FOUR THE EVENING NEWS, HARRISBURG, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1942 PUC Rejects Plan For Phone Firm Serving County The Public Utility Commission has refused to allow incorporation of the Pennsylvania Community Telephone Company and has denied it the right to render telephone service in Chester, Dauphin, Lancaster, Monroe, Northampton and Schuylkill counties. The company is being formed by consolidation of the Blue Mountain Telephone Company, operating in Monroe and Northampton counties, Southern Telephone and Telegraph Company, operating in Lancaster and Chester counties, and Wiconisco Telephone and Telegraph Company, operating in Dauphin and Schuylkill counties. Each is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inland Telephone Company, of Wilmington, Del. The commission held that the proposed consolidation, "even under fair and reasonable financial conditions," would not be advantageous to the public, and added that there is no apparent community of interest which warrants pooling the three territories for regulatory purposes. The only apparent benefit, the commission said, would accrue to Inland Telephone Company, which would be enabled to pass on to the public in a taxfree "reorganization," too large a non-voting share of present equity investment in the three companies.

After completion of its organization, the Pennsylvania Community Telephone Company would have been authorized to increase its capital stock from $10,000 to $750,000, the latter amount composed of $500,000 par value of 8 per cent. non-cumulative, non-voting preferred stock and $250,000 of common. stock. All the preferred and $200,000 worth of the common stock would be sold to Inland in payment for all outstanding stock of the three companies being reorganized. The commission criticized issuance of the 8 per cent.

preferred stock with the comment that it would leave the door "wide open" for manipulative practices by common stock holders and added that 8 per cent. is "much too high dividend rate in view of the present low cost of money."

Seen As German Goal sixty miles south of Voronezh, the enemy pushed forty miles farther south to Kantemirovka, using numerically-superior forces to at'empt a drive toward the middle Don where it bends eastward. A savage battle was reported in progress with the Russians fighting under unfavorable conditions with their backs toward the Don. Southeast of Kharkov, the mans pushed 160 miles from Kharkov to Lisichansk, on the railroad to Rostov and only forty miles from Voroshilovgrad, where yesterday they launched a strong offensive on a direct line toward which lies east of the Don bend on the Volga. (This drive presumably was intended to clear all of the sector west of the Don and permit a flanking drive on Rostov, the gateway to the Caucasus.) (German communiques said that Rostov had been heavily bombed and that the entire Kursk-Kharkov-Don River area to a point 217 miles south of Voronezh had been cleared of all important Russian forces, with 89,000 taken prisoner.) Main Aim of Enemy The main aim of the enemy offensive southeastward appeared to be to move against the north flank of the Russian defense lines around Rostov and to advance through the Rossosh sector, south of the Don River bend, in an effort to isolate the Caucasus.

But the most intense fighting for the time being was on the Don River, near Voronezh, where the Germans moved up reinforcements in an effort to take that city. (The Germans claim they have held Voronezh since last Tuesday.) Dispatches from the front said that the Germans had moved up the 100th German infantry division from Kursk in an effort to smash into Voronezh but that a new German bridge head had been wiped out and that the bulk of the enemy forces still was held west of the Don. The situation remained very grave for the Russians, however. The Germans made some break throughs on the Kalinin front, driving wedges into the Russian lines but these were reported held by Russian flanking attacks, which were "methodically wiping out isolated enemy tank and infantry units," press reports said. Initiative Changes Hands The battle front, over which larger air battles were being fought with the Russians holding the edge, was described as surging back and forth, with the inlitiative frequently changing hands.

The Communist party organ, Pravda, reported that 100 German tanks and an infantry division (15,000 men) had crossed the river Don opposite Voronezh and established a battle front. They were in the outskirts of Voronezh, a city of 212,000 people and another point on the MoscowRostov railway, but, constantly hammered by Soviet tanks and artillery were unable to be reinforced from their main bases on 1 the west bank. Desperate attempts to establish another bridgehead failed. The defenders repulsed a series of fierce assaults, both on east and west banks of the Don, inflicting heavy losses on the Germans, but they hurried up reinforcements and increased their pressure. Prelude to Grand Offensive "Last night our forces fought the enemy west of Voronezh and in the directions of Kantemirovka and Lisichansk," the Soviet noon communique today said.

"On other sectors there were no important changes." An Izvestia dispatch said the situation west of Voronezh was extremely grave but that the bulk of the German forces still was on the west bank although hammering day and night in an effort to smash across for a general assault on the city. German forces also have tried to break through north of the city and isolate Soviet forces, but all attacks have been repulsed, the dispatch said. Continuous Bombing The Luftwaffe yesterday began making mass raids on a city identified as and destroyed the central residential districts. They also are continually bombing other inhabited points, railway stations and highway's, Izvestia's correspondent said. The latest German drive was in the vicinity of Lisichansk, thirtysix miles southeast of Izyum on the Kharkov front, and it might be the prelude to a German grand offensive on the oil-rich Caucasus.

It is 120 miles northwest of Rostov, Russia's big port and manufacturing center at the mouth of the Don. The Germans cut the MoscowRostov railway when they occupied Rossosh, 110 miles south of Voronezh, restricting communica-ing tions between the capital and the Caucasus to several poor, roundabout routes. Last midnight's Soviet communique announced that Rossosh had been evacuated. Heavy fighting also had broken out at Kantemirovka, thirty-nine miles southeast of Rossosh. A dispatch to the Soviet army From Page One organ Red Star reported that "exceptionally fierce was raging on three sectors the Kalinin front, northwest of Moscow.

The Germans an important road and avaseized, lanche" of tanks, motorized infantry and armored cars into the Russians' depth defenses. On other sectors, the Russians wrested several villages from the Germans. (Radio Moscow was heard in London broadcasting that Soviet forces had counter-attacked on a sector of the Kalinin front and checked the Germans. (But on a second it said, fighting had been raging for three days and Soviet forces were liquidating a fairly heavy enemy tank column which had wedged into their defenses. (In the last three days, one Russian aircraft unit was credited with destroying 123 German tanks and sixty-five planes.

(Radio Berlin said that the German air force heavily bombed Rostov last night.) As regards the drive on Voronezh, German Ewald von Kleist apparently was trying to make up for lost time and break through regardless of what it cost. Henderson Plea Is Made Public From Page One and warned that the time has come to call a halt on the increase in cost of living. "I think the Government is getting ready for modification of the Price Control Act," said Senator Joseph O'Mahoney, Democrat, Wyoming. "I believe that the people are ready to make sacrifices as to wages, profits or in any other manner if sacrifices are made equal and the Government appeals to all." Other members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which questioned Henderson at length, agreed with O'Mahoney that the Government will be forced to take action to maintain price ceilings. Asked the effect of pending demands for wage increases, Henderson said: "The important thing is this, every increase in wages that is being urged, in 'Little the aircraft and shipbuilding industries is urged on the basis that there is an increase in the cost of living.

"The time has come to call a halt to argument and I want to call a halt to it. If it is based on cost of living, we can prevent the cost of living going up, and we can prevent the pyramiding and spiraling of prices." Asked by Senator Thomas, Democrat, Oklahoma, how prices can be controlled without controlling wages, Henderson replied: "I do not believe that prices can be stabilized at this level, unless wages are controlled and unless a number of other things are done. A tremendous increase in the diversion of purchasing power, either by way of taxes taken currently, or by a tremendous increase in the savings program and also by the wise use of subsidies. I believe however, that what you can do is prevent prices from getting into an inflationary spiral." Questioned on Farm Prices Asked whether, to control prices, he needed first an enforcement fund or power to control wages, Henderson replied: "I can't see a priority in them." He said that if wages go up 10 per cent, there will be an added $3,500,000,000 to $4,000,000,000 in purchasing power pressing against his ceiling prices. "I have suggested ogeneral wage increase, but changes to meet inequities or sub-standard wages," he said.

"Farm bloc" Senators pressed Henderson to say whether farm commodities prices are too high. He said wheat is not too high, that he has no complaint if farmers get parity prices for cotton, and that corn prices are not too high in terms of demand-supply. Truck Burned; Struck Culvert From Page One the face, arms and legs. His dition today was "fair." Duncannon firemen were summoned while a passing motorist, M. Nelson Gilman, Liverpool, took the injured man to the hospital.

Arthur C. Coleman, riding with Gilman, raid they were returning from work when the reached the truck, enveloped in flames. Occupants of another truck had assisted Hoover from his truck, Coleman said. On the way to the hospital, Hoover told Coleman he was drivnorthward about when he suddenly felt at his feet. He said he did not know what happened after that.

Firemen believe the truck's gasoline tank may have exploded after it was punctured by a bump in the highway. Traffic was delayed for about twenty minutes until the wrecked car could be moved. Constable Killed By Hit-Run Car In Cumberland NEWBURG, July C. Rhoads, 42, Newburg constable, was killed instantly early this morning when struck by a hitrun motorist about three and onehalf miles north of Shippensburg.

The body was found by Mike Glova and Frank: Rolish, both of Conemaugh, workers at the Franklin County Ordnance Depot. Coroner E. A. Haegele said the victim had suffered a crushed skull, crushed chest, internal injuries and fractures of both legs. He estimated the body had been thrown about fifty feet by the impact.

The body had been lying along the road for about two hours before it was found, the coroner said. Identification was made by neighbors through clothing and cards. The only apparent clue to the car which struck Rhoads was a bit of metal, which may have been broken from a license plate holder. Rhoads is survived by his widow and three daughters, The body was released to the M. Garfield Barbour funeral home, ShipI pensburg.

J. C. Philips, an Six More Fliers Win Decorations UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA, July more American flying officers have received silver star decorations for gallantry in action, it was announced today by Lieut. -Gen. George H.

Brett, commander-in-chief of Allied Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific. Those cited by General Brett were: Capt. Guilford Montgomery, of Fort Collins, First Lieut. Donald Green, of Oakland, First Lieuts. Frank Adkins, of Clarksville, and Eugene Wahl, Indianapolis; Second Lieut.

Thomas J. Lynch, of Catasauqua, Brig.Gen. A. L. Sneed, of Maxwell Field, Alabama.

Captain Montgomery's citation was "for devotion to duty and courage which merit approbation and are in the best traditions of the United States air forces." He piloted a Flying Fortress in bombing attacks on Japanese transports in Lingayen Gulf and at Aparri, in the Philippines, when the enemy was landing troops for the double drive on Manila. Lieutenant Green was one of four American pursuit pilots who attacked an overwhelmingly superior force of eighteen Japanese bombers escorted by nine zero fighters. He fought off four zeros but his plane was heavily damaged. Nevertheless he dove through the clouds and attacked zeros shooting down one and setting the other afire. Then he bailed out and made a safe landing.

His citation said: "The courage, determination and devotion to duty shown are in keeping with the finest traditions of the service and worthy of its highest standards." Lieutenants Adkins, and Lynch threw their three pursuit planes against a formation of sixteen Zeros over New Guinea on May 26. Despite the heavy odds against them they a dove head-on into the enemy flight, shot down one plane and forced the rest to turn tail before reaching their target. "The courage and fearlessness shown in attacking a superior enemy force when their own formation was at a disadvantage are qualities to be admired in airmen and are worthy the finest service traditions," their citations declared. 10 P.

of Stops To Be Dropped From Page One estimate of the saving can be made until after the plan is in operation. It was believed that a further reduction in stops will be necessary later. Harrisburg is one of ninety-five cities in the United States to be included in the "skip stop" plan for buses. Staggered working hours have inan appreciable spread of peak loads of local transportation companies in morning hours, but several heavy peaks still exist between the hours of 5 and 6.15 p. the Harrisburg Area War Transportation Committee was told yesterday by representatives of the bus companies.

A complete analysis of the evening crowds is yet to be made, it was brought out at the meeting, but it was indicated the crowds are made up of shoppers and others whose business brings them into town at various periods during the day. No steps to ease the rush will be taken until more definite information is obtained. Several groups presented requests tor exemption from the staggered hour order at the committee meeting, but it was announced that no change will be made until the plan has had a reasonable period in which to get into operation. The committee, it was announced, plans to begin an exhaustive study of manufacturing, industrial and mili-, tary establishments employing large numbers of persons to determine what changes may be made to benefit the whole operation of staggered hours. SCHOOL BALANCE $6721 The Middle Paxton Township school district closed the year with a balance of $6721:62, the auditor's report, filed at the Dauphin County Courthouse, showed today.

Rationing Board Quits in Disgust By United Press PHILADELPHIA, July Board No. 31 quit in disgust today as motorists jammed gasoline-registration headquarters--and more than 75 per cent. of them insisted that hey needed supplemental allotments. County Ration Board Chairman Robert W.
