on a fourth of a Berlin
enclave within a Russian zone.
"Berlin with its Potsdam tradi
tion reeks with an offensive Prus
sianism. It would hardly be the
center around which we would want
to build the new democratic Ger
many, even if w'e controlled it and
we do not. Frankfurt represents a
more wholesome tradition in Ger
man culture, a saner tradition in
German history. Around it we are
building a newer, and we hope bet
ter, Western Germany.'Well miyht
we in good Yankee tradition swap
a meaningless Berlin but only for
valuable concessions elsewhere and
when we wish it."

Walter T. McCarthy today granted
a 60-day stay of execution of sen
tence in the seduction case against
Guy H. Fuller, jr., 19, after denying

The United States is “above all a
country of law,’’ Attorney Roger
Robb told a group of 42 newly
naturalized citizens today in Dis
trict Court.
“By law, I mean not a dry and
dusty collection of legal quiddities,
but rather those fundamental rules
and principles of fairness and jus
tice that govern men in their deal
ings with each other and govern
the state in its dealings with men, ’
Mr. Robb said.
The attorney said it is devotion
to those rules and principles that is
“the strength and genius of our
country—it is our dedication to the
concept of equal justice under the
’aw that distinguishes our Nation
from alnjost every other nation on
earth."
Sworn in by Goldsborough.
The new citizens, who were sworn
by Justice T. Alan Goldsborough.

home at Grenoble, France.
