PHONE HEARING
SET FOR MONDAY

Columbus, The Public Util-
tiles Commission of Ohio issued
reminder today that it will hear
complaints next week against the
quality of service supplied by the
Northern Ohio Telephone Compa-
ny of Bellevue.
Commission member Ralph A.
Winter, former state senator from
Leroy, will preside at the public
hearing which will be held Mon
day and Tuesday, August 10 and
IL, in the Common Pleas Court
room of the Huron County Court
house in Norwalk.
Winter said next weeks Ses-
sion would be the second and last
Of two service complaint hearings
planned for the Northern Ohio
Telephone case. He was in charge
of a similar meeting late in July
at Medina where some so witnesses
testified they have had trouble
with the telephone company oper-
ated by William C. Henry of Belle
vue.
The Commissioner said it was
decided to hold a second hearing
when he received numerous mess
ages from persons in western Ohio,
asking if they should plan to at
tend the Medina meeting.
Winter pointed out that the Nor
walk hearing falls in line with the
Utilities Commissions policy of
getting as close as possible to the
roots of rural telephone problems,
at a minimum of expense and
trouble to the subscribers.
He said, 81 feel the Commission
has derived a great deal of good
from this comparatively new prac.
tice of holding hearings out on the
road, away from Columbus. After
all, if you want to get the truth
of a situation, you go out where
things are happening. You don't
sit in an office in Columbus.
'Then, too, responsible business
men who may have telephone
troubles sometimes can take an
hour or two to testify when they
can't spare whole day away from
their jobs. And mothers are in the
same position. They may be able
to find baby sitters for a short
time, but they don't want to leave
the children for II hours tc go to
the capital"

Fla. Bill on Explosives
Hailed

The Florida Legislature, at the
final meeting of its 1853 session,
last week passed an Explosives
Control Bill aimed at statewide
regulation of the sale of dynamite
and other explosives.
The need for such a measure,
which places the manufacture,
distribution and sale of explosives
under strict state supervision,
became clear after the wave of
Florida terror bombings in 1851.
At that time, the Anti-Defama-
ton League of B'nai Birth urged
the passage of a state law as part
of suggested three-pronged pro-
gram of counteraction which also
included community surveys of
tension areas and a general edu-
cational program in behalf of bet
ter intergroup relations. That
same year, the League formulated
a model explosives control ordi-
nance. A number of Florida COM
munities including Miami, Miami
Beach, Hialeah, Miami Springs,
Coral Gables and West Palm
Beach later enacted such ordi-
nances.
Calling the Khan "cancerous
growth" the Grand Jury, which
has been investigating the Florida
bombings and other acts of vio-
lence against minority groups in
the past few years, reported that
"all these acts are primarily with
in the jurisdiction of the state
police power"
