Is Cut by Board
At Hearing Today
ATLANTA, - Ga~(AP)—Reduc
tion of- extra ' charge for French
type telephones in Georgia to a
flat 15 cents from the general
charge of 50 ‘cents, was ordered
Thursday by the .State Public
Service commission.
The order is effective October
29.
Announcement of the order was
made during the hearing Thurs
day on rates and service of the
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele
graph company, which has been
continuing for sometime on the
commission’s order to show cause
why rates should not, be reduced.
It is made general throughout

It was the first telephone order
issued by the commission since it
took office in July after Governor
Talmadge had removed the old
commission on the grounds of in
competence, and neglect of duty.

Definite action is to be taken by

according to an announcement’
sent the local Chamber of C()m-?
merce by Recovery Administrator
Hugh 8. Johnson. ‘
“As a result of complaints l»y1
retailers that manufacturers ()f?
specialized products ;in which (‘um-f
petition is limited have boosted
prices out of all proportion to in
creased costs under their codes, -
public hearings are to- be ordered
at once,” General Johnson an
nounced. 1
The heéarings will be conducted
by Deputy Administrator A B
Whiteside, who is now preparing
notices requiring a number of
manufacturers to publicly justify
!their price advances.
! Among the retailers’ - complaints
is the charge that certain manu
facturers, in anticipation of the
approval of permanent codes, built
up huge stocks of merchandise
which ,they are now forcing on
| the retailers at exorbitapt prices
iwith the explanation that in
| creased costs under the code are
| responsible.
{ In a specific case, Jolinson's an

" serted that one manufacturer in

Possibility of dangerous winds
to the lower east coast of Florida
was removed Thursday as the
tropical disturbance which threat

with its outer winds.
Heavy rains fell along the lower

measure.
Three small freak storms, ap

hurt and three houses damaged at
Miami: one injured and three
buildings unroofed at Hollywood,

{ Storm warnings, however, were
ordered up some distance on both

“The printing of money, avow

No matter how good Roberts is,
he’ll have to be at his best to get

asked to name his probable start

“I'll name Batchelor for the reg

little to be explained as to the sta
