Kefauver Attacks
Vepco for Spreading
Anti-U. ). Power Talk

In an attack on the Virginia
Electric and Power Co. today,
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee, charged the firm was
sending out anti-Goyernment
power literature.
A printed copy of speech by
Clarence E. Manion, urging sale
of the Tennessee Valley Author
ity by the Government, which
Senator Kefauver said Vepco
was mailing to its shareholders,
prompted his comments.
Rates Compared.
In a prepared statement, the
Tennessee Senator claims, among
other things, that Vepco GUS
toners in Alexandria pay more
fo relectric power than WASH
ington residents, who are served
by the Potomac Electric Power
Co.
Senator Kefauver said the
Manion speech was described by
Vepco officials in an accompany
ing letter as a "forthright- state
ment of facts" and a statement
of "the fundamentals of the
American way of life"
To this, Senator Kefauver de-
clared:
"The statement is not a state
ment of facts by any means but
I believe the shareholders of
Vepco, and even more the rate
payers of Vepco, would be inter-
ested in why this utility wants
the IVA sold.
"One can get an inkling why
by examining their rate struc-
ture. Vepco users in Alexandria.
for instance. pay $3.50 per $50
kilowatt hours. while right across
the Potomac River in Washing
ton ratepayers of another pri-
vate utility pay $5.84 for the
same amount.
Set on Destroying
"At the other end of the Vepco
systematic iva end-the same
bill for iva users is SIS. Natur-
ally, along with their allies on
the western side of IVA - the
Dixon Yates combination-Vep-
CO is set on destroying this ex-
ample of what is fair bill for
power"
According to Senator Kefau-
yer, before the merger of two
companies which formed Vepco,
the two firms were required to
write off more than $28 million
in ''inf1ationary items" from their
books.
"Infiationary items is another
way of saying items used for the
purpose of building up a high
rate structure and milking the
public" said Senator Kefauver.
THAT the day of inf1ationary
items is not entirely over would
be indicated by the fact, which
also should be called to the rate
payers attention, that they pay
for the printing and mailing of
the misleading and nonfactual
propaganda which l am talking
about when they pay their power
bills. 1t all becomes a part of
the expense of operation"

Montgomery Leaders

Montgomery County Demo-

Party leaders indicated today
they are mapping plans to in.

Magistrate Clark's name, if IL

which will be complied at meet

associations.
Robert w. Beall. president Of

association will set up machinery
to provide the Governor with q
list of qualified candidates for

In December, the association

the new Circuit Court judgeship
authorized by a Constitutional
amendment in November.
The State Bar Association
added several other names, In

recommending more than one
attorney. but Gov. McKeldin se-
lected Mr.. Anderson. Repuhh-
can. sa
Explain Anderson Backing.
Democratic attorneys, who
| Joined unanimously with Repub-
licans in the choice of Mr.. AN
dersons say they did so with the
impression that Gov. McKeldin
would give the next vacancy to
a Democrat.
If he fails to do so, Democrats
indicated they will oppose Judge
Anderson in 1856, when he must
stand election for a full 15-year
| term.
If. however, Democrat sue
ceeds Judge Woodward, the
Democrats would be content to
let both judges run without OPP
position in 1856.
Further pressure in favor OF
a Democrat appointment could
come from the Montgomery
County delegation to the Gen.
eral Assembly, which is con-
trolled by Democrats.
Northrop Says Little.
State Senator Edward S. Nor
throp conceded he is in a very
strong position to block other
appointments of Republicans.
but declined further comment
on the judgeship situation.
Blair Lee, chairman OF the
House delegation. was adopting
wait and see attitude to-
ward the judgeship.
One Democrat cautioned that
legislative trading will be used
sparingly lest Gov. McKeldin
"horestrade us to his own ad-
vantage"
But the Democrats are bank
ing largely at the moment on
the Governors political instincts.
He's still smarting from be-

Republicans he'd lose the coun-
