In this season for counting on,
blessings, let us all be grateful
and thankful to our agricultural
Santa who has provided us with
such a bountiful supply Of good
1food for our holiday tables. Our
broad fields and acres have pro-
duced q lush pack to fill market
bins, meat counters and grocery
shelves all over our country.
There may be a limit to what
your guests will be able to eat
come Christmas Day, but there's S
almost none to the variety you
can purchase. I took a look
around the wholesale markets the
first of the week just to see the
amount of the produce that rolls
into our Washington area. The
warehouses are packed to the cell
ings with apples of all varieties
from both Western and Eastern
orchards. And good news to the
housewife who has been trying to
balance her budget with all the
holiday extras many OF the
seasonal fruits are considerably
below prices of last year. At
wholesale levels, California navel
oranges are about 81 box cheap
er than In 1948; apples. too, cost
less than last year. Emperor
grapes from California are plenti-
full and very reasonable. Florida
oranges and tangerines are SELL
| ing for about the same as last
season, but you'll pay less If you
want a Puerto Rican pineapple

have both advanced in price due
to unfavorable weather conditions
early in the growing season.
Cooking greens are both plenti-
full and reasonable but the demand
isn't too heavy at the moment.
Maybe it's because people natu-
rally turn to "earthy" vegetables
when cold weather sets in. Pars-
nips, turnips. rutabagas. winter
squash and potatoes are among
the most economical values
Brussels sprouts from the Cali
fornia farms are a good buy and
the quality is unusually fine. The
field-grown tomatoes from Florida
are fairly reasonable and far
cheaper than the hot-house va
riety shipped in from Ohio that
you'll find in some of the speciality
stores. However. if price is no
object, the Ohio tomatoes are real
fancy quality.

PUG Asked 10 Review
Authority Of Officials
To Have PhonesC Cutoff

Attorney John L. Ingoldsby, jr.
said today he was asking the Pub
lie Utilities Commission to. re-
consider its decision Tuesday that
it has the power to decide in in
dividual cases whether the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co
may cut off telephone alIegedly
being used for gambling.
The PUG. in effect. set itself
up as an appeal agency for any
Washington telephone subscriber
threatened with service cutoff be-
cause of the United States at
torney's anti-gambling campaign
Mr.. Ingoldsby's petition said
the opinion "erroneously con-
cludes that letter sent by law
enforcement officer to the tele-
phone company in accordance
with the language of the tariff
constitutes probable cause to be-
lieve that it's facilities are being
used for unlawful purposes"
Company Seen Protected.
The contention was based on the
argument that the effect of a letter
from a law enforcement officer
lis none other than to convey in
formation do the telephone
company and place the telephone
company on notice of what the
agency believes the situation
to be-" -.
The petition said the order OF
the PUG gives the company ar
immunity from liability for the
wrongful djscontinuance of tele.
phone service. .
"The review of the telephone
company provided for in the com.
mission order is in law and in fact
no review at all for the reason
that the commission has already
decided that in all cases the mere
receipt Of a letter from Law
enforcement agency stating hi
belief that the telephone facility
is being used or will be used un-
lawfully, is deterninative," the
petition said.
Restaurateurs Represented.
Mr.. Ingoldsby represents Harry
and Bertha Katz. proprietors of a
restaurant who live in the 3100
block of Walbridge place NV.
They were among 324 persons who
faced loss of telephone service in
line with the company's policy of
acting on competent" evidence
to cut off service.
Under the PUCs ruling. from
now on any person who is notified
his phone Is about to be taken out
because he is accused OF using it
for gambling may go to the PUG
Immediately and plead unfairness
or, insufficient cause. The COM
mission then will decide whether
the phone should be taken out or
in service.
