‘THURSDAY, APRIL 7,

WAIT RULING ON "PHONE CO, RATE

. REVISION CASE

.- Will Not Ask Increase in

- Earnings, Bell Corpo- - ration Says.

The Indiana Public Service Commission is expected to make an early ruling on whether the Bell Telephone Co. rate case would be conducted on a state-wide or local ‘basis. : : Utility representatives agreed to withdraw the company's original petition requesting a state-wide in-

vestigation, and to file by Monday -an amended request specifying that

_ the company seeks no increases over +1937 net earnings. T

.. ‘Ten Indiana cities, including Indianapolis, have filed requests asking rate reductions in their localities, and public hearings already have _been started on rates paid by South -Bend-Mishawaka patrons. The

.Commission is expected to rule on,

-the company’s petition before entering a final order governing the two St. Joseph County cities.

Net Increases Not Asked Public Counsellor Ralph Hanna made no objection to cgnducting the hearings on a state-wide basis, but requested that the investigation be conducted with dispatch. _. W. H. Thompson, company counsel, pointed out that the utility in its revised petition would not ask “for any rate increases in any ex“change or for increases which would produce a net earning greater than ‘the 1937 figure. : If the Commission makes de-

‘creases in certain areas which would

reduce the net earning, company representatives said they would ask ~for compensating increases. : . Thirty states how have adopted - the state as the unit for telephone _rate making purposes, representatives said. They also informed the Commission that appraisements of more than half the , company’s property were now avail-

‘ able. A complete evaluation could

be made within a few months, they declared.

"RELIGION CALLED FOE - “OF TOTALITARIANISM

Times Special .. BLOOMINGTON, April 7.—Totalitarianism, whether it be fascism, naziism or communism, waits at the doorstep of every nation that abandons God, the Rev. Fr. John PF. O'Hara, University of Notre Dame ‘president, said in a convocation address at Indiana University. “If we remove from our hierarchy of authority and power the omnipo--tence of God, we inevitably set up the omnipotence of the state,” Father O'Hara said. “Individual license, individual ruthles8ness, is brought out by the denial of the supernatural. When the Ten Com‘mandments are abrogated, the state sets up its own commandments, -either by majority vote, which often means the will of an organized “minority, or by the decree of a dic‘tator. When the appeal to conscience ceases, the state moves in with repression.”
