A legislative committee has
rejected proposals for major
changes in the law governing
the operation Of the Patuxent

facility for the handling OF
emotionally or mentally defec-

Headed by Senator Harry r.
Hughes, Democrat of Caroline.
the committee emphatically
turned down suggestions that
the indeterminate sentence Tor
such criminals be limited.
This Is a provision which re-
quires that defective delin-
quents remain in custody for
life unless a review board finds
they have responded to treat
ment to curb their emotional

Hughes Group Opposes
Changes for Potuxent

The Hughes committee also
turned down recommendations
that Patuxent be relieved Of
its semi-independent status
and be placed within the juris-
diction of the Department Of
Correction.
The department "is not yet
oriented to the full acceptance
of this new concept Of correc-
tion," said the committee.
The Hughes group recon-
mended that the Patuxent law
be changed to allow the trans

Il would like to see the fuel
companies get a little competi-
tion." testified Braxton H.
Coiner, Timberville Mayor.
Fuel Cost Stressed
Kenneth L. Frantz, superin-
tendent for the Harrisonburg
Electric Commission, testified
that the cost Of fuel has in
creased to the point that it is
not economical to operate the
plant (the city's generating
plant) on fuel oil; it is cheaper
to buy power"
Mr.. Frantz said the power
plant is now on a standby
basis. He said the engines are
run occasionally to keep them
from deteriorating, and that a
man has to be hired full time
just to take care Of the idle
plant. He testified the city
would save $4,000 to $4,000
a year by converting the plant
to gas.
The Jebbers, represented by
Washington Attorney Bryce
Rea, jr., also claim that the
experience of the Shenandoah
Gas Co. in the Winchester
Frederick County area indi-
Gates that the Blue Ridge pro-
poSal is not feasible. The
Shenandoah Co. recently sold
out to Washington Gas Light
Co. after losing money for sew
eral years.
Howell Purdue, Federal Power
Commission hearing examiner,
has recommended that the
commission grant Blue Ridge
authorization to tap the At
lantic Seaboard Line.
Petroleum Jobbers has. asked
the commission to overrule the
examiner or reopen the case
for further testimony. Since
the hearing. Atlantic Seaboard
Corp. has filed for a rate in
crease which the Jobbers say
will have a bearing on the A.
nancial feasibility of the Blue
Ridge proposal.

Lines also are in the ground
to 4S2 homes in Harrisonburg
which were diverted from the
underground system to bottled
gas by the former owners Of
Blue Ridge.
The propane air system would
be converted to natural gas
under Blue Ridge plans.
The Blue Ridge firm pro-
poses to install an 18-mile
main to connect with the At
lantic Seaboard Corporations
interstate gas line near New
Market farther north in the
Shenandoah Valley. 1t also
would install an 11-mile line
from Harrisonburg to connect
with the city's power plant at
Montivideo. Total cost of the
system is estimated at
$1,578.420.
Along the line, the firm would
service residential and in
dustrial customers. The biggest
users outside of Harrisonburg
would be industrial firms in
the Broadway and Timberville
areas.
The Virginia Petroleum job
bers Association. a trade asso-
citation of wholesale and re-
tail sellers of fuel oil and gaso-
line, claims that the fuel needs
in Rockingham County have
been met adequately and eco
nomically for years by other
fuels.
In a hearing before a Fed
eral Power Commission ex-
aminer. the jobbers claimed
fuel dealers have approximately
a million dollar investment in
their businesses in the county.
They claim there is no public
need for a natural gas system
and that the Blue Ridge pro-
posal is not economically
feasible.
Mayors Of Harrisonburg,
Broadway and Timberville testi-
field there is a need for natural
gas service. The three commu-
mites have given Blue Ridge
30-year franchises to serve
their areas.

Under the financing plan for
construction Of the toll facili-
ties, all tolls from the bridge,
the harbor tunnel and the Sus-
quehanna Bridge at Havre de

at Morgantown go into one
fund. The receipts are used to
retire bonds covering all four
facilities, and for this reason
any change Of tolls for one Of
them is closely examined to
make certain it does not upset
the overall financing plan.
Residents of Maryland's tide
water counties, especially those
in Suthern Maryland and on

lower Bay Bridge tolls. They
contend the present rates are

with the Accent tunnel toll and
are especially discouraging to

By PAUL HOPE
Star stan Writer


A tug-of-war between fuel oil
and natural gas interests is
going on in Virginia's Rocking
ham County in the Shenandoah
Valley.
Fuel oil dealers have waged
an S-months-long fight to keep
a gas line from being run into
the county, one Of the biggest
poultry producing areas in the
country.
Blue Ridge Gas Co., bought
about two years ago by two
Washington lawyers, is at
tempting to set up natural
gas system. Fighting it is the
Virginia Protroleum Jobbers
Association.
Donald E. Van Knoughnet,
one of the owners who also is
attorney for the firm, said he
plans to file a complaint with
the Department of Justices
antitrust division accusing oil
interests of trying to maintain
q monopoly in the county.
Power Plant Idle
One of the biggest customers
for the gas company would be
the 81 million Harrisonburg
municipal power plant which
has been idle for more than two
years because, city officials
maintaining. it is too expensive
to run on fuel oil. The city is
buying its power from the
VIRGINIA Electric & Power Co.
The battle between Blue
Ridge and Petroleum Jobbers
has proceeded through the
State Corporation Commission
and is now before the Federal
Power Commission.
Mr.. Van Knoughnet said he
and H. Douglas Weaver, law
partners in the firm of Weaver
and Van Knoughnet, bought
the Blue Ridge Gas Co. "for
the purpose of bringing natural
gas to Rockingham County"
Blue Ridge now operates a
''propane air" system in the
town Of Harrisonburg, which
provides manufactured gas to
408 residential customers by
means of underground pipes. 1t
is the Oldest gas utility in Vir-
ginia, having been chartered in
1853 as the Winchester Gas Co.

Opposition Sees New York Governor
Convention Winner Over Nixon

Polls which purport to show
that State and local Republic
can Party officials overwhelm-
ingly believe that the Repub-
lican presidential nomina-
ton will go to Vice Presi-
dent Nixon are being met
with mass disbelief on the
part of their Democratic
counterparts. Democrats, al
most to a man, are saying
that in the end the Repub-
lican nominee will be Gov.
Rockefeller.
This accounts for the curl
Gus suspension of commit
ment which features the cur
rent race among the Demo-
cratic aspirants. Few people,
especially those who expect to
have weight in determining
the eventual outcome Of the
Democratic convention, are
willing at present to take an
open stand for any Of the
hopefuls.
It is little noted that all Of
the more or less open Demo-
cratic candidates. were con-
ceived before last years cleo
ton. It seemed then that Mr..
Nixon was almost certain to
be the Republican contender.
And with rising Democratic
strength, it was believed that
almost any Democrat could
beat him.
Rightly or wrongly, the
Democrats reasoned that
since the Republican party is
normally In Q minority
