PUG Bars Surcharqe
On Phone Calls From
Hotels, Clubs in Area

Surcharges on telephone calls
from hotels, apartment houses and
clubs to any place within the Wash
ington Metropolitan Exchange Area
have been prohibited by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, effective
March /,
The PUG order conceded with
similar ban by the Federal Com
munications Commission on all in
terstate calls, effective yesterday.
The Hotel Association of WASH
angton, Inc, has gone to court to
contest the authority of both the
FEC and PUG over any phone serv-
ice charge at a hotel
R. A. Van Orsdel, general counsel
Of the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co., said an official copy of
the order had been received, would
be considered carefully, and a de-
cision may be reached later this
week as to the position of the COM
pany.
In a hearing last Saturday Mr..
Van Orsdel argued the amended
surcharges proposed by the company
were reasonable and nondiscrimi-
natory." These surcharges included
an extra cents from telephone tn
a guest room or apartment of a
transient, and a fiat service charge
not to exceed ST a month for per-
sons residing on monthly or longer
basis.
The PUG "disapproved" these sur
charges, and declared they were
unjust, unreasonable, unduly dis
criminatory and therefore repugnant
to the provisions of our statute (the
Public Utilities Act."
In prohibiting such surcharges, the
PUG, however, permitted regular
telephone company rates in hotels
apartments and clubs, including 81
cents a month for an auxiliary
Telephone and Is cents a month
tor each listing in the Washington
Telephone directory.
Joseph c. McGarraghy, attorney
Tor the association, said the whole
issue goes back to the basic ques-
ton as to whether these surcharges
are telephone charges by the tele-
phone company, or service charges
by a hotel"
The so-called Washington Metro
politan Exchange Area" it was ex-
planned, includes 10 offices" in

STOCKHOLM, April %.
(UP)--German officials were
believed in some quarters
Friday to have sealed off Denmark
in order to reshuffle their anti
invasion dispositions after allied
and underground intelligence had
searched out the Details of the

Responsible sources in south
Sweden speculated that German
occupation authorities feared their
position in Denmark would be dan
gerously vulnerable in case of an
invasion while the allies had a
clear layout of the NaZi strength

where they were situated.
The belief was growing that if
the Germans actually were making
large scale changes in military dis
positions and reinforcing them, the
moves were of a defensive rather
than offensive nature. T

Denmark since the quarantine was
clamped in the country arrived in

Perhaps significantly, the specu-
