Two States 0vercharged
For Power, Rankin SAYS
BY the Associated Press.

DS Vic hshOCltteu ITobb.
An assertion that power consum-
ers in Pennsylvania and Maryland
were overcharged more than $685.
100000 annually was made yester-
day by Representative Rankin, Dem
ocrat, of Mississippi.
What pity We do not have a
T. v. A. on the Susquehanna River"
Mr.. Rankin said. adding:
'The record shows that in 1898
the American people were still over
charged $3.50, ,392,747. according to
the T. v. A. rates 80 and that the
people Of Maryland were over
charged $13,191, ,408 and the people
Of Pennsylvania $72513,570, accord
ing to the T. v. A. rates.
These are the two States that
use practically all the power gener-
ated at the Conowingo Dam. 1t is
distributed through the Philadelphia
Electric Co., and could be distributed
at T. V. A. yardstick rates without
loss to legitimate investors"
Mr.. Rankin submitted his figures
to the House in defense of the Fed
eral Power Commission and its IA
year-old investigation of the costs of
the ConcWingo project on the Sus-
quehanna River near the Pennsyl-
vania Maryland border.

Finn Returns Home
To Burn Il Down
Ancestors Had Done
Same Thing, So He
Insists on Tradition
BY WILLIAM L. WHITE.

HELSINKI (By AirmaiD. - At
first I was inclined to doubt the
story Of the old man who burned
up his own house. even though the
people who told it offered to supply
his name. They could not show
me the house because that village
IL now in the hands of the Rus
SLAMS.
But had just come from Ger
many and was used to discounting
stories purposefully circulated among
a people to convince them that they
are really as brave as they would
like to hope; and also at that time
did not know the Firms.
I have been among them a week
now and have been watching their
courage, and this courage is some
thing so cold and intense that YOU
would almost be a little afraid of
1t. because it is kind that I have
never seen in my own people or in
any other nation. First, it is not
the kind which is born of military
bands and newspapers and orators
and loud-speakers all loudly blatting
the same thing together, reassuring
a people that it is very brave and
dauntless and prosecuted and the
enemy only feeble, treacherous low
born swine who are afraid to fight
This noise turns out plenty of
big-mouthed patriots who yell and
glover in the cafes and pound the
tables when they Law down the law
except that there is no one there
to lay it down to. as all the other
people at the cafe tables agree with
them exactly. and so everybody
pounds the tables and glares around
At exactly the same place in the
argument, except the walters who
are busy filling the beer mugs and
emptying the ash trays and so
have time for only as much politics
as will insure that they hold their
Jobs.
Set Fire to Houses.
Most Firms think they will prob
ably win. but you can also see that
they will be Just as brave if later
they come to see that they will not,
and at the same time they still will
be able to smile (Which the table
Founders never cam and to keep
right on working hard and we'll to
the end. The way they work does
not depend on making a big show.
for fear some one will report you
for not being patriotic: all this is
getting not SO far away from the
old man who burned down his house
AS you might think
The old man lived in a frontier
village along the shores of a lake.
and his son was not there when
word came that the Russians were
coming, because he was already in
the army. Working very fast and
very quietly, the people piled every
thing they could into their wagons
and then, with the little children
sitting on top of the mattresses.
they started to drive to the next
village. which was only three lakes
beyond, but where, the soldiers told
them. they would be safe because
the Finnish Army would make it's
stand along the second line of lakes,
After they were gone the soldiers
would set fire to the houses, be-

cause for many centuries the Firms
have burned their houses before
leaving any village to the Russians.
The wagons had been gone about
an hour when the soldiers, who
were eating their lunch in the viii
lage before burning it down, saw
the old man trudging back down
the road. and they said to each
other that they must be kind to
this old fool, who probably would
ask them not to burn his house be-
cause, after all, 1t was a poor house
and would do the Russians no good.
Agreed to His Request.
The old man began as they had
thought. He said his house stood
apart from the others. but explained
that he had come back to make very
sure that it was burned, as 1t had
been burned by his grandfather be-
fore him and his grandfather's
father before that, at other times
when the Russians came, but be-
cause the soldiers were from Hell
sinki and new people In this village,
he was not sure they would know
this. So the soldiers from Helsinki
agreed that he might burn down
his house. Then the old man car
ried from the barn bundles of straw
from his own fields and piled them
high to the rafters, which were
timbers cut from his own woods.
and set the straw ablaze with Goals
from the fire which had cooked
the last meal. When the yellow
straw fame stood as high as his
head in the room he went out the
door and on up the road where
the carts had gone, without look
ing back-so all right, but hold
everything and wait a minute.

sirens start screaming and out of
my hotel window people are scat

don't worry about the old man who
burned his house-he will be all

HAMILTON ASSAILS
THIRD TERM MOVE
Says Leadership Of Republi-
can Party IS Needed AS
Never Before

WASHINGTON, June 10. - up -
John Hamilton, republican natlona
chairman, declared today that
third term for President Roosevelt
would imply a trend toward totall
tarianism," and said the Leadership
of the republican party is needed as
V before"
Arranging final details for the ma
tional convention at Philadelphia
which he said would be 1.-THE me
important in the history of the
party'-Hamilton asserted:
There is a very grave danger &c
our democratic institutions in the
prospect of a third term"
The nation, he said, would look 70
the republican party to rescue 1t
from the mire Of dependency IN
which the inept, extravagant and
wasteful new deal administration has
enveloped the American people"
National defense was "woefully de-
ficient," he said, despite large sums
expended during seven years of new
deal administration. He added:
ADEQUATE defense cannot be left
to those who have mishandled this
most vital problem"
Another republican, Thomas E.
Dewey, a candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination, demanded that con
eress remain in session because in
a time of world crisis the destiny OF
the United States must not be left
in the hands of one man"
Particularly it should not be left
in the hands Of a man who has Sur
rounded himself with incompetent
advisers" Dewey said in an inter-
view at New York.
Developments in the capital ur-
Ing the day made it probable that
congress would remain in session
far beyond the June p date which
democratic leaders once tentatively
set for adjournment. Speaker Bank
head said it appeared that congress
could not adjourn by that date.
This presumably means that con-
eress will be in session during the
republican national convention which
opens June "a and possibly through
the democratic convention at Chica-
90 beginning July 1. In 1886, when
a similar situation arose, a gentle
mans aereement' was arrived at
whereby congress convened at peri
odic intervals and then recessed i'm.
mediately without conducting bust

ASHEVILLE, June 13-R-The
fourth United States circuit court
of appeals today took under advise
ment the question Of the constitu-

of paying negro teachers lower
salaries in public schools than are
paid similarly classified white
teachers.
The small appellate court room
on the third floor of the federal
building here was packed as it rare.
ly has been during a circuit court
session. Dozens of negroes, most
of them from Norfolk, where the
case on appeal originated, attended
the session.
The constitutional issue :
raised during the argument of the
appeal of Melvin o. Aston, Nor,
folk negro teacher, from a district
court ruling refusing to force the
Norfolk city school board to pa!
him on an equal basis with white
male high school teachers.
Alston's attorneys, Thurgood Maj
shall Of New York, and William H
HASTE of Washington, both negroes
asked the court to find that the
difference in Alston's pay and tina
of white teachers was based or
arbitrary and unreasonable dis
elimination caused soelely by race
OR color"
On this basis, the attorneys ask
ed the court to find that such dis.
elimination was a violation Of the
equal rights clause of the four
teenth amendment to the constitu
ton, and to rule that the lowel
court erred in dismissing without
hearing Alston's petition for a wri

On the other hand, attorneys fol
