ming and action for the whole

civic federations in the District,

point committees from each of the

tors" and pave the way for State

Congress by Representative Sas-
seer, Democrat, of Maryland, to
set up an area commission.

GEORGES County. who initiated the
action said that. since the bill
probably will come up at the next

should be informed and ready to
act" The bill is currently in the
House District Committee.

De Lashmutt Assai|s
Cox for His Charge Of
Tender Utility Policy

A charge by Robert w. Cox
non-partisan town meeting can
didate for the Arlington County
Board, that Board Chairman Basil
M, De Iashmutt is guilty of a
tender policy toward the
utilities" brought a reply OF
wholly unfounded political at
tacks" from the incumbent.
Mr.. Cox, speaking last night .tc
the Stonewall Jackson Citizens
Association. asserted the "tende,
policy of Mr.. De Lashmutt, the
Democrat nominee for reelection
has cost Arlington gas consumer.
at least 81 100000 these past three
years alone in excess rates exactee
by the Rosslyn Gas Co."
These figures" he declared
"are based on the facts brougil,
out by the Blundon report. These
facts show that you as consumers
since the changeover to natura
gas. are paying 21a times what
others throughout the country are
paying. and one-third more thar
washington consumers are paying
for the same gas"
1947 Request Cited.
Mr.. Cox said that in October
l947, the County Public Utilities
Commission renewed a year-old
request to employ a rate expert
to explore the rate structure OF
the gas company. He said MI. De
Lashmutt revealed his true atti-
tude then when he stated: "The
County Board represents not only
the private citizens but the owners
OF the utilities as we'll"
1T is not surprising, therefore, .
Mr.. Cox continued. that nothing
happened until early this year
an election year Tor Mr.. DeLash-
mutt-when Mr.. Blundon :
was put to work.
Whether the Blundon report
will be pigeon-holed, or effective
action taken =. depends upon
who is elected to the County
Board"
MIR. De Lashmutt, who also spoke
at the meeting, pointed out he is
only one of the five members" on
the County Board.
Political Attack Charged.
"Mr. Coxs statement is typical
OF wholly unfounded political at
tacks,' Mr.. De Lashmutt said. "As
Mr.. Cox we'll knows, and as the
facts of the record will show, the
Arlington County Board and the
Public Utilities Commission has
taken every affirmative step to
protect the people against in
creased bus fares and telephone
rates, and to obtain a decrease in
gas rates"
Jacob Bechtel. third candidate
for the four-year County Board
term, told the group of about 30,
that he is the middle of the road
man, and if you want to keep
either side from getting a balance
OF power, you should elect me-"
In another phase of the race,
Daniel A. Dugan. member of the
County Board supporting Mr.. Cox,
replied to request of Democratic
Chairman Harrison Mann to pro-
duce names of "officeholders and
other machine politicians" pres
surfing him to stay out of the Cox
De Lashmutt race.
If Mr.. Mann wishes to ascer-
tain the names suggest that
he poll his stooges, both in and
out Of Office" Mr.. Dugan said.
Those who are guilty will plead
innocent, as they would if I named
them"
