The Commission recently turned down a request of these companies that it order the utility to grant them the same rates as are charged industrial users. In the petition for a rehearing, the business firms, which include several downtown hotels and restaurants, pointed out that the “undisputed testimony was that customers such as these petitioners would pay annually under the present rate structure as much as $161,627 more for electrical energy” than would industrial firms consuming the same amount of electricity.

Claim Order Violated

The companies contended further that the Commission should have granted them the right to introduce in evidence “the fact that this utility has been violating the order of this Commission for several years past by charging rates far in excess of what this Commission has heretofore determined this utility was entitled to charge. “Such evidence would furthermore disclose that the utility has collected from its customers, including these petitioners, for the year 1940 almost one and one half million dollars in excess of what the Commission said they could rightfully charge.” The firms said the Commission erred in not letting them introduce this as evidence in the original hearing. “The commission should have taken cognizance eof such fact as a matter of judicial knowledge irrespective of the evidence,” the petition stated. Indianapolis Power & Light Co. ‘officials said they had not had the opportunity yet to read the petition and Herelore could make no commen

CHICAGO, Sept. 10 (U. P).— Feminine beauty styles, sensitive to the defense emergency, are shifting toward simplicity because women went to appear “calm and elegant, not cute and sophisticated.” The trend in heauty techniques was described to the American Cosmeticians’ Association by Frank Baird, Hollywood beauty authority and hair stylist, who said the beautiful women of 1942 will be “natural and plain.” . They will be distinguished by smartly tailored clothes, plain, nat-ural-line eyebrows, a short hair bob and a feather-edge neckline, and a “soft” make-up and manicure appearing more suitable for work, said. As Hollywood pacesetters in the beauty trend, Mr. Baird listed Greta Garbo for her short bob; Mary Astor for hair style and eyebrows, Mary Pickford for make-up and Janet Gaynor for dress. “The state of the world is bringing women to their senses about appearance,” he said: “They want -to appear calm and elegant, not cute and sophisticated.” He emphasized four S’s in his formula, for beauty: Short, smart, simple and serious. “The hair-do will be smart and elegant,” he said. “The hair will be short in back, swirled in front and on top, and simple.

• In the Telephone Company there is no sub-

stitute for experience. From the day that young

men and women begin a telephone career. they acquire knowledge and skill on the job under the watchful eyes of the "oldtimers.” Some 1350

Indiana Bell employees have been engaged in

telephone work over 15 years.

NAZIS DELAYING FINNISH PEAGE

Fate of Leningrad Is Stumbling Block in Negotiations.

Copyright, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. SOMEWHERE IN PE, Sept. 10.—The fate of besie Leningrad is the stumbling .block .in secret negotiations between Russia and Finland, according to an account current both here and among responsible” diplomatic. circles in Vichy. Russia, these accounts say, is insisting that ‘any separate ‘ peace must be concluded before Leningrad falls, thus at least relieving the pressure from ' the north. Should Leningrad: fall, the Russians insist, there can be no such agreement. The Nazis are said to be equally insistent that the Finnish soldiers continue their fight until the former Czarist capital is overcome, cutting off the Russians ‘from the Baltic and also from the long railroad running north to the Soviets’ year-round port -of Murmansk. As their principal argument, the Nazis threaten to bar food imports into Finland where the question of supplies is already critical, these accounts say. Finnish representatives here today. said that they were without information about any negotiations. So far their only communication has been limited to the denial issued by the Finnish foreign office on Aug. 30 that President Roosevelt! had been asked to mediate or that nversations had oc-|

FRENCH STILL DEFY GERMANS

Executions and Brutal * Penalties of Nazis.

By DAVID M. NICHOL CoP2 Ei int Uhh Daly Ro. me” ‘BERN, Sept. 10—The sternest measures of the military and civil courts and the summary execution of hostages by the German occupational ‘forces so far seem to have left ‘little dent in France's growing undergrotind opposition. ~¥t" is- & movement that acquires savagery as it progresses. It began with guarded pamphleteering and scribbling on walls and has advanced in the last few weeks through stages of arson and sabotage to assaults on pro-German collaborationists Pierre Laval and Editor Marcel Deat, the assassination of a former deputy, the killing lof at least two German officials in {Paris and the wounding of two others. The Vichy government and the | German authorities in the occupied zone have moved just as sayagely to suppress it. _The Germans said they would shoot 10 hostages for each murdered German soldier.

3 Killed for Attack

A few days later pamphlets appeared in Paris, according to reports reaching here, saying that 10 Germans would be killed for every hostage who was executed. = Three hostages were shot on Saturday as reprisal for an attack on a German ‘sergeant earlier. Loosely all the opposition is classified as “Communist” but persons familiar with the situation say that the Communist Party group, while active, is but a small portion. A glance at the severe judgments handed down by the special courts. supports this. : It was announced Monday, for example, that Marin Poirrier,r condemned in Nantes on Aug. 31, had been shot for assisting French war prisoners to escape to Free French leader Gen. Charles de Gaulle. A French senator, Leon Perrier, was interned last week in Vals les Bains for sending information: to the Free French.

Death Sentences Frequent

Death sentences are frequent particularly in Paris—possession of an illegal printing press was one of the charges—and prison terms of life, or 20 years at hard labor, are not uncommon. ‘A special section of the military court at Lyon in a single day sentenced two. persons to 10 years, five to five, two to four and one to three and confiscated their property. In Vichy a woman teacher from Paris was sentenced to 10 years. Two other women drew twoyear terms simply for writing on walls. . New reports from France today related the sentencing of five railroad employees from Arles to terms of five to 20 years, similar judg-
