troops landed on Mindanao island
in an apparent attempt 10 extend
and consolidate occupation Of the
islands.
The new Japanese action was dis
closed in war department coln-
munique which said the city Of
Zamboanga on Mindanao was in
flames. Enemy troops landed, at
Zamboanga from four transports,
escorted by q cruiser, while other
Japanese warships shelled ports on
Cebu and Negros islands.
The communique reported "prac-
tically no grounds or air activity in
Bataan" where Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's Filiino and American
troops have extended their lines in
the past few days.
The new thrustS came at a time
when a new plan OF Allied strategy
envisaging strong counter-blows in
the southwest Pacific was reported
developing as the Dutch took over
full direction Of defensive action
In the Netherlands East Indies.
Japanese naval units including
cruiser and destroyers shelled Cebu

Washington Gas Light Co. are to
be resumed at 10 am. Friday before
the District Public Utilities Com
mission. with counsel for the OPA
continuing to examine gas company
officials regarding various expenses
now charged to operation costs paid
by consumers.
There are indications that the
PUG majority may call halt on
such examination since it ruled
yesterday that some of the aims
of the questioning of Harry R.
Booth. OPA utilities counsel. were
beyond the scope of the current rate
adjustment hearing
When the hearing was adjourned
yesterday, Mr.. Booth was examining
company witnesses about depreCia-
ton accounting procedures and
Gregory Hankin, commission mem
Der and former PUG chairman, was
asking about the propriety OF the
company charging certain advertis-
ing costs to consumers. Income tax
accounting previously had been
challenged by the two.
Mr.. Booth said he would try to
have ready Friday an OPA state
ment about application of the Fed
eral program against price imitation
to the pending question of a gas
rate boost, but that he could not
guarantee it would be completed.
Company Seeks to Close Case.
After testimony is finished, he
said. he would need about two
weeks for preparation of briefs but
that If the PUG wished arguments
presented orally, a somewhat less
time would be required.
Company officials yesterday were
insisting on an early closing OF the
case and are expected to renew such
demands Friday. Adjusted rates
for the new year were supposed TO
have gone into effect September /.
under normal operation of the slid
ing scale plan.
While there we're yearly rate re-
ductions under the sliding scale
plan until last year, there Is now
pending a question of a rate boost
of 1924 900 to $357 1000.
Late yesterday Mr.. Hankin issued
a formal statement in which he took
issue with the PUG majority, James
H. Flanagan and Brig. Gen. Charles
w. Kutz, in ruling beyond the scope
of the present hearing certain ques-
tions raised by the OPA represent
ative.
Would Curb Imitation.
Mr.. Hankin said:
Il did not, and do not, join in the
prepared statement read by tie
chairman. Being thoroughly in ac-
cord with the Presidents efforts to
prevent imitation in the cost OF liv-
ing as set forth in his Labor Day
address, I am, of course, in thorough
agreement with the OPA that un-
warranted increases in rates should
not be tolerated by this commission,
and that this commission, as a part
of the Federal Government, should
support the administrations policy.
"Of course. it is desirable that
the present proceeding be expedi-
tiously terminated, but it is still
more important that the issues be
accurately determined. I find that
the evidence brought out by counsel
for the OPA in his cross-examina-
tion of the company's witness is
relevant, not only to the question
whether increases in rates would be
justified by present economic con-
ditions, but also whether they would
be justified under the sliding scale
arrangement, If that arrangement
were fairly and properly applied"

Science, man is the true image of

but has now lost his perfection,
then mortals have never beheld in
man the reflex image of God. The
lost image is no image. The true
likeness cannot be lost in divine
reflection. Understanding this,

ganization slate. About 20 votes
were won over from rural New
Castle County, but the deciding
ballots came from sympathizers in
Sussex County. On the question
of the secret ballot only one Kent
delegate and one Sussex delegate
voted with the organization. Po-
litical observers said the revolt in
Kent was due to the belief on the
part of KKent County Democrats
that they had not been receiving
their just due from the organiza-
ton leaders. 1t was pointed out
that Kent County has consistently
gone Democratic in the past, but
has not received as much patron
age as it deserves.
