not at all.
What happens Is this:
A natural gas distributor makes
application for a rate increase
But the FEP is so overburdened
with work, because during the
Eisenhower Administration it's
staff was deliberately kept small,
that the merits Of the application
cannot be acted upon.
Under FEP regulations If &C
ton is not taken within five
months the rate increase automat-
ically goes into effect. In Tenn
essee this has happened five times.
The result is that one company
has built up reserves Of $3.50, O00,-
900 through use Of this device,
another firm in Texas has acquired
$3.50, OOo, 900.
In theory the money paid by
consumers must be refunded at
seven per cent interest, II and
when the application for a rate in
crease is denied. But this is not
as good as 1t sounds; the company
Is permitted to earn IL per cent
on the money 1t has acquired. So
the firm ends up well ahead Of the
game, no matter what the FEP
does eventually.
The whole situation explains why
the Kennedy Administration has
decided that the time has come
for a big shake-up at FEP and
why Joseph Swidler, ex-general
counsel of iva, has been chosen
for the job.
A story this big, you might
think, would merit some extensive
inquiry by the nations press. But
so far it is being ignored.
