Plan for Freeze
On Gas Heaters
Hit as Unfair
Arlington Lawyer
Attacks ProposoI
For D. c. Suburbs

A move to freeze gas heating
installations in the Washington
area. was criticized as discrimina-
tory and unfair today by Albert
A. Carretta, attorney for the Ar
lington County Board in the recent
gas rate case before the Federal
Power Commission.
The Columbia Gas System, sup
plier of natural gas for the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. and its sub
salaries, has moved to prevent
further installation of gas fur
naces in the Maryland and Vir-
ginia suburbs. saying that de-
fensive requirements have reduced
the available supply. A similar
move is expected in the District.
Mr.. Carretta said today that
the rate hearings Just con-
cluded, in which decision is still
pending, disclosed that the CO.
lumbia Gas System expanded it's
operations along the eastern sea-
board tremendously in, 1850. He
said that cut in service, if neces-
Sary, first should affect the new
customers of Columbia, including
such. metropolitan areas as Balti-
more, Norfolk and Richr.ond.
"1t does not seem logical for
a gas supplier to spread itself so
thin that it cannot give complete
service to all its customers" Mr.
Carretta said. ut appears to me
that it would be much better for
a company to serve a few Gus
toners well rather than to serve
many customers poorly"
He said the Virginia State Cor
poration Commission recently de-
MED a subsidiary of the Columbia
Gas System similar freeze order |
that would have affected the
WayneSboro area. This request
was denied due to an aroused
citizenry, Mr.. Carretta said.
Mr.. Carretta represented Ar
lington before the Federal Power
Commission during the hearings
for higher gas rates, which began
last August and were concluded
early this year. He said the rate
increase would cost Washington
area consumers about SIS million. /
Arlington consumers alone would !
pay about $250,000 more, he esti-
mated.

cational exchange program. He
will leave the United States Mon
day.
Mr.. farrell, who is 80 and lives
at 1920 Usage street, College
Park, said he is taking a three
month leave of absence for the
State Department assignment. He
said Miss Ellen Linson will take
over his post in his absence and
that Arthur Simonds will succeed
Miss Linson as supervisor of the
county's summer playground pro-
gram.
Mr.. FARRELL figured in the recent,
bitter battle which resulted in the
abolition of the Prince Georges
County Recreation Department.
The county commissioners elimi-
mated the department from the
1852 fiscal budget which went into
effect Sunday despite criticism
from many quarters.
The Park and Planning Com
mission, however, decided to start
a recreation program in the metro
politan area of the county this
summer and retained Mr.. farrell
and his staff to supervise it.
A native of College Park, Mr..
FARRELL supervised recreation pro-
grams in Washington and ths
Panama Canal Zone before re-
turning to his home county. He
attended the University of Mary
land, receiving his BIS. degree in
1895 and his MA. in 1889, both in
physical education and recreation.

Civil Defense-PIa
Mock Bombing Raid
Alarms Mary|anders
By the Assoeioied Press

BALTIMORE, July 5.-Tele-
phones at newspaper Offices. police
headquarters and the telephone
company set up merry jangle
last night with calls from worried
residents that the city was being
A-bombed.
And at Hagerstown, rs miles
away, woman rushed excitedly
into a church service and broke
it up by shouting Baltimore is
being bombed and the planes are
on their way to Hagerstown now. "
The calls grew out of a mock
atomic attack on the city staged
by civil defense agencies. The
mock attack was carried by all
radio stations in the State.
1t was reminiscent of a radio
networks broadcast of Orson
Wells invasion from Mars" more
than a decade ago which panicked
people throughout the Nation.
For several days, radio spot an
have explained that
the program would be aired-and
that it was only a mock raid. Last
nights program was broken every
few minutes to assure listeners it
wasn't the real thing.
Those who became alarmed, ap-
parently only heard snatches of
the program and didn't hang
around to hear the drill an
nouncements.
A telephone operator at the Sum-
papers reported these snatches:
HAS the bomb hit Baltimore?"
Il was scared to death. To
tell you the truth. I thought
the Reds was here"
There was a bunch of us at
the radio at my house and we all
got excited and rushed out"
Nobody killed. really?"
The Rev. j. Edgar Beckley, pas
tor of the Point Salem Mission,
an interdenominational church at
Hagerstown, said after the woman
screamed her warning from the
door a near-panic was averted by
a quick-thinking man who jumped
up and explained he heard the
announcement. that it was Just a
drill.
But his services were over for
the night.
1t seemed the woman heard a
bit OF the program on a portable
radio belonging to a boy who was
sitting on the curb outside the
church.
Other calls came from many
parts Of the State.
