Group Protests
at Deportations

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—A protest
against British "dumping" of Jews
on the island of Cyprus was for-
mally lodged this week in a me-
morandum from the Cyprus Fed-
eration of Labor to the British

governor objecting to "permanent
or temporary settlement of Jews
in Cyprus" on the grounds that
such a policy may effect the
island's food supplies.
Meanwhile, the deportation ship
Empire Heywood, which left Hai-
fa after being delayed a week by
sabotage, began disembarking 800
visaless immigrants, including 370
men, 219 wo.men and 11 children.
The landings were orderly and no
guards were present while the

deportees were escorted from the
dock to the detention camp.
The immigrants were wearing

NO GAS

And Am I Burned Up!

burns me up! A few months back when I wanted to

take on over 100 more private homes each month ...
maybe more.
But that's chicken-feed compared to additional homes they could
have heated under a good storage plan.

install a gas furnace, Michigan Consolidated said: So

Big shortage. No more gas for space beating. Now I see that while
the ban is still on for GI home builders and all the other home-
owners in town, Michigan Consolidated is adding about 125
new commercial accounts to its lines each month! What's the
answer, Mr. Contractor?

Storage plan?" That's a new one on me. Tell me more.
Well, as I get it, Panhandle Eastern makes 125 million cubic feet
of gas available to Michigan Consolidated every 24 hours. But

Well, young fellow; "business is business." Michigan Conseil,
dated likes commercial accounts. They use gas all the year 'round
and pay a highly profitable commercial rate ... much more than
you would pay for house-heating gas.

Michigan Consolidated only takes the full amount on the coldest
days of winter ... much less when it's warmer. Now, if Michigan
Consolidated took all the gas it has coming each day and stored
underground all that it doesn't immediately sell,
it would save up
billions of cubic feet for winter. In 1945 alone, this
would have
provided enough gas to heat nearly
another 100,000 homes
(more than double the number now using gas
heat).

You mean that a regulated public utility can discriminate like
that ... pick out fat commercial accounts and leave thousands of
private home owners like me out in the cold?

It looks that way. I see by the papers that at a Federal hearing in
Washington the other day someone asked a Michigan Conseil-
dated official, "How come?" and he said he had no explanation.

Just as a rough guess, how many more homes could be heated

with the gas now being given these new commercial customers?

Hard to say, but I'd estimate that Michigan Consolidated could

Why doesn't Michigan Consolidated do it?

Search me. Michigan Consolidated's own engineering advisors
recommended construction of a pipe line to their upstate storage
fields back in 1944. And Panhandle Eastern even offered to finance
and construct the line, which would have prevented
this shortage.

And now I can't have gas to heat my house. I don't get id
