BRITISH ARE HAPPY
L.. =. TOOK ACTION

He emphasized there was no
British regret over United States
occupation of Iceland.
Whether similar satisfaction
will be felt in Germany is another
question and one which hardly
concerns us this morning" the
prime minister added. Laughter
greeted this remark.
The second principle of United
States policy which has led to the
occupation Of Iceland has been de-
clared to be the will and purpose
of the president, congress and peo-
pie Of the United States not only
to send all possible aid in warlike
munitions and necessary supplies
to Great Britain, but also to make
sure we get them, Churchill said
Here again. this is course OF
action for which the United States
must take fun responsibility"

United Gas Asks Delay
For Integration Plan
By ths Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Securities Commission took
under advisement today a request by
the United Gas Improvement Co. for
a two-week delay in beginning a
hearing on a plan for integration of
the system suggested by the Com
mission.
William Clarke Mason Phila-
delphia attorney representing the
company, asked for more time to
prepare presentation of the case and
also to work out some possible short
cuts in the proceeding, which has
been pending nearly year. S. E. G.
Chairman Jerome Frank said that
a decision would be made in a day
or two.
The S. E. c. plan for integrating
the U. G. I. system would limit it to
a group of electric properties in an
area roughly 80 by 80 miles centered
in Philadelphia.
The Commission also took under
advisement a request by Arnold H.
Hirsch, an attorney representing H.
Jerome Jaspana of Philadelphia, a
Pennsylvania State Senator, who
wishes to intervene in the case as
consumer Of gas and electricity.
Hirsch said that he would urge the
Commission to order separation of
control of gas and electric utilities in
Philadelphia in order to assure COM
petition. He said that the present
relation between Philadelphia Gas
Works Co. and U. G. l. was such
