Virginia Delays Action
On Ross|yn Gas Rates
Pending FPC Move
By the Associotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 30
Arlington's move to obtain lower
gas rates from the Rosslyn Gas
Co., will be heard by the State
Corporation Commission after the
Federal Power Commission deter
mines a related case.
H. Lester Hooker, chairman OF
the sec. received the Arlington
petition yesterday. He said the
Virginia case in large measure de-
pends directly on the Federal
Power Commissions ultimate de-
cision as to the fairness Of whole
sale natural gas rates which are
controlled by the FPC.
The petition asked the State
commission for relief and charged
that the Washington Gas Light
Co., discriminates against its sub
sidiary, the Rosslyn Company. in
furnishing it natural gas. The
natural gas In question is furnish
ed by the Potomac Gas Co.. an
other subsidiary Of the Washington
Gas Light Co., which hooks into
a pipe line near Dranesville, Va.
The Rosslyn company retails gas
now not only to Arlington homes
but to points in Alexandria and
Fairfax County.
The Arlington petition, signed
by Basil M. Delashmutt, chairman
of the county board, claims that
the present wholesale rate is much
to high in relation to charges
made to other subsidiaries Of the
Washington company and that the
Rosslyn company did not pass on
to its customers approximately
5000, 900 in wholesale gas reduc-
tions by the Federal Power Com
mission in 1916.
It is alleged in the petition that
the present wholesale rate was
fixed at a time when the natural
gas for the Rosslyn company all
came from Rockville, Md, and
that now. when it comes directly
into Rosslyn from Draneswille, 1t
should be sold at q lower whole
sale rate because delivery costs
are lower.
The petition says that the Wash
ington company pays only 33 cents
per thousand cubic feet for the
gas at Dranesville but charges the
Rosslyn company SIT per cent
for delivery 16 miles away.
It was suggested in the petition
that the FPC and the sec make
a joint inquiry into the matter.
and this, In effect, is what the
sec has decided to do.

and its hundreds Of Western Shore
inlets was on today for a man
and a woman who disappeared
from the mans cabin cruiser.
Charles and Harold Lord OF
Cambridge, Md, hired the plane
to look for their brother and his
companion.
The Harriet R., trim little
cabin cruiser, washed against a

morning.
Mr.. Wright did not know her
last name. but she mentioned her
home was in Miami. Fla. She was
about 20. tall and slender, and
had brown hair and blue eyes.
Peggy asked Mr.. Lord to take
her for a boat ride. They left
North Beach about noon and Mr..
Wright stayed ashore.
Mr.. Wright said that Robert
Lewis, a party boat captain, told
him he saw the Harriet r. twice
after that, the last time about 5
pm.
Mr.. Wright waited until about
10 pm. and then drove back to
Cambridge with a friend. He
thought the couple had gone
ashore to escape the 55-mile-an-
hour gale.

Shortly after daybreak yester-
day, George Wells. a handyman at
Hilsmere Farm on the bank of
South River, saw the boat rolling

Last week l discussed the need of
Social Security for children. Today
we shall go further into the Old

Monthly insurance benefits help

They help make it possible for a

children are growing up Children
are given the opportunity to finish
high school, and mothers are given
a better opportunity to stay at home
and give their full attention to
homemaking and child rearing. So
cial Security benefits do not replace
the entire earnings for the family
which are lost because of the work
er's retirement or death, but they
help to meet this loss through reg
ular payments during the years
when family responsibilities are
heaviest.
