WITHIN THE LAW Readers of The Daily Alaska Empire have asked why the usual information regarding the breakup of the ice in the Chena River and Tanana River has not been published, aside from the dates of both, as in As mentioned before, postal regulations first slan down on all newspapers came | The prohibit last chor > Times on publishing full particulars of the Chena River breakup. Previously The Empire had been notified that publication even of the amount of the d of the Nenana ice breakup would bar The Empire from the mails and it was.

S. Code qunmdI above. Neither the News-Miner nor the Anchorage Times | nor any other newspaper of repute is interested m; breaking Federal laws. All newspapers, however, are interested in accurate | n interpretation of laws affecting them. The almost-universal interpretation of this regu- lation among publishers has been that it is directed ; against the well-known illegality of promoting a lottery by means of the mails.

SEC IS ON THE SPOT What Curtis Calder runs up | against before the SEC tcday is a ! battery of irate stockholders who | boint out that American and For- jeign Power has defaulted on both [m\t and second preferred stock dividends. In addition, it ' hasn’ paid dividends on common stock since 1930. As a 1t of these defaults, a U. S. District Court in Maine re- cently ordered the SEC to hold a | hearing and listen to stockholders’ complaints. At first the SEC ap- peared loath to do this—possibly i because Truman had lstened to Boss. Ed Flynn of the Bronx ani appointed certain friendly Demo- jcrats to the SEC. But faced with a court order, the SEC is now very much on the spot. If it takes favorable action for the steckholders, and against Cald- or and Cdlum, then the SEC may incur the ire of a gentleman who deesn't relish cpposition to his can- didates for office. (Witness his stubkorn defense of Mon Wall- gren.) ‘What happened was that Electric B and S, proposed floating a $35,- 000,600 bond issue to reorganize American and Foreign Power. The Reorganization was opposed by some stockholders, some of whom claimed this was merely the old (game ol borrowing money to pay | dividends. At first, the courts sided with the company and against the stock- fihuldcrs—unu] something unexpected happened. jSurance companies refused to buy |the new bonds issue. Also the once “sucker” public shied away from | buying. Result: American and | Fereign Power went into default jon dividends on both first and second preferred stocks, calising the | U. 8. District Court in Maine to | reverse itself and order the SEC to reconsider the entire case | That is why a battery of {yers for both stockholders The big banks and in- | law- | and | 'bu;geit campaign contributors will jbe in the spotlight during the hum- ‘dlum hearings today. | NEW MAP PUBLISHED GEOLOGICAL SURYV] I:Y> the | ! !
