First chapter in this case oc- curred when Harrison Williams husband of America’s best-dressed woman, organized the North Am- erican holding company controlling | a score of Midwest utilities, with| securities valued at $1,526,000,000 in 1929. John Dulles was not only | counsel but, in the peak year of | 1929, became a director and a| member of the executive committee. ! INFLATED COMPANY The Dulles firm also was counsel top-heavy investment trusts, Cen- tral States. According to an offi- cial report by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Williams in- vested only $72,000 fn Central States in 1912, and by clever mani- pulation with investors’ linflated the company to more than of the recent income tax forms. that mystified even lawyers and bankers.

When the bubble finally burst, the American public, according to the SEC, was |left holding the bag to the tune of more than $300,000,000. By the end of last year, the com- panny, still dominated by Williams and counselled by Dulles, was worth |only $11,148,655. The subsidiaries of Central States and their shrinkages were: Goldman Sachs, shrunk | 403,000,000 from 1929 1936; Shenandoah . Corporation, shrunk $124,000,000; Blue Ridge Corpora- tion, shrunk $97,000,000; American Cities Power and Light, shrunk $72,000,000; plus several others. Dulles is also counsel and a dominating influence in the Ameri- |can Banknote Company which, | through his influence with Central |States and the North American | Company, has enjoyed a monopoly of all their stock and bond certifi- cates. Other bank notes companies |have offered to take this business |at around half the price charged Iby American Banknote. | DOMINATING INFLUENCE | Dulles also was a dominating in- | fluence in the Babcock and Wilcox | Boiler Company. Until recent years | subsidiaries were required to buy their power plant boilers from Bab- cock and Wilcox, sometimes prices considerably higher than those obtainable at competitive bidding. Dulles’ firm also was counsel for ot famous fiasco when its head, Don- ald F. Coster, turnned out to be Frank Musica, who shot himself |when he was caught several mil- lions short on phony warehouse receipts. (Distributed by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Under this configura- tion whatever is constructive or progressive should benefit. HEART AND HOME: Practical ideas will dominate in the home as plans for coming months are fol- lowed. The simple life will appeal to families and much that is super- | fluous in the daily routine will be, discarded. Return to many old-| fashioned customs will be popular. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Manufac- turers are subject to the best di- rection of the stars at this time when foresight and caution will aid | them in preparations for return to| production for civilian needs. Ex- | plosive or unexpected events are to make speedy changes imperative. NATIONAL ISSUES: Political propaganda will be highly colored as Election Day draws near. Honest differences of opinion will be ex- pressed, accompanied by bitter | criticism. The seers warn that words have lasting quality and survive in the public mind long after they are forgotten by the writers or speakers who project them. i INTERNATIONAL Al“l"‘AIRS:I Conflicting emotions—joyous over | |victories and sorrows over heavy losses of our brave men—will mark | this month of supreme significance in world history. Danger from peace overtures and conspiracies are fore- cast. Persons whose birthdate it is have !the augury of a year of tests that |are difficult, but happiness will sus- tain those who must overcome mis- fortune. Children born on this day prob- jably. will be studious and conseien- itious and fond of travel. Teachers belong to this decan of Libra.

Alaska products shipped to the United States during September had a total declared value of $17,385,957, which lacked less than one per cent of being as equal to the products shipped in the same month in 1917, according to the Colléctor of Customs. W. R. Leivers, George Folta and H. L. Faulkner returned from a trip to Jualin where they had been taking pictures of the Vanophem property.
