Wonderful! Where do I apply for

Just then, the Washington man

OF CHURCH COUNCIL
 IS REpUDIATED

EAST ORANGE, March 22.-The New Jersey Council of Christian Churches said last night that the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America in its recent ac- tion condemning the manufacture and use of the atomic bombs does not speak for us and our charges. .
 The state body's resolution said the bomb should be used, if necessary, ito preserve liberty and peace" and asserted that we are grateful to God that he gave the bomb to the forces of freedom first"
 The State Council said it oppos- ed "any thought of giving the sec ret of the atomic bomb to any na- tion that does not possess our con- cept of freedom under God
 The state church body also went on record requesting President Tru- man to change the name. of his airplane from The Sacred Cow, title which it termed offensive to the Christian conscience of our land. It has a pagan association which is not healthful in the minds of our young people

COMMUNICATION
Editor The Empire:

Editor The Empire.
 An incorrect statement has been made in the local press concerning the average cost to consumers of electricity in the city of Wrangell, Alaska, as furnished by Wrangells municipally owned light and power plant. This incorrect statement ap- peared in an editorial in the March 5th issue of the Daily Alaska En- pire, citing what purported to be the amount of the average monthly consumers bill in six cities in Alaska where electric service is a municipal enterprise, and compar- ing such amounts with the aver age monthly consumers bill in the town of Juneau under private en- terprise.
 First, let me here state, that, as Mayor of Wrangell and a repre- sentative of the people of Wrangell, I have no interest in, and do not wish to enter into the rate contro- versy now being conducted in Ju- neau, but I do strenuously object to a fragrant misstatement of the av- craze consumers cost for electric service in the city of Wrangell un- dsr municipal ownership, as set out in the Empires editorial
 This editorial states that the av- craze monthly bill for electric ser vice in the city of Wrangen is s22-52, under municipal ownership as compared to $12.26 in the city of Juneau, under private owner ship. The amound stated for Wran- gell is far from correct. I have had a rate expert check the fig ures appearing in the Empire edi- torial The Empires figures were based on a monthly average use of 3l3 kilowatts. Even using that amount of consumption, the aver age would be S1417 instead of, as stated in the Empire, S22.52. But an average of 313 kilowatts does rot apply in any sense of the word to the city of Wrangell, and I, and the people of Wrangell, object to having them used as @ basis.
 Upon a check of the WranRell light plants books, I find that the average paid by householders per month in Wrangell for the entire year 1s45, is $470 per month. This is, indeed, far below the average of $2252 as stated in the Empires edi- torial for the city of Wrangell. Tn fact, the largest monthly bill paid by the highest household user in the city of Wrangell during the year 1945, was $1318. Even this, while by no means average, is far below the amount the Empire states is household average in Wrangell.
 The incorrect statement is poor publicity for Wrangell, and that is my reason for making this correct ing statement

7 FEATURES AT CAPITOL MOVIE
 THIS WEEKEND

"A Guy, A Gal And A Pal Col umhia Pictures newest comedy fea- turing Ross Hunter, Lynn Merrick and Ted Donaldson is one of the features coming to the Capitol this weekend and, we are told, is all about the private affairs of a private USING . who won medal on the field of battle and lost his heart in the battle of love. It's said to be gay and romantic, giv- ing Ross and Lynn their best roles to date.
 Said to be built for laughs, "A Guy, A Gal and A Pal" tells about girl Gynn Merrick) who is on her way to Washington, accompan- jed by her young nephew (Ted Dcnaldson), to get married, and a war hero (Ross Hunter) on his way to the same place to be decorated by the President. When the girls train reservation fails to come through, the hero gets her on by pretending she is his wife.
 Besides the featured players, the cast includes George Mseker, Jack Norton, Will Stanton, Alan Bridges, Mary Mcleod, Mary Forbes, Russell Hicks, Dudley Dickinson and Nella Walker.
 The second feature is "Alibi," the story taken from case in the files of the Prefecture of Police in Paris, revealing master criminal of a mysterious mind-reading cult, bring ing out a most unusual mystery story.

for brevity. The average" electric bill for Wrangell may well be as low as $4,70 per month, but cer- tainly not for 3l3 kilowatt hours. We, too, have been given copy of the rate analysis made by Mayor Hanford's rate expert, who was MT Henry L. Gray of Seattle. Figuring that if householder in Wrangell and a householder in Juneau both used 3l3 kilowatt hours a month, the Wrangell bill. according to MT Gray, would be $14.l7 The Juneau householder would pay S90l for the same service. In addition to this service, we compared the rates charged for electric water heaters when quoting figures in our editor ial, using 2 XIV water heater as an example. We figured an average would be 250 XIV hours per month, which would cost the Wrangell user $3.25, plus a charge of S200 for connected capacity" as quoted in the Wrangell rate book The same 250 XIV for the Juneau consumer would cost $225 If Mayor Hanford will compare Juneau rates to Wrangell rates he can readily see that by taking a standard number cf kilowatt hours for comparison, which we did, the Juneau rate is far cheaper The people of Wran- gell do not get as much electricity for their money as do the people of Juneau. Does Mayor Hanford wish to argue that fact?)

CATHOLIC CHURCH
DONATED BY PRICE
Insurance Executive Gives
$400, 900 As Me1o-
rial To Wife

RALEIGH, uly 27 -(P-Julian
Price, Greensboro insurance exec
utive, has given $500, 900 for the
erection of a Catholic church and
rectory in Greensboro to the mem
DRY of the late Mrs. Price, the
Most Rev. Vincent S. Waters,
bishop of Raleigh, announced to-
night.
Plans call for immediate con-
%struction, Bishop Waters said, on
West Market street property, be-
tween fremont and Chapman. The
lot has a 325-foot frontage and is
200 feet deep, he said.
Additional property on fremont,
adjoining the property in the rear
on Market street, with a l76-foot
frontage, has been purchased for a
school, the bishop said. The school
will be formed by the present St.
Benedict parish.
Henry V. Murphy, New York
City architect, has drawn plans
for the 600-seat church, along the
lines of the present Our Lade Of
Refuge in Brooklyn, another Muir
phy-designed church. George W.
Kane, contractor with offices in
Greensboro, Roxboro, and Dur
ham, will be in charge of the con-
struction.
Additional buildings to the
>lurch and rectory will include a
grammar and high school buril-
ing and a parish hall, the bishop
said, with an overall cost of $780,
900.
although the Diocese of Raj
eigh is a missionary diocese, this
manificent donation from one who
is not a member of the church
will give to North Carolina and to
Greensboro a shrine as beautiful
and as devotional as any in the
United States" Bishop Waters
said tonight.

to Mr.. Price" the bishop contin-
ued, "and to his good catholic
wife who is memorialized."

Rent ceilings on new construction

encourage rental housing on a
large scale although efforts will be
made to keep rentals in line with
veterans needs, the Federal Hous-
ing administration announced to-
day.
Wilson w. Wyatt, national hous-
ing. expediter and Raymond M.
Foley, FILA commissioner, said in
a joint statement:
Under an agreement concluded
with the office of price administra-
ton rent ceilings on new construc-
ton no longer must be held within
20 percent of ceiling rents for COM
parable existing housing"
Their statement added that this
will allow the FILA more freedom
of action in meeting difficult pro-
duction problems in high cost
areas. The $50 per month top
limit for rentals will continue

RAIL RATES BILL
ACTION DOUBTFUL
Friday Adjournment OF
Congress Stops Bull
Wrinkle Bill

WASHINGTON, July 27.-P-
The prospect of senate action on
the Bulwinkle bill legalizing rail-
road rate-making conferences all
but vanished tonight in the face of
stiff opposition and the plan to
adjourn congress next Friday.
Senator Reed (R-Kas), an adj
vocate of the measure, tried al!
day to persuade the senate to cno-
slider the bill. The senate adjourn
ed until Monday, however, with
out voting on his motion.
Most of the opposition came from
southern senator's, including DIN
Johnston D-SC), Russell D-GA
and Overton D-LA).
Overton cmoplained that the
record of the lengthy hearings
which the interstate commerce
committee completed two months
ago has not been printed. John
ston threw a %four-inch sheaf of
long galley proofs of the transcript
on his own desk and told Overton
he would be glad to start reading
them aloud to the senate ne~a
week.
The point of Johnston's plan was
obvious in view of the congression-
al adjournment decision.
Senator Aiken told the senate he
knows Of several Republican mem
bers who wish to speak Eat length
on the bill.
Majority leader Barley declar-
ed at one point that congress is
getting into a vicious habit of
rushing in to legislate on matters
which are pending before the sup
court. He noted that there is
federal litigation pending against
certain railroads concerning rate
making practices which the bill
would declare to be not in violation
of the antitrust laws.
Barley cited the Tidelands oil
bill and recent insurance legisla-
ton as other examples of what he
called congress- Indecent invas-
ion' of the judiciary.
