DISTlLLERS GET TAX
RELIEF In HOUSE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
First tax legislation of the S3rd Con-
gress will probably be relief for
liquor makers. The House passed a
bill, July z, extending the time from
eight to II years that whiskey, gin,
and other spirits may remain in u.
S. bonded warehouses tax-free. Dis
tillers said the extension was need
ed to keep large liquor stocks from
being forced onto the market and de-
pressing prices. House leaders, the
WALL STREET JOURNAL said, re-
sorted to lengthy parliamentary ma
to avoid roll call vote on
the bill.

Municipal Power Costs
Less, Increases Use

WASHINGTON, D. C;E(CNs)-
City-owned power plants give their
customers the cheapest electric SER
vice in the country.
A Federal Power Commission sur
vey of cities over 100000 shows that
of the 16 cities where rates are low

tiles. Those 13 publicly-served COM
munities are Tacoma Cowest) and Sc
attic, Wash; Glendale, Sacramento,
Los Angeles, Alameda, and Burbank,
Calf; Springfield, Ill.,; Kansas City,
Kans.; and Chattanooga, Knoxville,
Tenn. Privately-served cities in the
first 16 are Spokane, Wash, Madison,
Wis, and Wichita, Kans.
People use the most electricity in
cities with municipally-owned utili-
ties too. The nationwide average resi-
Dental consumption is $50 kilowatt
hours a month, but in Tacoma it's al
most four times that-561 kilowatt
hours. Of the top seven cities in kilo-
watt hours used, five = Tacoma,
Chattanooga, Knoxville,
and Seattle-have municipal plants.

BLOW TO FERTILIZER
DEVELOPMENT

The Montana Senator discussed in
detail the blow Congress- action has
been to the possibility of developing
a western phosphate fertilizer indus
try.
Three farmer cooperative groups
have phosphate holdings in the
Rockies but cannot get sufficient
low cost power to build electric
furnace plants, he reported.
$50 development is stopped cold
today and for several years past
awaiting low cost power which only
this Congress can make available"
Senator Murray told the Senate. "The
plans are drawn. The needed dams
and transmission lines are part of
the Columbia Basin plan. We need
only to authorize the self-liouidat-
ing investment in the dams and lines
in Americas future-to meet this
increasingly pressing need of Amer

1t would cost an enemy tremend-
ously in men, planes and material to
do as much damage to American pro-
ductive capacity as has Congress,
Senator James E. Murray told the
Senate as it prepared to adjourn.
Libby and YellowtaiI dams in
Montana, and Ice Harbor dam on
the Columbia River, have been
bombed out" for at least another
year by Congress refusal to APP
propriate modest sums to get them
started, Senator Murray said.
The Dalles Dam on the Columbia
has been put out of commission for
at least year by reduction in the
appropriation for its construction,
which engineers had warned would
add a year to the time required to
get its generators going.
Going over the electric map of the
United States, Senator Murray point
ed out electric generating and trans
facilities which had been
bombed out" by the Congress-in
the Southwest and other
areas as we'll as the Northwest, in
Guiding Montana.
The facilities are greatly needed,
the Montana Senator said, reading
from the report of the Presidents Ma
terials Policy Commission, headed
by William S. Paley, head of the
Columbia Broadcasting System.
The report showed that the
United States will need to increase
electric generating capacity 2603o
over 1850 to meet requirements in
1875. 1t also finds that it will take
all the generating capacity which
both the government and private
utilities can install to meet these
requirements.

The Commission warned US, Sena-
tor Murray informed the Senate
Shortages of electricity and rising
real cost could impede economic
growth; they could throttle national
effort in event of war.
"The National interest in great
er production at lower costs will be

quirements, for close Indignation be-

only contribute to power shortages
and higher energy costs
A DISSERVICE TO THE NATION
The Congress has slowed up and
prevented expansion of our electric
facilities in face of existing power
shortages, Senator Murray charged.
He pointed out that the utilities
had pledged to install 9 million kilo-
watts of generating capacity, but they
actually installed only 6.3 million
They have pledged another 10 mil

enough to meet increasing require

promised amount will come into pro-
luction.
