Probe Urged in Death
OF Sub Crewmon

A request for a congressional in
qulry into the death of a Utah sea-
man was followed last night by a
Navy disclosure that he apparently
was washed off his submarine dur
ing diving training.
The youth, Seaman (irst class)
Joseph Grant Snow, Delta, Utah, is
listed as missing. Representative
Granger, Democrat, of Utah told
the House yesterday it was a case of
almost criminal negligence" He
said the seaman was on deck when
the commander submerged the YES
sci and left him to perish" Mr..
Granger asked the Naval Affairs
Committee to look into it.
The Navy said the commanding
officer of the submarine had written
Seaman Shows next of kin, Mr.. and
Mrs. Grant B. Snow of Delta, all
available facts in the case.
According to the commanding Of
flcer's version, Seaman Snow was
found missing at $50 pm. January
4. He had been lookout during div
ing operations in the afternoon. A
pair of binoculars normally used by
lookouts also was missing
The submarine was some distance
from land and operating 'in very
cold water" it was said.

U. Given Right
10 Intervene in
Pepco RateCase
PUG Denies Petition
Of FWA to Enter
Hearing, However

The Public Utilities Commission
today ruled that the Federal Gov
ernment could intervene in the 1945
Potomac Electric Power Co. rate
hearings whenever they are held
but denied the petition of the Fed
eral Works Agency to be a party
in the hearings.
The Government, through the
Procurement Division of the Treas
ury, recently petitioned to intervene
on the grounds that the Govern
ment was the largest single con-
sumer of electricity, paying an an
nual bill of more than $500, 900.
The commission order said that
the FWA was an agency of the Fed
eral Government, thereby implying
that since the Government was be-
ing admitted through the Treasury
petition it was represented in the
hearings which have been adjourned
until litigation is concluded over
the 1914 decision slashing rates by
$1.037, 900.
Last year both the procurement
division and the FWA took part in
the rate hearing under the sliding
scale arrangement.
When the Justice Department,
representing both, sought to sue in
District Court last January to have
the PUG rate cut set aside as an
insufficient reduction, visiting Judge
j. Foster Symes of Colorado held
that the statute creating a people S
counsel precluded the Government
suing as a customer.

Two Men Acquitted Of Theft
of Gas From Fort BeIvoir

Failure to prove actual theft of
299 gallons of gasoline from Fort
Belvoir brought a verdict of not
guilty for Elmore L. Arthur, Is, of
the 5000 block of D street NE, and
William Heber Richards, 33, of Oxon
Hill, Md, who were tried in Federal
District Court at Alexandria yester-
day.
According to testimony of Pfc.
Samuel Carr, Is, a wounded veteran
stationed at the Army post, of Capt.
Charles Luchsinger, post property
officer, and Capt. Daniel Branch,
then provost marshal of the post,
the men, delivering gasoline to the
post, planned to hold out 299 gallons
and sell it for $50. Pvt. Carr testi-
fled he was offered a third of the
sale price if he would sign the de-
livery receipt for the total amount
of gasoline, which he said he did on
the instruction of his superior OFF,
GERS.
Walter I. Young, counsel for the
defendants, recently discharged as
an Army enlisted man, proved that
at no time did the gasoline leave
the post and that no theft was COM
mitted since the gasoline eventually
was put in the Fort Belvoir tanks
after the delivery men had been
taken in custody by the Federal
Bureau OF Investigation.
