Social Disease Film
Withdrawn on Protest
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Public Health Service, needing
protests from the Legion of Decency
has withdrawn its sponsorship OF
general distribution of a film on
venereal disease entitled, ITO the
People of the United States"
In a letter to Walter Wanger,
Hollywood producer, DR.. Thomas
Parran, surgeon general of the
health service, yesterday said the
Legion of Decency objected to the
film because ut fails to stress the
fact that promiscuity is the prin-
cipal cause of venereal disease"
The legion. Catholic organiza-
ton, opposed theatrical release of
the picture on the grounds. 1T would
pave the way for a flood OF pictures
by producers who do not hesitate to
avail themselves of every opportun-
ity for lurid and pornographic ma
terial for financial gain"
DR.. Parran told Mr.. Wanger the
Public Health Service Advisory
Committee on Venereal Disease
Education recommended that the
film be revised and made available
for controlled distribution through
State and local health departments,
Army posts and industrial and well
fare organizations.

Kehoe says, that war could be so
impersonal as this war from the

like place full of human beings,

Cochran 10 Continue
Blocking S|um Probe
Until Quorum Attends
Creation Of Special
Committee Unlikely
Before Recess

Chairman Cochran of the House
Accounts Committee today served
notice on the House that he intend
ed to continue to block creation of a
special committee to investigate
Washington's Intolerance prob
lem until a quorum of members was
present.
This was regarded as killing any
chance OF House action until the
Easter recess ends April IL, for spon-
sors Of the plan said they would not
press for approval now, under the
circumstances.
Late yesterday Representative
Smith, Democrat, of Virginia Sc
cured consideration of his bill to
create special committee to in
vestlgate slum clearance here. It
was designed to head off action pro-
posed by Chairman Bilbo of the
Senate District Committee-evacua
ton of all alley dwellers by July /,
in accordance with a 10-year- old
law.
The resolution had been cleared
by the Rules Committee and adopt
ed by the House when Mr.. Cochran
entered and shouted his objection
to the measure. Inasmuch as the
House was operating under an
agreement to consider nothing con-
troversial, Majority Leader McCor-
mack, who was acting as Speaker
pro tenn, declared the action va
Gated.
Sees Duplication.
Mr.. Cochran charged. that the
work OF the proposed House Com
mittee would duplicate that of the
Burton subcommittee in the Senate
which started an investigation of
District slums last November.
Also questioning the urgency of
the Smith plan, which was rushed
to the floor yesterday with the sane
ton of the House Rules Committee
seeking a way to prevent any mass
eviction of alley dwellers July /,
Mr.. Cochran declared:
This Congress is not going to
permit those now occupying these
unsuitable houses, which might
properly be called shacks, to be put
out on July /, when there is no place
for them to CO."
Opposes New Probe.
He said he was perfectly willing
to support resolution right now"
amending the law so that eviction
would not be necessarily July /, but
his willingness to do this did not
extend to the creation of another
special investigating committee. He
maintained the District Committee
could make study and that the
House Appropriations Committee
had ample funds and investigators
to go into the subject without Great
ing another special group.
Chairman SABBATH of the Rules
Committee said that if Mr.. Cochran
was sticking to his position he would
make no further move now.
II am content to let the response
bility rest where it is" he said.
Representative Smith commented
II was merely trying to be helpful,
but if they won't let me I can't
help it."

Objections to Rate
Base Suggestion

Chairman James H. Flanagan of
the Public Utilities Commission to-
day overruled objections of attorneys
for the Potomac Electric Power Co.

ing the rate base of the utility
company.

and Rates, testified Tuesday that
under the investment method
Pepco's rate base might be reduced
from its present $1O5, ZOO, 900 to
$82, ,000, 900.
This mornings session was de-
voted to cross-examination of DR.,
James c. Bonbright, chairman of
the New York Power Authority, by
rs. R. Bowen, attorney for Pepco
DR.. Bonbright, witness last Sat-
urday for the Treasury's procure
ment division, had set forth seven
recommendations for modification
in the present sliding scale arrange
ment with Pepco.
Changed Views Suggested.
"Have you had the opportunity to
reread your own books?" asked Mr.
Bowen.
Il have had the opportunity, but
I haven't availed myself of it," DR.
Bonbright replied as spectators
laughed.
Mr.. Bowen said he thought the
witness had departed In last weeks
testimony. from some of the views
expressed in his own writings
Harry R. Booth, special counsel fol
procurement. objected to the re-
mark, but Mr.. Bowen promised tc
amplify his statement later.
Objection Sustained.
Chairman Flanagan sustained ar
objection by Mr.. Booth to the ques-
ton as to whether DR.. Bonbright
believed in public ownership OF
utilities.
Regarding his statement last week
that so per cent of excess earnings
in any one year might be recaptured
for special rate reduction reserve
DR.. Bonbright suggested that such
a reserve should be limited to
possibly 20 per cent of the rate base.
He said interest on the reserve could
be credited to the consumers and
the reserves could be used by the
company If revenues fell below a
stated return.
1T might be called sterilization
reserve" he concluded.
