S. B. Field, 65, who said he was

an unfortunate choice OF homes
at which to beg a handout Thurs
day night.
He was confronted at the door of
the Mike Jockridge residence by
officer George Bucklin, who had
given him a bed in the police sta

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 {U,P)-At-
torney General Homer S. Cummings
today curtly rejected a proposal
offered in District of Columbia su-
preme court to restore peace be-
tween the power industry and the
government after charging bitterly
that utilities have conspired to
wreck the federal legal machinery.
The incident occurred after the
tall, bald cabinet minister, in one
of his rare appearances in court,
had asked Justice Jennings Bailey
to stay seven suits brought here
challenging the utility holding
company act Cummings accused
the industry of refusing to CO.
operate with the government by
waiting until the federal action
against the Electric Bond and Share
Co., of New York, could reach the
U. S. supreme court.
John C. Higgins, New York lawyer
and counsel for the utilities group,
retorted sharply that the govern
ment had ignored all offers of CO.
operation and was seeking to TRY
an isolated case in its own court"
In this atmosphere of bitterness,
Justice Bailey calmly proposed that
the two factions try to reach an
agreement on suits to test the con-
stitutionality of the act.
Cummings, his face flushed, leap
ed to his feet.
II think such negotiations would
be entirely futile" he said crisply.
Higgins angrily interposed:
"Of course, we do not intend to
force ourselves upon the attorney
general"
A clerk banged gavel and court
was hastily adjourned. A decision
on the governments motion to stay
the seven suits is not expected be-
fore 10 days.
Thus the government took the Of
fensive in a battle which brought
two defeats to President Roosevelt
on Capitol Hill, resulted in the ex.
penditure of millions of dollars by
power interests and which may be

grade separation plans in the WPA
program now being inaugurated, the
United Press reported.
Overhead CROSSINGS just west OF
Beaumont and west of Indio will
remove Objectionable hazards that
exist at those points.
Plans for a subway or overhead
at FL Centre, separating the main
highway from Southern Pacific
tracks, may have to be abandoned,
however, because Of difficulties en-
countered in connection with prop
erty costs and damage suits.
Federal money which will finance
a widespread grade separation pro-
chase Of property or payment OF
damages, engineers explained. Be
cause of repeatedly excessive costs
of property where the Fl Centre
separation would be located, it was
believed this project may have TO
be dropped, the United Press re-
port said.
In commenting upon the dispatch
Phil Knights, city engineer, said
that the city council had sent in an
application asking that the sub
way or overhead crossing originally
planned for Main street, be trans
ferred to State street.
Councilmen hope that the federal
money may be used on the State
street project by means of approval
of the transfer by Works Progress
Administration officials, the engin-
eer said.
Application for the change was
made by councilmen at the request
of local residents.

they will put a team Of real power
on the field.
The Army Medicos, as they will
be known, will compete in three
leagues. One is the Third Corps
Area loop, another is the Army
and Navy Service League, while a
third is the National City unlim-
tied circuit.
The team boasts of one of the

the Walter Reed diamond. A

Hutchinson voices again the fact
that his newly organized team
plays at Indian Head, Md, Sun

the first regular game of the sea-
son for the Patsy's-a contest
that Hutchinson hopes will get his
team off to one of those grand
starts.
The Patsy's have played two
games already this season, but
both have been of the practice ma
ture. In the first, the Georgetown

found the Nationwide tosserS
biting the dust.
Jess Barnell, veteran pitcher,
