District officials expect both the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. and the
Federal Government to ask Supreme
Court reversal of the 1914 rate cut order
of the Public Utilities Commission.
Some $4,000, 600 in rebates to consumers
is tied up in the case. Pepco says it's
too much. The Federal Government says
it's too little. The PUG, backed by
victories in the lower court and the
Court of Appeals, thinks it's just right.
Even if the Supreme Court refuses to
hear the case, don't hold your breath
until you get your refund. 1t has been
estimated that the majestic process OF
the law may consume another two years.

It's "stand-up' pleading now before
the Board of Zoning Adjustment. The
members have moved back from the
floor level table in the District Building
board room to the table on the oais.
This requires parties in the cases to
stand on the floor level to present their
arguments. Previously they sat across
the lower table from the board.

The site really suggested by Budget
Officer Walter l.. Fowler for the pro-
posed new hospital center was not in
Rock Greek Park as published but at
Soldiers Home. The home tract, he
saws, is ideally located centrally. II the
three hospitals involved want to go to
the fringes of the city, he suggested st.
Elizabeth's Hospital farm. In any event
the Commissioners are strongly opposed
to having some 40-acres OF taxable land
acquired for the center.
Last Novembers elections have snarled
temporarily the drive for uniform out
of-State taxi rates within the Metro
politan Area. The spokesnlen for Mont
gomery County who attended the con-
ference called by PUG Chairman James
H. FLANAGAN are either out of office or
in other jobs. So is the representative
of the Arlington County Board. How
ever, Prince Georges County, whose rep
resentatives did not even attend the
meeting, has signified a desire to 60
along with the idea.
The Commissioners should have re-
port about the end of the month on
what to do with surplus Federal housing
here. There are 18 projects under study
bv the Engineer Department. Comph-
eating factors in disposal are that the
buildings are occupied but do not meet
building code requirements.

That proposed drive linking up the
chain of Civil War breaStworks and
forts thrown up to defend Washington
is due to become hot controversy be-
tween the District Building and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
There wasn't any action at any of these
forts except Fort Stevens, according to
Assessor Edward A. Dent, who co-au-
thored the report last week urging
abandonment of the drive project, sc
what's their historical signif1cance?"
Mr.. Dent and the late Commissioner
Melvin C. Hazen were bitter foes of the
project when it originated in 1880. Both
were then in the surveyors Office where
Mr.. Dent was Mr.. HaZen's assistant.
Budget Officer Fowler, other co-author
of the report, now before the Commis-
sioners, after a study of the winding
drive plan of the Planning Commission
observed that the commission appar-
emily forgot that "a straight line is the
shortest distance between two forts"

Bogus PoternoIism
From tn. Hamilton tontsrio, spectator.

Neither men nor nations can normally
be planned" or put into pattern, and
this is why discipline cracks often in
war and controls and regulations-as
we see so plainly now-only can 60 SO
far before the individual kicks and
rebels. The struggle of people every
where to escape from the bogus paternal-
ism of an imnipotent state is the one
element that our history yells from the

was even more significant as pat

it correct to credit him with being
"forerunner of every modern sci

affirmation of the supreme value OF

to amend the Wage-Hour Act in terms
which would make it impossible for the
courts in the future to construe the
work-week provisions as they were in
terpreted in the Mount Clemens case.
But this would not solve the problem OF
the pending claims Enactment Of a
short statute of limitations cutting of
accrued causes of action might be
deemed unconstitutional, on the theory
that depriving claimants of rights al
ready vested is repugnant to the. due
process clause. The soundest approach
thus far advanced is contained in the
first section of the Capehart bill.
Predicated on the theory that Congress
can exercise its power under the COM
merce clause to avert situation having
a catastrophe effect on commerce, this
section finds that If current judicial in
terpretations are permitted to stand, 1t
would be contrary not only to the intent
of the Wage Hour Act, but would create
wholly unexpected liabilities" which
would ruin some employers, impair the
canital resources of others and impose
serious burden on commerce by reducing
industrial operations and curtatling en-
ployment opportunities. The bill then
goes on to redefine work" and with
draws from the courts power to entertain
suits based on an inconsistent definition.

veterans individual previous exper-
ience will determine his starting
pay and steady advancement to
higher levels is assured, he said.
Many local veterans have express
ed interest in army jobs which
