El Paso ran into a glut of buying orders when the Supreme Court upheld the Federal Power commission's established practice of letting gas pipelines put higher rates into effect subject to refund while the increase is investigated. Trading was suspended in the stock and it reopened on a block of 50,000 shares at 371. up 4 points. This brought attention to the util ity group which moved high er and all but crossed the high since 1930. The market generally was irregular.

If you know anybody and who doesn't? who answers this description, tell him the story of the cherubic 9- year-old lad who used a dreadful word at the dinner table. Ma immediately bawled out Pa for exerting a terrible influence on the boy. Pa assumed a martyred expression and demanded of the boy, "Did you ever hear me use that word in this house?" "No, Papa," answered the boy. "You save it till you're driving the car." "Comes December," sighs Jack Benny's Rochester, "and 1 can always tell the exact moment Mr. Winter knocks on the door: The janitor finally turns off the steam heat!"

Battle Sha Powers of By Congressional Quarterly Washington -(CQ)- Liberal Democrats are mobilizing for a war against the rules com mittee of the House of Rep resentatives. They hope to get much help from the Democrats elected to the house for the first time Nov. 4. They can already count on several key Demo cratic mayors who want fed eral help for their ailing cities. The rules committee is the most powerful committee in the house. It decides if bills shall be allowed to go to the house floor for a vote. It can shelve bills regardless of the support for them outside the rules committee. "Young Turks" among the House Democrats are out to curb this power of the rules committee. They, along with hundreds of mayors, are still smarting from the drubbing the rules committee gave them in the 85th Congress. The liveral Representatives and Democratic mayors blame the rules committee for the death of such bills as ones to broaden federal housing pro grams and to provide cities with more money to build sewage plants. Election a 'Mandate' They .contend the Nov. 4 election was a mandate to get these and other things done. So they want the rules com mittee downgraded to the point where it cannot be a roadblock. These wing - clipping changes are under discussion: Reinstating and liberalizing the 21-day rule so that bills which have been before the rules committee for 21 days can be brought up on the floor for consideration; re ducing from 218 to 150 the number of signatures needed on a petition to force a bill out of the rules committee; letting a majority of the house decide whether a bill passed by both the house and senate shall go to conference to iron out differences As it is now, one objection to a house mo tion to send a bill to confer ence puts the measure back MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore, MWy.

Quiet War So far, the mobilization of liberal forces has been very quiet. The house Democrats want to fill their ranks as much as possible before mak ing any public statements. And the mayors are afraid any word from them will be resented. The mayors, who often appear before Congres sional committees to press for legislation they want, do not want to appear as if they are trying to tell Congress how to run its business. A lot of the preparation for the rules committee battle is being done by Democratic Reps. Lee Metcalf (Mont.), Henry S. Reuss (Wis.), George M. Rhodes (Pa.) and Frank Thompson Jr. (N.J.). They have been keeping in touch partly thorugh the Washing-ton-based American Munici pal association. The AMA blames many of its legisaltive setbacks on the rules com mittees. Publicly, big-city Demo cratic mayors like Richardson Dilworth of Philadelphia and Anthony J. Celebrezze of Cleveland will not comment on the anti-rules committee alliance They will only say it is "unfortunate", that the rules committee has the power to thwart the majority will. Freshmen Hold Key The house Democrats head ing the drive have a big sell ing job on their hands. They must convince freshment Rep resentatives that they have more to fear from the rules committee, with its power to kill liberal legislation, than from Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Texas). Naturally, the liberal Democrats do not want a knock-down fight with Ray burn. They hope instead to be able to tell him that a ma jority of the Democratic party in the house wants some changes made in the rules committee. And the deeper their ranks when they knock on Mr. Sam's door, the more concessions they are liable to get. Rayburn is said to be will ing to change the make-up of the rules committee from 8 Democrats and 4 Republicans to 9 Democrats and 3 Repub licans. This would make it possible to dilute the power of rules committee Chairman Howard W. Smith (D-Va.) and his conservative allies. , The liberals hope to get more than such a realignment. If they do, Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa.) may be proved right about the chances for getting federal programs for cities through Congress. Clark told the American Municipal association convention in Bos ton: "We have the best op portunity in the 86th Con gress of getting the show on the road that we have had in my lifetime as a politician." Showdown Jan. 7 The winner of this rules committee battle will prob ably show after the dust settles from the morning caucus of house Democrats Jan 7. If Rayburn at that time fills the three vacancies on the house ways and means committee with 1 i b e r a Is, chances are the Young Turks have won out. Ways and means is the body that hands out committee assignments. The final test of strength will come when the house convenes at noon on Jan. 7. At that time a motion will be in order to change the rules of the house concerning the rules committee. - - (Copyrighted 1958. Congressional Quarterly Inc.) MARIN2 ARTIST DIES Mount Vernon, N.
