for cheap and tireless electricity, PP&L
was called upon to supply users with

Even though PP&L delivered a. SCI 900
more XVIII to its customers in 1914,
the drop in average price kept revenues
from increasing with the volume of
business. Expenses, however, went up
due to increased power purchase re-
qdirements and other operating needs.
As result, the Company's net income
for the year was substantially less than
the 1913 figure.

House Group Plans
thorough Study Of
Veterans Treatment

The House Veterans Committee
today planned thorough investiga-
ton OF the Veterans Administration
as the journal of the American
Medical Association charged that
the medical care of ex-soldiers in
Government hospitals was ''espe-
cially poor" compared to that re-
ceived by active troops in the armed
forces.
Authority for the House inquiry
came late yesterday. The House
voted, 256 to 4, for a resolution by
Chairman Rankin of the Veterans
Committee directing an investiga-
ton which will leave no stone UNI
turned" Investigators will center
their attention on hospital facilities.
Urges Broader Inquiry.
Representative Philbin, Democrat,
of Massachusetts, told the House the
investigation proposed by Repre-
sentative Rankin was too limited
and asked an inquiry by a special
l1-man group into Shocking evil
dence of cruelty and neglect in vet
Grams hospitals" House rules, how
ever, limited the debate to the RAN
kin resolution and made it impos-
sible for the Massachusetts member
to put his suggestion into a formal
motion.
The American Medical Associa-
ton organ, quoted by the Associated
Press in dispatch from Chicago,
suggested an investigation of vet
Grams facilities by a commission
which would report directly to the
President. 1t added:
"A continuous flow of charges
comes from a variety of investiga-
tors, commentators, periodicals and
publications whose observations
have led them to believe that medi-
cal care in the Veterans Admins
tration IS on a standard far lower
than that prevailing in ordinary
practice in the United States. /.
The deteriorated service seems
especially poor when contrasted
with the high quality of medical
care rendered to those in the armed
forces.
Time Ripe for Probe.
Perhaps the time is ripe for a
really authoritative, independent
investigation of the administration
of medical service to veterans, made
by committee responsible directly
to the executive office of the Pres
ident."
The Journal reported that the
charge has been made that the chief
administrator of the Veterans Ad-
mlnlstration has little sympathy
