Gas Co. Attorneys In Washington To Fight Case Southern Counties Gas Co. is going to bat in hearings which began today in Washington, D.C., before the Federal Power Commission in a presentation designed to show its customers have been charged a disproportionate share of higher rates sought by El Paso Natural Gas Co. The southland distribution company's representatives will contend in the hearings that final El Paso rates set by the F.P.C. should be less than those paid under bond by California distributors of El Paso gas, since Jan. 1, 1953, when the higher rates went into effect. While the company's showing will indicate that rates paid contingently have been too high, the amount of the reduction believed to be in order reportedly still does not provide for any refund to California companies and consumers at this time. The company does believe, however, that principles involved in the present case will be extremely important and possibly precedent-setting in an F.P.C. decision on a second contingent increase which went into effect April 15, 1955. No date for an F.P.C. hearing on the second offset increase has been set. The company's representatives, it was pointed out, are making every effort in hearings this week to establish a solid foundation on Timothy J. Cude Dies Suddenly On Sunday Timothy J. Cude, 53, a native of Oklahoma who came to California 15 years ago and to Anaheim last October, died very suddenly and unexpectedly Sunday at his home at 8441 Academy Drive. He was an employee at a service station and had just entered his car to leave for work when stricken. An ambulance was called and he was brought to the Anaheim Community hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. He is survived by his wife, Juanita A. Cude; five daughters, Mrs. Paul Du Pont of Norwalk, Mrs. Rex Johnson of Bell, Mrs. A. J. Hamm of Anaheim, Misses Nita and Marilyn Cude both at home; mother, Mrs. Mollie Cude; two sisters, Mrs. John Mason and Mrs. Dick Adams and one brother, Truman L.

EMPLOYMENT UP FOR FEB.; HIGHEST IN PAST 12 YEARS California factory employment rose by 7,300 from January to reach a February total of 1,101,500 wage and salary workers. This was the highest February on record except for the wartime year of 1944 when 1,153,600 were at work in California manufacturing plants. About half of the current January-February gain resulted from seasonal expansion in such industries as lumber, apparel, and stone, clay and glass products. Other increases were recorded in aircraft, machinery, primary metals, and electrical equipment. Partly offsetting these gains were losses in fabricated metals and in private ship repair. More than three-quarters of the increase during the year was in durable goods manufacturing — aircraft added about 15,000 workers; machinery, electrical equipment, and primary metals each added more than 5,000. In soft goods groups, the largest gain, 3,400, was recorded in printing and publishing. Private ship repair reported the only significant decline from a year ago. February employment was at all-time records in apparel, printing and publishing, ordnance, machinery, and electrical equipment.
