DEMANDS THAT
CASES BE CLOSED
Continued From Page One)
Has Second Thought


When asked the basis of his change
of plans Thursday, the governor said:
"Well, on second thought, | decided
to request that Mr.. Bricker remain on
the commission until important pend
ing cases are disposed of. Of course,
cannot force him to remain"
White, in his letter to Bricker on
Thursday, demands that Bricker keep,
his job until decisions are rendered IN
the Columbus gas rate case and the
statewide Ohio Bell Telephone rate
case. The gas case has been with the
commission almost three years, and
the telephone case, nine years.
Text of Letter
The governors letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Bricker:
'I have your letter of Aug. ten
Edering your resignation as member
of the Public Utilities Commission.
While | recognize in general the rea-
sons you set forth for desiring to dis
continue your connection with the COM
mission, | must decline to accept your
resignation at this time.
"There have been pending before
your body for several years past, some
cases which, by reason of their mag
nitude and the large number of our
citizens affected, are Of transcendent
public importance. refer particularly
to the cases of The Columbus Gas d
Fuel Co. and the Ohio Bell Telephone
Co. | note the observation in your let
| ter: there is nothing which | can per-
sonally do to hasten the determination
OF those important cases now pending
and undecided In view of the fact,
! however, that, together with the other
members of the commission, you have
been accumulating and studying the
evidence in these complicated causes
during this long period of time, and
that one of them, at least, is commonly
supposed to be now ready for decision,
| 1t is your duty to continue to counsel
and advise with the other members OF
the commission until definite decision
is arrived at and announced.
81 fully recognize your right to as
pire to the elective office which you
seek. 1t seems to me, however, that

which you propose to leave unfinished,

your time, as we'll as upon that of all
those IN public positions who are con-
cerned in bringing them to a speedy
termination.
"For the foregoing reasons, there
fore, | must respectfully request that
you continue as a member of the Pub
| lie Utilities Commission until you have
cleared your desk"
| Two Other Members
The resignation of Bricker, should
| it take effect, leaves the commission
with two members, E. j. Hopple, of
Cleveland, chairman, and Frank w.
Geiger of Springfield. Geiger is Re-
publican and Hopple Democrat. Ap-
pointment of a new member by the
governor would swing the balance OF
power to the Democrats.
| Bricker is known to have reached a
conclusion on the Columbus gas rate
case Independently of the other two
members.
If new appointee assumed office
and insisted on reviewing the testi-
mony, considerable additional delay
would result, it has been pointed out.

A Grain Soviet?

A Grain Soviet?
1t is no petty quarrel that has led
to the order of the Grain Futures
Commission suspending the Chicago
Board of Trade for sixty days unless
it complies with the condition that the
Farmers National Grain Corporation
shall be accorded clearing privileges.
1t is a bitter battle in the program
of the Department of Agriculture and
the Farm Board to wipe speculative
grain markets off the map. -.
What the struggle means is that the
/ Government of the United States is
undertaking to sovetize the grain
trade. With that objective in view it
is willing to take the terrific risks of
leaving the U. S. without any great
central grain exchange pending the
time when the Grain Corporation may
