Roosevelt Opposes
Measure 10 Abolish
n. Y. A. and T.. T.. T..
Tells Congress Agencies
Should Be Continued as
Port of War Effort
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today op-
posed a bill to abolish the Ma
tional Youth Administration and
the Civilian Conservation Corps
and said the agencies should be
continued as part of the coun-
trys war effort.
Paul v. McNutt, social security
administrator, gave to the Senate
Labor Committee. which is studying
the bill. letter from the President
which said:
Il feel that the youth agencies
have definite place in the .all-out
war effort The 1943 program of the
National Youth Administration to
train approximately 100000 youth
for war industries and other essen
tial work will be definite and nee
essary contribution to our expand
ing labor requirements.
The Civilian Conservation Corps
work on Army reservations is needed
to prepare those reservations for full
utilization. Likewise, the remaining
projects of the corps which are now
limited to those essential to the va
rious phases of our war effort and
so located as to provide protective
services in vital areas should not be
discontinued at this time.
Soldiers Released for Duty.
1T is unfortunate that it is not
/ generally known that the employ
ment of these youth in some cases
releases soldiers for active duty and
in others involves tasks which would
require the employment of adult
civilians. I also feel that it should
be made clear to all our citizens that
by far the greater number of those
on the rolls are Of pre- military age
and that the training which they
receive is preparing them for such
service as they may be called upon
to perform when they become of
military age.
In view of the above I cannot
agree with those who take the DO
sition that these agencies should be
terminated and, accordingly, you are
advised that S. 1926 does not meet
with my approval"

|Fu||.F|edged Inquiry
Of Gas Rates Ordered
By Utility Board
DeodIine on Installing
Space Heating Equipment
Fixed at Meeting

A full-fledged investigation of the
rates of the Washington Gas Light
Co.-not the usual annual sliding
scale adjustment-was ordered to-
day by the Public Utilities Com
mission in a session in which Chair
man Gregory was outvoted in some
instances by Board Members James
H. Flanagan and Charles w. Kutz.
The action on the gas company
rate question was similar to that ta-
ken some weeks ago by the P. U. C.
when 1t ordered an investigation
of the rates charged by the Potomac
Electric Power Co.
In that case questions were asked
as to the control held by the North
American Co. over Pepco. the extent
OF its profits and other financial
data. 1t was said then that the
commission might consider some
other form of rate control If it
found one more desirable than the
sliding scale arrangement under
which there has been a rate cut
each year since 1925 except for this
year. This years power rate hearing
has not yet been scheduled.
At today's executive session of the
P. U. c. the commission also au-
thorized the gas concern to refuse
to install space heating equipment
in any buildings for which contrac-
tual arrangements had not been
made by February 1s. Chairman
Hankin disagreed with the other P.
U. c. members on the advancement
to February 18 Of the date of March
l set by the War Production Board.
The commission approved in prin-
ciple petition by the Capital Tran
sit Co. for a proposed rerouting Of
buses so as to avoid congestion on
certain downtown thoroughfares by
having many of the buses use Gov
eminent buildings as terminals" Of
lines. Before any rerouting is or

report will be made by Fred A..

The commission dismissed a mo-
tion by the Capital Transit Co. for
dismissal of petition of a number
of citizens associations for the sale
of streetcar tokens at the rate Of
three for 25 cents. Commissioners
Flanagan and Kutz concurred in the
dismissal of the company motion.
