Captain Moredcai Meyers, Com-

the War of 1812, and later, when
trouble with Mexico was brewing,

Between 150,000 and 200,000

That more than 17,500 Jews

While refusing to endorse the
Michigan Consolidated Gas Com-
pany's request for federal permis-
sion to construct its own $84,000,-
000 natural gas pipe line to Mich-
igan, the City of Detroit never-
theless has won the first skirmish
in its battle for an enlarged nat-
ural gas supply.
Many thousands of families, now
denied gas for house heating dur-
ing the coming winter, learned
with satisfaction this week that
before the snow flies again, an
additional 2,500.000 cubic feet of
natural gas daily should be avail-
able at Detroit, above the 125,-
900,000 feet under present con-
tract.
The City's triumph lies in the
recent decision of Federal Power
Commission -- n o t hitherto an-
nounced by this newspaper --
which authorized the Panhandle
Eastern Pipe Line Company to
expand deliveries to all customers
on its system by 10 million feet
this year. Panhandle hopes to he
able to add, next year, 80 million
more feet to its system deliveries
each day.
During hearings before the
Commission at Washington, Assts.
Cant Corporation Counsel James
H. Lee stated that "the City of
Detroit is in favor of this appli-
cation to get additional gas to the
City."
"This 10 million cubic feet —we
hope to get all the 10 million,"
he told the Commission. "If we
can't, we would like to get the
major part of It.
"And we hope we can get the
balance of SO million. If we can't

"We are in favor of any propo.

possible. And we add our blessing
to their application and hope it

In opposition to the Panhandle
program is a project being spon-
sored by Michigan Consolidated
to build its own pipe line and
thereby establish a complete mo-
nopoly at Detroit, since it would
discontinue the Panhandle East.
ern supply. The City of Detroit
has categorically refused to
"bless" its plan.
In an interview published by the
Detroit Times, Mr. Lee, the City's
rate authority, has asserted that
"Michigan Consolidated wants a
pipe line and it wants to create
a shortage so that the federal
tower commission will grant it
permission to build it."
Detroit families who are barred
from house heating service by the
Michigan Consolidated are now
asking why the additional 2,500,-
000 cubic feet per day, to be pro-
vided by Panhandle Eastern be-
fore winter, should not be set
aside for them, since it would
permit approximately 1,500 more
homes to receive gas heat. Michi-
gan Consolidated, at the time of
curtailment and before the recent
increase, advertised that It could
meet the requirements of all
house heating customers accepted
prior to the shut-down.
Michigan Consolidated has made
no formal announcement that it
will either accept the additional
gas, exceeding its present con-
tracted purchases, or that house
heating applicants would receive
the gas.
Panhandle Eastern's program.
now federally approved in Its ini-
tial aspect, can assure to Detroit
ample natural gas for many fu.
tore years, just as it already in-
cludes supplying the area border-
ing on Detroit for a long period.
It is the answer to the public of-
ficials' plea "to get more natural
gas to the City of Detroit as
quickly as possible." In contrast,
Mr. Lee has asserted that "it may
be years" before Michigan Con-
solidated's proposed pipe line Is
constructed.
