Pupils Seeking
100, Pct. Vote
Work Out Schedule
TO Send Parents
TO Polls on Nov. 4
By SHANNON CoRMACK

If the district served by the
Heating School, embracing that
section OF the east side from East
Jefferson avenue 10 the river and
from Chrysler Corporations plant
10 Eastlawn avenue, doesn't turn
out "a 100 per cent vote on Novem-
Der 4, il won't be the fault OF the
Heating pupils.
Probably nowhere in the city Is
e&he enthusiasm over getting out
the vote running any higher than
smeng tAe- children at that school.
Besides following out the pro4
gram outlined by The Detroit
Times with the cooperation OF the
board of education, the children at
Heating have worked out an addi-
tional schedule Of their own to
stimulate interest in getting their
parents, 10 vote on November a.
HEAR RECORDINGS
At Keating,>. as in all other
schools. the children hear phono-
graph recordings made by De-
troits leading citizens calling on
them TO urge their parents TO go
TO the polls on election day.
Printed copies of these addresses
are given them 10 take home TO
discuss with their parents And
they hear lectures from their
teachers on citizenship and the
duty of every citizen 10 vote.
But the children themselves are
making addresses of their own.
For instance. after the childrenI
of one class have heard the re-
cording Of an address by GOVERNOR
Van Wagner or the Rev. Father
Cloud or some other speaker. those'
OF the class who can make the
best talk along the same lines are
allowed 10 address the pupils in
another class.

D. {. Leaders Inspect
Natural Gas Well
Near New Market
Believe Output Could Be
Piped Here Without
Booster Stutions

Nine civic leaders and a District
official returned last night, enthusi-
astic over prospects for making
natural gas available here from a
new we'll near New Market, Va.
The group spent the afternoon in
specting the we'll opened last month.

be piped here without use of booster
stations, the group was told. About
40 per cent natural gas is used in
the District now and is piped here
from West Virginia via two booster
stations, it was stated. The cost of a
pipe line here was estimated at
about 81 100000.
A special report on the new we'll
will be compiled for presentation to
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tionS.
The group that inspected the well
included Charles Maize, Walter 1.

Hearing on Gas Rate
Delayed; Reduction
This Year Doubted
Utilities Commission
Unlikely to Act Until
1t Obtains q Quorum

Doubt as to whether there is any
chance for a reduction in Wash
ington Gas Light Co. rates this year
was voiced yesterday by officials OF
the Public Utilities Commission as
they put off calling the annual rate
hearing to see whether the COM
mission will be given a membership
quorum in time to participate.
The commission now has only one
member. Engineer Commissioner
Charles w. Kutz. District Building
lawyers agree that one member of
the commission, or even a repre-
sentative of the agency, may con-
duct the hearing "Official de-
cisions" require vote by at least
two members.
June 30 was the end of the
test year" for calculating expenses
and profits of the company under
its sliding scale plan. Final figures
for the preceding II months are not
yet in hand, but members of the
commissions staff yesterday indi-
Gated available data did not fore
cast excess" profits last year Suff1-
cient to permit a rate cut for the
new year.
Expenses Increased.
1t was said the company expenses
had increased in the last year, both
AS to capital investment and taxes,
and other expenses attributed to
the national defense program.
Until the commission has at least
two members, it appeared, Gen. Kutz
and his staff would have to post
pone the commissions plan, an
nounced last February, to consider
a reduction in the basic rate Of
return allowed in the sliding scale
plan. This is now 6.5 per cent Of
the agreed valuation. The basic
rate of return for the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. is per cent, under
its sliding-scale arrangement.
The Chesapeake g. Potomac Tele-
phone Co. does not operate under a
sliding-scale plan for annual ad-
justment of its rates. but under the
last valuation and rate case, which
was taken from the commission to
the District Court, the decision left
the company with a rate of return
at the time of about per cent.
Kutz May Call Hearing.
Unless President Roosevelt shortly
names at least one new member to
the commission, it is expected Gen.
Kutz will fix the date for the an
nual gas rate hearing and take
testimony. Should it be found there
is sufficient profit to permit rate
cut, it is believed this will be
"ordered" providing the company
agrees officials say this would be
legal"
Last year the commission or
dered a rate cut amounting to s63,-
400 and the year before there was
cut of sl63,500.
President Roosevelt nominated
Gregory Hankin, attorney with the
Federal Power Commission, to sue
ceed Corporation Counsel Richmond
B. Keech on the commission and
fill out his term, which expired
June 30. The Senate did not con-
firm the nomination. So far, the
President has made no nomination
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Riley F. Elgen

BIowpipe Used
To Feed Oxygen
To Gas Victim
By the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, July IAN
acetylene welding blowpipe and the
quick thinking of his 18-year -old
son saved John w. Pools life today.
The son, Glenn, was arc welding
in his fathers shop while the elder
Pool tended gasoline-powered
electric generator. Carbon monox-
ide fumes overcame the father and
he collapsed.
Glenn rushed to a tank of oxy-
gen. With blowpipe he fed oxy-
gen into his fathers mouth until
his gasps became more frequent
and his color more normal.
Then Glenn called an ambulance.
Hospital attendants said the father
would recover.
