Verbal Clash
Marks Heariinq
On Power Rates
Treasury Procurement
Attorney Rebuked
By Flanagan
BY DON S. WARREN.

A series of legal maneuvers
marked this mornings session Of
public hearings on rates of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co.. with at
torneys for intervening Federal
agencies demanding they be fur
nished all of the working papers"
used by the chief accountant of the
Public Utilities Commission in ar
irving at his formal recommended
tions,
This provoked protracted ex-
bers, Corporation Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech. Harry r. Booth
an OPA attorney. and Thurman
Hill, Treasury Procurement Divi-
sion counsel.
At one point Mr.. Hill read para
graph from the Districts utility
law, stating Il presume the COM
mission wishes to follow the law
but that may be wild presump-
ton"
Immediately, Mr. Keech took the
floor to object, but James H. Flan-
agan, the PUG chairman, broke in
to reprimand the Federal attorney.
He sald Il take distinct objection to
such a remark and I ask you to re-
frain from using such language in
the future
Stricken From Record.
Mr.. Keech then moved that the
language be stricken from the rec
ord and this was ordered.
The corporation counsel had
argued that the PUG chief account
ant, V. A. McElfresh, had submitted
series of exhibits representing his
findings and recommendations and
that his working papers were not
public records.
Nathan I1ubar, an attorney rep
resenting the Mid-City Citizens
Association, interjected an argu-
ment that since Mr.. McElfresh's
salary was paid by the public, all
his calculations were public prop
erty.
Over the objection of Gregory
Hankin, PUG minority member,
Chairman Flanagan, supported by
Engineer Commissioner Charles w.
Kutz, ruled that the several large
volumes of the accountants working
papers be not made available. but
later. after a conference between
counsel, the issue was smoothed,
temporarily, at least, by an agree
ment that Treasury experts could
confer with Mr.. MacElfresh and
obtain data from his working papers
on three subjects for which specific
requests had been made. These sub
Jects were taxes, depreciation and
retirements.
Holcomb Motion Denied.
Earlier, Chauncey Holcomb. coun-
sel for the Public Buildings Admin
lstration, demanded a ruling on a
motion that the present sliding scale
case be consolidated with the larger
issues of abrogation or major re-
vision OF the plan. The motion was
denied, with~Mr Hankin dissenting.
AT the outset of the case, the PUG
majority had ruled the present hear
ing would be confined to the notice
OF hearing, with the hope of an i'm
mediate rate reduction, and that
Immediately thereafter the COM
mission would investigate and hold
hearings later on abrogation or
changes in the plan itself.

the loss to his outfit of truck
load of beer which a native prince
had sent to the barracks. The
boys had almost unloaded the
kegs when the company COM
mander appeared, saw what was
going on and. then made the mar

days before the 18th and was not
particularly surprised. So he
spent the day doing horizontal

of some bombs and grenades by

there were no outstanding mem
cries of the day. He says he can
make no claim to ending the war.

Guiding fact to be remembered
about the Stain Hull news from
Moscow is that the Russian news
papers exist, not primarily for the
purpose of giving out news, but to
further the interests of the Soviet
government. Commenting upon
the trend of the talks, therefore,

is what is now occurring. Many
were discouraged at the OPPOSE
ton which arose over early dis
cussions about raising the levels
of Pend Orielle lake in Idaho and
Flathead in Montana, but out of
this has come a 10-man commits
sion representing the five north
west states and new and healthy
emphasis on state rights.
Throughout the west this
commission is now working with
federal and state agencies toward
a common agreement. Its efforts
need the impact of unified sup
port if we are to get anywhere
in congress, for you must remem-
Der that New York has more votes
in the house of representatives
than all the west. -
Montana will not lose Flat
head lake, but Montana must have

not to become a ghost state like
the ghost cities of the southwest"
... State Rights Stressed
The state of Washington insists
on control of Columbia river
where its waters flow through the
state and must concede similar
rights to its .neighbors, Ed Davis
asserted. After all, he said, even
if there should be no storage what
ever in the upriver states there
are O,OO0-acre feet behind
Grand Coulee dam in that part Of
the Columbia river valley already
submerged and this storage can
be used eight times in the dams
built or projected downstream.
"Our entire efforts should now
be directed toward bringing about
more dams, more river transpor-
tation, more reclamation, more
industries, more power and more
population"
Kirk Thompson of Spokane,
manager of the Tidewater Trans
portation company, and Capt. A..
Lappaluto of Vancouver, Wash,
manager of the Inland Navigation
company, outlined plans for ex-

is removed and Umatilla and other

CHARITY AT HOME

The December number of the
! American Legion Weekly, New
York City, declaring its complete
agreement h the editorial,
contained t h e following from
| The indianapolis News. an indie
pendent newspaper, esteemed for
its consistency and devotion to
the public veal:
The time has come for t b e
people of the United States to
ask whether their Government
intends to keep on playing Santa
Claus to the world. American
foreign policy is becoming joke
all over the world. The war aim
of every one of the Allies. except
the United States. has been made
clear.
Britain is fighting for its en-
pire. Mr.. Churchill has made no
boues ABOUT that. And eve n
though many Americans disagree
with his insistence on empire,
they have applauded his forth
rightness and candor. Russia is
fighting not only for her nation
al independence. but for buffer
states. China is out to do away
with extraterritorial rights for
all time. The Netherlands is
looking toward the restoration OF
empire. Th e Giraud-DeGau
Free French movement is pinned
to the re-establishing Of t h e
French colonial empire. Every
one of Americas allies know
what it wants and what it ia
fighting for.
| And yet h e United States
keeps on insisting on paying the
major share of the bills, on pro-
viding the food and the equip
ment and the manpower for some
vague "freedoms." which even to
stanch liberals seem empty i n
view of the Administrations &C.
tons in certain diplomatic situa
tions.
Is it true that the United States
is fighting for the empires of its
allies? Is it's manpower to die
for the conquering of some other

RUNAWAY MONEY

Thousands of war workers,
with more money than judgment,
are spending the United States
into initiation.
Money is slipping through open
fingers in swift green torrent.
Women who used to earn So a
week as house maids are now COL
Letting $50 a week at the factory
pay window. Not that there's
anything wrong in that. It's
what they're doing with the mon.
ey that sends up the danger sig
nal.
1t is natural that those who
have more money n o W should
want to buy some of the luxuries
they have had to deny themselves
in leaner times. But spending
without restraint is of benefit to
no one. 1t jacks up prices; it
lowers the buying power of the
individual who is sticking to an
important civilian job at a peace
time salary; 1t jeopardizes the
economic stability of the entire
nation.
The kind of spending that is
too common is evident n the
class of merchandise which is Of
ten advertised today. Dresses
that sell at S75, pocketbooks at
prices of $40 and up, are boldly
pictured. Even mail order houses,
whose appeal has been to the low
erincome group, now find it good
business to feature $500 fur coats
on their covers.
it is estimated that retail sales
will zoom to $50, 900, 100000 this
year. compared with $42, 900, OO0,-
900 in 1889. Now ruinous inha-
ton can BE- checked. if more war
workers will come to realize the
Importance of handling their
money more wisely-of putting
reasonable proportion of it into
war bonds. savings and invest.
ments, instead of spending it all
now on things which have no
lasting value.
If they don't it is quite likely
that the Government may be OBJ
liged to enforce a compulsory
savings plan whereby a certain
percentage of wages will be with
held at the source and returned
after the war. The free-spend-
ing war worker won't like this,
but be can avert the possibility
by doing his own withholding"
