Candidates for
Commissioner
McGorroghy, Gorrett.
CoIIodoy and Strong
On Tentative List
By John w. Stepp

Washington's organized Repub-
licans, anticipating party VIC
tory in November, have compiled
a tentative list of the local party
faithful whom they will nominate
for two District Commissioner
ships.
At the moment, four names are
on it. They are:
Joseph c. McGarraghy. attor-
ney. chairman of the State Com
mittee and longtime Republican
big wheel here.
Clyde D. Garrett. attorney and
G. o. P. precinct chairman since
1920.
Edward F. Colladay, attorney
and a leading light of the WASH
ington Board of Trade for which
he has served many years as gen.
eral counsel.
L. Corrin Strong, president of
the Hattie M. Strong Foundation.
Incumbents' Pledge Cited.
Basis of the early spadework is
the public pledge of the two in
cumbent civilian Commissioners
Democrats F. Joseph Donohue and
Renah F. Camalier-to resign if
their party is defeated in the ma
tional election. Mr.. Donohue'S term
still has 18 months to run. Mr..
Camalier has been in Office only
two of the allotted SO months.
Carl L. Shipley, president of the
District Young Republicans Club.
said yesterday that the task of
screening Republican hopefuls for
the Commissionerships has de-
volved upon his group. THE State
Committee is leaving the job Of
screening to. us because some of
their number might logically be
nominees"
More May Be Added.
While four Republicans are on
the list-and there may be more
incorporated - Mr.. Shipley said
the plans are to winnow it down
to perhaps only two names.
I'm order to make our sug-
gestions as forceful as possible we
want to offer perhaps only two
nominees as the most competent
and qualified for the job," he as
serted.
A number of other Republican
stalwarts including Edgar Morris.
chairman of the Public Welfare
Board, have been mentioned and
must be considered, Mr.. Shipley
said.

Open Council 4
Meetings Asked
yDonohue
Hopes Advisory Unit
Will Act on Its
Own Initiutive

The Citizens Advisory Council
should open its meetings to the
public. Commissioner F. Joseph
Donohue said last night.
Mr.. Donohue said the commits
sioners can't directly force the
change. although he pointed out
they select, the council members
But he added he hopes the council
will act on its own initiative.
He suggested the city's news
papers should press the matter
on the council.
The nine-member council, Gre
ated July l to advise the city
heads, now votes and conducts dis
cussions in secret. 1t has set a
policy of hearing witnesses in
public, however.
Before the council was erected,
Mr.. Donohoue publicly stated he
favored open meetings. He was
asked about his present views on
his weekly broadcast last night
over Station WWDC.
Public Entitled to Know.
Mr.. Donohue compared the
council meetings with meetings
OF the commissioners, most of
which now are open to newspaper
reporters.
Zone of the great problems the
District has," he declared, sis in
making its problems understood
by the citizens and by the men,
bers Of Congress. Open hearings
would do more to bring complete
information to the citizens and
to Congress than any other
method.
with respect to 80 per cent of
the matters, think the public is
not only entitled to know what
we do" he continued. "but why
we do it,"
Only when discussing individual
personnel, Mr.. Donohue told re-
porters, should council meetings
be secret.
Confident on Bridge Site
The commissioner told report
ers he is convinced that If a
group of editors went before the
council with a request for open
sessions, "the council couldn't t
deny the logic Of their request" "
Mr.. Donohue disclosed on his
broadcast that he hopes to an
nounce soon the membership Of
an organization committee for a
proposed council representing the
Washington areas governing
bodies.
He also said he is confident a
new Potomac. bridge could be
built across Theodore Roosevelt
Island despite opposition of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association,
which, controls the island.
He told reporters the commits
sioners would seek to have Con-
gress override the association on
the matter If that location is de-
cided on. The city heads recently
sent alternative proposals for
bridge sites to Congress, without
recommending any site.
MIR. Donohue said he hasn't
made up his mind on the best
location for the next bridge.
Actually two are needed, he said,
adding that the only question is
which will be built first.

ID. {. Rackets Jury
will Continue Probe,
|reIan Declares

The special District rackets
grand jury is going to keep on
working despite Attorney General
Met Granery's action junking the
special jury system set up by his
predecessor.
United States Attorney Charles
M. Irelan said yesterday he has
no orders to halt its work, but
would ask the Justice Department
this week what needs to be done
under the Attorney Generals
policy ruling.
In abandoning plans for an an
nual call of special grand juries to
look into local crime conditions
over the Nation, Mr.. McGranery
said he feels such investigations
can be left safely to regular Fed
eral grand juries.
"Showmanship ought not to be
any part of the administration OF
Justice" the Attorney General said
"Such administration calls for
dignity and certainty"
Initiated by Committee.
The idea of special grand juries
to investigate local crime first was
put forth by a Senate Crime In
vestigating Committee headed by
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, OF
Tennessee. Former Attorney Gen
eral J. Howard McGrath put il
into effect. But some Federal
judges received the idea coolly.
Mr.. McGranery also announced
yesterday he is disbanding the
13-man racket unit" which Mr.
McGrath established last January
to evaluate the work of the
special juries and keep the pro-
gram going.
Concerning the local Jury. Mr..
Irelan said he had received no no
tice of the change in plans. He
said he knew nothing about it un-
til he read about it in the news
papers.
Probes to Continue.
| There is no question that the
current investigation into narcot-
les traffic and other crime will
continue, whether by a so-called
special grand jury or by another
regular grand jury" Mr.. Irelan
said. After all, a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet. "
The prosecutor recalled that the
work load in the District is greater
in the States because of this city's
status as a Federal District. In
the States, local crimes are
handled by local grand juries,
while Federal grand juries deal
only with crimes against the Fed
eral Government.
/ Mr.. Irelan said the current
Irackets grand jury, which has
been in recess for more than q
month, would resume sessions
probably Wednesday.
| Kefauver Backs Idea.
Senator Kefauver recently re-
Iiterated his faith in the plan for
special grand juries. He said sc
sessions were held this year and
about $50 racketeering indict-
mentS returned.
| 1t was Mr.. McGrath's intention
to have the special juries meet in
January of each year to examine
local law enforcement officials
and known criminal characters
land to return indictments when
Federal violations could be estab-
hshed.
Mr.. McGranery said an effec-

istence most readily when a need
is shown for it." he said. land the

the various districts Of the United
States are quite capable Of taking

with violation OF our Federal
laws.

CARIBBEAN FEDERATION ~-
PLANS ARE UNDER way for aGaribbean Federation
comprised of the Islands of the British West Indies-Iamaica,
the Leeward and Windward Islands, and Trinidad. Barbados
and the Virgin group are yet undecided. Delegates from these
groups will go TO the Colonial Office ii London next April
for discussions.
WHILE THIS federation plan will not affect us directly
it most certainly IS Of interest to Us because Of what may re-
suit in the long run. As part Of the overall Caribbean area,
our social and economic problems are closely allied, and any
Strengthening Of one portion or section will have its whole
some effects upon the others.
REASONS FOR SEEKING federation are mainly two
fold. First these islands need to pool their resources and seek
economic development through joint action, and this must
start with joint planning, which can be done best through
federation. And the federation will start With unified govern
ment control Second, there IS the ever searching uneasiness
which comes from a desire for self government. The history
Of colonial government is too well known to require detailed
discussion, but the time has no doubt come when people want
to assert a greater voice in their destiny, and this must begin
at The lowest level Of government,
SINCE THE introduction Of slavery IN this part Of the
world progress has been slow, and the rapid development in
other sections have seemed to highlight the need for improve
ment. With possibilities for economic development and Al
raised standard Of living in many parts, the demands Of the
day certainly point TO federation as one. way out, Health
measures, public works program, education and other phases
Of life need improving, at least at a pace with the more pro-
gressive parts Of the British Commonwealth and the world
Federation may be the answer
AS YET BARBADOS and the Virgin group have not
committed themselves, but BY April when the London meet
ing IS scheduled these might have fallen il line.
SINCE WORLD WA Il, these areas have become
known to tourists, and their possibilities have doomed even
larger. This tourist trade is valuable, but there is need forI

EXPANSION OF FUEL GAS
FACILITIES MAY UP RATES

The Ohio Fuel Gas Company
which has spent $82 million during
the past five years for new facili-
ties to deliver more natural gas
to its customers, plans a $22 mil
lion construction program for 1852,
B. j. Huffman, Ohio Fuel man
ager, here said today.
That information is contained
in a special letter written to
Huffman by w. N. Granstead,
Ohio Fuel president, ''to report on
some of the things Ohio Fuel has
done during the past five years to
plan for and help meet today's de-
mand for natural gas" The let
ter also outlines the company's
plans for 1852.
Construction investments by
Ohio Fuel average more than $153
for each retail customer since
1916. The company shows record
deliveries and services for 1851.
Since 1916, Huffman said, Ohio
Fuel has:
Increased it's annual gas deliv-
cries by 80 per cent, an all-time
high.
Extended gas service to 10000
new consumers.
Furnished gas for heating to six
times as many homes.
The company currently serves a
total of $4,000 customers. Of

those, 314,000, or more than one
half, now have gas heat. Ohio
Fuel had only $4,000 customers
who used gas for heating in 1916,
Huffman said
Ohio Fuel spent S24 million
for new pipelines and other facili-
ties in 1851, including six-inch
line in Port Clinton. That brought
the company's fve-year total for
construction to $50 million. Grin
stead's letter pointed out that
''This past year we we're de-
livering more gas to more people
than ever before in our history
Ohio gets more natural gas than
any other state in the nation ex-
cept. Texas and California How
ever, demands for gas we're so
great, we had to ask for restric-
tions on new heating users to pro-
tect our present customers.
'The past year, too, was the last
year in which we will be able to
offset continually increasing costs
by increasing the volume of our
gas sales. Southwest gas prices
are being increased by our sup
pliers with approval of the Fed
eral Government through the Fed
eral Power Commission. The
costs of payrolls pensions and
other employee benefits are up.
