country this fall.

“it's a case of heads he wins, tails they lose.” Even some Republicans grudg-

“seems to have us over a barrel.” “If we do as he asks.” said one, “he'll claim all the credit in the election campaign, and if we don’t, he'll attempt to throw the blame on us for blocking his efforts. The fate of Mr. Truman's legislative program for the special session appeared to rest with four congressional committees. These are the House and Senate Banking Committees and the House and Senate Labor Committees. They will handle rhost of the bills which the President has put on his “must” list, and they have the power to kill the measure without sending them to the floor for debate. Fear New OPA Facing the banking committees, headed by Sen. Charles W, Tobey (R. N. H.) and Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott (R. Mich.) are proposals to halt. rising prices and relieve the housing shortage. Both committees balked at all price legislation in the session which ended a month ago. Republican leaders charged that Mr. Truman's anti-inflation program meant a new OPA and government control of business. It appeared unlikely that they would change their stand during the special session. The labor committees, headed by Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. 0:) and Rep. Fred A. Hartley Jr. (R. N. J.) will be the first ones to consider the President's renewed health program, federal aid to education, and a higher minimum wage.

(Continued From Page One) they could meet demand here, Citizens directors were able to justify their monopoly. They were running the utility for the city. They couldn't allow competition to threaten their ability to pay off the regyenue bonds. For ten years, they held the fort against the pipelines. Then the post-war demand for gas mushroomed in town. While natural gas appears to be unlimited, the supplies of artificial gas are definitely limited by pro-| ductive capacity. §

to pour out more and more gas by operating water gas sets. These were expensive. At the same time, Paw materials like coal and oil began going up. They quickly doubled. Labor costs doubled. " The utility was on the spot. And that is when the pipeline companies tried once more to move into town. : Citizens Gas was confronted by two choices: Expand gas production or open the dykes to natural gas.

- Hiked Demands Here]

Expansion fo production required .equipment so expensive the utility couldn't justify it. The alternative was natural gas. At that time, the Panhandle & Eastern Pipeline Co., whose transcontinental line passes through. Zionsville,” appeared on the scene with a proposition, Receives No Response Panhandle offered natural gas to Citizens on an Interruptible basis. That is, it would feed 8 to 10 million cubic feet a day |into Indianapolis until the tem- | perature dropped to 20 degrees. | Then it would shut off the supply to meet extra heavy demands elsewhere. Manager Thomas Kemp said the utility couldn't agree to interruptible service. While negotiations were in progress, Manager Kemp said he heard reports Pan-

to sell to industry here directly. There are no reasons, according to Mr. Kemp, why the Panhandle negotiations collapsed. In 1947, Citizens advertised for bids on natural gas for mixing purposes. It received no response. The pipeline companies within reach couldn't meet the demand of their customers, Maybe they weren't interested in selling gas through a distributor like Citizens unless they could break the monopoly. ’ Asks FPC for Aid Citizens went to the Federal Power Commission in 1947 and said it wanted a share of any additional gas the pipeline companies would pump from Texas as they increased pipeline capacity. This move had no immediate results. It laid the foundation, however, for the utility's next move which was made Monday. On Monday, Citizens asked the Federal Power Commission to order one of four pipeline companies to sell it 10 million cubic feet of natural gas a day for mixing starting Nov, 1.

(Continued From Page One) of the siege on the German capital will be brought to the public. 8 Following are the answers of the 15 persons, polled at random in downtown Indianapolis, on the question of Hitler's fate:

NOEL R. GWINN, 4421 E. Washington St, diamond salesman for Rogers and Company, Jewelers: “It's my opinion that he committed suicide because I don’t think his temperament would permit him to tolerate capture or punishment. Heavy bombing and the fast approach of the Russians would have made it too difficult for him to escape.”

EDWARD FRISH, 3452 Bancroft St., metallurgist for the

Bridgeport Brass Co.: “The ultimate canclusion of all of the experts leads me to think that Hitler is dead. I should

think we would have heard | news of him before now if he.

was alive.”

MRS. JENNIE O'REAR, 3818 Central Ave, bank teller for the Fletcher Trust Co.: “I've always felt that Hitler was too

handle wanted to bypass Citizens|” much of a coward to face de-

feat, Consequently, I think he committed suicide.”

MARJORIE MILLER, 3951 N. Illinois St, an assistant bookkeeper_for the Indianapolis Theater Association and But ler University student: “I think he still might be alive. It is just like Amelia Earhart or Glenn Miller. No proof has ever been found that they are dead,” lo

RICHARD M. MUELLER, 6142 Compton Drive, assistant manager of the Prudential Insurance Co. of America agency: “The fact that Eva Braun's body was found with what was supposed to be the remains of Hitler gives me reason to believe he is dead. I think he was killed. He didn’t have the courage to take his own life.”

PAUL SCHNEIDER, 933 Lesley Ave. Marion County Probate Court clerk: “I believe he is alive. In the first place, where is the corpus delicti? And second, I think he was too smart to get trapped or kill himself. I'll bet he’s being protected by the Rusians in Germany right now.”

FRANCIS BIEMER, 115 8. Bolton Ave., traffic officer for the Indianapolis Police Department: “I've always taken it pretty much for granted that reports of Hitler's death are true.”

MAURINE DENNEY, 2441 N. Illinois St., employee in the tube department of the RCA Vietor Division of the Radio Corp. of America: ‘Hitler is alive and a prisoner of the Russians if you ask me. I shouldn't be surprised if he were a slave in Siberia.”

JULIAN D. PACE, 5421 Primrose Ave. deputy prosecutor: “I'm not completely satisfied that Hitler is dead. It wouldn't surprise me a lot if he owed up very much alive somewhere.”

MARY DARNELL, 4215 Boulevard Pl, musician and salesgirl at the Wm. H. Block Co.: “I think he's alive and probably hiding out in South America. Anyone in his position would have had his escape planned well in advance. I'll bet he left Germany six months before the end of the war.”

F. R. SETT, 1405 N. Pennsylvania 8t., manager of the Circle Motor Inn: “Hitler is dead. If he weren't, some secret service

have found him by now, I think he committed suicide.”

LOUIS G. SPEROPOULOS, 4066 N. Capitol Ave. operator of the Lemcke Service Shop: “I'll bet he is alive and in Spain because he always was a close friend of Franco. Nobody saw him die, did they?

ANN JOHNSON, 1 W. 28th St, nurse: “I think Hitler is dead. And if he isn't he'll be found eventually. Whatever the case he is dead internationally, He will never stage a comeback.

HELEN V. GRISWELL, 921 N. Highland Ave, secretary at Schwitzer-Cummins Co.: “He's

posibility he were alive, he would have been found by now.” RAYMOND FRY, 4117 Col{lege Ave, salesman for Weather-Seal Distributors, Inec.: “Well, if they didn't get him when they said they did, he has worried himself to death since.”
