Truman Declares Wheeler
Didn't Block Wire Tapping
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Truman, Democrat, o1
Missouri protested in the Senate to-
day that Senator Wheeler, Demo-
crat, of Montana had been falsely
accused, in q fantastic attack" OF
obstructing wire tapping legislation
which, Senator Truman quoted the
attackers as saying, could have pre-
vented the Japanese from surprising
Pearl Harbor.
Senator Truman said the false
charges were based on two false
claims: First that Senator Wheeler
had blocked or could block wire
tapping legislation, and second, that
agents of this country could not and
did not tap wires used by Japanese
agents.
There is definite evidence that
agents of this Government resort
ed to wire tapping in Hawaii a long
time before the japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor," Senator Truman
said, adding that the Federal Bureau
of Investigation had mot denied any
of the newspaper articles which
state that it did tap wires of Japa-
nese spies in Hawaii"
Senator Truman said that Sena-
tor Wheeler had named him chair
man of q subcommittee to handle
any overlapping legislation and
that this group had been and was
willing to consider any legislation
that was needed.

Utility Here Asks End
Of Gas Space Heating
In New Buildings

Until Public Hearing
Can Be Conducted

officials of the Washington Gas
Light Co. proposed to the Public
Utilities Commission today that gas
heating service be denied homes or
buildings for which space heating
was not contracted prior to last Sun
day. Gregory Hankin, chairman OF
the Utilities Commission, refused to
act on the proposal until after .
public hearing can be held.
Company Ofiicials said they made
the proposal because Of the necessity
of reserving for war industries ma
terials which would be required for
pipelines. boilers and other equip
ment which would be needed for
further extension Of heating homes
or buildings by gas.
The company had expected to
have the shutdown on additional
space heating service approved at
once, according to reports at the
District Building. Company Vice
President E. j. Boothby filed a
change in the gas company service
schedules and had press releases
ready announcing the change
Chairman Hankin told him q COM
mission order would be required and
Mr.. Boothby argued, it is reported,
that the change would become auto
matically in effect unless it was dis
approved by the commission within
10 days.
Mr.. Hankin said he did not see
how the company could change any
of its schedules without Affirmative
action of the commission nor how
the commission could grant the pro-
.posed change without giving oppor-
tunity to all interested parties to be
heard.
Mr.. Hankin said Mr.. Boothby told
him similar changes in service had
been filed with the Maryland and
Virginia Public Service Commissions
and were becoming effective at once
