Edward's Appetite

Improves

ENZESFELD, Austria, Dec. 23.— The appetite of the Duke of Windsor improved notably today as Christmas approached. He has developed a fondness for wiener schnitzel and for salsburger Nocker], light steamed egg dumplings. His principal concern seemed to be his inability to keep his Cairn terrier Slipper from chasing skittle balls down the alley when he plays. The Duke's private chauffeur, George Ladbrook, ‘left for London today, hoping to retain his job with the new King George VI. Ladbrook had been in Edward’s service for 18 years. He drove Mrs. Wallis Simpson to Cannes when she left Londcn, and then came on to Enzesfeld. Edward told Ladbrook to “go home and have Christmas with your wife and children.”

Marion County’s traffic fatality toll was increased to 158 today with the death of Dalton E. Rasner, 37, of 127 W. 24th-st, at City Hospital. Mr. Rasner was struck by an automobile Nov. 18 at 16th and Illi-nois-sts. He received a fractured left leg and other injuries, but was not believed to be in a serious condition until complications developed that led to his death. Eleven-year-old Rudy Gildehaus, 2258 N. Meridian-st, home from an Ohio military academy for the holidays, was in a critical condition at City Hospital today after being struck by an automobile. The youth and his sister, Miss Peggy Gildehaus, 17, had started downtown to do some Christmas shopping. Rudy was struck by a car driven, police said, by Richard Krachenfels, 18, of 124 W. 27th-st. The accident occurred on Illinois-st near 23d. Police exonerated Krachenfels after John Doward, 3319 Centralav, said young Gildehaus ran in front of his car and into the path of Krachenfels’ automobile. The youth received a concussion and possible skull fracture. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Gildehaus.

HAND-SET PHONE

CHARGES DIFFER GREATLYINU.S.

French Tyne: in Instruments | Saved A. T. and T. Money, Commission Learns.

BY RUTH FINNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.— The Federal Communications Commission today disclosed wide differences in the rates being charged telephone users in different states lor hand-set telephones. Their figures, just compiled, gave state regulating bodies their first chance to compare in different parts of the country. In rate cases, the different companies in the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. system have contended that they were basing charges on actual costs of furnishing the newer instruments. The Communications Commission calls attention to this in a report by the engineering department of its telephone investigation, showing wide discrepancies that have existed in charges in the past. At the present time, users in nine states pay 8, 10 or 15 cents a month for their hand-set telephones as long as they continue to use them.

Pay Five Times as Much

In 10 other states, users pay five times as much for their hand-set phones as in the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland, where lowest rates prevail. The nine states where unlimited collections are made are Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama, New York, Connecticut, West Virginia, Mississippi, Wisconsin and Washington. The 10 with next highest charges —25 cents a month until $9 has been paid—are Indiana, Kentucky, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming. (Indianapolis charges are 25 cents a month for three years or 15 cents a month for five years after which the additional fees are suspended, local officials stated. In either case the total charge amounts to $9.)

$1.80 Paid

In the district, Maryland and Virginia, users pay 15 cents a month until $1.80 has been paid. Another large bloc of states pay 15 cents a month until $5.40 has been paid and in some others the limit is $3.60 or $2.70. When hand-set telephones were first introduced in 1927, the charge was 50 cents a month in most parts of the country. A year later this was reduced to 25 cents. After this there were no reductions until the Public Utilities Commission of the district informed the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. it was contemplating action seeking a reduction. The company agreed to collect only until $4.50 had been paid. Other reductions came as fast as commissions in different parts of the country discovered this sityation and demanded similar treatment. Large Profit Made

The communications report discloses that total revenues collected for use of handset telephones from 1927 to 1936 were $53,240,933, while costs were $23,600,381, In addition the commission’s report that the system introduced the new hand-set telephone because it was looking for a way to increase the volume of business on each station through improved quality of service,

BOARD TO VIEW WASHINGTON-ST

‘West Side Civic Leaders

Say Avenue Dangerous To Pedestrians.

West Side civic leaders today planned to invite members of the Safety Board to meet with them after Jan. 1 and inspect W. Wash-ington-st from White River to the city limits. They describe this sec= tion as “dangerous to pedestrians.” For about four years, West Side organizations have been asking for traffic lights and protected street car loading zones. In-bound, cross-coun= try traffic on W. Washington-st (National-rd) encounters no traffic light or stop street until Belmontav, which is east of Washington High School.

Persons interested in the safety movement bave estimated that the average speed of in-bound cars near Washington High School is 50 miles an hour,

W. G. Gingery, Washington High School principal, pointed out that in that area there have been several fatal accidents this year, four per= sons being killed in one a few weeks ago at the Tibbs-av overhead, W, Washington-st and Rockville-rd, That stretch of pavement, he said, seems to be the most dangerous of any in the city.

Traffic Light Requested

The group has asked the Safety Board for the installation of an automatic traffic light at Holmes av and W. Washington-st; protece tive lights at Tibbs-av, Rockville-rd, and W. Washington-st; protected loading zones for street cars in front of Washington High School, and widening of W. Washington-st in front of the school. The Rev. Clarence G. Brown, one of the leaders in the movement, said that the comparative safety of other arterial highways in the city, such as N. Meridian-st, N-Capitol-av and E. Washington-st, was due to the presence of traffic lights that slow speed. He said and his associates in the matter plan to ask for a speed limit of 25 miles an hour to be established for W. Washington-st from the city limit, and be posted at the city limits on a signboard, The suggest« ed speed limit near the school build« ing will be 20 miles an hour, he said.
