NOJSu AOI Tile JILL aIbcr SENATOR
Morse, Independent, Of Oregon
declared fatty he was satisfied
there could be no invasion of
the rights Of the independent
operator. Senator Morse last
week made an extensive study Of
the problem in conference with
q group of Is cabbies.
Chairman Case suggested a
time limit on the authority to be
granted to the utilities commits
sion. so that Congress, after two
Or three years. would have to
review the whole program.
Senator Morse objected to that
because he said it would mean a
revival of the whole issue if il
becomes necessary for Congress
to act again. He agreed, how
ever, to compromise restriction
which would mean that the utili-
ties commission would have to
report after one year of its use
OF the authority and that the
District Committee would have tc
review the subject after two
years.
Senator Morse assented to
that though he said it was not
necessary since everyone con-
cerned should know that Con-
gress retained the power to re-
view and check up at any time
it desired.
Opposed by North Carolinian.
This bill was the only one
considered today where there
was an adverse vote. This was
registered by freshman Senator
Erwin, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, who said he was funda-
mentally opposed to this type
OF bill. The measure was re-
ported by a roll call vote of 4
to l.
Senator Erwin was concerned
about the question of MONOPOLY
but other committeeman saio
that the District bill contains
protective clauses for he in
dependent operator not found in
the laws of other cities which
restrict cabs.
The move for a primary elec-
ton OF District delegates to DO.
litical conventions has been con.
sidered and pigeon-holed fol
some years. Demands for it's en-.
actment reached a climax before
the 1852 conventions but actor
was delayed because so littl,

ton.
About so per cent of our oil
imports come from outside the
Western Hemisphere.
True, most of this imported oil
goes into the stockpile. But the
wartime oil needs of this coun-
try would be immense.
Far less oil was being used in
World War II than we use today.
Yet to supplement scanty oil
supplies at that time, when
anthracite production was about
IS million tons annually, it was
necessary for the Government to
step in and allocate hard coal
supplies on the basis of 80 per
cent OF normal use.
Today, anthracite production
Is only about 80 million tons
and a lot of the earlier potential
output is under the flood waters
that sweep in inexorably when
mines are abandoned.
We'll have rationing sys-
tenn for oil and gasoline such as
this country did not dream of in
the last war. and there'll be con-
ditions in our schools and fac
tories bordering on panic if war
comes" insists Frank w. Earnest,
president of the Anthracite In
stitute, and principal spokesman
for the industry.
Coal Industry Viewpoint.
Discussing the outlook at his
Office in Wilkes-Barre, Pa, in
the center of the Nations hard
coal supply, Mr.. Earnest con-
tinued:
Actually, oil should be used
only in mobile equipment. That
and gas are getting the business
that should go to coal, if we are
to be safe.
1--WE need a national fuel pol
Icy, spelled out by the Govern
ment, to conserve these natural
resources"
The same argument is echoed
by John L. Lewis, president Of
the United Mine Workers Of
America, and is akin to thai
dressed on the White House II
recent weeks by Governors from
all the coal States-bituminou.
and anthracite-as well as unior
and business leaders and othel
officials, who are seeking to ease
, the plight Of the coal industry
When some one reminded Mr.
Earnest that talk about restrict.
ing the use of gas and oil tt
force coal sales sounded suspi.
ciously like the arguments of thu
railroads Is years ago, when they
began to feel the impact o.
trucks and buses. he smilinglj
agreed that was true.
But" he said, when 70,
were talking about saving tn,
railroads, you were not talking
about a natural resource. Tina
makes the difference.
"You cannot casually shu
down mine and then bring i
back to production, when and i
needed. Nor can you use oil
and gas-indiscriminately, ant
still have an abundance at call
And you cannot convert oil

night. These are the factors tn
Government must weigh"
Mr.. Lewis is equally outspokel
on the subject. He told the con
ference of coal State Governor

Done in the best tradition of the
classical painter is his still-life of
bananas and oranges with an an
cient bottle and pewter plate.
This painting would add a touch
of sunlight to any wall. In direct
contrast is the line of autumn pop
lars swaying under a snow-laden
sky. Although the brilliant yellows
and reds of autumn leaves are the
main colors in this picture, the
somberness of approaching winter
is in every brush stroke.
Also reminiscent Of his years
stay in upper Michigan is the mod
ern and welldesigned wheat field
ready for harvest with a flight of
black birds in formation above it.;
and the haunting charm of an
abandoned mill, with bright moon
light adding a ghostly light to the
building and racing waters before
it.
To prove the unforgettableness of
the Key West scene, and perhaps
with a bit of nostalgia for the SUM-
ny skies and soft winds of his
adopted home, Mr.. Agricola's tai
ented brush put ON canvas two of
the most recurrent scenes of our
locale: a boat in dry dock amidst
the mangroves, and helldivers ON a
channel marker.
To round out the show there are
a few of his incompatible pen and
ink line drawings, line and wash
paintings, and two figure studies
in lovely pastel colorS. One, a de-
icately rendered semi-nude of
blonde loneliness, and the other a
pink ballerina.
