REHEARING is SOUGHT
ON PLANT VALUATION
Byllesby Corporation Head Says
Reports of Power Commission
Decision Mislead.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOClaleO Press
CHICAGO, December John J
O'Brien. head of the Byllesby Engineer
ing and Management Corporation, to-
day said a rehearing would be sought
on the decision of the Federal Power
Commission in determining the valua-
ton base Of the Louisville, KY, hydro
electric plant.
The impression given by reports OF
the decision" he said, SIS absolutely
misleading in a number of important
particulars.
There has been no simple transfer
Of funds from one part of the Byllesby
structure to another, and all charges
rendered have been for services actually
performed in ample measure and with
economy to the operating companies.
In the Louisville case the entire
amount Of compensation for engineering
and construction supervisory service ac-
tually performed, or $481 900, has been
disallowed by the commission, but it is
noticeable that in rejecting the amount
the commission does so with leave tC
submit appropriate evidence in support
of the claim.
"The Engineering Corporation was
the lowest Of three bidders for con-
struction of the Government dam. or
about $4,000 under the next lowest
bidder. AS a result the Engineering
Corporation had charge of the entire
project. the total cost of which was
about s1o00o,00o."

GORDON CONVICTION
TRIUMPH Of YOUTH
Prosecutor of Beer Baron
Lauds Sacrifice of Aide in
Government Case.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 2.-The con-
viction of Waxey Gordon, the beer
baron who didn't pay his taxes, was
triumph for youth.
His prosecutor. United States Attor-
ney Thomas E. Dewey. is 81. And his
assistants all are in their late 2Os or
early 30S.
This is in no sense personal VIC
tory" said Dewey, the youngest man
ever to hold the Office of United States
attorney here 1T is the result of three
years of constructive work on the part
of overworked and underpaid Govern
ment servants who carried on this in
vestigation against genuinely unbeliev-
able odds.
For the last two months they have
worked with me II or IA hours day.
They have given up their home lives
and they have bought their dinners out
Of the meager salaries the Government
paid thenl."
Successor to Medalie.
Dewey succeeded George T. Medahe
on his retirement from the Federal
prosecutors Office last month. He had
been Medalie's chief assistant and is
serving only temporarily as chief prose-
cutor. Dewey is a Republican and Mar
tin Conboy has been appointed United
States attorney here by President
Roosevelt.
Gordon, one of the last of vanish
ing clan who got rich in the rackets
and got caught because he didn't pay
the Government taxes on the money he
made, has prepared to fight his 10
wear sentence. His attorneys said they
will apply for ball Monday and will ap-
peal the case to the Supreme Court OF
the United States.
His conviction leaves only Dutch
Schultz In the role Of New Yorks major
Yacketeer. Dutch, whose real name IS
Arthur Flegenheimer, is under indict-
ment for income tax evasion and is in
hiding.
"If he comes out of hiding we will
bring him to trial" Dewey said Of
Schultz.
Steps Taken to Collect.
The Government already has taken
steps to collect on Gcrdon'S Tangible as
sets. 1t has placed a lien of almost
100000 on his interest in the Picca-
dilly Hotel here.
If Gordon behaves himself in prison
he will be eligible for parole in six
years. In the matter of fines, if he
fails to pay them and cannot show that
he is a pauper he might have to serve
out the fines at the rate Of 81 a day.
Federal Judge Coleman, who SEN
fenced Gordon to 10 years imprison-
ment aad fined him $4,000 with $780,
900 court cost tackled on, praised
Dewey'5 work.
IF ever again I hear the criticism
that there are no longer enthusiastic
and able young men in the Government
service, shall refer the speakers to
this case" said Judge Coleman.

CHEAP GRADE GAS
|. OIL FIELD PROBLEM
Reputable Refiner Hopes for
Regulation to Combat Un-
scrupuIous Professor.
BY WILLIAM VOIGT, JR.


TULSA, Okla, October 2l-Many
Midcontinent oil world, but none is so
acute at this time as that of the repu-
table refiner
For some time the more stable units
in this area have pinned their hope for
an improved situation on allocated re-
flnery operations similar to the Fed
eral plan of fixing allowable crude oil
production.
Proponents of this plan see it as a
means OF curtailing operations of the
reflner who accumulates a relatively
large inventory of low or middle grade
gasoline and dumps it on the market
at any price obtainable.
Bought in 1000 Cars.
Larger operators only last week
found it necessary to buy in around
1000 tank cars Of this product totpre-
vent utter collapse of the refinery mar
ket.
Without supervision of operations, it
would take only a short time for an
other such accumulation of distress
gasoline to threaten the market anew.
The new minimum price schedule for
gasoline promulgated by Secretary
Ickes, and effective December l, may
give the situation an entirely different
complexion, however.
There also is some hope closer ad-
herence by the States to their allowed
schedule of production will bring about
a reduction in the distress product.
Larger Professor Loses.
In the meanwhile. however. the lit
tie fellows. who do not have consider
able overhead costs. have been skim
ming the cream off the spot market,
while the larger professors have posted
prices high enough to return a profit
under normal turnover and found their
gasoline going into storage or their
operations cut to unprecedented low
levels.
An example of the perplexing situ-
alton showed last week end, when the
East Texas group of skimmers was
selling the low grade at to Al cents
a gallon and getting rid of a COM
paratively high percentage of its out
put while the larger units of other
parts of the Midcontinent clung to a
scent low and moved virtually moth
ing.
