Further Reductions Make
Total Savings Near
$750,000 to State
Southern Bell Says Action
Amounts to Property
Confiscation
ATLANTA —(AP)— The Pub-
Jic Service commission ordered an
other cut in Georgia’s telephone
Saturday, bringing the total of pro
posed subscribers saving§ to about
750,000 a year, but published re
ports said the orders would he
contested in court
On top’ of Friday night's order
cutting the base rates for ex
change service ,an average of
about 25 per cen\, the commission
Saturday directed thag the mileage
charge against consumers outside
the base rate areasi g ireduced
from 63 to 38 cents pér ‘quarter
mile per month, SAVFILRY
The Journal said the: /Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph, com
panv. which serves most of the
state, would seek a federal court
order quickly to prevent applica
tion of the new schdules.
Nothing Decided
Asked about that report, Barton
Baird, Georgia. manager of South- |
ern Bell, said “nothing hag been
decided yet.” Pending such decis
ion he said he had nothing to say!
about the neéw rates ordered into |
effect December 1.
During the recent protracted
hearings of telephone rates, how
ever, all witnesses who testified on
pehalf of Southern Bell as to the
probable &t!m,gfi\, ;&tfi“Cutfi\ Sald
the company’s revenues were al
ready inadequate and that rate re
duction would serve only to re
duce them further. They contend
ed such reductions would amount
to confiscation of the concern’s
property without due process of
law, in violation of the State and
federal {onstitutions.
Members of the commission and
John T. Goree, assistant attorneyl
general, based many of ‘their ques
tions on the theorysthat rate re
ductions might encourage new
subscriptions’ and 'create enough
business to make up the loss -or
more.
Four purposes of telephone-rate
making certain designated areas,
generally ‘the thickly settled sec
tions of a town or ecity, are set up
as hase rate areas, and all charges
within that area are uniform. It
was subseribers in such areas who
benefited from the general rate re
duction order last night.
Members of the eommission in
dicated Saturday there might be an
additional order on telephone
rates later, but no indication was
given as to its nature.
Study Pewer Rates
Meanwhile the commission made
ready for resumption Monday of
its inquiry into power rates.
Hearings on ‘that question were
recessed early last week to give the
Georgia Power company time to
prepare information requested by
the commission to refleet various

WASHINGTON —(AP)— Prepar

three month's trial operation of

While labor scored tremendous
payroll gains in the steel industry

report saidg, and consumer com

Monday, NRA will try to settle

GUNMAN, DETECTIVE
SHOT TO' DEATH IN
MIAMI HOTEL DUEL
Shoppers Thrown Into
Panic as Bullets Whiz
In Busy Street
BANDIT RECAPTURED
Shooting Follows Arrest
Attempt When Officers
Are Tipped Off
MIAMI, Fla.— (AP) —Firing at
close range, a detective and a gun
man fought a duel to death with
pistols in a downtown hotel here
late Saturday.
Scores of shpopers on busy Flag
ler street, one of the principal
business sections of the city, were
thrown into turmoil as they
scrambled to cover while bullets
whizzed. !
The dead bandit was identified
as Anthony Hanson, 21, alias Ko
metic. His companion, Leo Zalut
sky, also 21 and blind in his left
eye, escaped after being wounded
but later was captured.
Police said both men were
wanted in connection with a bank
robbery at Reading, Pa. and only
Saturday they received instruc
tions to search for the bandits.
R. J. Lester was the detective
who lost his life in the fight, De
tective Roy Hancock, who was
with him, was uninjured.
Tipped that the men planned to
call at a telegraph company oflice
for a message, officers stationed
themselves nearby. Instead of
stopping at the office, however,
the gunmen entered an adjacent
hotel.
Answer With Fire
As the bandits mounted the
stairs, Lester and Hancock reach
ed the hotel door and ordered them
to stop. Wheeling with guns
drawn, the men answered with a
fusillade of shots.
Lester fell mortally wounded.
Hancock plugged Hanson through
the head, killing him, and then
wounded Zalutsky, who fled up the
stairs.
Zalutsky climbed through a
window and managed to reach the
ground before a police cordon sur
rounded the building. He was cap
tured a short time later, however,
on Biscayne boulevard, which
fronts the bay.

that after the shooting, he fled in

NEW ORLEANS.— (AP) —The !
searchlight of senate investigators
will be turned on the financial op
erations of the Huey P. Long po
litical organization next .week
through testimony of New Orleans
bank officials. .
Three cashiers and two bank
liquidators have been summoned
‘to appear Monday before the sen
ate committee investigating the
lelection of Senator Johm H. Qver
ton, who rode intd office onfthe
support of the Long political ma
chine,
So far the committee has been
unable to touch the subject of
Long’s campaign funds except
‘that most of the transactions were
in cash.
~ Two more weeks will be devoted,
to the investigation in Louisiana,
the committee decided Saturday,
one week more for committee tes
timony and the last week for Sen
ator Overton’s rebuttal testimony.
Senator Overton protested that he
was allotted only one week to
counte® four weeks of testimony,
and Mrs. Hilda Phelps Hammond,
chairman of the Women’s Commit
tee of Louisiana, entered a pro
test, saying her commtitee felt
that the senators should remain in
Louisiana until all testimony was
exhausted and that hearings
should be held in other parts of
the state.
Chairman Tom Connally (D.=
: Texas), invited she Honest Elec
tion League and Ex-Senator Ed
win Broussard, who filed the
charges of fraud and corruption
against Senator Overton, to return
to the investigation and submit
witnesses. Senator Broussard and
the League withdrew from the in
vestigation on the grounds that
they had lost faith in the senate
committee and doubted the com
mittee’s sincerity.
Several witnesses were heard
Saturday and they testified to see
