PAGE 10 A I CITIZEN MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1958 HONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1958 TRT Pledges Effort To Improve Service By JACK CARSON A twoKlay Arizona Corporation Commission hearing into the nances of the Tucson a i Transit Co. ended Saturday on a cooperative note with the bus company president promising to try to improve service. John B. Tigrett, of Jackson, TRT president, told the commission that Josep Ong, consulting enginec-r from Cincinnati, Ohio, would be retained to make a survey of bus needs here. "And we'll do any other thing within reason to improve our operation," Tigrett said.

The financial case of the bus company was taken under advise- ment by the commission. George Senner commission chairman, continued the hearing on the company's schedules to a date which will be determined by an opening on the commission's calendar. Saturday, testimony was presented by TRT officials which indicated the company has taken a drop in revenue and passengers during the first nine months of this year as compared to the corresponding period last year. Tigrett testified income ias declined 8 per cent from the nine months gross for the first part of 1957. The company's income totaled $381,563 through Sep- ember, 1958.

Last year's total for the corresponding period was $414,934. However, more bus miles were traveled in 1957 and expenses were greater that year than in 1958. During the same comparative periods, passengers declined 917,992 this from last year's 3,226,131. Tigrett told the commission that TRT lost $3,247 in September of this year. The bus company presented figures on its operating ratio for the First nine months of this year as compared to the first nine months of last year.

TRT's figures show an operating ratio of 95.53 per cent through Sep- tember of this year. That means expenses were 95.53 per cent of gross intake. Earlier testimony in the hearing indicated an operating ratio between 90 and 95 per cent is desirable and in line with other Arizona bus companies. Contrary to TRT's figures Saturday which took the company through the first nine months of this year, figures in the previous testimony were calculated only on the first six months of 1958. William H.

Howe, chief engineer of the Arizona Corporation Commission, said that the company was depreciating its equipment over a six-year period instead of 10 years, as is done by several other bus companies. Consequently, for the first six months of 1958, TRT's operating ratio could, be. with the longer term depreciation, 84.54 per cent. That would be a profit of approximately 15 per cent. G.

A. Horstman, assistant director of the tariff and rate division of the Arizona Corporation Commission, and Max A. Millett, Phoenix CPA, testified that TRT's figures for the first six months of this year place its operating ratio in line with other Arizona bus companies. Previous testimony complained of TRT's bus schedules. In presenting company's case Saturday, Ong testified that bus passenger revenue is falling off nationally.

Other bus companies have cut runs to even a greater extent than TRT has here, he said. The commission originally scheduled the meet to look into the TRT's financial status and determine whether better service should be offered, rates increased or decreased and whether the financial condition warrants a raise in bus driver salaries. However, Saturday, Senner said the commission was not looking nto a wage hike at this time. A I CITIZEN Story Of Pope's Last Hours Costs Physician PAGE ROME--UPI-Dr. Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi was stripped of his Vatican post and barred from Vatican City today because he sold for publication an intimate and detailed account of the last hours of Pope Pius XII.

The exit of the mild-looking professor; for a quarter of a century physician to the late Pope, came in the form of a letter of resignation accepted by the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church this morning. Vatican sources said he had been "counseled" to submit the resignation. The cardinals formally declared the post of archiatra, physician to the Pope, vacant. The Rome Medical which issued a statement last Saturday accusing him of "unethical" conduct in selling his version of the Pope's last hours, was meeting this evening to decide what action to take against Galeazzi-Lisi submitted his letter resignation Saturday to Eugene Cardinal Tissertnt, dean of tin College of Cardinals. This afternoon's edition of tht Vatican newspaper Osservatort Romano quoted the Galeazri-Liri letter as saying: "I beg your eminence to present to the sacred college my resignation as director of the Vatican health services Osservatore Romano said, "Tht resignation has been accepted.

At present the post of archiatra of the pontiff is vacant." SECOND WEEK VALUES FOR THE MEN IN YOUR FAMILY SHOP NOW AND SAVE!

NEW YORK --OB--The York Times said today that a nationwide survey of political conditions-by Times correspondents Indicated Democratic gains in the House of Representatives in Nov. 4 election. The Times said the general impression, slightly more than two weeks before the was that the Democrats might gain from 15 to 40 House seats. This would give them a comfortable majority in the next Congress. When the present House was at full strength, the Democrats held 235 seats and the Republicans 200.

The Times said the survey was not intended at a final forecast of the division of the House in the next Congress. It noted that many races were reported close and subject to change in the closing days of hard campaigning. Not included in the survey were Maine, which voted on Sept. 8, and Alaska, where elections will be held Nov. 25.

The Times reported further: Democrats were confident--and many informed Republicans privately agreed with them--that they would add to their present House majority. Correspondents of toe Times re- ported that the Democrats had fair to excellent chances of adding one or more House seats in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Virginia, Indiana, i i a Washington, Maryland, North Dakota, Kentucky and Ohio. There seemed to be little chance that Vice President Nixon would get the nationwide vote of confidence in the Eisenhower administration for which he has asked. Nixon has urged campaign audiences to vote for Republican House and Senate candidates who would support President Eisenhower's program. There were few signs of the landslide that Democrats predicted when they laid their party would gain 60 to SO House seats.

Other samplings of political opinion reinforce the impression of the Times survey that the Democratic gains in the House proportionately would fall below the expected Democratic increases in Senate seats. Recent surveys, including those by teams of New York Times correspondents, have shown that the Democrats might gain as many as 10 to 14 Senate seats, while no Senate seat now held by a Democrat is in serious danger. The last Senate was divid- ed 49 Democrats to 47 Republicans. From the Democratic viewpoint, the picture is not to bright and uniform in the contest for control of the House as it appears in the Senate. The outlook is certainly for a net Democratic gain.

But there are a number of places where Democratic seats are in danger and may be lost to Republicans. Such Josses, if they occur, will be more than offset by Democratic gains in the areas where the recession and unemployment have hit hardest, according to present indications. Republicans were hopeful that they might reduce their net losses by victories in some contests in statei such as Oregon, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois and Rhode Island. A few years ago, Republicans hoped they might follow up Eisenhower's breakthrough in the solid South and add to their representation in the House from that area. Such hopes have vanished with the sharpening of the civil rights issue, especially since the President sent federal troops into Little Rock, Ark.

At least two Republican-held House seats in the South are now classified as in serious danger. These are in the Fifth District of Texas, centered on Dallas, and the South District of southwest Virginia. One of the hardest fought battles is in the First District of South Dakota, where Rep. George McGovern, Democrat, is being challenged by Gov. Joe Foss, a Marine air hero of World War II.

The Republicans picked their top vote-getter in an effort to regain this sent, but public opinion polls currently show McGovern is the favorite. However, Democrats are by no means certain of victory.
