may be exposed while travelling

From all indications, this will
be a bumper year for such House

travel by members would be held
to essential business.
One veteran House member
who hasn't missed a foreign trip
in years predicted that about
hair the members will be out of
the country before the end of the

Technically. all the projected
trips will be on official business

Arlington Pipeline
Sale Recommended
by Federal Examiner
Federal Power Commission Elk

Federal Power Commission Ex-
aminer Ewing G. Simpson has
recommended that the Potomac
Gas Co. be authorized to buy
$4,000 feet of 12-inch natural gas
pipe line in Arlington County from
the Rosslyn Gas Co. Both COM
panies are subsidiaries of the
washington Gas Light. Co.
The purchase proposal was
opposed by the Virginia State
Corporation Commission. the Arl-
ington County Board and civic
federations in Arlington and Fair
fax Counties. The opponents have
IS days to file objections to the
FPC examiners findings. Such
action would automatically require
the full power commission to re-
view the case.
In opposing the transaction. Arl-
ington County spokesmen argued
that the petition should be denied
or not considered, until the FPC
acts on a county complaint that
Potomac's proposed rate schedule
is unjust and discriminatory. The
acquisition. county spokesmen
said. may be part of a long range
plan that would mean higher rates
for Arlington customers.
The section of line involved in
the proposed purchase has a ca
pacity of more than $4,000, 900
cubic feet q day. It extends from
the Arlington County terminus Of
the Potomac Gas Co. line at Lee
boulevard and Fillmore street to
a connection with Washington
Gas Lights system on the Vir-
ginia side Of Key Bridge.
Potomac plans to use the line
for transportation of gas for the
account of Washington Gas Light
Co. The line could be used to
move gas to the Washington COM
pany's system in the District, and
from the Washington company's
District system into Virginia.
The District Public Utilities
Commission supported the pro-
posed sale.
In recommending approval Mr..
Simpson said, "The acquisition
would not adversely affect cost
of service, or rates to any SUBJ
sidiary or any customer thereof,
and would not result in or cause
maintenance of any unreasonable
difference In rates or charges.

One of the founders of Histadrut,
DR.. Ben-Zevie has beenS in the

the support of these displaced per-
sons.
At press conference yesterday at

the problems of absorbing the i'm
migrants into the growing state.
"They come to us with nothing
no clothes and no money" he said.
They need houses, training and

up to us to raise. funds for the re-
habilitation and absorption of these
newcomers"

risen. We had 10000 in November

people, he added, are vitality needed
in Israel to strengthen the labor
forces.
Successful immigration, he pre-
dicted, will be one factor in deter
