Fights Raise
For SuppIier

The Washington Gas Light
Co. today expressed its opposi-
ton before a Federal Power
Commission hearing examiner
to a proposed change in rates
Of its gas Supplier on the
grounds that it would increase
the rates of residential and
commercial customers in the
greater Washington area.
The proposed rates of the
supplier, Atlantic Seaboard
Corp, would impose on these
customers increased costs Of
Apr o ximately 100000 an
nually, with ever increasing
costs" in the future, Reuben
Goldberg, an attorney repre-
senting VIGIL, said.
The proposed Seaboard rate
structure would not mean an
immediate increase in Wash
ington area rates because the
Power Commission has already
decided that VIGIL and ten
other companies buying from
Seaboard have a refund and
reduced rates coming to them.
According to a VIGIL official,
the refund which the company
receives and must pass along to
its customers will be smaller by
half a million dollars if the
Seaboard proposal is adopted.
Although the FPC has de-
cided the overall level Of reve-
nues which Seaboard is entitled
to, it has not decided that rate
structure to be allowed. Sea-
board wants to charge more of
its fixed costs to those rates
which apply to residential and
commercitl customers, shifting
them from industrial customers.
Counsel for Seaboard, C. E.
Goodwin, said at the hearing
today that there is much loose
talk" that his client wants to
make industrial sales at lower
costs and at the expense of
space heating customers. The
latter primarily are residential
and commercial users.

BUT BY The TIME the
bills real meaning became
clear, a total of II amend
ments had been offered to the
original document, creating
confusion and bringing us,
in this treatise, to the I'D
amendment, the last to be
offered.
It was thought up, the
author admits, about tbs
pm. Thursday and offered
shortly thereafter.
Representative Griffin,
Republican of Michig a n,
young and bright, asked the
House to consider this pro-
poSal:
Not withstanding any
other provision of the law,
the total number of en-
ployes in the Department of
Agriculture shall at no time
exceed the number of farm
ers in America"
The amendment, whic h.
seems sensible enough, car
ried by a loud voice vote and
then, mysteriously, lost by
a head count of III to $50.
Lost was a chance to legiS-
late a little balance into the
farm problem. Lost as wen
was the farm bill.
The next morning, Mr..
Griffin (worried that some
body might have taken his
a m en- d m e mt Serlously)
scratched around and came
up with the followin g
figures.
In 1861, about 100000
people left the 81 million
farms of America. Over the
same period, 4,646 new people
arrived at Agriculture. The
number of employees at
Agriculture shows a total OF
95,497 - minus those who
have left recently under a
cloud.
The figures, offered in
support of the amendment,
bring us right back to where
we started: How are you
going to keep them down on
the farm?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-25

StatisticianS can show that
the percentage of farmers
leaving farms compares with
the percentage of new en-
ployes at the Department of
Agriculture.
OF course a study is indi-
Gated. If it can be shown
that the people leaving
farms are the very same
people going to work for the
Department of Agriculture,
it could mean that in a
number OF years there
wouldn't be any reason for
the Department.
But in any analysis of why
the bill was defeated - at
least, in any analysis of
this kind - it should also
be emphasized that there
may have been another rea-
son, besides the fleeing
farmer problem for blowing
under the legislation.

The

Looks Into

By JOHN McKELWAY

"Holo you gonna keep 'em
dotDn on the farm
after They're seen D. CO."
This disturbing trend,
noted in song above, is at
least one reason why the
farm bill, defeated in the
House Thursday, is stored
now with a number of other
farm bills in an old storage
elevator built many years
ago for useless, unwanted
legislation.
For the awful fact is that,
with some statistics, some

the bill, Representative
Chef, Democrat of Ken
lucky, asked Representative
Poage, Democrat of Texas,
what effect the farm bill
would have on the pocket
book of the housewife.
The number of voting
housewives has steadily in.
creased over the years and
Mr.. Poage answered in his
matchlesS voice:
81 think that this legisla-
ton will have about the
same effect that legislation
of his type always has, and
that is to stabilize prices and
to keep them as near where
they are as we can expect.
If we, on the other hand,
allow unlimited production,
obvis3asly va are going to
have great fluctuation in
prices. Those things always
hurt the housewife; they
never help the housewife,
because the housewife never
gains when the farm price
goes down, as we have seen
with our experience in
wheat. When wheat sold for
So a buShel, bread sold for
IL and IL cents a loaf. When
wheat sold at $1.18 a bushel,
bread sold for "a cents a loaf.
So, we can anticipate with
stabilized prices the house
wife will not be faced with
additional charges that she
would have been faced with
if we do not pass the bill"

Just why President Kennedy has
to continue to stir up racial prob
lens of appointment when the
wise heads would prefer to drop
such questionable tactics is de-
batable on both sides of the col
ored line. However. it may have
its virtues, and may, we hope,
drown the new department by a
majority vote that will tie the can
to another of the inept Kennedy
cure-alls for a failing economy.
This new department must not
be put into being unless our Con-
gress has gone completely out of
mind and has surrendered to the

sentiment by a voice vote of the
Incorporated towns. All were in
favor of both the district and the
coming agencies for the county.
An interested group from Bloom

press itself either way since the
members were residents of an UNI

All members of the panel agreed
to return when called upon to aid
in activating the county agencies.
The sanitary district set-up in
cludes water and garbage disposal
as well as sewerage systems. Crea-
ton of a sanitary commission, it
was explained, would give incor-
porated communities two methods
of financing sanitation facilities
where before they had only one,
and would give unincorporated
towns a means where none existed
before.
One of the advantages cited was
the possibility of an orderly plan

Postal Increases

Postal increases have been a
favorite pastime of senators, CON
gressmen and presidents through
recent years. If the Federal Gov
eminent overspends in any depart
ment, raise postal rates If some
politician figures his chances for
reelection are bad out there in his
native State of New Mexico or S.
Dakota or Texas or Connecticut or
somewhere, then he manages to
finesse an appropriation or sub
sidy for his home state folks. Don't
worry about the cost, or the budg-
ct. Raise the postal rates.
Their argument is that the
Postal Department should pay its
way. 1t is a business, a monopoly
business, and should be a profit
able business. We agree with that
argument If there is a deficit
every year, something is wrong,
and that wrong should be cor
rected.
But you can't correct business
inefficiencies or weaknesses just
by raising prices every year. Some
times you kill the goose that has
been laying the golden eggs by
indiscriminately raising prices.
And that is just what they have
been doing with postal rates.
We believe that the Postal De-
partment could show a business
profit if they would stop the leaks.
One of these leaks is air-mail par
eel post which definitely loses
money. But the big leak, the great
big leak that costs the Postal boys
millions and millions every year
is the Junk mail" Their bulk fills
up the mail cars, the post offices,
the post office boxes. and causes

lions of pounds of the junk that
nobody wants, nor cares to read.
Millions of pounds destined for
the waste baskets all over the ma
ton, and carried by the US. mails
at a small fraction of the actual
mail cost.
Let's see what they have done
with some rates in the past 80
years. First class mail rates have
increased SO percent. The contem-
plated increase in second-class
rates would amount to more than
a 1000 increase for many news
papers. A weekly or small daily
paper carrying $50 of advertising
in an issue, will, under the new
plan, pay the exact increased
postage per copy as would Life
Magazine or McCalls, etc, which
carry one or two million dollars of
advertising in a single issue.

Bid For Socialism

The latest gimmick from the
White House in its approach to
federal socialism is the establish

called the Department of Urban

to throttle and control city support

fellow travelers-those who love

and naturally the Socialists that
now line both entrances to the
White House, front door and back.
1t may be some comfort to dis
cover that many congressman are
not going to buy this Kennedy
dose of socialism even if threat
