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, 0O0,-
900 through use Of this device,
another firm in Texas has acquired
$3.50, O00,O
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 In not
as good as It 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 1t is being ignored.

Sometimes the battle is fought
in Europe. sometimes in the
Middle East, sometimes in Asia,
but always the struggle is basic

To counter communism, the
West uses all the resources at
its disposal = military, economic,
and moral.
In Southeast Asia the gateway

Australia - communism is making
a determined effort to seize pow

States has poured millions of
dollars into Laos. Cambodia,
Thailand, and South Wet Nam

munists in China and North
Wet Nam.
The situation in South Wet Nam

American troops should be sent

then, that this latest expression
of the peoples will at the polls
has failed to give either party
any real basis for overoptimism
on next falls elections, upon
which the base for the 1864 VIC
tory is supposed to be built.
In a sidebar development with
certain political overtoneS, Mr..
Kennedy said on Wednesday he
was delighted to announce" that
Gen. Eisenhower had agreed to
head revamped people-to-people
organization.
Thus, the new President had en-
listed the services of his prede-
cessor for the first time. The an
nouncement came at a time when
there was wide speculation over
a repeatedly growing resentment
on Mr.. Kennedy's part over the
criticism Gen. Eisenhower has
leveled at administration policies
in recent weeks.
The mutual cordiality shown in
Mr.. Kennedy's announcement and
Gen. Eisenhower's acceptance re-
marks could serve to help heal
whatever breach there may be be-
tween the two men.
