Hotel Group Fails
To Block PUG Study
OF Phone Sureharges
Commission Denies PIeo
Based on Unsettled
Question of Jurisdiction

The Washington Hotel Associa-
ton today failed in its move to
block consideration by the Public
Utilities Commission OF the reason
ableness of telephone charges in
hotels, apartments and clubs until
the courts have passed on the juris-
diction of the commission regard
ing such rates.
The association made its unsuc-
cessful move as hearings opened on
charges for telephone service in
hotels, apartments and clubs.
Joseph c. McGarraghy, attorney for
the association, told the Commits
sion that he had filed a petition
yesterday in District Court to set
aside the December order of the
PUG requiring the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Co. to file a
schedule of rates charged by hotels
for local calls.
Until jurisdictional questions are
settled it would be inappropriate to
hear questions of rates" declared
Mr.. McGarraghy.
He was oVerruled, however, by the
commission.
In the petition filed at court the
hotel association claims the PUG
lacks jurisdiction in the matter and
claims that the surcharges instead
of coming under the PUG would
come under the Emergency Rent
Act. In turn, Mr.. McGarraghy said
today that the surcharges are for
secretarial service.
David E. Mccoy, general CONNER
cial manager of the telephone COM
pany, told the commission that the
charges proposed by the firm for
hotels, apartments and clubs were
not discriminatory and were Just and
reasonable. He explained that the
company proposed to eliminate sur
charges in local calls made from
lobbies of hotels, but would permit
surcharges of cents in the case of
local calls made by transients from
guestrooms or apartments and per-
init service charge Of ST a month
for permanent residents.
Through cross-examination. Greg
ory Hankin, PUG member, attempt
ed to bring out that the difference
in rates for local calls would be
based on the nature of the call and
the location Of the telephone rather
than upon the type of service rem
dered.

NEW BLOWS
 ARE STRUCK,
 BURMA
Drive Now The dtens 10 Dust Jdps from North-

NEW DELHI, March 14.-Hard hitting British troops have crossed the upper reaches of the Chindwin River in Northern Burma, striking a new blow at Jap forces which are now harrassed from assaults on half a dozen fronts along the river in several places in North Temanthi in Southeast Asia, the communique said.
 Tamanthi is about 100 miles west of Mogaung and Nyitkyina in the Irrawaddy Valley, where Lieut.. General Stilwell's American and Chinese forces are progressing in a drive to clean the enemy out of north Burma.
 The new drive seriously threatens to oust the Japs in north Burma, which will permit opening of a land route to China.
 The Japs face the necessity of launching diversionary operations to meet the threat which was offi- cially announced when. Lord Louis Mountbatten, Supreme Allied Con- mander in southeast Asia, recently visited Stilwell's headquarters in Ledo and consulted with him on the progress achieved in the north : ern section front.

 VOTE BILL i.
 E PASSED
States Rights Win Out in Senate e-Medsures Now
 Goes 10 House

WASHINGTON, March 14-The states rights service vote bill per- hitting the use of a curtailed Fed eral ballot only with the states permission, won the final approval of the Senate today after an em- bittered debate.
 The Senate voted 47 to 31 to ap- prove the final version of the mea- sure which was worked out by a joint conference committee of House and Senate members after weeks of wrangling.
 The measure now goes to the House where Chairman Morley of the Elections Committee predicted a prompt acceptance.
 Senators Green and Lucas, auth ors of the original Federal ballot bill. disowned it after the House ripped away most of the handiwork and replaced it with machinery giving the states first say about the form of the ballots and the full right to determine the qualifications of the absentee voters.
 Democratic leader Alben Barkley took the floor against the com promise, declaring it is so bound up with adhesive tape" in a legal sense, it will complicate the voting of service men and women in the November election.
 In speech regarded in some quarters as presaging a veto by the Presidents Barkley said Con- gress failed to set up as simple 2 procedure as possible.
 In addition to members of the armed forces, the following will be authorized to use the Federal bal lots under the same restrictions: Members of the Merchant Marine, persons serving the American Red Gross and the Society of Friends. Women's Auxiliary Service pilots. and the United Service Organiza- tions outside the United States at tached to the armed forces.
 Barkley said the law repealed sections of the existing statutes, waiving of the poll tax and regis tration requirements.

BRITAIN. TO STAND PAT

LONDON, March 14.--It is ex- pected that Britain will stand pat at least until the military situation improves, continuing her dealings with the Badoglio government through the Military Control Com mission and the Allied Advisory Commission.
 It is anticipated the United States will adopt similar policy. It is learned that the Badoglio govern ment kept the Allied authorities in- formed of the negotiations with Russia Badoglio also asked Britain and the United States to exchange diplomats.
 Tedeschi expressed the belief that Stalin has no intention of endors- ing the King or Badoglio, but IS merely making, "a rapid. realistic step in the Soviet foreign policy" whereby Russia recognizes diplo- matically as well as de facto the Italian government as a co-belli- gerent in the war with Germany.

DASH TO SOUTH

LONDON, March IA. = Every available ship in Rumania's Black Sea ports has been rushed appar- ently to Odessa, Istanbul dispatches said, and appeared to foreshadow the collapse of the Germans broken southern flank in Russia on vast scale of a l044 Dunkerque and would pull the battleline back to an obviously frightened Rumania.
 The Istanbul dispatch is based on information from Sofia, and suggested the Germans are prepar- ing to evacuate Odessa by sea, fol- lowing up Marshal Stalin's an- nouncement last night of the cap- ture of Kherson, 90 miles east of Odessa.
 Was "Eyacuafed' ss-
 The German communique said the base was evacuated "in the course of planned disengagement movements after the destruction of all military installations. The com Hmunique also said both sides have thrown new reserves into the bit- ter struggle in the southern sector of the Eastern Front.
 Stalin said that 75,000 Nazis were killed or captured in the 10 days broad Soviet offensive in lower Russia.
 Kherson fell to General Malinov- sky's army, made up of Stalingrad ye.erans, after crossing the lower reaches of the Dnieper River.
 Resistance Explained
 If it is true the Nazis have given up all hope other than a seaborne retreat from their last stand in the Ukraine, this would explain their terrific resistance on the outskirts |of Tarnapol in prewar Poland where seesaw fight ragged for the sixth day. There the Nazis are mak- ing a grim attempt to hold the in- land anchor of the front shattered by combined Red Army operations.
 The Russians are pounding within 45 miles of the Dniester River from the northeast and have already cut the Odessa Lwow trunk railway line which left the whole German south flank of the army with only a threadwork of single track spur lines to cross the border west into Rumania.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Ut Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON John Hamilton, ex-GOP National Com mittee Chairman. now chief polit- ical adviser of Pennsylvania's Joe Pew, had talk recently with Con- gresswoman Clare Luce and Elliott Janeway, of Time and Fortune Magazine, about the all-important question which absorbS all Repub- licans-whom to select to defeat FDR.
 "A day or two before the Re- publican convention" said Hamil- ton, my law partner George Wharton Pepper, former U. s. Sen- ator from Pennsylvania will call Justice Owen Roberts and ask him to say that his statement to 'the effect that we would have to sacri- flee some of our sovereignty after |t the war to an international police force was an inadvertence which | he did not really mean. After this assurance, Justice Roberts will be the Republican nominee for Presi- dent"
 Mrs. Luce, however, did not agree with John. She maintained: The only man to run against the Com mander-in- Chief is man who can be classified in the public mind as comm ander, namely Douglas Macarthur"
 However, Elliott Janeway went over to the bookshelf. took down Sandburg's Life of Lincoln,' and turned to the page where a New York editor is informed of Lin- coln's nomination.
 ".Who is Lincoln?' the editor asked. That's the kind of candi- date we've go to have" said Jane way. Someone who isn't known someone with no flaws or blem- ishes they can pick holes in" All of which, according to the Tjemocrats, is an illustration of how the Republicans are frantically fumbling for candidate.

 Nobody seems to know who wrote it, but here is the jingle which spread like wildfire after publica- tion of Mrs. Roosevelt's picture rub ping noses with native Maori wo- man in New Zealand.
 "A poor benighted heather, with a
 jungle for a home, Who'd think my fame would spread
 afar, to lands across the foam? l wasn't very handsome, was not

 little flat and bent.
