Couple Files S56,OO0 Suit
On Fire, Explosion Injuries

Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Ward, 1922 N
street NV, yesterday brought suit
in District Court for $4,000 dam
ages for illness suffered allegedly as
the result of the fire and explosion
in a building at Til G street NV,
on December 80, where they then
lived.
The suit charges that Mr.. Ward
as a result of the fire. suffered a
stroke and asks for $4,000 in his
behalf. 1t says that Mrs. Parker
was overcome by smoke and asks
Sc, 900 in her behalf.
The suit names as defendants
Bernard B. Hillyard, described a!
owner of the building, and tht
Metropolitan Petroleum Co., Inc.
of Bethesda, which delivered OF
there. The petition says the fir'
and explosion resulted from fue
oil collecting around the oil burner
pit in the building.
The December fire, in which &
fireman was killed, was one of two
fires in the building. The secont
one occurred in February. Mr.. ant

1t is their hope that the House
Appropriations Committee will use
it's strategic legislative position to
carry out this strange policy. Hear
ings are now being held by sub

Spokesmen for the private utilities
do not argue that existing private
companies can take care of the load
themselves. They cannot, since iva
is the only power supplier in the area
it serves. They do not argue that
they are trying to prevent wasteful
competition or protect any sub
stantial investment. They cannot,
since they have no investment in
the area; they own no lines. they
have no customers, there is no
competition.
They don't say the power isn't
needed. They know, better than
most, that it is. They suggest, or
some of them do, that if a shortage
should occur in the valley, then
IVA could cut off its industrial
customers. These industries. pre-
sumably, would move to other parts
of the country. AS a matter OF
fact the subcommittee Is receiving
letters and kilograms from cham

On the Other Hand
IVA Effort to Meet Approaching
Power Needs Fought by Utilities

asked to protect their own distant
districts against alleged iva COM
petition.
TWAS most important customers
include the Oak Ridge plant OF
the Atomic Energy Commission and
the privately owned heavy chemical
and light metals plants on which
the country will have to depend
again in case of war. The stock
holders, bondholders and employees
of these industries are not joining
in the campaign to curtail iva
power production.
Much is being said, Of course,
about free enterprise and the need
to guard it against Government
encroachment. But the 1900 new
business enterprises that rely on
IVA for power can hardly be i'm
pressed by this solicitude. Nor
can the enterprising farmers OF that
region. In the days when the pri-
vate companies had their own way
in the valley they provided about
billion and a half kilowatt hours
of energy a year. They had $50
customers. One farm in % had
electric service. Last year, iva
produced $4,000, 100000 kilowatt
hours and its power served 100000
customers. Better than one out Of
every two farms is now electrified
and new farms are being connected
with rural cooperative lines at the
rate of 5000 a month.
The people of the whole country
have a stake in this issue. The
whole country benefits from power
development and industrial expan-
sion in any part of the country.
The Tennessee Valley has not only
become a producer of goods, it has
become an important market for
the goods produced in other Sec
tions.
The people Of the country have
a stake also as taxpayers. Their
money has gone into IVA. Rev.
enues now received from the sale
of industrial power are substan-
tial help in paying back the Fed
eral investment.
Short-sighted selfishness and dog
in-the-manger sectionalism have al
ready done much to mar the record
of this Eightieth Congress. But it
is hard to believe that, with pow
er emergency already existing in the
United States and greater emer-
gency sthreatening, these two blind
forces will be successful in the pres
ent instance.

This Changing World
Marshall Shows Fatigue as US. Delegates
Plug Along to Conclude Bogota Work

States top policy maker have been
hard on him. The conferences he
has attended since the abortive Mos
COW conference a year ago have
been depressing affairs, particularly
for one so keenly concerned with
preservation of peace.
The life he led in Bogota was
also nerve-racking for the highly
dignity-conscious wartime Chief of
Staff. He could not move inside his
own house near Bogota without be-
ing followed by an armed guard
who watched over him night and
day.
When he left his residence to
go to the National Capitol in
Bogota, where the delegates OF
the American republics are gath
ering, he used an armored car at
the urgent request of the Colom-
bian government, which was re-
sponsible for his personal safety. 1t
was escorted by light armored cars.
Meetings Are Gloomy.
The conference meetings, which
were resumed as soon as order was
restored in Bogota, are gloomy af-
fairs. The streets adjacent to the
building where the delegates meet
resemble an armed camp. The
Capitol itself is heavily guarded
by reliable Colombian troops and
by secret service agents Of all
the nations represented. In
side the Capitol Colombian detec-
tives and foreign secret agents are
found everywhere.
The nerves of all the delegates are
frayed. The habitual composure
of professional diplomats gath
cred at international confer
ences has disappeared. On the
first day that the conference re-
sumed after the shooting and dis
order had died down the nervous
tension manifested itself. An auto
mobile backflred in the courtyard
and the delegates ducked under the
conference table.
In such a tense atmosphere no
real constructive work is likely. Yet
the American delegation decided to
see the conference through in order
not to give the Communists the sat
isfaction of having broken up q
historic meeting of the Western
nations.
