u. S. Contests PUG S
|Pepco Raie award
For Capital Transit

.
Sharp differences In opinion be-
tween the Federal Government
and the Capital Transit Co. over
the Public Utilities Commission
orders Ia increas. rates paid to
the Potomac Electric Power Co.
today in briefs on hle
in District Court.
Capital Transit said the Gov
ernment was tardy In entering
the fight and So was barred from
attacking the distribution Of IN,
creased costs among the various
types Of users Of electricity.
The Government contended
Capital Transit has long enjoyed
"a depressed rate under It's con-
tract with Pepco." Furthermore,
the Government said. the rate
schedule set up by PUG is grossly
discriminatory In favor Of Capital
Transit Co." and maintained
other users have to make up the
difference in cost. some $370, 900.
Both Contest Rates.
But both Capital Transit and
the Government branded as IL
legal the PUG orders on the in
creased rates and asked the court
to void them. The PUG was ac-
cused Of falling to make proper
findings and neglecting to con-
slider adequate evidence. :.
In addition to the Capital
Transit and Government briefs
filed yesterday. Herbert P. Lee
man. civic leader, also filed a
brief with the court as an elec-
trio power user to- protect the in
terests of householders. Mr.. Lee
man, through Attorney Frank B.
Hand. jr., informed the tribunal
householders are bearing the
brunt Of the added costs and that
street lights and street railway
services are not sharing the prop
ef burden.
.ta'' Case Up April Z.
Yesterday was the deadline for
filing briefs by those appealing
from the PUG orders. Pepco and
the PUG will have an opportunity
to answer them when they file
their briefs around February 90
Judge Alexander Holtzof is slated
to hear the case on April Z.
Pepco asked for an increase OF
$3.5 million, but the PUG cut this
to $2.6 million. The distribution
of this increase among the
various types of electricity users
sharpened the disagreements
among them. The new rates are
now in effect.
Attorneys Edmund L. Jones,
F. G. Await and Daryal A. Myse
for Capital Transit said. in their
brief, that any increase in electric
rates for Capital Transit is "un-
just and unreasonable and with
out support by evidence or ap-
|propriate findings" The attorneys
also charged the PUG acted arbi-
trarily in basing its findings on
matters not resting on proof in
the record.
Subsidizing Seen.
The Federal Governments brief
was filed by Assistant Attorney
General Holmes Baldridge, United
States Attorney Charles M. Irelan
and Attorneys Edward H. Hickey
Marvin c. Taylor, William P
Arnold Of the Justice Department
along with Maxwell E. Elliott
general counsel of the General
Services Administration, and his
associate, Frederick w. Dennston
IF Capital Transit needs in
creased fares, that is one thing,
they told the court. "but other
electric rate-payers should not be
required to subsidize transit riders;
they are not Identical"

 Less Featherbedding
 Jim Hurley read a letter from the president of the National Chamber of Commerce urging T resolution from local chambers stating their determination to re- frain from exerting pressure on members of Congress for appro- pration of funds for the benefit of states and local communities dur ing the present spending emer- gency and to oppose any propos- als for increased spending other than clear-cut emergency pro- jects.
 The letter pointed out the fact of paradox: While chambers all over the country clamor for less government spending and de- creases in taxes, they are the most potent lobbyists for federal appropriations to finance need ed" local projects.
 The local chamber discussed the proposed resolution pro and con, but no action was taken. It was decided that chamber mem

The Pacific Oerikon Company of Tacoma, domestic representa- tive of the Oerlikon Engineering Company of Zurich, Switzerland, was awarded the contract for fur nishing and installing two 15,00O kilowa-t capacity generators for the Eklutna Project hydro cleo tric plant, according to a recent announcement of Joseph M. Nor gan, district manager of the Bureau of Reclamation. The suc- cessful bid was S639,004.80.
 Next lowest bids were I've English Electric Co. of Stafford, England, $692, ,569.31; and the FL liott Company of Ridgway, Pen nsylvania, $801,897.62.
 The bid figures include the ac- tural bid plus spare parts, trans portation and inspection costs, and in the case of foreign sup pliers 25 percent differential in accordance with the Buy Ameri- can Act" of March 3, 1883, and a Is percent import duty. The gen. orators will be manufactured in Switzerland and installed by an Alaskan firm as subcontractors for the Pacific Oerlikan Company.

Palmer Battles Seward for Conference Lead Friday
LAST HOME GAME OF SEASON FINDS LOCAL FIVE WITH CONFERENCE FEVER


 pitch this week as a result of community pride in the Palmer High School teams two straight victories over Anchorage, the school gymnasium will be ian packed with cheering fans Fri day night to watch the local Moose clash with the number one team of the Railbelt Conference, the Seahawks of Seward.
 Interest is heightened by the fact that tomorrow nights game will be the last conference game ot the season to be played on the local court. Next week Coach Bob Critics takes his team to Fair banks, where they will play their last two games in the Railbelt Conference series and will remain on for the Western Alaska Basketball Tournament. The tournament, which begins in Fairbanks Wednesday, Febru- ary 20. will last four days-or maybe more, depending on the outcome of the games. The West ern Alaska Class A champions will then play the champions of Southeastern Alaska for the Territorial championship. An chorage won the championship last year.
 4 Teams Evenly Matched
 With the end of the Railbelt Conference series just few days away, it's impossible for anyone to guess at the winners. Red Mur- ray, Anchorage's veteran sports announcer, said he'd never seen time in history when four teams were so evenly matched Seward, the present number one team, has lost three games and won five; Anchorage and Palmer have each lost four and won five Although the Fairbanks record stands at three wins to seven losses, the Malemutes' brilliant teamwork displayed in their re- cent games with Anchorage in dicates no puShover for the Moose next week.
 In tomorrow nights game, the Moose will have an opportunity to become-if only briefly-the number one team of the Rail belt Conference. The Palmer five will have a chance to even the score with Seward and prove that their two losses to the port city team three weeks ago were the result of bad luck, occasioned only by the illness of two star players, Mills and Klem. An chorage, however, will have 2 chance to tie up the lead in their Saturday night game with the SeahaWks. Then the Seward Anchorage contest will be resum- ed at the port city with two games to be played next week end while the local team tackles Fairbanks.
 Conference Fever
 Watching the heated practice session in the local gymnasium Tuesday afternoon. Coach Crites observed that his boys are in fine shape-with the possible ex- ception of Klem. Gus Klem hasn't been able to shake entirely the cold that laid him low in Seward
 In practice this week, the team was trying to sharpen up its defense. We've found from ex- perience that we can't expect to make more than 48-5O points in game" Critics explained. Our best hope is to keep the other teams from, making as many points.
 Its not the individual play ing. It's not good shooting that makes these boys good. It's their never-say-die spirit that counts, Crites added. These boys are getting conference fever. The Seahawks will have to play the best game they've ever played. or they won't win Friday"

IN ENGLAND, King George VI died Wednesday morning, Febru- ary 6, at Sandringham, the royal estate in Norfolk, England where he was born 56 years ago. Prin- cess Elizabeth now becomes Queen Elizabeth II, the first wo- man ruler of Great Britain since Queen Victoria died in 1901.
 IN JUNEAU, the proposal of an auto and freight ferry service on the Inside Passage between Haines and Seattle is being pro- noted with enthusiasm. The long time dream of B. Frank Hein- tzleman, Regional Forester for Alaska, has become a practical possibility since the advent of Ketchikan's new pulp mill has assured profitah'l ret.Arn freight. Supporters point out that the low freight rate possibilities would stimulate the economic development of Southeastern Alaska and provide and natural highway linking Seattle with Alaska. The ferry system would tie into the Haines Road, and thereby to all Alaska via the Alaskan Highway.
 IN KODIAK, Father C. R. King, of the Russian Greek Orthodox Church at Kodiak. died Decem- Der A after several years illness, Born in Unalaska January 8, 1879, he came to Kodiak at the age of l2 years and spent his entire life there except for a year in Seattle in the interest of his health.
 IN FAIRBANKS, while the City Council tried to woo resi- dents of South Fairbanks within the city fold, South Fairbanks night club operators staged a benefit dance January 25 to raise funds for the incorporation of their district as new city named North Pole, Alaska. An over flow crowd of 300 attended the Squadron Club rally where danc- ing was intermingled with speeches for incorporation, serv- ing drinks, and a lively floor show. A realtor claimed that the proposed new city has an assessed valuation of $12,000,000.
 IN SEWARD, a much needed and long hoped for airport be- came a certainty last month with the announcement by Tony Schwamm, director of aviation for the Territory, that advertise ment for bids would appear inn mediately. Plans for the construc- ton of a 3,800-foot long airfield were approved by the Civil Aero nautics Administration several months ago. The runway will ac- commodate planes of the DC-3 type and larger.
 Purchase of the Bank of Sew ard by the First National Bank of Anchorage was announced early last month by D. H. Cuddy' president of the Anchorage Bank. The purchase was the first to be completed under the branch banking law of 1851. The bank will be known as the Seward
