BY the Associated Press

Some big city Mayors have
asked President Eisenhower to
reappoint William r. Connole
to the Federal Power Commits
sion. They said Mr.. Connole is
the only commissioner looking
out for consumers of natural
gas.
The United States Mayors
Committee on Natural Gas

There have been unconfirmed
reports that the President does

Mayor Richardson Dilworth
of Philadelphia, secretary of
the group, said Mr.. Connole

what he called a do-nothing
pattern of the other four COM
missioners. Natural gas prices,
he said, have risen almost
seven times as fast as the
average commodity in the past
six years. The FPC regulates
gas prices to consumers.
Mr.. Dilworth protested any
move to drop Mr.. Connole

natural gas is consumed"
Mr.. Connole. 81, who comes
from Connecticut, was named

Agency Supports
Bill to Establish
u. S. Milk Code
By the Associated Pres,

The Department of Health,
Education and Welfare today
supported a bill which would
permit the sale anywhere in
the country of milk moved in
interstate commerce if it met
high Federal standards.
DR.. David E. Price, assistant
surgeon general. told a House
Commerce subcommittee that
milk regulations of States and
local areas are frequently used
to prevent movement Of milk
of high sanitary quality.
The bill, sponsored by 20
House members and four Sena-
tors. would set up a milk sani-
tation code. Milk meeting this
code could not be kept out of
interstate trade because of
varying health rules.
Mr.. Price said the depart
ment in 1858 opposed a some
what similar measure. He said
that bill was far-reaching and
it was feared it would set UP
an overriding system of Fed
eral regulation. He said the
present bill has been changed
to meet objections.
Mr.. Price said the new
measure would provide an ef-
fective means of eliminating
barriers to interstate shipment
of milk resulting from unduly
restrictive sanitary regulations.

Optional Health Plan
Given Some Chance

toward getting even the Is
committee Democrats to agree
on an alternative to the Forand
bill. some Democratic members
said they believe the discussion
today went far to set the
groundwork for a possible COM
promise.
1t seems certain, they said,
that the age at which persons
could receive hospital insurance
benefits will have to be con-
siderably higher than 65. as
provided in the Forand plan.
Such insurance benefits,
moreover, would be only for
hospital care instead of for
hospital, nursing home and
surgical services as specified in
the Forand bill.
Practically all of the COM
mittee session today dealt with
this new proposal, with several
suggested variations. The plan
would be administered within
the social security system and
be financed either by an in
crease in social security taxes
on employees and employers or
by applying present rates to the
first $4,000 Of employees earn
ings, instead Of $4,000, as at
present.
