saw fit, and he planned to make
the countersuggestion to Harry S
Wender, president of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, and to
Wilbur La Roe jr., chairman of the
Civic Affairs Committee of the Fed

Mr. La Roe. in a letter to Mr.. Ran

Municipal Courts Power
In Price Cases CHALLENGED

The Municipal Courts Jurisdiction
over OPA price ceiling violation
cases was challenged today in a mo-
ton filed on behalf of a defendant
charged with violating the Emer-
gency Price Control Act.
Declaring the stringent penalties
for the violation would warrant the
cases being tried in District Court.
where felony cases are heard, rather
than Municipal Court, Attorney w.
Edwin Cumberland filed the motion
to quash the information against
Emory F. McKannon manager of a
drugstore at 2121 Virginia avenue
NV.
The maximum penalty is one year
in jail or a $4,000 fine, or both.
Because the offense is classified as
a misdemeanor, the cases have been
heard in Municipal Court, which
has Jurisdiction over all misde-
meanors.
Mr.. McKannon is charged with
violating ceiling price regulations by
requiring customer to purchase a
bottle of wine in order to buy
whisky. He has denied the charge,
declaring the wine and whisky were
offered as a combination sale below
ceiling price.

Civil Service Develops
SimpIified Leave Plan

A simplifled plan for authorizing
and recording leave of Federal en-
ployes has been developed by the
Civil Service Commission and the
Council of Personnel Administra-
ton. All clerical procedures must
be simplifed, the commission has
informed department heads, to save
manpower and materials.
Primarily, the new plan places
responsibility for leave administra-
ton at the supervisory level. One
or more leave advisers will be pro-
vided. They will perform an audit
of the leave record annually and
upon separation of an employe.
They will be available to super
visors to assist them in handling
any problems that may arise.
Executive Director L. A, Mover
In communication to all Federal
agencies, says, in part:
With the intent of providing ade-
quate records and controls for leave

The right of the Office of Price
Administration to file an independ-
ent suit in the Potomac Electric
Power Co. rate controversy was at
tackled in District Court today as
four Federal agencies. including the
OPA and the Office of Economic
Sterilization, opened their fight for
further reductions in power rates
here.
S. r. Bowen. Pepco attorney, in
formed Justice Jennings Bailey that
he doubted the OPA had the right to
bring suit. basing his claim on the
fact the agency docs not satisfy the
requirement of the law of being one
OF the aggrieved.'
Opening arguments on a motion of
Pepco and the Public Utilities
Commission to dismiss suits brought
by the Government. Lloyd B. Har-
rison, PUG attorney. charged that
the OPA and other Government
agencies have attempted to get the
PUG to abandon the sliding scale
method OF arriving at power rates.
Before the opening of arguments
on the motion to dismiss, Harry r
Booth, OPA attorney. outlined for
the court the background of the
case, which opened last March with
Federal study of the sliding scale
plan.

Treasury Department Procurement
Division was Pepco's biggest custo-
mer" told the jurist, I'VE think the
rate reduction ought to be at least
81 900 000.' Procurement Division
and the Federal Works Agency are
the other two plaintiffs.
The attorney also claimed the Gov
ernment has been denied "a full and
fair" hearing before the PUG when
1t first went into the rate question
later in March
He further asserted that the rates
have been "erroneouslv calculated"
and should be 'reconsidered in the
light Of the war and the Economic
Sterilization Act
Government appeals filed with the
court have attacked the PUG order
of April 26, giving consumers a rate
reduction OF Is per cent and have

be 10 per cent, retroactive to March
