Every effort must therefore be

receive wages sufficient to meet ade-
quately ordinary domestic needs. If in
the present state of society this is
not always feasible, social justice
demands that reforms be introduced

cry working man just such a wage"

rector for the special House commit

Northern Montana Phone

Telephone service for almost

Hill county area took a long step
nearer reality last week when Rural
Electrification Administration, Wash

loan to the Triangle Telephone Asso-

The loan will be used to build
1900 miles of lines and other installa-

Chouteau counties, to serve rural
subscribers of the area.

want control, not only over power
they produce, but over power from
plants the taxpayers build and the
public owns"
EEL says it's an educational and
research organization" AS a lobby,
it wouldn't be entitled to income tax
exemption. Biggest lobby is National
Association of Electric Companies. 1t
spends more than any other.
Ellis told how power companies
fought every federal dam. "Now these
are fact. Their value no longer can
be denied. SO these firms are willing
to accept the fact, with one stipula-
tlon-that they be allowed to erect
their own toll gates and levy tribute
before any of the American people
can share directly in the benefits of
these projects built with taxpayers
money"
Power companies now get all the
power from some federal dams at
about one mill per kilowatt hour, Ell
lis said. They get three times as much
federal power as electric co-ops.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
The u. S. Supreme Court ruled tha'
Federal Power Commission has the
authority to fix rates of firms sell
ing natural gas to pipelines, June 4
It was a 5-to-3 decision, with Justice
Robert H. Jackson taking no part.
The decision affects $500 "lnde-
pendent" gas producers whose rates
haven't been regulated by the feder-
al government. FPC had ruled that
it didn't have the power to fix rates
of Phillips Petroleum Company The
court said it did.
Now FPC will see whether rates
Phillips charges five interstate pipe
lines. distributing gas in IA states,
are fair and reasonable"
Said Justice Sherman Minton in
the majority opinion, Regulation of
sales in interstate commerce for re-
sale. made by a so called Independent
natural gas producer, isn't essentially
different from regulation of such
sales when made by an affiliate of
an interstate pipeline.
I'm both cases, the rates charged
may have a direct and substantial
affect on the price the ultimate con-
sumner pays. Protection of consumers
against exploitation by natural gas
companies was the primary aim of
the act.
Attempts to weaken this protec-
ton by mandatory legislation exempt
ing independent producers have re-
peatedly failed. We refuse to achieve |
the same result by strained inter
probation of the existing law"

Senate Group GrudgingIy
0kays FPC Decision
On Niagara Falls

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Niagara Falls is a hot potato. The
Senate public works committee voted
to toss it to Federal Power Commits
sion, June 8.
The group narrowly approved a
bill to let FPC decide whether New
York Power Authority or five pri-
vate power firms shall develop the
site. The vote was to 6. If the bill
should get through the Senate and
the House and gain President Ell
senhower's approval, FPC would be
required to give preference to a
public body, like New York state, I'M
less it could find strong reasons for
disregarding the federal power act.
But at least two senators-Pres-
colt Bush (R-Conn.) and Robert w.
Upton (R-N. H. - who voted for
the bill in committee reserved the
right to oppose it on the floor. They
favored a House-passed bill turning
Niagara Falls over to the power COM
panies.
Senator Edward Martin (R-Pa.),
committee chairman, voted against
the bill in committee. Without pres
sure from him, it may never reach
the Senate floor.
