that between Joe Harrison and

by sparing and striking in the

almost from the start. His punchy

contest of the sort in the major

ISSUE
GRIPS INTEREST
Of CONGRESS
MCCarran's Plan for Local
Ownership Outstanding
Feature for Debate
BY LOUIJ E. WHYTE

Public utilities will be a focal
point of interest to local resi-
dents during the coming session
of Congress, according to present
indications.
The Public Utilities Commis-
sion and the utility companies
themselves are expected to be
subjected to minute scrutin.:' from
several angles.
Probably the most interesting
feature of the entire question
will be the controversy growing
out of the proposal which will be
made by Senator Pat McCarran
Cd, of Nevada, a member Of
the Senate District Committee, to
bring about local government
ownership of the local utilities.
Plan to Have Support
with the definite interest
shown by the national Admins
tration in power questions, the
Nevadan's proposition sh ou ! d
have considerable support in
Congress, especially the joint ad-
vocacy by Senators McCarran
and George Norris (R0 of Ne.
braska, for the conversion OF
Great Falls into a power plant
to be operated by the Govern
ment and to provide electricity
for Washington and the sur
rounding territory.
However, objection to such a
proposition already has bee n
voiced by Senator William H.
King CD of Utah, chairman Of
the Senate District Committee,
and his word on District matters
usually has great weight.
On the other hand, the Public
Utilities Commission will receive
support in the Senate on it's re.
quest for an increased appropria-
ton so that it may function with
a more adequate force.
KEYES BACKS PLEA
Senator Henry w. Keyes (RO
of New Hampshire. member Of
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, has announced that he
will make every effort to have the
commissions appropriation made
adequate to meet it's needs, and
the New Englander's idea will
have the whole-hearted support of
Senator Norris, who sought late
in the last session to have this
item increased.
While Senator King, who is an
ex-officio member of the Senate
District Appropriations Subcom-
mittee, has not announced a def
mite stand on this proposal, he is
understood to feel that the utili-
ties commission should have what
ever funds it needs to do its work
we'll.
He is represented as believing
that the utilities companies should
be operated by private capital,
but that they should be under
strict supervision of the commits
sion. This, naturally, cannot be
done unless the commission is
provided with sufficient funds to
carry on it's work without having
to economic too much.

2 Children Die
In ThriftOn in
Yule Blaze

Their desire to see the fam.
lily Christmas tree lighted in a
pre-Yuletide celebration cost
two small children their lives
late yesterday. They we're
burned to death when a short
circuit ignited the trees tinsel
decorations, which set fire to-
the home.
The victims, first of the 1884
Christmas season, were Richard
Lazo, 7, and his 3-year-old Sis
ter, Peggy Ann, children of Mr..
and Mrs. Manuel Lazo, of
Thrifton, near Cherrydale, Va.
The parents were absent from
the home at the time of the
tragedy.
John A. Neu, a neighbor, saw
the interior of the Lazo home
burst into flames shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock. He turned in an
alarm and raced to the home
in an effort to rescue the chill
dren. His entrance was blocked,
however, by a wall of flames.
Richard was dead when fire
men reached him and Peggy
Ann died before an ambulance
could get her to Georgetown
Hospital.
Mr.. Lazo is a real estate
