Church Field May Be Entered
By Red-Hunting House Group

WASHINGTON IN - Rep. Velde
GRID, criticized in recent weeks
by three churchmen, said last night
his Un-American Activities Com
mittee may get into ''the church
field" in its hunt for Communists.
The Illinois congressman said in
a radio interview he couldn't tell
at this. time whether the probe
would be into some of the organi-
cations which are affiliated with
the various churches, or whether
it would be individuals.
But, he added: II would rather
presume it would be individuals. :"
In remarks which did not go on
the air, Yelde was quoted as saying
any committee investigation would
probably include individual men,
bers Of the cloth, including some
who seem to have devoted more
time to politics than they have to
The ministry"
Velde's committee has been con-
centrating on an investigation he
says is aimed at ferreting Com
munists out Of the nations colleges.
Two Washington churchmen
spoke out from the pulpit last Mon
day against Velde and two Republic
can senator's -McCartny of WiscOn-
sin and Jenner of IuGiana--who also
are engaged in investigations of
Communist influences.
The Rev. DR.. A. Powell DAVIES
called Velde and the others pre-
tended patriots" who have proved
themselves morally unfit" to in
yestigate the American educational
system.
And the Very Rev. Francis B.
Sayre Jr., dean Of the Washington
Cathedral, said lawmakers we're

of ''Once a thief, always a thief. -

but no one is so good at it as
Caesar Romero. June Havoc can
well cry her last name but
the havoc wrought can't be un-
done, not with Romeo Romero in
the role Of a two-bit CRATER,
exercising a flashy charm of the
kind that would scare most wom-
en- of sense into hasty retreat.
This is q B picture without B
girls. The acting sometimes falls
into class d. Must confess thar
despite the cheap sets and taw-
dry characters that the story was
engrossing enough to see through
to the bitter end and outside
of gall and NORWOOD nothing
could be more bitter not
even Angostora.
It's about girl who can't find
a legitimate job and who, with
surprising weakness for girl who
has had a no-delinquent record,
falls in with a blousy woman who
SWITCHES jewelry while pretending
to be a customer. June Havoc
looks bedraggled and tragic
throughout what follows i. and
well she might. Apprehended as a
thiei, she escapes and starts life
over again as a waitress in a
short order and beer joint. AT a
cleaning establishment (they
have a more efficient cleaning
house in the back-where bookies
clean up), she meets Romero.

fact in itself is all the evidence any
one familiar Uith economics needs to
knOlU to be absolutely certain that the
Ohio POlUer Co. could not possibly
make an offer on our system that
would be economically as good as
keeping our system. This of course
assumes that we can buy the power
at the wholesale rate they offered it
to us.
WHAT is WRONG WITH THE
BUSINESS MEMS COMMITTEE
REPORT?
The Business Mems Committee is
made up of four highly respected
citizens of BlufftOn. Two of them are
connected with businesses which are
now and would continue to benefit
substantially under BlufftOn's rates.
We can only admire them for not
letting this influence their decision.
1t must be remembered however
that none of these men have had
much if any training or experience
in accounting. None of them have
had any experience in the electric
utility business. One of them dis
covered after the committee had
made it's report that there was some
thing seriously wrong with the calcu-
lations upon which the decision was
based. He gave his own report to the
Business Mems Association which
clearly indicated that the people of
BlufftOn will benefit substantially by
keeping their own system rather than
selling out to the Ohio Power
Company.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1953-10-22

Oughly convinced that he was right.
Not until then did he present his,
findings to the board. 1t sounded in
two months, and were finally con-
vinced that he was right. Even so we
were not satisfied. We knew that you
the people of BlufftOn had elected us
to protect your best interests and we
were determined not to take any
chances. We decided to employ the
services of an outside independant
consulting engineer Mr.. J. S. Sawvel
who had had years of experience i'm
the electric utility business, both with
private and municipal systems. We
asked him to make thorough cost
study for us, similar to many other
studies he had made for others. The
Public Utilities Commission of Ohio
strongly recommended him. His
twenty-one page report verified our
findings. The Central Ohio Light and
Power Co. was contacted. They re-
ferred us to the Ohio Power Co. and
from them we were able to get rate
which would bring our cost to approx
imately Lose per XVIII instead of LIS
cents upon which our calculations
had been based. This additional two
tenths of cent per XVIII would
mean a difference of more than S1O,-
900 year.
We checked with the Public Util-
tiles Commission to be sure that the
Ohio Power Co. had a good record
with their wholesale customers. The
Public Utilities Commission told us
that they were not aware of any diff
ficulty ever having existed in Ohio
concerning wholesale rates to munich
palities, and that the Ohio Power Co.
generally had one of the best records
in the state.
EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS
We still were not completely salts
fled. We knew that a good many
municipalities i'm Ohio had for years
been buying power. We decided to
visit several. At Westerville we were
told that over a period of years they
had transferred more than 81 100000
from their electric system to their
sewer fund and had completely re-
built their sewer system. In our
neighboring town of Carey we were
told that their fine modern two story
municipal building had been built
900 with electric system earnings,
they had just replaced 100000 sub
station and still had S120,O00 in cash
and government bonds.
We knew that to continue Operat-
ing as we were was costing the people
of Bluffton 100000 per month more
than if we were buying current
wholesale. We did not want to be res
ponsible for this much longer. Even
