DodgersCan
Thank KOufax
For Nj Lead
By the Associated Press

The Los Angeles Dodgers,
struggling off slumpS, are back
on top in the National League
race, thanks to a handy guy
named Sandy Koufax, who has
put away four OF their last
eight victories.
The Dodgers simply have re-
fused to get caught in a serious
slide, losing no more than two
in a row over the last three
weeks while winning .13 Of 20
games in a head-to-head battle
with the Cincinnati Reds for
first place.
After slipping to second with
two straight Setbacks by San
Francisco and Pittsburgh, the
Dodgers have bounced back and
won two in a row, regaining a
half-game lead with a 7-3 vic
tory over the Pirates last night
as Koufax became the first
pitcher to win eight in the N. L.
this season.
Braves Beat Reds
Milwaukee helped the
Dodgers climb back on top BY
beating Cincinnati, 81, and
third-place San Francisco
moved within 11a games of
first place with a 4-3, IL
inning victory over Philadel-
phia. st. Louis defeated the
Chicago Cubs, 8-6, with Stan
Musial going 4-for-4 and belt
ing a pair Of two-run homers.
The Dodgers came from be-
hind with four runs in the
second inning, beating Earl
Francis in his first major
league start on a two-run
homer by John Roseboro and
a clinching two-run double by
Willie DAVIS. They added three
unearned runs in the fifth,
making it easy for Koufax
(8-2).
The young lefty, who won
only eight in each of the past
two seasons, gave up seven hits
and two walks, but struck out
seven for his fifth straight vic
tory, all complete games.
Homers by Roberto Clemente,
in the first inning, and Don
Hoax, with a man on in the
ninth, scored the Bucs' runs.
4-Hitter for Nottebart
The Braves beat the Reds
for only the third time in 10
tries this season behind the
four-hit pitching of righthand-
er Don Nottebart, who squared
his record at 3-3 with his first |
major league complete game. |
The Reds scored in the second
on a walk, Gene Freese's single |
and a passed ball, but the
Braves then scored three in
the third, two on Ed Mathews
double, against rookie Ken
Hunt (5-3).
Musial's home runs, giving
him six for the season, built
the Cards winning cushion in
the third and seventh innings.
Larry Jackson (2-5) was the
winner, but needed relief in the |
eighth after home run by |
George Altman. Maury Nc
Dermott finally saved it, COM
ing on when Ernie Banks hit a
two-run homer off reliever Al
Cicotte in the ninth. Bob An
derson (2-5) was the loser as
the Cards won their third in a
row.
The Giants nailed their
tIllro victory IN 10 games on
two walks and single by Or
lando Cepeda in the 18th off
reliever Chris Short (1-2). Held
to one run and two hits for
seven innings by Art Mahaffey,
San Francisco tied it in the
eighth on consecutive doubles
by Matty Alou. and Harvey
Kuenn, both pinch -hitters, and
Willie Nays Jim buffalo and |
Stu Miller shut out the Phils
on four hits over the last six
innings, with Miller winning
his fifth without defeat.

All was quiet on the Griffith
Stadium front for a few hours
today, as the Senators prepared
to buckle down against new
and more welcome invaders
from the West, the White Sox.
In the wake Of a three-game
battering by the Indians, which
ended with an Ito assault last
night, the Senators are relieved
and happy to open a four-game
series with the Chicago club
tonight.
The fact that the White Sox
are fresh from a day of rest on
top Of two straight triumphs
over the Tigers does not dim
the Senators friendly feelings
toward them.
The White Sox are in eighth
place, three games below the
Senators in the standings, and
an outbreak of measles would
be welcomed by Manager
Mickey Vernon's clobbered
troops in comparison to more
attacks by the Indians.
Drop to Seventh Place
Last nights fiasco, which in
cluded five Washington errors
and five unearned runs, ex-
tended the Senator'S losing
streak to five games and
dropped them to seventh place.
On the wings of Mudcat
Grants six-hit pitching, which
gave him his seventh victory
without defeat, the Indians
scared to a half-game lead over
the idle Tigers.
The unfeeling Cleveland club,
winner of nine straight games
and 81 of its last 25, outscored
the Senators, 1913, in the three
games here.
The Indians embarrassed
Washington pitching for AZ hits
in the series and batted 1858.
The Senators, toastS of the
town a week ago, before first
Kansas City and then Cleve-
land went to work on them, viii
try to regroup tonight behind
Dick Donovan.
Donovan, the hard-luck right
handler who lost his first five
decisions, was the last Wash
ington pitcher to win a game.
He won his first last Friday
against the Athletics and to-
night will be opposed by Cal
McLish (2-5).
Indians Fatten Averages
The Senators have beaten the
White Sox in two of three
games, but that doesn't mean
much. They enjoyed a 3-3
split with the Indians until
this latest. series.
when they're that hot"
Vernon says, "there isn't much
you can do"
To single out individual In
dian tormentors would require
a listing of the roster. But
the chief aggresSors the last
three nights were Jim Piersall,
John Romano, Vic Power and
Johnny Temple.
Piersall raped Washington
pitching at a .538 clip with
seven hits in 13 at-bats, in
cluding three doubles and six
runs batted in. Romano was
a 500 hitter. He swatted two
homers and a double and drove
in six runs. Powers hit 400
with one homer and Temple
was a 1888 hitter.
There were other nuisances
like Willie Kirkland, who got
two hits in four trips, includ-
ing his fourth homer of the
year last night. And there was
Woody Held, who hit his eighth
of the season last night, an
inside -the-park job.
Shattering Experience
The entire experience was
shattering for the Senators and
it was reflected in their play.
Dropped balls, wild throws and
an anemic batting attack all
were included in their per-
formance last night.

Power Association

Among the better kept secrets Oh
the Pacific Northwest are the stats
tics and facts on electric power rates
FACTS ARE HARD TO GET
1t is easy to illustrate the difficulty
one can experience in attempting tc
get facts on electric rates. There Is
the example of an effort which the
Northwest Public Power Association
made in 1859 to obtain copy of the
proposed rate increase of one of the
private electric companies in this
region.
The reply from the state regula-
tory commission stated that the rate
filing amounted to 116 pages and
could be reproduced and made avail
able at a cost of so cents per page,
or for $58.O0-pr presumably plus sales
tax. To this day copy of that rate
filing is not available in the NWPPA
office. Yet that document led to the
granting of rate increase of about
$3,634,000 per year to one private
electric company
Moreover, If the average citizen
were to be successful in obtaining
the entire rate schedule of the typical
private electric company, his troubles
would just be starting. The rate sche-
dulles are SO numerous, complicated
and alternative to other schedules and
subject to modification by means of
contracts and special arrangements,
that even an expert may not be able
to help.
Fortunately. the Federal Power
Commission each year publishes a
report. Typical Electric Bills" Most
of the data for this article is based
on the 1860 edition.
But do not bother to send for
copy. That FPC document for 1860
was out Of print very few weeks
after it was issued. Copies simply
are no longer available. NWPPA has
one rare copy.
The tables and map included with
this article are designed to provide
supporting information for answer
ing the following questions.
Are private electric company
rates within the service area of the
Bonneville Power Administration
lower than the rates of companies
just outside the BPA service area?

Obviously, the national average
price for 500 XVIII would be higher
if the consumer owned systems
were deleted. Realistically, the
comparison should be made be-
tween two national average trends,
that for private companies and that
for consumer owned systems.
AS to specific states, the trend can
be best observed for $50 XVIII for
home use for the period 1885 to
1860, because the historic statewide
averages issued by FPC is available
only for the $50 XVIII level of usage.
In that period Nebraska's average
price came down from 1882 in 1885
to 1928 in 1860. The ranking of
Nebraska among the 48 states, as a

$36 A YEAR CHEAPER
IN BPA AREA

IN BPA AKEA
Generally the breaking point at the
border of the BPA service area is
$500 for 500 XVIII. Within that area
the average appears to be slightly
under $500 while the companies just
outside of the BPA area appear to
average $1,000. Thus the differential
cost to the consumer for 500 XVIII per
month is at least $500 per month
or $4,000 per year.
Are electric rates lower in states
which have more public and CO.
operative power systems?
Yes. Consumer owned electric sys-
TENS influence statewide average
rates in two ways. First, they gen.
orally have lower rates for their own
consumer owners.
Second, they exert a competitive
yardstick or regulatory effect on the
rates of nearby private electric COM
panies.
1t also appears that the lessons of
greater usage and promotional rate
making are factor. Another factor
which has been mentioned is ten
dency of the electric utilities in
competitive area, both private and
consumer owned, to be more competi-
tive with respect to natural gas and
oil and here again the effect is to
bring down the statewide average
price of electricity.
The tables showing consumer owned
systems are dated January 1, 1860,
and do not reflect $1,523,0 900 in rate
reductions made since that date
These systems also made $1O,20O,00O
in rate reductions from 1850 through
1859.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-09-22

Yes. For example, the monthly bill
for 500 XVIII residential use for pri-
vate electric companies in the Pacific
Northwest ranges from $50 at Rem
ton. Wash. to a high of $1,000 in
eastern Montana.

PUBLIC POWER RATES DOWN,
PRIVATE UP, IN DECADE

:"
Within the states of Alaska, Mon
tana. Idaho. Oregon and Washington,
the consumer owned systems had
about 100 rate cuts since 1850 which
will save their consumers about $11.S
million during 1861. During the same
decade. private utility rates were in
creased by about $40 million per
year.
Has the historic trend toward
lower electric rates been more pro-
nounced or accelerated in those
states where new public and CO.
operative systems have been estab-
lished?
Yes. This is illustrated by Tennes-
see, Washington and Nebraska. par
ticularly.
Two points, however, must be made
about the alleged downward direction
of the historic trend.
In the first place, the historic trend
is not downward, but since 1851, has
been upward.
Second. the national average his
toric trend is composite of all rates
of private and consumer owned sys-
TENS. Thus, although consumer owned
systems have made many rate reduc-
tions since 1851, including about 100
rate cuts in the Pacific Northwest
alone, the much greater rate in
creases of the private electric COM
panies has forced the historic trend
upward.
MPCo. RATE TWICE THAT
OF CITY OF SEATTLE
Take the national average price of
500 XVIII per month for home use. In
1885 it was $13-87, dropping sharply
by 1910 to $10.55 and lowering to
$1,000 by 1851. Since then, however,
the price has increased every year
to the January /, 1860, level of
$10.62. The rate for Seattle and
of Northwest consumer
owned systems is only $500, and in
some cases lower. Contrast with

The perennial race between
proponents of the George
Washington Memorial parkway
in Prince Georges County and
subdivision builders draws to
a close this week.
The builders still hold an
edge in the contest, with some
already clearing land within
parkway taking lines and 9TH
ers selling lots for potential
home construction.
Planners, meanwhile, still are
trying to convince Congress of
the need for right-of-way funds
for the seven-mile stretch from
the District line to Fort Wash
ington along the Potomac
River.
The Senate Interior Appro-
priationS Subcommittee will
hold a final budget hearing
tomorrow through Wednesday
prior to submitting a final re-
port to the full committee.
Butler to Urge Funds
Senator Butler, Republican
of Maryland, plans to file a
statement with the committee
urging addition Of parkway
funds to the budget. A similar
letter was filed with the group
last week by Senator Beall,
Republican of Maryland.
AS received from the House,
the proposed Interior budget
included no parkway funds.
The item has been fought by
Representative Kirwan, Demo-
crat Of Ohio. head Of an ap-
preparations subcommittee, and
opponent of Capper-Cramton
parkland funds.
William E. Finley, director of
the National Capital Planning
Commission. said he is still
hopeful" some money will be
forthcoming for right-of-way
purchases.
Meanwhile, subdivision de-
velopers are going ahead with
plans to build on lots lying
within parkway taking lines.
Real estate interests argue
that q wait of more than 80
years for the parkway is long
enough, and that landowners
should not be deprived free
use Of their land on which they
have been paying taxes for
years.
