GAS WARFARE
Up TOP.U.C c.
"DeadIine" Sees No Filing of
Statement Regarding
Selling of Stocks

The next move in the con-
troversy over ownership of the
Washington Gas Light Com
pany was put up to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission today
when the powerful New York
and Chicago interests involved
failed to file a written state
ment relative to compliance
with the commissions order
to divest themselves of the
company's stock.
Arthur Dean, attorney for the
out-of-town interests, recentl. as
sured the commission that he
would file the statement. Today
was the "deadline" for the filing,
and it had not been received at
noon.
Just what the commission will
do now is problematical. Maj.
Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chalr-
man, indicated that the commits
sion intended to wait until the
statement was filed before taking
any action. He was reticent to
discuss what action would be
taken in the event the statement
was not filed.
The commissions order n the
out-of-town interests to divest
themselves of the stock was is
sued last month, the day before
the annual stockholders meeting
of the company, !,
The commission also informed
the interests that if the meeting
were held before the stock had
been disposed of, it would con-
slider this a violation of the order.
Following this, Mr.. Dean called
on the commission and gave as
surance that the statement would
be filed.

Civil Service Commission Gives
Decision. Against Alex
andrianS' Petition

The Civil Service Commis-
sion today announced that,
under existing rules, Federal
classified civil employees who
live in Alexandria may not
run for, nor hold, political
offices there.
The ruling was made in a let
ter to Representative Howard W.
Smith, of the Eighth Virginia dis
trict, who brought to the COM
mission a petition signed by about
$50 Alexandria residents, asking
that Federal employees living in
that city be allowed to hold pub
lie office.
The commission denied the re
quest for two reasons. 1t was
reminded that the Federal en-
ployes living in Alexandria con-
stitute only per cent of the
population there, hence it was
not held necessary to the domeS'
tic interests of the Federal EN-
ployes there that colleagues hold
office.
Secondly, it was stated that all
primaries and elections in Alex.
andria are partisan affairs. and
partisan activity by Federal en-
ployes is barred by Civil Service
rules.
j. Edward Shinn, a machinist
in the Washington Navy Yard,
who lives in Alexandria, has been
nominated for city councilman.
The commission has notified him
he must withdraw IDS candidacy
to keep his job.

Crusaders Near Crisis
HOLY CROSS TEAM DRILLS AGAINST
 BROWNS PLAYS

'
 Worcester, Nov 3-Brown's re- pertory of football plays, as seen through the byeg of Holy Cross scouts, were on the F1tton field plan yesterday afternoon in dunn my scrimmaEe for the varsity and second teams. The plays had been given the members of the squad in chalk talks ana this af- ternoon Coach McEwan and his assistants, Gene Vidal, Bunny Cor- coran, Gus Cervini ana Reg Brown, put the microscope on the planned out Crusader defensive play against the Brown Bears triple wing at tack.
 McEwan said yesterday he would not scrimmage the team be- fore the Brown game. Beset with injuries of a minor nature to sev- eral of his first-gtring men, he isn't taking any chances at further de- pletion of ma terial, Don Kelly, fuliback, Is definitely out and there is some uncertainty about Buzz Harvey, giant left tackle, who was limping badly yesterday in practice. It is possible he may irn- prove before game time.
 To guard against his being not ready, McEwan inserted Fred Drescher into the first-string line up alternating with Harvey. Work ing against the Brown attack the Crusaders lined up with Tony Morandos at center, Moran and Zyntell guards, Harvey and Dres- cher left tackle, Flanagan right tackle, Britt and Reiss ends, Tom O'ConnOr, Bob Donovan, Tim Mur- day and John NO'Connor backs.
 Tom O'Connor will probably start at quarter against Brown and Bob Donovan will replace Jarvis, unless the latter recovers from a leg injury. John O'Connor just now is McEwan's hope for the full back berth. as with Kelly still in the hospital and definitely out, and Bart Hanus uncertain, owing to injury. the rugged Maiden O'Connor will probably hear the starting call. The Crusaders worked in secret practice yester- day afternoon, the field being po- Heed against unwelcome eyes.
 Tim Murray, who took quite a pummeling in the Catholic univer- sity game, seems to have recov- cred from the effects and is ready for the Brown Bear. Tim shone quite brilliantly in last years game. Archie Jefferson and Don Herlihy worked in the Brown backfeld group in the dummy scrimmage.
