Wethersfield  Used As Front
Introduces Bills Which Would Give Power Firms Great Advantages
 Over Consumers

AAC OOyo WAU ECdA1y KNOW the lobbying trade from way back-the United States pow CT trusts prOpagandists-are about to put over their best deal in 27 years with the help of the Both Congress, which passed the Taft-HartIey law, stabbed rent-cOntrOI in the back, and is insisting on pas- sing a tax law which will help those in the higher brackets.
 Well beaten by the New Deal and curbed by legislation going back as far ts Pres. Theodore Roosevelt's time, the power trust apparently believes the time is ripe to remove the legal checks by which Uncle Sam has kept its paws out of the public's pockets.
 ACTS AS FRONT MAN
 Acting as front man for the big lobby of public utility interests is Rep. William Miller (R, Conn.) who has two bills now before the House interstate commerce commit / tee.
 The overall impact of the two Miller bills and measure by Rep. Robert F. Rockwell (R, Conn would be to amend the Federal Power act so as to free most of the power companies from US. regu- latiOns, and require public power projects (such as the TVA) to charge higher rates for electricity.
 EXEMPTS 75@o
 Miller's first bill would amend the act to exempt 759O of the power com panies from regulations of the Federal Power Commission in the interstate side of electricity at wholesale.
 His second measure redefnes the term "navigable streams" SO as to al- ter the United States Supreme Courts long standing decisions on the sub ject that put such waters under con- trol of the chief of engineers, U. 5. war department.
 Early witnesses for the power companies bills included spokes. man for the Georgia Power Co. (anti-TVA); Detroit Edison Co.,, Connecticut Light X Power Co. and the Wisconsin Public Service Corp.
 Their indorsement of the bills was approved by witnesses from the pub lie utility commissions of several of the states. And the state commissions have been notoriously lax in their dealings with the well-heeled utility lobby.
 ''VIRTUAL REPEAL
 Chairman Nelson L. Smith of the Federal Power Commission has ad- vised Chairman Charles Wolverton (R, N. J) of the House interstate commerce committee that HR. 2o72 by Miller would leave only a handful of companies to be regulated" by the federal government and would be "a virtual repeal of the act"
 As to HR, 297S introduced by Miller, Smith said it ''wOuld re- verse a national policy with respect to the use of water resources that has been maintained for more than a half century,"
 Smith declared that the Miller bills were so filled with added pro- visOs, overlapping exemptions, es- cape clauses and other fancily- wOrded ''Outs' that they would se- riOusly cOmplicate the administra- tiOn of the federal law and that the public interest would come off second best when it cOnflicted with the private interests of the affected utility.'
 The exemption of practically all sales of electricity at wholesale in in terstate commerce would restore a "no-man's land in utility regulations" under which utilities were enabled to pile up costs on which rates were
