Urged to Plan Ahead

For q lifetime membership
fee ranging from 81 70 IS,
these societies teach their mem-
bers some Of the basic facts
about the cost Of dying and
encourage them to plan ahead.
Forms in which members exc
press their wishes FOR dispose
ton of their bodies are kept on
file in the society offices.
The societies have also con-
tacted local undertakes ana
can tell their members what
services are available and how
much they cost. They provide
information on how q body
may be left for medical re-
search or how provision may
be made for immediate crema-
ton. with o memorial service
to be held later. Many society
members choose immediate
cremation. an uncommon prac-
tice In this area.

mortal societies has sent q col

areas Of the country have they

to have what the funeral d.
rectors refer to as a decent"
funeral for $3.50, although it
seems likely that the bargain
given to society members must
be compensated for by getting
more from other families.
But none Of the societies In
this area Is yet large enough To
begin negotiations Of this kind.

Would Restrain
FPC's Move To
Regulate REAs

| WASHINGTON, d. C.-(NRECA)
Senator Hubert Humphrey (Minn.) }
has introduced legislation in the Sem
ate "to make clear what clearly is
the law now--that REA co-opera-
tives are not subject to Federal Pow
er Commission jurisdiction"
The FPC issued an order July %
against Dairyland Power Co-opera-
tive, La Crosse, Wis, Minnkota Power
Cooperative, Grand Forks, N. D.,
and South Central Rural Electric
Cooperative, Lancaster, Ohio, to show
cause why they should not comply
with the Commissions regulations on
rate schedule filings, accounting, and
reporting.
"This formal FPC proceeding i'm
poses upon the co-operatives great
and unnecessary costly burden of
establishing by protracted hearings
and litigation what is already clear
that they are not subject to FPC reg
ulation," Humphrey declared.
He said the FPC apparently dis
regarded" the admonition by several
members of the Congress that efforts
to exercise jurisdiction over the rural
electric co-ops should be undertaken
only after Congress has been given
an opportunity to consider the matter
through hearings on proposed legisla-
ton.
s'For the FPC to interpret its sta
tute to confer jurisdiction over CO.
operatives" Humphrey said, "would
be to disregard not only the express
language of the Federal Power Act,
it's legislative history, the admins
trative practice of prior Commissions
and the logical bases for commission
jurisdiction generally, but also the
overwhelming weight of authority in
the state courts which have faced this
question in connection with state
commission statutes"
The bill is co-sponsored by Sena-
tors Milton R. Young (N.D), Gay
lord Nelson wis.,, and George Nc
Govern (S.D.), Maurine Neuberger
Ore.) and Eugene Mccarthy (Minn.)
By his remarks Senator Jennings
Randolph (W.Va.) associated himself
with the bill.
