The advanced guard of regular
Chinese troops moving to the relief
of Hong Kong was said to have
reached Tamsui and Shamuchung
respectively 40 and 27 miles away.
The British authority in London
who emphasized the colony's i'm

if the British had to give up
the colony, they would carry out
complete immobilization' of every
thing that could be useful to the
japanese.
If Hong Kong were lost, he said
the British could not hope TO re-
capture it until the British and
American navies regained control OF

Oil Firms Returns
From Pipelines
Limited 10 7 Pct.
District Court Judgment
Bons Bigger Profits
For Shipper-Owners
BY the Associated Press.

/ BY the Associated Press.
The Government announced today
a final judgment against 20 major
oil companies, 50 pipe line COM
/ panies and seven subsidiaries or af-
filiates which places 7 per cent
limit on returns the oil companies
may receive from pipe line invest
! mentS.
/ The Judgment was filed before
Justice David A. Pine in District
/ Court and was based on a complaint
alleging violation of the rebate pro-
visions of the Interstate Commerce
and the Elkins Acts.
The complaint alleged the pipe
lines had paid refunds and rebates
to shipper owner companies under
the guise of dividends" and that
these often had amounted to exorbi-
tant returns on the pipe line cap
! ital stock.
This gave the shipper-owners a
discriminatory advantage over other
shippers of crude oil and petroleum
products, the Government charged.
The defendant companies denied
the charges in the complaint. but
agreed to final judgment which
provided:
l. No defendant common carrier
may pay, directly or indirectly, to
any shipped IN any calendar
year beginning January l. any earn
ings derived from transports ton in
excess Of its per cent share of the
/ c. C's valuation Of the pipe line
property if the pipe line has carried
any commodities for the shipper
owner during the year.
2. No shipper -owner may receive
payments in excess of the per cent.
3. Net earnings Of pipe lines in
excess of the per cent must be put
into a special surplus account to be
used only for the extension OF ex-
isting pipe line facilities or the con-
struction or acquisition Of such
common carrier facilities, for nor
NAL and reasonable" working cap
ital requirements, or for retirement
of outstanding debt.
4. Such expenditures from the
special surplus account may not be
/ included in the valuations on which
/ the per cent rate will be based.
5. The United States may recover
three times the amount received in
violate of the agreement.
6. The pipe lines must file annual
reports on thir operations with the
Attorney General.
Oficials said that about $500 ,000.-
900 of rebates was involved In the
action.
