Mr.. Martin said there "Was no
doubt that the threat of a house

fPC Weighs Approval
OF Potomac Gas Line
Now Nearly Finished

The Federal Power Commission
today took under advisement a petit
ton by the Washington Gas Light
Co. for a certificate of public con-
venlence as necessity to authorize
construction and operation of sup
Elementary gas pipe line across the
Potomac to Nearby Virginia. The
certificate would replace a tempo
rary authorization under which con-
struction of the new pipe line
already is under way.
At hearing in the FPC board
room, Everett j. Boothby, vice pres
ident and general manager of the
company, said the 16-inch pipe line,
which was the subject at the hear
ing, would be an addition to an
existing dual 12-inch line over the
Key Bridge carrying gas for resale
by the Rosslyn Gas Co. to Alex
andria and communities in Airing
ton and part of Fairfax County.
Mr. Boothby explained that the
new pipe line was necessitated by
War Department order this spring
which forced the Washington Gas
Light Co. to discontinue use of an
other line across the Potomac, built
on the temporary railway bridge to
Alexandria.
Would Garry 1,250,00 Cubic Feet.
This line, he said, had supplied
virginia with a capacity of 100000
cubic feet per hour, compared with
the 100000 cubic feet the Kew
Bridge can now provide. The new
l6-lnch pipe line, he asserted, would
enable the company to deliver a
peak load of approximately 1850 900
cubic feet, enough to meet maxi
mum demands for several wears to
come!"
Construction of the new 16-inch
line, Mr.. Boothby revealed, was be-
gun in May, 1916, under authorize
tion of a temporary certificate from
the FPC, and is expected to be com
pleted by August Is At that time
the new pipe line will commence te
supply natural gas to the Rosslvr
Gas Co, while the other pipe line
will continue to furnish mixed gas.
Transition in Six Weeks.
AS soon as homes in Virginia car
be equipped to do SO, the complete
transition to natural gas will be
made, he said. Oscar Berry, coun-
sci for the company, said he under
stood this would take about six
weeks.
Staff Counsel William Drummer
told Trial Examiner Edward B.
Marsh the proposed construction
appeared to be necessary in con-
nection with the change-over to
natural gas to the Rosslyn Gas Co"
and said sit further appears that
the Washington Gas Light Co. has
sufficient market to support the
construction of the proposed facili-
ties"
The company is ''unquestionably
financially able to carry out the cost
of construction, which will be about
1872 600, he said.

Million 10 Draw
Back Pay for
Night Overtime
Truman Signs Bill
Settling Claims of
Wage Board Group
By Harold B. Rooers

More than 100000 Federal night
workers throughout the country. in
Guiding many in the Government
Printing Office, Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, and Navy Yard here,
will receive back pay for overtime
work retroactive to 1884, under a bill
signed yesterday by President Tru-
man, 1t was estimated today by off,
cials of the General Accounting
Office.
The act, which was recommended
to Congress by Controller General
Lindsay c. Warren, authorizes such
payments to be made to night
workers by Federal agencies, instead
Of having to be handled as indi-
vldual claims by the GAO.
An appropriation of $4,000 900 to
pay this overtime is pending in the
supplemental deficiency bill for 1947,
which has passed the House and is
scheduled to come up for action in
the Senate today or tomorrow.
Claims Relatively Small.
The amounts due each claimant
was estimated by a GAO official to
be relatively small. But the num-
Der of such employees to be paid
throughout the country is said to
run somewhere between 1000 600
and 100000.
1he pay system to be put into eff
feet grew out of claim by an en-
ploye of the Government Printing
Office here. A night worker, he had
been paid for overtime on the basis
OF the day rate for such work. He
appealed to the Controller General
who upheld his contention that his
overtime should have been figured
instead on the higher night base
rate. He received the difference.
less than $40.
Administrative Saving.
With this ruling as a precedent
for more than 100000 employees
throughout the country, who are
known as Wage Board" people. paid
on an hourly pay basis, Federal Off
Gals were faced with a tremendous
task Of compensating for such over
time. GAO officials estimate the
new act, which authorizes the sepa-
rate Federal agencies to make these
payments themselves. will save an
estimated s4,000000 in administra-
tive costs.
Most Of the employees affected out
side of Washington are with War
Department installations, Navy
yards and the Panama Canal.
The new procedure has no effect
on employees in the regular classified
service.
large number of claims now on
file in the GAO for such pay will be
returned to the agencies concerned,
with reference to the new act, and
directions that the agencies handle
payments.
