Reverse Hankin
On Gas Hearing
Commissioners Rule
Rute Case Must
Begin Tuesday
Earlier Story on Page A-14.)

y
In surprise development
shortly after noon today, Utilities
Commissioners Charles w. Kutz
and James H. Flanagan over
ruled a decision announced last
night by Chairman Gregory
Hankin that the annual hearing
on consumer rates of the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. would be
postponed for at least go days.
Under the Kutz- Flanagan ruling,
the hearing now will be held begin
ming at 10 am. Tuesday, as had
been scheduled prior to yesterdays
pre-hearing conference between Of
ficials of the gas company and the
Public Utilities Commission.
Agreed to Delay.
Mr.. Hankin had announced that
the hearing would be postponed
to give both sides to the case an
opportunity to prepare evidence on
a series of special questions he
planned to raise. At the conclusion
of this conference late yesterday
Mr.. Hankin announced that he
agreed with company counsel, e.
Barrett Prettyman, that additional
time would be necessary to develop
these points. Later, reporters asked
Mr.. Hankin IL this meant the case
would go over for so days or more
and he told them "yeS -
Apparently, Gen. Kutz and Mr..
Flanagan had not understood Mr..
Hankin's intention to postpone the
hearing for two months Or more
and an issue over this developed
today. Gen. Kutz and Mr.. Flanagan
ruled that the hearing should be
started Tuesday
Among the special issues Chair
man Hankin announced he would
raise we're: A question of taking
out of the company's valuation an
item of $1,055,000, representing a
difference between the original cost
Of land bought by the company
some purchases dating back to
l848. and the value placed on such
holdings in 1885 In the sliding scale
agreement: an~exaInination of the
qualifications and services of ali
company officials and company
counsel paid more than 5000 q
year: and questions about charging
to operating expenses such items
as company donations toward the
welfare and morale of its en-
ployes and contributions to the
Greater National Capital Commit
tee of the Washington Board OF
Trade.
Separate Hearings Indicated.
1t was indicated that Mr.. Elan
agan and Gen. Kutz felt that il
the major questions raised should
be examined and If they woulo
make fundamental changes in the
sliding scale agreement, they should
be treated in case separate from
the scheduled annual rate adjust
ment.
Involved in the rate case is q
question as to whether gas COM
pany rates should be increased by
1928, ,488 by operation of the sliding
scale, and it appeared that Mr.
Hankin, in raising the other issues
was seeking to forestall the rate
boost.

QUARTERS, Australia, Aug. Is
American marines have dislodged
the Nipponese from important
coastal bases in the first phase
of the battle of the Solomons.
qualified observers believed to-
day.
Failure of japanese quarters to
make any but negative references
to their land forces, coupled with
the Washington announcement that
the Leathernecks we're consolidating
their shore positions in the Tulagi
area, supplied strength for this
belief.
Quarters familiar with the topog-
raphy of the Solomons attached op-
timistic significance to the Navy
Department S assertion that the ma
r1nes were solidfying their hold on
shore positions and said this
marked progress from the COM
munique of three days ago when
it was only claimed that the Ameri-
cans were lighting to establish
beach. heads
Lack Airfield Sites.
These quarters said the interior
of the islands in the Tulagi area
were a mass of rugged Jungle
covered mountains without roads
and few fiat clearings suitable for
airf1elds. The wildness of the him
terlands might permit the japanese
to evade destruction or capture for
considerable period, but would
give them little chance of receiving
reinforcements.
An intercepted Domei report from
Batavia admitted today that "a
small enemy ground force is left on
one Solomon Island"
The London naval correspond
ent Of the Yorkshire Post ex-
pressed the belief" today that
American marines had overrun
the main airfield on Guadal-
canal Island in the Solomons
group.
1.-THE main air field has been
put out OF action" the CORES
pondent wrote. "but no details
are available to show how this
| was done. 1t Is believed that
marines overran the site.")
Japs Claim No Ships.
Revised official claims and COM
mentaries broadcast from japanese
stations in the past "a hours have
pointedly omitted assertions that
any Allied capital ships were sunk
or even involved in naval opera
tlons off the Solomons.
What purported to be a running
account of the Solomon operations.
as dispatched by the Domei Agency
from Batavia, said an Allied fleet
approached the Solomons on August
7 and commenced landing opera
tions in a dense fog.
| Then, it said, japanese land
based planes were in action all day
against Allied ships and supporting
planes, with Japanese light naval
units taking up the Tight at night
fall and attacking the Allied ships
at close range.
Neither Domei's nor other Japa-
nese accounts indicated any laree-
scale fleet action.

In 40 New England and IL South
ern textile mills, and denied a
$1-a-day increase demanded by

the Aluminium Co. of America.
A request of 900 workers in the
Buffalo plant of the American Mag
nesium Co.. subsidiary of Alcoa, for
an increase of Is cents an hour also
was rejected by the board.
The board applied wage stabii-
zation policy which it had an
nounced in deciding tie Little

aluminium workers had received sv-
erage hourly rate increases sufficient
to compensate for the Is per cent
rise in the cost of living between
January /, 194l. and May, 1942.
Labor Members Dissent.
The boards vote was to 4
against the increase, with the labor
members dissenting
The unions in the aluminium case,
however, were granted a mainte-
nance of membership clause which
provides that members of the union
will have Is days in which to resign
II they do not want to be bound for
the duration of the contract.
The clause will apply to the New

The board ordered the night shift
differential of three cents an hour on

Gus process operations, extended to

Auxiliary Firemen
Are Asked by Lands
10 Stress Prevention
Yearly Observance Finds
Thousands Throughout
U. S. Being Trained

The country's 100000 auxiliary
firemen were called on by OCD Di-
rector James NJ Lands yesterday
to make Fire Prevention Week an
occasion to impress on their COM
munities the fact that prevention
is the first law of protection against
fire.
The observance of Fire Prevention
Week this year was marked for the
first time in its history by the activ-
ity of thousands of auxiliary fire.
men recruited and trained both for
the long-range campaign against
carelessness and the wartime battle
against sabotage and enemy bombs
Many Being Graduated.
Marking the occasion, commu-
mites throughout the country are
graduating auxiliary f1remen who
have completed their training
courses. During the week, according
to the Office of Civilian Defense,
Ohio will certify and induct 5000
auxiliary firemen; Indiana, 300;
West Virginia, 600 Kentucky, 45O;
Metropolitan Chicago, 1000. In
Wisconsin, many of the 4,400 in
training will complete their courses
and $500 are awaiting training.
While pushing to completion the
training of an augmented freight
ing force, civilian defense and fire
officials of many communities are
emphasizing precautions that may
be taken by the public to prevent
damaging blazes.
Aid in Big Fires.
Chicago has scheduled fire de-
tense training courses for $4,000
civilian defense workers. Telephone
operators in public buildings there
answer calls with This is Fire
Prevention Week.
Reporting on the work of auxil-
larry firemen, OCD said they had
pitched in to help fight a $4,000
Cleveland fire, three alarm fire in
an Indianapolis war production
plant, a s25O,OOO fire in a tobacco
warehouse at Danville, KY, and
the blaze when an Army bomber fell
in flames at Newark, Ohio.
Locally. auxiliary firemen now
number nearly 1000, but Fire Chief
Stephen Porter has set 1000 men
as the goal for the service.
