WITH THE FIRST AMERI-
CAN ARMY ON THE GERMAN
BORDER, Sept. IA (INS(--I have
just returned from Germany. To-
day by moving forward into the
battle zone with infantry troops,
l have had a chance 10 see. the
tremendous Job the have
achieved together with armored
troops in breaking through the
first outposts of the Siegfried
Line into Germany.
Never before did / realize what
superb courage ii takes to be an
infantry soldier as I did when I
watched our men storm into the
Aachen state forest.
As we moved up it was easy to
sense that here is a new kind of
enemy 10 contend with. All of a
sudden he is blowing his bridges,
even the culverts with meticulous
precision.
He is sending in all the artillery
he has, including big 150-mm.
shells. He is sending in his planes.
He Is trying 10 hold back the
wave that is trying TO drown the
master race.
The front was like an old-time
Fourth Of July except that every
explosion was for keeps. Artillery
fire screamed over the trees. And
the earth trembled with its i'm
pact. Machine guns mingled with
rifles and mortars in a continuous
shound. And the long absent luft-
waite came over.
I dived from my jeep into
deep gulley on the side of the
road and for eight endless minutes
sweated il out. The anti-aircraft
started its immense voice around
us, and the place became sense
less chaos of sound as we dug our
faces and our bodies into the earth
in the gulley, wishing we were
inside the earth itself.

New-Car Quota
5000 in September

The Nations inventory of new
passenger cars has been reduced
to 10000 vehicles, which must last
until new car production is resumed
the Office of Price Administrat ton
announced in setting the September
quota of automobiles to be rationed
at 5000.
This is the smallest quota since
passenger car rationing began, and
a 40 per cent cut from the August
quota of 5000, officials said. The
September quota in 1943 was 40,6OO
cars.
In addition to the 5000 vehicles,
the OPA has set aside 300 as a
regional and 300 as national emer-
gency reserves.
1T is probable that quotas will
continue to become smaller as eligi-
olllty requirements become stricter
IN the coming months" the agency
said.
The OPA also set the adult bicycle
quota for September at $4,000, COM
pared with 1880 in August The
quota has been raised to meet the
demands of students returning to
school. Regional reserves of 5 900
and national reserves of 5000 also
nave been established.

Wont Receive
Refund on Rate,
Excess Earnings to
Be Used to Avoid
Future Increase

Ruling that the $87,8l7 excess
profits last year Of the Washington
Gas Light Co. available for rate re-
duction purposes was not enough to
warrant a general reduction this
year, the Public Utilities Commission
set aside the money in a reserve
fund to offset future possible rate
increases.
The reserve fund was set up in
preference to returning the money
to consumers since the PUG felt a
refund would be so costly in in
creased operating expenses as to
react against consumers in 1945.
The order reduced the company's
rate OF return from 6.5 to 6 per cent
Last year the commission reduced
the rate OF return from 6.5 per cent
to SIS per cent and ordered a re-
duction Of $l32, 900 in rates, but the
order-was set aside by District Court.
The 6 per cent rates applied to
the past year as we'll as the coming
one. The commission set the base
Tor determining rates under the
sllding-scale arrangement for the
12-month period beginning Septem-
per l to be $32, ,3l5, ,84186 including
II ,346, ,178.49 for working capital.
During the recent hearings the
commission was represented by

corporation counsel for the rom.

represented by E. Barrett Prettymau

liens Associations was represented
