UTILITY MADE
OFFICIAL RICH,
PINCHOT CLAIM
Hospital Bills of Chairman
Paid by Power Company,
Governor Says.

BIZ Scripps-Hoioard Newspaper Alliance
HARRISBURG, Pa, July o.
Photostatic copies of Johns Hopkins
hospital records, indicating Penn
sylvania utility men paid more than
$4,000 in hospital bills for Chairman
w. d. B. Ainey of the Pennsyl-
vania public service commission to-
day supported Governor Clifford
Pinchot's most sensational attack on
power interests.
Pinchot, appearing before the
state senate, has demanded Ainev's
dismissal and investigation of
alleged cooperation between the
commission and the interests it was
supposed to regulate in the public
interest.
No public utility question of
equal Importance to this ever has
arisen. in any state since regulation
became public policy" said the
grizzled Pinchot, veteran of more
imam twenty-five years fighting for
progressive conservation and power
policies.
The senate has referred the sem
satlonal charges to a committee. and
an investigation is expected to
start soon.
Enriched Self, Is Charge
Pinchot, in addition to charges
OF improper enrichment, perjury.
and misconduct in Office against
Alney, a longtime Pinchot oppo-
nent, placed other charges before
a secret session of the investigating
committee.
The Governor said he has conf
Genital information of bank depos-
Its Of upward of $185 900 by Ainey
during a f1ve-year period, "of which
less than $4,000 represented salary"
Ainey, as chairman of the commits
sion, receives $10,5O0 a year.
Pinchot called on the committee
to subpoena Ainey to explain his
large deposits.
The hospital bills, according to
Pinchot's records, were paid by the
late Arthur w. Thompson, president
of the Philadelphia company, at a
time when the rate case Of the
Equitable company, subsidiary of
the Philadelphia company, was
pending before the commission.
Utility Won Increase
Equitable won the rate case,
which involved an increase from so
to go cents a thousand cubic feet for
gas in Pittsburgh and many other
cities of the state.
The photoStatic records of the
Baltimore hospital purported to
show Thompson paid the bills, all
checks being issued on his personal
accounts in the Farmers Deposit
and Mellon National banks. The
total was $3073.
Pinchot also charged Ainey per-
mitted either the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company or Mitten
Management, Inc, to pay his trans
portation to Europe in the fall of
1927.
The perjury charge was based on
Ainey's denial to the Governor that
he ever had permitted any one to
influence him in his official duties,
and that he ever had received any
favor, gratuity, or gift.

Civil Service Law Stands

While the casualty list promises to be
high as the new Democratic admins

to which it falls heir as the result Of

publican rule of II years will have little
effect on the great mass Of Government
workers here and in the field, the civil

True, in the executive branch, there
are 1903 200 Federal employees, out of a

There have been two notable in
