THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, JULY 18, 1932. POWER BODY ASKS PUBLIC CONTROL Federal Commission Declares Action Over Holding Com- panies Essential. Making a preliminary report after an Investigation covering a year, the Fed- eral Power Commission recommends full public control of holding companies. | In its findings, given out today for | publication, the commission says that this supervision is “absolutely essential in the public interest,” and adds that | “such control to be adequate weuld in- clude in its scope the service (manage- | ment and engineering) organizations of | these holding companies, with super- vision of all contracts between holding companics and their operating com- panies.” and “supervision of the issue of securities to the investing public. This would include regulation of ac- counts with requirements providing specifically for the filing of financial and other reports on prescribed forms with full publicity. Duplication Avoided. | |2 To avoid duplication of the Federal “Trade Commission’s investigation of the financial setup of power companies, the power commission did not go into the subject of write ups of assets, over- capitalization and the like. It said, however, that the data collected dis-, closed “the dominance of the holding in the power field covered by prfi]e(‘lsi licensed by the Federal Government. “The experience of the commission accounting activities had al- developed the fact that much of ormation necessary is altogether the control of holding com- » the report said. ‘“Therefore, | + = the accounts of the licensee j ny by the Federal p % * * the books of the licensee as a general rule do not Teflect detailed information.” ‘The commiss! said the companies in general co-operated fully in giving information for t inquiry, but the ‘Associated Gas & Electric Co. failed to | make the requested return. | “This esception alike brings into contrast the co-operative spirit of the other top companies,” the commission said, “and prov the necessity for ioned authc being vested in Power s of ir wed that 48 major projects un- to public utilities are sub- | by 10 top companies, 10 serve 12,487 com- | a population of more The companies dis- 49,000.000,000_ Kilo- watt h 1t. of which 8,000, 000,000 is received from the licensed plants already operating. | at these Community Interest Indicated. | The degree of community interest be- tween the 10 groups is indicated, the report by the fact that 19 direc- tors were directors or with four groups ed than an increas- s being t s across state boun- 2 specified com- commerce to 4 and even ing al mitted daries, panies the exten 5 4, the pay of employes who receive more than $1,500 wet per cent the salarie (above), Norma Shearer.

CREEN FORESEES RIOTS OVER FOOD Labor Leader Records “Keen Disappointment” Over Con- gress’ Relief Policy. { | BY the associated Press. i| ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, July 18.— {|A “Winter of discontent,” marked by i widespread food riots, is what the Council of the American Federation of : | Labor expects this year, because of the | failure of Congress to enact “adequate” unemployment relief measures. | _The forecast of rioting and social dis~ |orders was made by Willlam Green, | president of the federation and spokes- man for the council, who expressed the council’s “keen disappointment” yes- terday at the adjournment of Congress | before it made ample provisions for the unemployment_situation. The council also was disappointed, Green announced, because Congress did not deal with farm relief and because it did not modify the Volstead act to | permit the imediate manufacture of 1275 per cent beer. | Green said he did not believe the rioting would assume revolutionary pro- | portions, but he did predict the white | collar class would participate in it. More than 11,000,000 workers are | now unemployed, Green estimated. By | ‘Wlntcr. he predicted, the number will | exceed 13,000,000. | Perforated Checks in Paris. | Banks in Paris are just taking up the ! | idea of perforating, as well as crossing | checks as a protection against forgers, One of the private members" bills tabled for the consideration of the new Cham- ber of Deputies provides for such a | measure.

S., 65 MILES, MADE BY PILOT Feat Accomplished in Pennsylvania on Eve of National Contest for This Type Machine. By the Assoclated Press. ELMIRA, N. . Y, July 18—A new record of 65 miles for glider flying trants in the annual national gliding meet here to fly at. With nothing but the wind to pro- pel him, Pilot Martin Schempp of Pittsburgh, Pa., took off in his motor- less glider yesterday and fled to Gel- latt, Pa., 65 miles away. The farthest an American glider had ever been flown before was 17.6 miles. If Schempp had failed to fly to the Pennsylvania village, through some error in riding the winds, the record would have been broken anyhow by another flyer. John O'Meara of New York, at the same time, was en route to Binghamton, N. Y. 38 air miles away, although he flew 55 miles before he_arrived there. In the course of his flight O'Meara said he climbed a mile above the hills of Southern New York, a record alti- tude, although he had no proof to win him official recognition. Real Estate Loans | (D.
