Borgia Compelled Continuesos Fate 1 and On Since 1918
Borgia faced hearings over the Know North America series with two senators expressing amazement at his background. He has been a writer translator and adapter of books and radio programs. George J. Allen of the State Department said overall responsibility rests with the department but funding and staff are lacking for close supervision. He asked Congress to clarify the department's overseas broadcasting duties and requested 27 million dollars for the next fiscal year.

River Flood Threat Looms as Vanport Dikes Fail
River crested conditions near Portland as upstream levels fell slowly toward a 6 to inch drop expected in Vancouver and Portland tomorrow. Forecaster Elmer Fisher warned gunports could stay underwater for three weeks and the flood may persist over a month hampering search for bodies. A dike breach at Vanport sent water through a fill, washing away apartments and scattering bodies up to 20 miles.

Rate Boost Approved With Conditions On 891000 Increase
The Public Service Commission approved rate increases for the company effective yesterday and set conditions. Subscriptions in St Albans and Nitro must receive the same rates by April 1 next year, preferably by December 31 this year, with Belle also covered. A detailed earnings and expense report is due by December 20. The commission noted uncertainty in the exact earnings from the increase, but that $891,000 is not beyond what could be earned. It found last year’s capital investment at least $30,000,000 and said current revenues fall short of covering all operating expenses taxes and depreciation. It also said depreciation and amortization were overstated by about $200,000 and proposed reductions of $300,000 in several expense areas. A January 1, 1949 deadline was set for the increases and earnings-expense review by year’s start.
