BY lTt ASSOCldteQ
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 22.-De-
fense employment has brought about
a decrease of nearly 60 per cent in
the amount of benefit checks mailed
daily by the Unemployment Com
penSation Commission, the commits
sion's records showed today.
The commission sent total of
800 checks averaging in totals $12,-
600 each day during The period July
] to August 18, as compared to more
than double the number of checks,
or $500, averaging $4,000 a day in
the corresponding period a year ago.
The commission reported also that
pay rolls increased approximately As
per cent in the first quarter of this
year over last. The second quarter
returns are incomplete, bHt commits
sion officials said those already re-
ceived indicate the increase during
that period this year over last would
amount to approximately 25 per
cent.
The fact that some emergency
work, such as the construction of
cantonments in Virginia, already
had been completed before the Sec
ond quarter this year was consid-
cred partly responsible for the COM
paratively smaller increase.

During the week ended August

member bank reserves arose from a
decrease of S134 100000 in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve banks
and from increases of S25 900, 900 in
reserve bank credit, S7,000,00 in gold
stock and $4,000, 900 in Treasury cur
rency, offset in part by increases of
s48,000,000 in money in circulation,
SIT .000,0 in non-member deposits
and other Federal Reserve accounts,
and $16000,000 in Treasury cash.

over spreading governmental con-

however, remained sustaining in

Excellent Peach Outlook
Hailed at Hagersfown

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Aug. 22.-
Excellent prospects" for a good
peach crop were reported today by
Washington County orchardists,
especially if the weather stays warm
and sunshiny for the next few days.
Most growers said the Alberta
peach crop was expected to be the
finest in some years and a good
price seems likely.
Recent rains came just in time
to bring the fruit to the right size
and the crop will be almost per-
feet" with continued bright, warm
weather.
Picking will start in a few days.
following the Virginia crop now
moving to metropolitan markets at
prices from s160 TO SITS per bushel.
Washington County growers said
they do not expect that price to
be maintained and that the first
peaches here probably will sell at
about s15O. Even if the price
sinks as low as 81, they said, they
can make a profit.
The Government is ready to step
in to stabilize the price if necessary.
So far no governmental action has
been needed with the Virginia crop.

Rs the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co.
asked the Securities Commission
yesterday to approve plan under
which it would acquire control of
pipelines in Indiana, Michigan and
Ohio through the purchase of Sc
curities and property from Columbia
Gas & Electric Co.
Panhandle proposed to buy the
stock and Indebtedness of Michigan
Gas Transmission Corp. and In
diana Gas Distribution Corp,
for s10,842 900, from Columbia Gas
and certain gas pipe lines from the
Ohio Fuel Gas Co. for S355, ,19l.
The three companies involved are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Co
lumbia Gas.
Redemption Planned.
Panhandle said that it also
planned to redeem its class A pre-
ferred stock, 500 par value, at par
and accrued unpaid dividends, and
its class B preferred stock, sl00 par
value, at S125 a share and accrued
unpaid dividends. Columbia Oil and
Gasoline Corp. holds all of the Glass
A preferred.
The proposed transactions would
be financed. Panhandle said,
through the sale of new securities,
but the details of the financing were
not disclosed.
Panhandle produces and sells nat
ural gas, carrying it from Texas and
Southwest Kansas by pipeline TO
Dana, Ind, whence it is carried on
to neighboring States IN the lines
of the other companies.
Michigan gas carries natural gas
from the Panhandle terminus into
Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
Indiana Gas distributes gas at retail
in a number of small communities
in Indiana. The line to be bought
from Ohio Fuel carries gas In In
diana and Ohio.
Common Control Urged.
Discussing the proposed acquisi-
tions. Panhandle said that efficient
operation of a long, natural gas
pipeline system requires that COM
mon control exist over all operations
between the field and the point OF
delivery"
1t added that financing may be
done on more favorable basis for
a unified system than when system
parts are separately owned"
In connection with the redemption
proposal, Panhandle announced an
agreement with Columbia Oil ex-
tending from October to next jan
uary /, the time during which the
class A preferred stock may be re-
deemed without the payment OF a
premium of $40 share.

our point of view be wrong and un'

we withhold wholehearted energy
