 Teruel, Dec. 27.-(UP)-Frorn house to house and street to street, conquering government forces car. ried on their extermination today of rebel bands trapped in the ruins of the old quarter of Teruel.
 I watched the battle to the death from the Mercado cafe in the heart of the city. where the allays of the ancient quarter rang with stray bul- lets.
 Tn some sections of the business district the rebels were giving way slowly through @ labyrinth of cel- lars, making 1t impossible to deter mine their number definitely.
 Civilians Trapped
 Refugees said that Q number of civilians were trapped in the city, many of them women, unable to es- cape because of the continuous tir- ing from basements and cellars.
 From the cafe firing could De heard coming firm the Bank Of Spain building. It was impossible to cir culate freely over this wide outlying district because of the intense cross fire. .
 what proportion of Teruel still was held by the remaining insur- gents was difficult to say. The Sem mary and Bank of Spain were in rebel hands. No mention has been mad of the fall of the civil guard barracks or the Convent of santa Clara. These four buildings cover approximately only two per cetn ol the freq of Teruel, and the nulH of the city was in possession ot the

 A licensing system as @ curb on monopoly was proposed in 6 bill in. troduced by Senator William E. Borah, Republican, Idaho, and Jo. seph 0, OMahoney, Democrat, Wyo- ming.

OLD SETUP

Under the courts decisions span
ming 80 years public utility bodies
have been required to consider
original cost of utilities and cost of
reproducing them new at present
day prices to arrive at a "fair
value"
The "prudent-investment" rule
could work both ways either for
higher or lower rates to the public.
But since cost of utility construc-
tion has increased the original cost
usually is less than reproduction
cost.
Justice McReynoldS raised the
question of how the rule might
work to make utility rates higher.
HOW 1T WORKS
"What does prudent invest
ment mean?" he asked Ryan.
1T means" Ryan replied,
"that if you invest million
dollars in a utility, if that is
the cost, you should be per-
mitted to charge rates to earn
a fair return on it,"

u. S. HIGH COURT.
WEIGHS APPEAL
ON PRECEDENTS
Power Counsel Asks
Scrapping of Decisions
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

UN.S0 For the second time
in five weeks the Supreme Court
today considered an Administra-
ton proposal that it scrap past
decisions.
The Administration, it became
apparent, will seek to change many
basic rules Of law laid down by
the court in the past, even if it
does not, by law, change the COM
plexion Of the court.
POWER COUNSEL HEARD
The second proposal was made
by Oswald Ryan, counsel for the
Federal Power Commission. He
urged the court to abandon a line
OF decisions dating back 80 years
under which public service COM
missions are required to consider
reproduction costs in fixing rates.
The first move of the Admin
tStration to reverse past decisions
was made when Solicitor General
Stanley Reed proposed that the
court scrap three decisions on the
right of States to tax contractors
on Federal projects.
The court is expected to an
nounce decisions on both issues
within the next month-and per.
haps settle definitely whether the
court has accepted the liberal con-
stitutional proposals of President
Roosevelt.
Ryan. for the power comission,
proposed that the court adopt the
prudent investment" or original
cost theory Of valuing utilities.
Mr.. Roosevelt has endorsed this
view. The issue was raised in con-
Sidering gas rates of the Pacific
Gas and Electric Company Of Cali
