Representative Reece
Sees Threat to Press

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. Dec. 3
(P.-Fear that Government victory
in its monopoly suit against the
Associated Press wbuld cause the
cooperative news AGENCY to become
"amenable to Washington bureauc-
racy" was expressed last night by
Representative Reece, Republican,
of Tennessee, in {; statement to
the johnson City Chronicle.
IF the A. P. should be held to
be monopoly" Representative
Reece said, 1T might we'll be held
to be public utility"
Such an eventuality, the Con-
gresham expressed belief, would
subject the association to Govern
ment regulation and pressure.
While establiShmd mt of the Gov
ernments charges Would be a blow
to members of the Associated Press,
the reading public would suffer
most, Representative Reese con-
tinued, because the association
would lose control land discipline"
over its members. would have to
accept undesirable publications.
and, consequently, would have no
power to maintain the high stand
ards which it has bu ilt up" through

Refunds Under New Gas
Rates Possible, Court Told

The Washington Gas Light Co.
today assured District Court that
If the Once of Price Administration
is successful in having the recently
increased gas rates set aside, any
money collected by the gas company
in excess of the old rate will be re-
funded to the public.
The company gave this assurance
in an answer opposing a motion by
the OPA that money collected in
excess OF the old rate be impounded
pending the outcome of the court
action.
The amounts of money involved
in these proceedings are exceedingly
small and there is no averment that
the company will be unable to re-
fund them If the final decision in
the case is adverse to the COM
pany," the company said.
The company also opposed being
made defendant to the complaint,
which now names the Public Utili-
ties Commission as defendant. Ar
guments on the motion are Sched-
uled for Monday.
The OPA action is an appeal from
a PUG order granting a 5000 900 in
crease in gas rates under the sliding
scale agreement for annual adjust
ment of rates. The price regulatory
body Is asking the court to de-
clare the rate arbitrary and un-
reasonable" and to set it aside.

How two Army lieutenants dived
their fighter planes at a speed of
725 miles an hour-more than IL
miles a minute and faster than the
high-altitude speed Of sound-was
disclosed yesterday.
A bystander, if there could have
been one, would have seen the planes
streak by before he heard their
thunderous roar.
The terrific speed-perhaps faster
than any human being has ever
traveled-froze their control sticks,
the pilots reported. causing them to
resort to the use of emergency
cranks to move the elevator tabs
and pull their ships out OF the dive.

BY the Associated Press
NEWPORT r. l., Dec. 3.-Five
sailors were known dead, 10 others
were missing and were safe
today after their 28-foot Liberty
boat capsized in rough water in Mar
ragansett Bay early yesterday while
returning the men from shore leave.
Firemen found five victims strewn
along the shore of Conanicut Island
near rocks where the Liberty craft of
Whaleboat design was discovered
with both ends stove in.
Known to have survived were J. B.
Kelly and l.. j. Hinsen, both second
class seamen.
Naval officers said II men were
aboard.
The Navy Public Relations ONCE
said roster would be checked in an
effort to establish the number by
process of elimination.
Manuel l.. Machado, St, a James,
town farmer, said he was awakened
at BIS am by the shouts of one of
the survivors, whom he found at his
door, soaked to the skin and weak
from exhaustion.
Mr.. Machado said the sailor told
him he clung to the side of the
boat until he felt it strike something.
THE next thing I remember
found myself lying on shore near the
boat" Mr.. Machado quoted him as
saying.
The other known survivor spent
the night in haystack. He was
taken to Newport Naval Hospital
after he was discovered by Norman
CaSwell of jamestown.

Army Flyers Tell How 1t Feels
To Dive at US Miles an Hour

Stralghtened-Out control surfaces
with such force that neither could
bulge his stick.
MY body was pushed back against
the rear armor plate" said 1t.
Dyar, "and had q feeling that any
second the plane was going to pull
away from me and leave me stranded
right there, five miles above ground
It's breathless feeling. your stom-
ach curls up; it's something like
stepping from hot shower to a cold
one"
Both resorted to the emergency
cranks to move elevator tabs.
"When rolled back on the tab"
1t. Comestock said, "the plane
shuddered as though it had been hit
by truck. Frankly, wondered
whether the tail section was still
there"
Both were credited with officially
listed speeds of 725 miles an hour.
The speed Of sound at sea level is
1856 miles an hour. but decreases as
the density Of air decreases at higher
attitudes.
Both pilots reported they retained

Britain Is Not Bound
By Dar|an Statement,
Eden Tells Commons
Government to Explain
Stand on Issue at
Secret Session
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Dec. 8-Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden told the
House of Commons today that
the British government did not
consider itself bound by the
statement of Admiral Jean Dar-
Ian, in which he assumed re-
Sponsibility as head of the
French government in Africa.
Mr.. Eden said in answer to a ques-
ton that the government had not
been consulted in advance about the
statement.
The foreign secretary announced
statement on the Darlan issue to a
secret session of the House of Com
mons The date was fixed, but not
made public for reasons of security
Mr., Eden previously had asserted
that the British government intend
ed to stand by its commitments to
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader of
the Fighting French, but he did not
state what those commitments were.
The Foreign Secretary also an
nounced that a government state
ment on the chaining of prisoners
would be made before the Christmas
recess.
Reuters quoted Algiers radio as
reporting that Marcel Peyrouton,
one time French Governor of Tu-
nisia. had placed himself at Ad-
miral Darlan's disposal.
Peyrouton left the Vichy fold last
April when he asked to be relieved
as Vichy's envoy to Buenos Aires.
The Algiers radio also said that
French Minister Henriot. in San
Domingo. and his staff had resigned
to join Admiral Darlan.
