Fourth Agency Asks
Court 10 Cut PEpC0
Rates 100000

Another Federal Government
agency has instituted court action
In an effort to compel the Potomac
Electric Power Co. to reduce its
electric rates by more than $4,000 900
annually instead of by the $310, 900,
as ordered April 26 by the Public
Utilities Commission.
A petition for appeal from the
PUG order was filed yesterday by the
Commissioner of Public Buildings,
Federal Works Agency, and was
similar to the two appeals filed in
District Court July 2, one by the
ONCE of Price Administration and
the Director of Economic Stabiliza-
ton and the other by the Procure
ment Division of the Treasury De-
partment.
Intervened Earlier.
The Government, through the
several agencies, had intervened
earlier before the PUG during its
rate hearings and unsuccessfully
sought rate reduction of not less
than 100000 annually. The COM
mission rejected the contentious of
the Government agencies and ord
cred a rate reduction in the amount
of only $4,000.
Yesterdays petition included
among its claims that the commits
sion Illegally made an allowance for
depreciation expense in excess of
s57l ,434."
Also that "the commission ar
bitrarily and illegally failed to
deduct accrued depreciation from
the rate base" That it arbitrarily
and Illegally computed depreciation
expense upon nondepreciable prop
erty." That it arbitrarily and
Illegally allowed as operating ex-
pense the amount of $1,695,71 for
Federal income tax. Also that it
arbitrarily and illegally allowed
$3,774,l0 as proper amount of
working capital
The petition asked the court to
reverse, annul and set aside said
order and determination of said
commission insofar as it permits the
company to callect rates in excess of
just and reasonable rates required by
the program of the Government to
keep down the cost of living, the
District Public Utilities Act, the slid
ing scale arrangement and legal
principles applicable thereto

trick, after which . diamond was
led and South's queen finessed. West
took the diamond king and did he
lead q club to East's ace, to defeat
the contract? He did not! He led
another heart. South won, pulled
trumps and finally discarded his
club on dummy's last diamond.
Vests argument was that East
might hold the heart ace, and South
might have A J x Of clubs and even
tually guess the club finesse wrong.
The four diamond bid, South said,
could easily have been cue-bid and
not genuine suit.
And East, in retorting, completely
forgot to mention his original play
of the three of hearts, which dis
tinctly said he did not want hearts

June War Production
Short Of Schedule,
Patterson Declares
By the Associated Press,


June production for the Army
fell substantially below schedule for
the second consecutive month" I"
Undersecretary of War Patterson
announced today.
. Production for the second six
months of the year must be con-
siderably increased over that of the
first six months in order to carry
out the 1943 timetable of military
requirements" he reported.
Approximately three-fifths of over
all Army supply requirements for
1943, including aircraft, remained to
be met. he added.
The total of planes manufactured
In June was only slightly above May
and was below schedule, Mr.. Patter-
son said. The average weight of
planes delivered continued to in
crease, an indication of rising
production of oombers and other
heavier combat types.
Gas Output still Tight"
Last months production in terms
of airframe weight was 3 per cent
higher than in May, and tactical
planes were 10 per cent of the total
as against 68 per cent of the May
production.
The supply of 1O0-octane gasoline
for aircraft is still tight, and will
be for some months to come" Mr..
Patterson declared, but the recent
granting of a higher priority rating
to this program is expected to- &C
celerate production.
Mr.. Patterson said production for
the Army Ground Forces supply
program increased in June IL per
cent over May, but 1t was still 2.3
per cent below April and 4.9 per
cent below forecasts for June.
THE jobs remaining to be done
vary widely" he said. I'm the next
six months we E2ust produce 81 per
cent of the total number OF air.
planes scheduled for 1943.
There is nothing in the pro-
duction records for May and June
to encourage belief that the task
ahead can be accomplished easily.
It is a real challenge to labor and
industry"
Nelson Warns of Slump.
Mr.. Patterson's statement fol-
lowed a plea by Donald M. Mel
son yesterday for American busi-
ness to throw its weight, through
war message advertising, into the
effort to shake off the production
slump-caused in part, he said, by
"a false and dangerously premature
feeling that the war is in the bag"
The War Production Board chair
man, participating with other high
officials. in a broadcast launching
the War Advertising Councils
drive for "a war message in every
ad," disclosed that June war pro-
duction missed its $1,000, ,000, 900 goal
by one-half billion dollars.
I'm order to meet the urgent de-
mands of the armed services, huge
production goals were set for 1943," !"
Mr.. Nelson said. "We are not cur
rently meeting those goals from
month to month.
