A Aim that fully and sus-
pensefully meets these specifi-
cations is Back to the WALL

Dupont. In its starkly suitable
black and white photography

infidelity with a contagious and
clinical zest that is irresistible.
AS mysteries go, this one also
is not to be revealed in detail.
Nevertheless, it is tactful to
point out that the most inter-

triangle is the husband.
Among offended parties in
the literature of adultery, he

with a standard sense of what

idea of how this is to be brought
about. The picture opens with

shows the marital intruder be-
ing shot, rolled up in a rug, and
neatly buried in the reinforced
concrete wall of a new factory
building.

From this point, inevitably,
It goes into the details lead
ing up to the execution. In
general terms, these have to do
with not merely establishing
the guilt of the wife and other

On this score, the offended
husband is a most icily original
thinker and an altogether sue
ceSSful one in making his VIC
tins suffer the torture of a
relationship that started with
such casual enthusiasm.

FPC Says City Electric Rates
Are Up, And Still Climbing

WASHINGTON, D. C.-RED-
Federal Power Commission has re-
leased the 1860 edition of TYPICAL
ELECTRIC BILLS, which states that
the upward spiral of average resi-
Dental electric bills, which began in
1851, has not stopped.
On January 1, 1859, the average
bill for $50 kilowatt hours per month
was $7.36. This represents an in
crease of six cents from the level
of the previous year. The nations
average use per consumer in 1949
was approximately $50 XVIII monthly.
The report emphasizes that no at
tempt was made by FPC to determine
the "reasonableness" of the typical
bills listed "since many factors oper-
ate to produce differences in unit
costs" and to explain these would be
beyond the scope of the booklet.
The 1859 report, which is avail
able from the Superintendent of Doc
uments at the U. S. Government

ing private lands; just lot of people
don't think the schools should sub

should be less of a spread between
what is paid for private land and
what is being paid the state.
The State Senate has long been
considered a rather exclusive branch
of the Stockmen's Club, so let's just
consider for moment this statement
that Cannon "single handedly' killed
off any chane of getting an increase.
In the first place it was Demo-
cratically-controlled Senate tn t

back to the House. 1t was the Demo-
cratic leadership (not the Lieutenant
Governor) which appointed the COM
mittee that cut the House bill for
75c back to Soc . it was a Demo-
cratically-controlled Senate that al
lowed it to stay at soc.
If the House Majority Leader wants
to get House bills through the SEN

By the time a bill reaches confer

hoped for is a compromise.

After Mr.. Vallejo's arrest the
