long hours under most unfavorable
conditions.

Car Inspection
| Extended Month
In Virginia
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 21.-The
semi-annual motor vehicle inspec-
ton period will be extended an
extra month because of the shortage
of mechanics, last weeks flood and
the occupation of farmers with har-
vesting operations, Supt. c. w.
Woodson, jr, of the State police
announced last night.
After a conference with Gov
Darden, Maj. Woodson said mo-
florists would be allowed till the
end OF November to have their We
hicles checked.
He reported the shortage of me-
chanics was particularly acute in
Tidewater Virginia and also pointed
out that the rains of last week
Topped practically week off the
original months inspection period.
Many farmers, he said, have been
so busy with harvesting, particu-
larly in the fruit-growing areas, that
they have had little time to have
their trucks and autos inspected.

PUG Approves Sale
OF S30,000,o00 cap.

Honkin Concurs in
Commission Decision
With Lengthy. Opinion

With Gregory Hankin, minority
leader, writing a 1,000-word opinion
explaining why he concurred in the
decision, the Public Utilities Com
mission yesterday formally approved
issuance OF $40 .O0O, 900 in common
stock by the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co. to its parent,
the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co.
The commission, at the conclu-
sion of a hearing October 6, an
nounced it unanimously approved
the petition. for the sale of 100000
shares at 500 par value. Mr. Han
kin stated then he would write a
concurring opinion. He had is
sued sharp dissent in an earlier
case in which the PUG majority
granted permission to the Potomac
Electric Power Co. to sell stock at
par to its holding company, the
Washington Railway & Electric Co.
Part Payment to A. T. & T.
In the telephone case, it was
brought out that the C. & P. owed
500, 975,000 to the A. T. & T. in de-
mand notes, and that $50 200, 900 of
this was to be paid by the proposed
stock issue.
| While the conversion of the de-
mand notes into stock would re-
duce the local companys rate Of
return below what Ordinarily" has
been deemed fair" company off,
Gals stated there was no intention
now or as to the immediate future"
| to use this transaction as a basis
for plea for a rate hike. This
was cited by Chairman James H.
Flanagan and Brig. Gen. Charles
w. Kutz in their opinion.
Mr.. Hankin, in his dissent, re-
peated his protest against the pro-
cedure at the hearing in the Wreco-
Pepco case, contending that evidence
finally presented was not the result
of careful study and analysis of any
substantial part of the case" In the
telephone case, he made no such
complaint.
Sees Difference In Stock.
He found a difference also, in the
telephone case, as to reasons for
waving a PUG rule there must be
competitive bidding in a stock issue.
Also, whereas he had commended
in his minority opinion in the
Wreco-Pepco case the stock sale
constituted a stock dividend" not
permitted by law, in the current
case he found the "uncontradicted
evidence" showed that if the C. &
P. stock were put on the market
lit would not bring a price in ex-
cess of 500 per share" There
fore, he concluded. this stock sale
cannot be said to be distribution
of surplus with a share of stock
attached"

District Asked
ToBegin Saving
Ifs Tin Cans
Salvage to Stort,
Though Collection
Plan Is Not Ready

additional Scrap Story on Page ALI
A formal call on District residents
and business establishments to save
and prepare for collection all avail
able empty tin cans was issued today
by James E. Colliflower for the Dis
trict Salvage Committee.
Actual collection of prepared"
cans is not to begin for several weeks,
according to Horace Walker, COM
mittee executive, but householders
were urged to begin saving the cans
today. This is in keeping with the
new national salvage program spon-
sored by the War Production Board.
Arrangements are being made for
the collection of tin cans from house
holders by the trucks of the District
Refuse Division, but details have not
been completed.
Household Slogan Suggested.
Announcement of the new salvage
program here, which will be han
died separately from the intensive,
week-long scrap campaign begin
ming tomorrow and separately from
other salvage programs. carried the
suggestion to District residents:
Make your household slogan, The
Tin You Love to Touch"
Instructions on how to prepare the
cans carried the heading:
Our Government says every pos
sible ounce must be Salvaged at
once-today, every day and for the
duration The battle cry must be
Tin to Win"
The instructions are as follows.
al. Wash cans thoroughly after
emptying contents, remove paper
labels. labels usually come off,
anyway, in flattening process)
q. Open cans, bottoms as we'll as
tops, tuck in tops and bottoms.
%. Flatten cans by stepping on
them. Leave enough space between
f1attened sides to see through. Do
not hammer them.
4, Keep your prepared cans in
suitable container, separate from
trash, until regular collection sched-
ules. Basket, box or barrel are suit
able containers"
Need for Cleaning Explained.
The committee said there were
three reasons why the cans should
be prepared as outlined. Washing
prevents deterioration of the tin
coating, assures sanitary condition
and prevents contamination of the
defining fluid, the committee said.
Removal of the top and bottom per-
mits the free flow of the defining
fluid over all surfaces of the can,
and the flattened cans will occupy
less space in collection, shipment
and defining operations, thereby
decreasing handling costs and in
creasing plant capacity for detin-
ming.
The committee said paint, oil,
varnish and floor polish containers
or cone-shaped cans were not
wanted and that evaporated or con-
densed milk cans were not worth
saving. 1t added that unprepared
tin cans would be a total loss and
if not prepared might as well go
into the regular trash.
