Council Urges
School Group

The Citizens Advisory Coun-
ell today urged the Commits
sioners to name a 20-member
committee to back up school
recommendations of the District
Committee on the White House
Conference on Education.
On another issue the council
urged the city heads to oppose
Ia Labor Department bill which
would make the Districts min
imum-wage law apply to men as
we'll as women and children.
The council acted on the pro-
posed education committee after
hearing School Superintendent
Hobart M. Corning urge that it
be made up of carefully selected
members who would not attempt
to take over functions of the
Board of Education which is
now the final authority" on Dis
Itrict school matters.
Representative Group
On the motion of j. C. Turner,
the council recommended that
the committee be made up of 20
members. including representa-
tives of parents, teachers, bust
nessmen, labor and the general
community. DR.. Corning had
urged that the group be pre-
dominantly a committee of
laymen.
The council also urged the
Commissioners to cooperate
with the Greater Washington
Educational Television Associa-
ton, Inc, to establish an educa-
tional television station here by
next fall.
The vote on the proposed
change in the minimum wage law
was split 6 to /. 1t came in exec
utive session after Mr.. Turner.
an official Of the Central Labor
Union. had blasted proposals
that the Labor Department rec
ommendation be opposed by the
Commissioners.
Says Women Are Fired
He charged that when wage
rates are increased for women
workers, some employers fire the
women and hire men at the
same rate of pay. He contended
this has virtually eliminated
women from employment as
drive-in restaurant car hops and
as theater ushers in the District.
The proposal to apply the min
imum wage law for men had
been opposed in a report by the
District Management Office and
was called unnecessary and I'M
desirable by representatives of
the Board of Trade and the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association
William H. Press, executive vice
president of the Board of Trade,
warned the change would add a

Gas Dividends
30O6,
Say
Monroney Answers
Statement by Head
OF D. c. Concern
BY DON S. WARREN

High profits allegedly made by
the Washington Gas Light Co..
since it converted to full natural
gas beginning in 1916 were cited
yesterday by Senators interested
in freeing natural gas from Fed
eral controls.
Senator Monroney Of Okla
homa and Senator Fulbright Of
Arkansas, both Democrats, the
latter author of the national bill,
took the floor Of the Senate late
yesterday to denounce the
Washington gas company. SEN
ator Fulbright later issued the
substance of his criticisms as a
statement.
Senator Monroney, who comes
from one of the oil and gas pro-
|ducing States, answered a state
ment by Everett J. Boothby
president of the gas company,
as to why he had Joined a group
opposing exemption of gas pro-
Iducers from Federal regulation.
Senator Monroney said there
has been a 300 per cent increase
in dividends of the gas company
since 1t converted to full natural
gas in 1916.
HeseltOn Offers Bill
Meanwhile, the controversy
took a new turn when Repre-
sentative Heselton. Republican OF
Massachusetts,. offered a bill in
the House to require all sellers
lof gasoline and other oil prod
Iucts to tell their consumers how
much of the dollar cost goes to
the producer, the middleman and
Others engaged in the sale.

lei of Texas. Anderson of New
Mexico and Fulbright of Arkan-
sas. all Democrats, to require
the Washington gas company to
print on its monthly bills a
breakdown of where its money
goes. The bill has been referred
to the District Committee.
Mr.. Heselton. in introducing
his bill. told his colleagues: over
the week end. the natural gas
industry seems to have perfected
its latest weapon In its drive to
free itself from Federal regula-
ton.
Its attack on the Washington
Gas Light Co. is transparent.
The fact that the local company
has joined many other distribut-
ing companies in opposing pass
age of the Harris-Fulbright bill
must be very disturbing.

he declared. -
Price Changes Specified
He brought out that the bill
provides that the Federal Power
Commission may determine the
reasonable market price" of nat
.ural gas. Opponents claim that
this would not result in effective
control.
In denouncing the producing
industry for price adjustments
which occurred in the past few
years, the Senator added Mr..
Boothby and others completely
avoid the fact that these price
changes were specified and
spelled out in writing in con-
tracts between the pipeline COM
panies and the producers.

IN THE FACE of the juve-
nile invasion, Mr.. Appleby was
far calmer than the man sell
ing librettos in the outer
lobby.
Hey, out there! How about
a little ouiet?" he shouted,
plaintively, at a group waiting
for tickets.
After that, it was the ticket
takers problem, and they
surged toward him, chattering
anew.
Look at that rush to be
first" Scott Kirkpatrick, man
ager of the National, said.
And each ticket has a seat
number, too"
A woman came up.
"Their first D'Oyly Carte"
she cooed. Isn't 1t wonder
ful?"
The youngsters chartered
their way up the long stairs
to the second balcony, and
jostled into the seats.
There's Nom down therel"
one voice raised above the
others, and a boy leaned over
the balcony rail. Hey,
Mom!"
"Is it too late to get a drink
of water?" another trebled.
"Shhhhh!" shushed an
usher, to latecomers hammer
ing up to the balcony.
But the moment the cur
tain went up, they were a
rapt, edge-of-the-seat au-
dience-the kind playwrights
and managers dream about.

The vote in the recent Munich pal elections can be interpreted as meaning the people of Kodiak gen erally favor the Sales Tax. The four candidates who took a defi- mite stand in favor of it prior to the election received the highest votes.

 There were quite a few wasted vote in the election Writeip can didates who received one or two votes included Johnny Morrison, Ardis Fenner, Bryan Thorsheim, Mary Serum, Ole Olson, Bob Ache son, Fred Brechen, Ray Shannon, George Cornelius, Bob Johnson, Tim Gilmore, Stan Nelson, Jack Hinckel, Jim Brightman and liar old Jonas. Ed Parker received four votes. Some of these names were entered as a joke--a joke that could easily have backfired in strictly write-in election such as this. Fortunately, most voters take their ballot marking serious ly.
 What do the people of Kodiak think of the Sales Tax now that it actually in force? It seems they are taking it in their stride, and are contributing the necessary pennies without protest. The mer- chants, too, are finding it quite simple to collect, although the big gest trouble is the nuisance of sep arating, where there is a fast turn over. The larger stores, to1, have the angle of purchase for out of town delivery, which, of course, is exempt A little more time is re- quired to get some of the bugs out of the tax structure as now out lined.
 
 Jack Hinckel of the Union Oil Sales ran into few snags on the first day of operation of the Sales Tax. He appeared before the City Council, who concurred in an interpretation of the Ordinance that airlines fuel delivered on the Base would not be taxable. Nor would gasoline sold for resale, as in case mentioned at Middle Bay. Tax on heating fuel, however, was taxable, even though delivered to the same place,
