PUC 10 Review
GasCo. sPo|icy
0nHeatingShifts
New-Homes-onIyPI Plan
Is Due for Airing
At Hearing Tomorrow

The Washington Gas Light Co. S
decision to accept only new homes
and buildings as additional gas heat
customers during and emergency
period will be aired tomorrow be-
fore the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
AT least one organized group, the
Merchandising Plumbers of the
Master Plumbers Association, will
protest the proposal at 10 am. In
room 500 of the District building.
The company's plan, effective
since February q on a temporary
basis pending the hearing, would
bar conversion to gas heating in
any District home or building.
In its statement to the PUG. on
February rs, the company estimated
22,00O requests for additional heat
ing service would be received be-
tween last January and next
March 1.
Because the supply of natural gas
Is inadequate to meet the antici-
pated demand, the company de-
clded it cannot provide gas next
winter to persons who already have
facilities and who are electing to
change from other fuels to gas for
space heating and steam genera
ton use.'
Inc company pointed out that
new householders may have diff
lculty obtaining oil and coal, also
short in supply, while those now US
ing these fuels will be supplied by
their regular dealers.
Efforts to increase the company's
gas supply are now being made and
1t promised to inform the PUG as
soon as the situation would permit
resembling or modifying the order.
Most of the opposition is expected
from the Merchandising Plumbers,
group of about Is engaged in
selling and installing heating units.
William H. Collins, attorney for
the group, said the protest was pre-
missed on these contentious:
/. The plumbers believe the COM
pany's figure of $4,000 potential re-
quests for gas service was overesti-
mated.
2. They believe the practice of ex-
cluding established householders
from gas service is class discrimi-
nation"
B.. 1t appears probable that 1t will
be at least two years before addi-
tional natural gas supplies permit
unrestricted service.
In view of the fact that the COM
pany added about 10000 customers
last year, 5000 of them in new
buildings, it seems reasonable to
expect 14,e00 installations to sat-
fsfy the needs of beths new and con :,
verting customers this year, Mr..
Collins said.
I'VE feel it wrong to neglect the
old home owners. many sof - whom
have kept Washington Gas Light
going with their cook stoves and
water heaters" Mr.. Collins said.
Although the plumbers do not
regard their case primarily as an
economic one, since they also sup
ply the new homes and buildings,
there is the matter of following
through on contacts made the past
few years with home owners show
ing an interest in converting to gas,
Mr.. Collins added.
He charged that the company's
main interest in serving only new
construction was to assure itself of
completely new business, with the
realization that homes now using
oil or coal for heating, but gas for
other purposes, might be induced
to convert to gas heating at a later
date.

$4,000 IsGiiven
Georgetown 70
Gift Made by Widow
Of WiIIium Hinshow,
Operotic Baritone

Georgetown University last night
announced receipt of $4,000 gift
from the widow of a Metropolitan
Opera baritone, which will enable
1t to set up an intensive cancer
research project at the new George
town Hospital.
The donation came from Mrs.
Mabel C. Hinshaw, in memory of
William Wade Hinshaw, who lived
in Washington for a number of
years after retiring from his musical
career in 1925.
1t will permit Georgetown to ex-
pand its existing cancer service, and
to establish a four-bed ward where
patients with cancer or related dis
eases can be studied under the most
minute observation that can be
devised.
Second Project Announced Recently.
1t Is the second major cancer re-
search project announced here in
recent weeks. The American Can
Ger Society and its District chapter
awarded 100000 early this month
to the Warwick Clinic, now affili-
ated with George Washington Uni
versity, for cancer research that will
include Q 12-bed ward for treat
ment OF cancer patients. There are
only about 100 such beds in the
country.
The Rev. Paul A. McNally. dean
and regent of the Georgetown Medi-
cal Center, said the grant would
be used over period of three to five
years by Georgetown's Department
of Medicine, headed by DR.. Harold
Jeghers. -
DR.. Laurence Kyle, now working
at Georgetown under a National
Cancer Institute fellowship in
endocrinology which is due to ex-
pire this summer, will give most
Of his time to cancer research under
the new project now being formu-
lated.
To Observe Metabolism Closely,
He will supervise treatment Of the
patients chosen for observation in
the four-bed ward, and will have
access to special research labora-
tories which are free from routine
hospital work.
The essential thing in intensive
cancer study, DR.. Kyle emphasized
last night. is to observe every
change in the patients metabolism.
The patients under study will get
attention that no hospital could
provide in ordinary cases.
Patients admitted to the cancer
unit need not necessarily have can
Ger. Certain metabolic abnormah-
ties which seem to be related to
cancer, Dr.. Kyle stated, also will be
studied. '','f'tf lr5f
To Start Within Month.
In addition, DR.. Murray S. Cope
land and Dr.. Charles F., Geshickter
will carry on research with isotopes
"a technique which, Father Nc
Nally reported, already has pro-
duced dramatic results in eight
or ten cases that came in on
stretchers and walked out, ap-
parently cured, at least tempo
rarily."
Another service which will be
integrated in the cancer research
program will be the cancer detec-
ton clinic under DR.. Copeland,
which has been examining clinic
patients since September.
Dr. Kyle said the new program
would get under way within a
month, and all four beds of the
cancer ward should be in operation
by July, he declared.
Father McNally also announced
yesterday that the hospitals 25-
bed pediatrics ward, dedicated sew
eral months ago by President Tru-
man, now is.in full operation.
