Albania Hears the
Call; Gets Phones

Tirana, Albania. - They're
thinking of putting Albania into
telephone connection with the
rest of the world, after all these
years.
Heretofore the department of
communications has seen no ne
cessity for introduction of eff
cient telephone service, feeling
that the citizens of mountainous
Albania wouldn't use telephones
if they had them.
The practice here is to climb
a peak and shout over to a per-
son on another. The system is
so good that news spreads over
the entire nation in a few hours.

Court Injunctions.
The utilities met this move with
court injunctions holding up the
projects until their legality could be
determined. A test of T. v. AS con-
stitutionality also was in the courts
Massive Government dams in the
West-Boulder, Bonneville, Grand
Coulee-were hurried toward COM
pletion, however, with P. w. A. funds.
In 1885 the controversy shifted
again to Congress. The Public Utility
Holding Company Act proposed to
place most of the major utility sys-
TENS under surveillance of the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission.
In clause the utilities dubbed "a
death sentence" it went further, Civ
ing the S. E. c. power to dissolve
holding companies which did not meet
certain requirements.
Again utilities spokesman argued
that investments of many working
men and women in power company
stocks were jeopardized. Among their
leaders in this fight was Philip Gads-
den, courtly 60-iSh gentleman whose
Carolina ancestors had played roles
IN such historic incidents as John
Adams Pre-Revolutionary Commit
tee OF Correspondence and the Gads-
den Purchase. An official of the United
Gas improvement Co., he is also
president of the Committee of Public
Utility Executives, spearhead of the
utilities defense.
The act was passed. however, and
this fight, too, was transferred to the
courts.
Needed Weapon Found.
This fall the administration power
experts found the weapon they need
ed for another battle. Many regula-
tory bodies felt they were hampered
IN fixing the rates which utilities
should charge for light and power by
a tme-honored decision of the ST.
preme Court.
Administration officials felt that, be-
cause the price actually paid for
utilities property was considered a
major factor. utilities sometimes paid
unnecessarily high prices for their
property. This increased the rates
which consumers paid. They also OBJ
Jected to the courts ruling that the
cost OF reproducing the plant new
should be considered. This, they said.
had nothing to do with what was
actually invested.
The administration seized the OBJ
portunity presented by a California
case to argue that the high court
should approve instead rates based on
the sum wisely invested in property
used and useful in its business.
A year ago President Roosevelt met
group of utilities executives in an
attempt to work out power exchange
between private utilities and the T.
V. A. The effort failed.
This time the President is talking
to the utility men one by one in in
formal conferences. The result de-
ponds much upon Messrs. Ickes, Ross,
McNinch and Norris, and on such men
as Messrs. Carlisle, Willkie and
GadSden.
