Both in editorials and in some news stories in yester- ! day's News and Observer, Danels creates the impression that Governor O.

If they are not to high, we want to learn the facts so that we can pass the facts along to the public.” Two things stand in the path of re ducing utility rate*, however, it was pointed out by Commissioner George P.

One is that the utility com panies have suffered just as much from the depression as have other companies, especially in loss of busi ness from large users of electricity in industry, as well as a heavy loss in (Continued on Page Six) Danville Jury Frees Smith For Killing of Deputy Danvilte, Va., July 15.—(AP)—Gar land Smith, was acquitted today by ’a Danville jury in Jiis third trial for killing Bernard Tory,' Mecklenburg county deputy sheriff as the oMtcer returned from*** raid oh still.
