TREATY MONDAY.

Charter Will Be Signed by

Nearly 200 Delegates.

By R. H. SHACKFORD United Press Staft Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.—The 50 United Nations today completed

an ambitious world charter for

liance into a permanent organization to prevent future wars. The new 10,000-word charter will be adopted formally by the United Nations conference Monday and dispatched immediately to capitals throughout the world for ratification. . The nearly 200 delegates will sign the historic document on Tuesday a few hours before President Truman gives it his- blessings and declares this conference adjourned. Security for All The ‘tedious nine-week job here represents the efforts of the peaceloving nations—for the second time in a generation—to force a cooperative peace organization out of a war-time coalition. Their primary objective is to maintain peace and security for all. Twenty-five years ago at Versailles the world's statesmen created the League of Nations with the ohjective of outlawing war, It failed because of its inability to enforce its aims. This time the world organization will ‘be equipped with “teeth” to meet force with force, if necessary to preserve the péace. Up to: Big Five But the ability to use those “teeth” will depend upon the Big Five—and primarily their ability to hang together in peace as in war and to act together in the interest of world peace. ,

Public - Service Also

In keeping with a suggestion made by the securities and exchange commission in 1941, the Public Service Co. of Indiana, Inc., today revealed a plan to organize its gas and water properties into a holding company separate from the electric utility. The firm is not, at present; under an SEC order to so separate the utilities, however. The new com{pany would be entirely owned by | Public Service. “This step would make Public Service a strictly electric company,” President Robert A. Gallagher said. “Its electric revenues now exceed 86 per cent of the total revenue.”

Will Refund Stocks Bonds

The decision was made because the electric and gas utilities are! competitive, separated ‘to develop each to the fullest advantage, “Mr. Gallagher explained. “Gas and water utilities have much in common ‘and they should be operated ‘toghther,” he said. Under the program, the company plans to refund its present $59,314,500 first mortgage bonds and its $14,818,590 of preferred stock, besides prepaying $7,750,000 of serial notes. It would do this refinancing chiefly by means of a new $§48,000,000 mortgage bond issue, the issuance of $13,000,000 in new notes, and the sale of $15,000,000 of new preferred stock. This move, Mr. Gallagher explained, would save Public Service about $495,000 a year in interest

‘charges, on present security rates,

and pefore payment of federal income taxes. With operating costs and taxes continuing to increase, he said, it is important to take advantage of prevailing lower interest and dividend rates. Serves 325,000 The company serves 325,000 customers in 70 Indiana counties. It provides electric service for 622 state

' | municipalities, gas service for 42,

and water service for 19.

state public service yesterday. It must also be approved by the securities and exchange commission and, in part, by company stockholders.

holes, the Better Business bureau warned today. Complaints of misleading information on the price of covering

lawns and aggressive collection methods have been growing, the bureau said. The peddlers contact house-| holders, offering to covér the lawn | with top soil and humus, and in-| dicating that the charge is per basket and relatively small. When the job is completed, the bill is| many times the expected cost, bu- | reau officials said. | The bureau said one woman had| her lawn covered, believing the] service would cost about $5. The final bill was $64. Further activities of the peddlers, | who usually operate from trucks, should be reported to the Better Busniess bureau.
