SCC Rebukes Howell In Vepco Hearing Postponement
The State Corporation Commission resisted Lieutenant Governor Henry Howell’s bid to delay Vepco hearings. In a plainspoken eight page memo, Commissioner Ralph T. Catterall warned Howell to stay out of the proceedings, noting his executive role and lack of automatic postponement rights. The commissioners emphasized their duty to protect consumers from monopolistic utilities, asserting Howell’s efforts should stay in the Senate, not the regulatory arena. They highlighted $70 million in consumer savings from prior SCC rate reductions and warned delaying hearings could harm service reliability.

1972 Outlook Sees Vigorous Expansion and Auto Sales Rise
James M. Roche, retiring GM chairman, foresees a stronger 1972 economy with favorable fiscal and monetary policy.
