Even your electric bill is probably higher now than it was a few years ago. With a all the work-saving, pleasure-giving appliances •• most people enjoy today, it’s not surprising that the average family’s use of electricity has dou-j ,/^.Q bled in the last fifteen years! y ! But with Con Edison’s step-down rates, the more electricity you use the less it costs per kilowatt-hour.

Williams Hits Blase Law Students Rep. Adam Clayton Powell's lawyer, Edward Bennet Williams dclared this week that law stu­ dents are “rather blase and un­ concerned about the basic free­ doms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.’ Williams,a noted criminal lawyer, expressed his views in a statement published by the Center for the Study of Demo­ cratic Institutions. He did not limit his criticism to today’s law students, but also aimed his barbs at the average American who he charged is not bothered about curtailment of his freedom of speech “because he doesn't have unorthodox ideas." School Inertia Williams seemed appealed over the inertia in American school- asserting that “the average civ­ ics student in an American high school doesn’t know what you are talking about if you refer to the basic guarantees of the Bill of Rights. The average col­ lege student is similarly ignor­ ant." “There is a lethargy about our form of government, its origin, its history, the meaning of con­ stitutional rights in the frame­ work of our society in the 1960’s”, Williams added. The trouble with today’s law students, as Williams sees it, is that most of them set their professional goal in securing .a position with a large law firm in a big city, and that they in­ variable avoid criminal law be­ cause 60 per cent of the peopfe who are their potential clients cannot afford to pfiy them a single penny. COHR Has Tapes To Loan The City Commission on Hu­ man Rights announced this week that it has one-half hour tapes on discussions on race and cul­ ture, housing, minorities and discrimination laws for loan to private agencies in discussion sessions. The tapes may be obtained by writing to or calling the City Commission on Human Rights, Eleanor Middleton, 80 Lafayette St., New York, N, Y., WOrth 14-4700. Car Rentals Hit New High The use of rented cars in the New York City area hit an all- time volume high during 1962, Hertz Rent A Car reported Tues­ day. So great was the demand by New York motorists during the year that the organization's metropolitan area auto fleet in­ creased by about 20 per cent. Hertz attributed the sharply mounting volume of New York car rentals during 1962 to a marked increase in public ac­ ceptance of a number of special services designed to meet the particular motoring needs of New Yorkers.
