FIGHT IS
. LOOMING ON
PHONE RATE

ALEXANDRIA, Feb. 22.-Alex-
andria'S telephone war promises
to produce a bitter controversy
among members of the city council
here Tuesday night, as the formal
report announcing the reduction
Of the 10-cent Alexandria-Was ashing-
ton rate to five cents is submitted
to members of the council.
Several members Of this body
have indicated that they would
support a move of the citizens to
demand that AlexandrianS be
given unlimited calls to Washing
ton without toll charge.
Backed by Mayor
Supporting their contention that
such a request is only fair, advo-
Gates of the boycott" to force re-
ductionS here, pointed out that 1t
was only fair in comparison with
the telephone service afforded sub
scribers in other suburban areas OF
Virginia and Maryland.
While several members Of the
city council have termed such a
request as unreasonable" other
members, including Mayor E. c.
Davis, of Alexandria, contend that
city residents should be given the
consideration as those of other
suburban areas are afforded by the
utility.
A definite showdown on the
stand taken by the city council is
expected to be formally recorded
at Tuesday nights meeting Of the
council.
Like Other Areas
Advocates Of the boycott to force
reductions in local rates that
would compare with those prevail
ing in other suburban areas said
today that they would continue
circulation of petitions to demand
better service, regardless of the
recently announced reductions in
the Alexandria-W ashington toll
charge.
Substance of the controversy
looming here appears to be for a
service such as that afforded in
Montgomery county, Maryland,
and Arlington county, Virginia,
whereby unlimited calls are per-
mitted without toll charges.

COAL ACT FOES
CITE NRACASE
International News Service

The Supreme Courts unanimous
decision outlawing the NRA today
was cited by foes Of the Guffey
coal act, which is slated for argu-
ment before the high tribunal
within three weeks.
In a brief filed on behalf of
Kentucky coal companies. former
Federal Judge Charles I. Dawson,
Of Louisville, cited the Schechter
NRA decision in an effort to show
that Congress cannot control pro-
duction of coal.
While cnceding that Congress
can limit interstate business IN
soft coal within limits, he asserted
that Congress in the Guffey act
attempted to regulate every phase
of the business. The brief said:
"In this case, if the court
should rewrite the act SO as to
cOnfine the fixing of prices and
the regulation of contracts to
sales made in interstate COM
merce, we would have an act
plainly never intended to be
passed.
Furthermore, when we con-
slider that IA per cent Of the
coal produced in the United
States is sold within the State
where produced it becomes at
once apparent that price-fixing
confined to interstate sales will
be entirely ineffective in accom-
plishing the declared purpose Of
Congress to stabilize prices"
Congress, the brief asserted,
recognized that coal mining is not
interstate commerce by using the
taxing power in an effort to regu-
late the industry.

kindly thought of cheer.
"Merry Christmas" she cried,
as she handed bright colored par

"The very same to you," said
she, with questioning look of sur

proudly unwrapping pair of pref

two little girls around the corner,
danced up and down with joy when
they saw the snowy handkerchief
with colored borders. Marelu
smiled happily as she left the little
girls and proceeded to her next
stop. Effie Lynn was overwhelmed
with surprise when a gift was hand

been years since she had received
a Christmas present.
After several other interesting
calls Marelu started for home. The
street lights flashed on and the
glimmering Christmas trees joined
in the ceremony on all sides of

admired the grandeur of the dark
