Dissidenf Methodists Get
Right TO Employ Old Name
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 26.-The
South Carolina Supreme Court held
yesterday that national unification
of three branches of Methodism was
valid, but that antiunification
groups of Methodists in the South
were entitled to use the name
"Methodists Episcopal Church,
South"
Several groups, refusing to recog-
nize unification, had organized their
own churches and used the name
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
the name of the Southern branch
before the merger.
The court also denied a congrega-
tion of antiunificationists in Clar-
endon County any right to the
property of the Pine Grove Church
in that county. 1t was from the
dispute over the Pine Grove prop
erty that the court action grew.

Action on Water,BiII
s. :
Collection System
Held Up for Rapert
43 ~
Objections Foreseen
To Beckett Plun for
Gosh Deposit in Advance

Informal debate continued today
at the District Building as to what
new system should be adopted for
collection of bills for the municipal
water service, with decision await
ing recommendations from an in
vestigating board headed by Cor
poration Counsel Richmond B..
Keech.
Water Department officials, it was
revealed, have suggested y new sys-
tenn which would eliminate the pres
ent practice under which minimum
metered bills are rendered for a
year in advance, along with charges
for excess usage recorded for past
year.
The plan of Humphrey Beckett,
Water Department superintendent,
it was explained, called for a cash
deposit at the beginning of a year,
plus a service charge. OF the de-
posit, none, part or all would be re-
turned to the customer, depending
on the amount Of water used.
Objections Foreseen.
Other District officials, to whom
this suggestion was submitted,
agreed that it would avoid some
confusion caused by the present sys-
tenn, but foresaw the possibility of
other objections. They questioned
whether the Beckett suggestion
would prove any simpler and
whether the consumer would well
come the idea of putting up cash
deposit any more than being billed
minimum charge for a year in
advance.
Members of the investigating
board, it was revealed yesterday, are
considering plan to make the
property owner specifically respon-
sible for water bills for his premises,
whether used by himself or tenants.
A part of this plan would be an
amendment to law to provide for
lien against the property in case
of nonpayment Of water bills.
Water Department officials, it was
made clear, have their doubts about
such system. They voiced fears
that tenants might use much more
water If they knew their landlords
rather than themselves would be
held responsible for bills, and
thereby place huge additional sup
ply demand on the water system.
Also, they said they feared the rent
control authorities would be loaded
with contests over water bills.
Keech Awaits Report.
Chairman Keech declined COM
ment, saying he wished to permit
the board to complete it's survey
and report to the Commissioners be-
fore discussing issues.
Meanwhile, DR.. Daniel L. Seckin-
ger, deputy health officer, announced
last night that the Board for Con-
demnation of Insanitary Buildings
had decided to hold hearings on
condemnation of two old frame
dwellings in the $500 block of F
street NV, where water service
was cut of last month for non-pay-
ment of water bills.
Early yesterday. DR.. Seckinger had
told The Star, following an inspec-
tion Of the premises by the board,
that no health nuisance" had been
found at the properties. He added,
at that time, Therefore, there is
nothing before the board as to this
property" This had led to a re-
port that the board did not plan

souciance toward Congress and their
role as "thinker-uppers" has not en-

former members of Congress
Byrnes, Vinson and Jones can get
almost anything they want from
Congress.
This leads to a saying here and
there that Mr.. Roosevelt has put
middle -of-the-road executives In
top spots to front" for brain
trusters.
But how much do all these various
individuals influence the Presidents

depends on the experiences and per-
suasion OF those you talk with:

Here are some straws In that wind,
on the word of men In high places:
When Mr.. Roosevelt, irked at
their public row, summarily cut the
old Board of Economic Warfare out
from under Vice President Wal
lace, who was its chairman, and di-
vested Jesse Jones Of his Recon-
struction Finance Corps authority
to control the BEW purse, the Presi-
dent acted on the advice of Mr.,
Byrnes, Judge Rosenman and Mr..

When r. D. r. replaced Chester
Davis as war food boss with Marvin
Jones, the President talked only to
Mr.. Byrnes about it.

0PA Hits Snaq
In Enforcing
Drink Ceilings
Many Eating Places
Fail to Turn In
April 4-l0 Prices

Price ceilings on alcoholic drinks"
remain unenforced in a large pro-
portion of the most expensive hotels,
bars and restaurants here, because
the District ONCE of Price Admin
istration does not have lists of the
prices that were being charged last
April 4 to 10. an OPA spokesman
disclosed today.
While all but to 10 per cent of
the eating places have turned in
copies of their April 4 to 10 food
menus, only few of the establish
ments that use separate menus for
alcoholic beverages have filed their
drink prices for that period, the
spokesman said.
The places using separate menus
include many of the better" restau-
rants and hotel bars, 1t was pointed
out.
The menus and drink lists are
necessary for enforcement of price
ceilings because the rate charged be-
tween April and 10 is the level at
which meal and drink prices have
been frozen.
Misunderstanding BIamed.
Reasons for the failure of such a
large number of eating places to file
their wine lists" probably has been
due to misunderstanding among
proprietors as to the requirements
OF OPA regulations, the spokesman
indicated.
He said, however, that immediate
steps will be taken to obtain the
missing" drink menus.
In virtually all cases, the OPA
official said, drink menus for the
April 4 to 10 period are still avail
able, or prices can be obtained from
the properietor's books. Printers
may be able to supply additional in
formation, based on dates when the
establishments placed orders for the
printing of drink lists.
Meanwhile, members of the Is
neighborhood price panels in the
District will begin this week to turn
their attention to an overall survey
OF the extent to which eating places
in the District are complying with
price rollback regulations.
Members of most panels will begin
calls on the restaurants late this
week, Sherwood Dodge, acting price
executive for the District OPA. an
nounced today. The panel members
will train large numbers of assist
ants, who will survey price-ceiline
compliance in the eating places be-
ginning next week.
Z Volunteers Needed.
Volunteer price panel assistants
are needed in large numbers for
this survey, Mr.. Dodge said. Any
one may volunteer either for day
or night time service by contracting
the Civilian Defense Volunteer
Once or the price panel clerk of any
local ration board .4
The stat. of price panel assistants
numbered about 300 several weeks
ago, but due to other war duties of
many of the volunteers, the turnover
has been rapid.
Only women will serve as price
checkers" in the day time, Mr..
Dodge said. A crew known as the
Swing Shift" is being organized,
however, to check price compliance
in the early evening hours. Both
men and women, most of whom are
employed during the day, are volun-
teering for evening work, Mr.. Dodge
pointed out.

U-BOAT WARFARE:
Turn for the Worse

Indications that the battle of the
Atlantic has taken a turn for the
worse were made evident when Sec
retary of the Navy Knox announced
that Allied ship losses were consid-
erably worse during the past
month.
Although the secretary gave no
estimate of the total number of u
boats the Nazis have used in their
spring offensive, he said that "just
as we expected, and as | said it
would be, there are more German
subs out there"
The subs are concentrating in the
middle Atlantic, along the shipping
routes from the United States to
England and the Mediterranean. 1t
lis predicted that the submarine
campaign will become worse before
it gets better. Naval experts esti-
mate the Axis will have 700 sub
marines operating in packs along
supply routes this spring.
To counter the U-boat offensive
the United States is rushing con-
struction of a fleet of destroyer
escort vessels, smaller than de-
stroyers.
