WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. Father
Coughlln has penetrated the robust
hides of the house democratic lead
era. His radio attack on them for
fgrw- -kt- bottling up the
Inflation bill haa
stirred them
more personally,
than anything
this session.
They will prob
ably not give him
the satisfaction
of knowing It,
but they have
decided their
prestige la 9 1
stake. They are
turning the Issue'
PAUL MALLON
into a teat of personal loyalty among
their followers.
One Influential house authority,
named "pat". Is making the defeat of
the bill his life work.
The result Is that the three billion
dollar Inflation bill, which might have
passed the house under ordinary cir
cumstances, now appears to be slip
ping. The personality element has off
set the effective lobbying of Cough
Hn's man, Louts Ward. At least the
leaders can show you on paper that
they can lick the bill even If a tote
la forced. Therefore, they may have
a vote.
Heaviest of the polltlcos here have
been tipped to keep Uielr eyc on the
McMullen court martial. Threats are
being ma4e that certain very promi
nent people may be drawn Into It,
particularly one witness whose name
will not be on the witness lift at the
outset. -
Col. McMullen Is being tried under
the 86th article of war on charges or
accepting; tees from a purchaser of
war department surplus goods. His
defense may hinge on the contention
that he was a babe In arms compared
with some people.
Such advance notices do not always
pan out In Washington, but this one
has sroused expectant Interest.
The difficult WPA wage situation
has been causing plenty of Inner
trouble. It started long before Con
gressman Marcantonlo tried to emu

or a toga, before that New Tork relief

ELECTRICITY USE

Dr. George Allison, known aa the
"Billy Sunday of the Electrical In

Electrical Institute of New York,
entertained the members of the
Rotary club today with an addresa
upon the part electricity plays In
the home. A number of guests, in
cluding officials of the California.
Oregon Power company, gathered at
the Hotel Medford with the Rotat
iana -to hear..Rr,. .Allison' .,enlight;
ening talk.
4,The electrical Industry Is a young
and technical one," Allison told hla
audience. "There la a psychological
problem Involved," he said, "a the
wide-spread assumption that elec
trical service la too expensive la due
to a lack of understanding of the
industry." Unlike other commodities,
electricity la Intangible, the speaker
pointed out. It la a commodity that
requires no personal responsibility.
Allison explained the differential
between production and consump
tion cost of electricity In comparing
such commodities as foods, clothing
and shoes. The finished product as
It enters the home, costs many times
the original raw materials due to
the many phases of producing the
completed commodity, he pointed
out. A definite need for public
understanding of the electrical in
dustry through a program of drama
tization waa suggested by the speaker.
H. D. Kem, assistant salts man

the California Oregon Power com
pany, introduced Dr. Allison at the

held a secret conference with him
several months ao on the whole ques

man said. He declined to say what
they hsd discussed, but out of that

then added: "Yea, t probably would.
But I heard the other day that Con
