up men attempted to cut OH Scout

toned concerning other robberies;
two others being sought today, their
identities known to police; $17.84
and one of the bandits guns re-
covered.

Soldiers Face Civilian Trial
Only on Serious CHARGES
By the Associated Press.

6y inc hsSoCihteu fIeoS.
Soldiers charged with civil offenses
will be surrendered to civil authori-
ties for trial only when the charge
is extremely serious, the War De-
partment said today.
The announcement noted that it
was department policy, under the
articles Of war, to refuse in wartime
any civil request for custody Of men
subject to military jurisdiction un-
less the offense was q felony which
would disqualify the offender foS
military service.
Even in such cases. the Army will
turn the offender over to civil au-
thorities only when his commanding
onicer believes the available evidence
is suficient to establish q prima
facie case.
Requests for civil custody Of mill
tary personnel must be accom-
panied by copies of the charges or
indictments, and summaries of the
evidence on which they are based,
the department said. In doubtful
cases, the commanding oficer will
forward the material to the War
Department for q decision.

Responsibility Issue
Raised by Hankin on
illegal B|ackouts
Keech Weighs Question
Of Liability Under
Utility Service Changes

Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech today had under considera-
ton questions raised by Chairman
Gregory Hankin of the Public Util-
tiles Commission as to whether any
regulated utility concern be subject
to legal responsibility for accidents
attending defense activities not ap-
proved specifically by this agency.
So far, no Official action has been
taken to refer, formally, any such
questions to the corporation counsel
for an opinion. In view Of the issue
raised by Mr.. Hankin, it, was ex-
pected this would be done.
Mr.. Hankin had contended that
orders for hacksuts here were Ill
legal"-at least in their effect on
utilities-unless approved by the
Utilities Commission. Reminded OF
the Blackout Act, he remarked:
"A general statute, recently en-
acted, does not supersede earlier
statutes covering the same subject"
Asked whether the commission
should be consulted on the question
ef blackouts even in event Of an
actual air raid, he said: 1T would
not be proper, as q lawyer, for me to
issue any legal advice on any specific
question before it is raised"
On the more general point Is to
what are the requirements Of Wash
ington's public utilities, MIR. Hankin
said: Public utilities in Washington,
under existing law, must render
services in accordance with rules
and regulations of the commission. "
He added it would be simple
matter for the local defense officials
to issue their orders through his
Office. If they did, he said, the Serv-
ices rendered by the utilities in con-
nection with the civilian defense
program would be legal" Con-
trariwise, he said, civilian defense
orders issued without consultation
with the commission would consti-
tute variations Of service from those
authorized by law" and such pro-
ceedings he protested.
Continuing this thought, he said:
Nov, let us suppose that on account
of this variation in services, some
one is damaged. If the order varying
the services is authorized. then the
utility has a good defense. But II
the variation Is not authorized, then
the order issued is no defense to the
public utility"

clude such revisions in the use of
strategic materials as could be made.
Wherever possible. he said. non
strategic materials will be substituted

use of substitute materials would
reduce the total cost of the first
unit approximately $4,000.
The building, which would provide
about $1,000 square feet Of Office
space. is about 20 per cent finished,
and the contract. calls for compile

The contract is still in force, but
the builder is able to, proceed only
on work for which prioritieS are not
required, Col. Snow said.
The authorized cost of the first
unit is $1,118,0O0 OF which a total
of $950,000 has been appropriated
to date. An additional $228, 900 has
been requested in the 1943 budget
