Edison franchise steal

The Commonwealth Edison Co.
may get away with a 81 billion
grab at the expense of Chicago
consumers soon, if the City Coun-
Gil utilities committee has its
way.
Despite the opposition of a
number of well-known experts
on public utilities, the commit
tees chairman, Aid. Clarence P.
Wagner d4th), is trying to push
the big steal through the City
Council.
The So billion figure was esti-
mated by Irving H. Flamm,
prominent attorney, who told the
utilities co m mittee e that the
amount would represent the ex-
cess profits from high light bills
unfairly extracted from Chicago
rate payers" under the terms of
the proposed 43-year Common
wealth Edison franchise.

FLAMM urged that the grab
be prevented by city purchase
and operation of the power
monopoly's properties, whose
value he placed at less than $500
million.
"The $50 TO $50 million that
the people could save each year
through municipal operation
would give Chicago commerce
and industry a big lift" Flamm.

MocDougoII back
in Senate race

Curtis D. MacDougall,
N o r t h w e stern Univer-

will be the Progressive Par
TVS candidate for u. S. Sena-
tor in November.
MacDougaH, who withdrew
from the slate last week because
NU officials threatened to fire
him, reconsidered his decision
and accepted the nomination.
1t was understood that wide
spread protests against the uni
versity's undemocratic attitude
had convinced MacDougalI that
the people want him for their
candidate.
THE PRoGRESSIVEs were
delighted" by his decision to
run for the Senate seat. William
Miller, state director of the new
party, said:
'It is the gain of the people
of Illinois that they will have
an opportunity in November of
1948 to elect to the u. S. Senate
man of great principle. deep
understanding, and real cour-
age"
In his letter of acceptance,
MacDougall declared:
"The circumstances whic h
caused me to decline this nomi-
nation have not changed. 1 have
simply concluded personal con-
siderations, how viewer urgent,
must take second place in this
period of real and great crisis.
"This conviction is not new
with me. I have long believed
that nobody justifiably can put
personal security or comfort
ahead of his obligation to democ-
racy. That I can be among those
able TO apply this principle to
his own life is a source of great
pride"
