Gas Rate Increase
Defended in Court

The United States Court of
| Appeals today was told it would
be making "a great mistake" if
| it upholds the District Court de-
cision outlawing the 6 per cent
gas rate increase ordered here
last November.
This warning was given the
three-judge tribunal by Attorney
Stoddard M. Stevens, representing
the Washington Gas Light Co.
The gas rate increase, which
amounts to $750,000 additional
annual revenue to the company
was ordered by the Public Utili-
ties Commission. Vernon v. Baker,
chairman of the Public Utilities
Committee Of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, contested
the order in District Court. where
judge T. Alan Goldsborough ulti-
mately set it aside and ordered
new gas rate hearings.
The gas company, with the PUG
on its side, appealed Judge Colds
borough's decision and started
their arguments in the appellate
court before Judges Henry w.
Edgerton. David Bazelon and
Charles Fahy.

nounced today that it would take

project in the governments pro-
gram of state socialism.

be purchased from it's private
owners, has not been announced

1949 in spite of a bitter parlia-
mentary fight by both Conserva-
tive and Liberal opponents Of the
government. was challenged again

ston Churchill's attempt to over
throw the government on a vote
of confidence was defeated by the
narrow margin~of six votes.
Mr.. Churchill contended that
naturalization of the industry
would greatly hamper the coun-
try's rearmament program. The
governments determination to GO
ahead with the take-over was in
terpreted as a concession to the
Labor Party's left wing, which has
been demanding increased Social
ist activity from the government.

it's coal mines. railroads. elec-
tricity, gas. airlines, the Bank of
England and much of the coun-

Truman
Continued. From First Page,

morrow afternoon to attend the
installation of his sister, Miss
Mary Jane Truman, as Worthy
Grand Matron of the Order Of the
Eastern Star in Missouri.
Mr.. Ross prefaced his state
ments by explaining that what he
was about to say was for their
information and guidance and that
he would neither amplify it nor
answer any questions.
What. he was saying, he empha-
sized, would have to speak for it
self.
Then he started, talking slowly:
Arrangements have just been
completed between the President
and Gen. Macarthur for them to
meet somewhere in the Pacific
this coming week end. Details
are now being worked on and viii
be announced later.
"The President will not return
from st. Louis on this trip (start-
ing tomorrow but will go direct
from st. Louis to the meeting
place"
May Be in Pacific.
In the absence of any informa-
ton it was thought that perhaps
the meeting would be in the mid
Pacific. -
Mr.. Truman has frequently ex-
pressed the desire to visit Hawaii,
and is particularly interested in
that section. He had been a strong
advocate for statehood for Hawaii.
The President also has wanted
to visit Alaska, but flying there is
bad this time of the year.
He will use the Independence.
There was nothing to indicate the
personnel of the party which will
accompany him on the plane, but
it was taken for granted that the
high command of the military

French Give Details
On Funds Requested
For Arms Program
By John ScoIi
Associated Press Staff Writer

The French government has be-
gun to lay the groundwork for 9
detailed request for American
funds to help finance the first year
of stepped-up rearmament pro-
gram.
French financial experts have
started presenting initial figures
to the State Department in prep
aration for the arrival Thursday
of French Finance Minister Mau-
rice Petsche.
Mr.. Petsche will sum up France s
case during a round of conferences
with American officials.
The French government. re-
spending to an American plea for
bigger defense spending, has an
nounced its readiness to under
take a $5,710,000,0O0 rearmament
program to strengthen Western
Europe.
The French plan would add
some 250,000 men to the 650,00O
now in the French armed forces.
Britain Asks u. S. to Pay Half.
BY comparison, Britain has
called on the United States to pay
half of the cost of the extra So
billion it plans to spend for de-
fense during the same period.
Informed American officials are
inclined to regard a quick solu-
ton of Frances rearmament
problem as even more pressing
than that Of Britain because:
l. The French government must
present a defense budget to Parlia-
ment shortly after it convenes
October 16.
2. France undoubtedly will get
the biggest chunk of the $4.5 bill
lion Congress has appropriated to
rearm Americas II Atlantic Pact
allies.
Mr.. Petsche is expected to urge
creation of a common financial
pool among the Atlantic Pact
countries to defray rearmament
costs.
Gaitsken Seeing Webb.
American officials see some
merit in the French pool plan as
possible long term solution. But
they feel months of discussion
would be required before any such
arrangement could be adopted.
Britain's Minister of Economic
Affairs, Hugh Gaitskell, is dis
cussing some of his country's re-
armament problems today during
talks with Undersecretary of
State James Webb and other
American officials.
Some informed officials here be-
lieve Britain may have to cut back
popular activities like public hous-
ing and roadbuilding to finance
rearmament.
