No public announcement was made of this reason for cutting the rates, Fink said. FINK MADE his disclosure under cross-examination by Corporation Counsel W. E.

Dowling, of Detroit, in the hearing before the Federal Power Commission. The rate schedule since 1941 had required the company to deliver gas between 1,009 and 1,019 British Thermal Units per 1,000 cubic feet, and the new schedule specified delivery be IE WASHINGTO (AP) President Truman announced that Federal spending for civilian public works this fiscal year will exceed the $900,000,000 limit he set last August by Mr. Truman's statement also said that no further military spending cutbacks "are under consideration at this time." The President said that further study of the public-works program by Reconversion Director John R. Steelman and Budget Director James E. Webb caused the change.

THE SURVEY, he said, "has indicated the necessity for increasing the expenditure limitation for the War Department Corps of Engineers from $95,000,000 to with an additional limited provision for new projects approved (by Steelman), and for th? Department of Interior reclamation program from $85,000,000 to $110,000,000."

O. "Mr.

Truman said that thes hikes, together with an increase cf $13,000,000 for the Tennessee Valley Authority and $5,000,000 for the Agriculture Department, "are the only increases in the expenditure limitation on Federal construction projects which have been authorized to date." He added that "were it not for tween 997 and 1,007 BTU's. Fink said the company now is delivering gas averaging 1,002 BTU's. He said he would not accept as correct tests by the Detroit Building and Safety Department showing the current heat content to average 975 BTU's. THE TESTIMONY pointed up the two issues that caused Michigan Consolidated and its supplier, the Panhandle Eastern Pipeline to disagree. One was the demand "of the gas-distributing company for gas to store underground in the summer and sell for house heating and other seasonal uses in the winter.

The other was the demand of the pipeline company for a share of the Detroit Industrial market if it did supply more gas. Fink reiterated his previous statement that his company is through trying to get additional gas from Panhandle and is pinning WASHINGTON (JP) Presi increases in programs over which I have no authority to place limitations, a saving of $630,000,000 would be made good."

In a statement expressing admiration for the "courage and determination" of the Estonians, whose country had been taken over by Russia, Mr. Truman said: "This is the type of pioneering spirit that built this nation." HE DIRECTED the State Department to "explore all avenues toward enabling this group to remain here."
