Three years ago Ed Smiths luck
went bad. His crops failed, and it
wasn't long before Eds home and
furnishings were up for auction.
Half the town turned out, and
Ed must have thought his neigh
bors were a bunch of hungry vul-
tures-buying up all his precious
possessions for a song.
When it was over, and the aue-
tioneer had left, Sam Abernathy

Poland Presses Hunt
For Miko|ajcNk's
Helpers in Escape
By the Associated Press

WARSAW, Nov. G-The Moscow
backed Polish government intensi-
fed today its inquiry into the flight
of Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, which il
asserted was actively aided" by ar
unnamed embassy, and indicated
new arrests would be made shortly
of persons suspected of helping the
opposition leader escape.
Three of the group who fled with
the Polish Peasant Party leader
October 20 were declared officially
to have been arrested after crossing
the Czechoslovak frontier.
They were Wincenty Bryja, treas
urer of the party; Mrs. Maria Hule'
wicz, private secretary to Mr.. Miko'
laiczyk, and MieczSlaw Dabrowski
who the government said was col
laborator of Mr.. Mikolajczyk.
ENJOYS Deny knowledge.
United States Ambassador Stan
ton Griffis and British Ambassador
Sir Donald st. Clair Gamer botf
said they knew nothing of how Mr
Mikola jczyk's escape was effected.
In London, where the former
Premier found asylum to escape
what he said was a plot against
his life, Mr.. Mikolajczyk said in
a statement the charges of the
Warsaw government were mostly
"lies" aimed at compromising
him personally. The British
Foreign Office cautiously with
held comment.
(To the Warsaw communique
assertion that about 1000, 900
zlotys in foreign currency were
found on his three arrested col
leagues, Mr.. Mikolajczyk said the
sum amounts to about $1,000,
certainly not much for three per-
sons travelling such a long way"
(Mr. Mikolajczyk termed false"
and "a cynical provocation in
tended to SOW international dis
cord and to provoke me into tell
ing the details of my escape" the
Warsaw assertion that he and his
friends received foreign aid in
escaping. The claim that com
promising documents" were found
on his arrested friends was to
Mr.. Mikolajczyk an absurd lie,
impossible to believe.D
The controlled Warsaw press dis
played the news of the arrest of MI
Mikolajczyk's companions proml
nently. There was no comment OF
whether Mr.. Bryja's wife was ar
rested. The others who original.
fled with Mr.. Mikolajczyk were Kas
imir Bajinski and Stefan Korbowsk
and their wives. They were reported
to be in the American zone OF Ger
many.
Flight Investigated.
A government communique salt
an investigation of Mr.. Mikolajczyk'
fight showed that the escape wa
planned together with diplomatic Of
ficials of one of the embassies II
Warsaw and was realized with thei
action and direct aid.'
The communique said this infor
nation was confirmed by Mr.. Bryja
Mrs. Hulewicz and Mr.. Dabrowski, a
well as "other persons detained Il
this affair."" It did not name tn
other persons or identify the EN-
bassy allegedly involved, but said tn
probe was continuing.
Another communique said Parlia
ment had agreed to the arrest o
Bryja, who as a member of Parlia
ment normally would enjoy immu

But, Mr.. Sperry indicated. some

that the sliding scale arrangement
instituted in 1885, does not meet

: The accountant, v. A. McElfreSh
testified earlier at the hearing that
the gas company technically was en-
titled, under the sliding scale, to a
13 per cent rate increase for the
coming year.
He urged, however. that such an
increase should not be granted by
the commission at this time.
Mr.. McElfreSh said the indicated
rate increase, very small one, was
not typical of the company's needs.
Tine sliding scale presupposes
that the test year income is fairly
