Data on Manufacturing Cost
May Figure in Virginia
Contest.
CITIZENS OF LYON PARK
PROTESTING SCHEDULE
State to Investigate Rates Proposed
by Rosslyn Company-Local
Group Lacks Jurisdiction.

The Public Utilities Commission of
the District may be drawn into the fight
in Arlington County, Va, against the
new schedule of gas rates proposed by
the Rosslyn Gas Light Co.. according
to report today from Richmond. Va.
where the Virginia Public Service Cor
poratlon is preparing to hold public
hearings January 80 on the protest of
the Lyon Park Citizens Association.
While the District Utilities Commits
sion has thus far avoided taking any
part in the case because of it's lack of
jurisdiction, the Virginia commission,
1t was said, may invite it to send a rep
reSentative to sit in at the hearing and
also to submit data relative to the cost
OF manufacturing gas. There is prece-
cent for this action. it was pointed out.
since Harleigh H. Hartman, vice chair
man OF the District commission went
10 Richmond more than year ago to
Slt WIN the Virginia commission when
IL had under consideration an appliCa-
ton of an interstate motor bus line for
authority to operate in the State with
a terminal in Washington Hartman
was invited to attend this hearing be-
cause the application involved the Dis
trict
Although the District commission is
not directly concerned in the Arlington
county gas rates, the Virginia commits
sion u was said, believes it can furnish
valuable information in the case. since
all gas used III Arlington County is
manufactured in Washington, and the
District commission is thereby in pos
session OF data showing the cost of
manufacturing gas
Hartman said the District commits
sion has not yet received a formal in
yltation to send a representative to
the nearing in Richmond, but declared
that the commission stands ready at
all times to cooperate with the NARY
land and Virginia Public Service Com
missions. If notified in sufficient time
he declared, all data bearing on the
cost OF manufacturing gas could be as
SemoIed Tor the use of the Virginia
commission when the hearings get
under way.
The proposed new schedule of rates
in Arlington County was originally
scheduled to go into effect last De-
,cember /, but the effective date was
postponed because of the protest of
the Lyon Park Association, pending the
result OF the public hearing. The or
ganlZation claimed that the lower rates
proposed had not been scaled down TO
fair and reasonable basis.
The organization also contended that
since the Rosslyn Gas Co. is a SUBJ
sldiary Of the Washington Gas Light
Co, and to all intents and purposes is
the same company, the parent COM
pany supplies the Rosslyn company with
gas at wholesale price in excess of a
reasonable charge.
Arlington County will be represented
at the hearing by an array of legal
and engineering talent Included are
Commonwealth Attorney William c.
Cloth, G. o. Basham. an attorney, and
G. 1. Kepkart, valuation engineer.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf, February 6.-The
red shift of distant island universes, or
nebulae, has shifted DR.. Albert Elm
STEMS ideas Of cosmology into nebu-
lous state.
Even his most intimate co-workers
those who have obtained experimental
pRpofs of his relatively theory-have
been fascinated by glimpses into the
profundities which he occasionally re-
veals as he continues to think out a
new concept of the general universe to
replace his old spherical concept, which
he now declares impossible.
Astronomers and physicists here await
eagerly suggestions from him as to just
what h, thinks of cosmology now
that is, just what ideas he has about
the structure OF the universe.
Old Theory Discarded.
All that he has given them is his
decision that the old Einsteinian uni
verse Is a thing of the past and that
he is thinking hard.
He is thinking about things which
Mount Wilson astronomers have wit
messed at distances in the sky beyond
the realm OF the theoretical Einsteinian
universe.
He is going over equations to see If
some new law of physics may be re-
vealed in this red shift of distant neb-
ulae found by DIR. Edwin P. Hubble,
who sits at the turret of the worlds
largest telescope.
DR.. Hubble found these island uni
verses rushing away from our universe
with apparent velocities as high as 1900
miles per second at distance of 49,
0Oo, 000. Oo0, GOO, 100000 miles.
Other Island Universes.
Other island universes in the observ-
able region are known to be four times
as distant. This apparent velocity of re-
ceSSion is known also from spectre
scopic photographs as q red shift. And
there are some 30,0Q0.0O0 such island
univerSes, Hubble estimates, within the
regions observable by the i00-inch mir
ror telescope. q
1t seems to battle Einstein, for he ven
lures no explanation of a possible form
of universe to take the place Of the
spherical idea.
HE grasps the problems, and is work.
ing hard upon them" said one of his
most intimate co-workers. HE is seek
ing to formulate some experimental
tests based upon the equations of his
unified field theory. The subject is so
vast that such impressions as he gives
when he is thinking out loud reveal
flashes in a changing train of thought"
Meanwhile the astronomers and
physicists are lending willing ears to all
suggestions that he ventures as he con-
fers with them individually to ascertain
what they think the physical phenom-
ena, astronomical and experimental
physics tests and observations reveal.
