SPLITINUTILITIES CONTROL LOOMIN Administration May Urge Legislation to Separate Gas-Electric Units. \ ! By the Associated Press. | Administration officials may urger the President to recommend legisla- | tion to separate natural gas from electric utility companies. 1 This information yesterday followed release by the Federal Trade Commis- sion of a section of its utilities report, which suggested the necessity of reg- ulating the use of natural gas pipe- lines. that independent companies! might not be deprived of these facili- ties { The theory behind the proposal to divorce gas and electric companies is to encourage the development of nat- ural gas, which some critics hold has been retarded because of the joint control of these resources by com- panies predominantly interested in electricity. The President's Power; Policy Committee has the suggestion under consideration. *The commission said recent devel- opment of interstate gas transmission lines under the control of unregulated holding companies and gréups of in- terested companies “may well raise the question as to whether such lines should be classed as commeon carriers or public utilities and their use made available to other interests, as well as | those owning the lines.” “At present,” the commission add- ed. “the only way an independent producer of gas can find an outlet is| to sell it to one of the interests con- | trolling the line. * * * “This is particularly true where, as' in the case of the Appalachian and Ohio gas fields, production territory' and ownership of principal interstate | and intrastate pipe lines and dis-| tribution systems are in the hands of some one of a very small number of dominant interests.

Even before things got as they are, the chief had his troubles—the key was lost and it was hours before prison- ers could be let into the structure.

That looked like the end of the | matter. But today a colored trusty didn't| return to his cell at the designatedf time, but walked off to freedom. That settled it. Tonight the chief said all visitors would be barred tomorrow and if pris- oners desired religious service they could do theiy own preaching and singing. That’s not all. Rules Being Changed. New rules and regulations about getting into the place are being formu- lated, but until they are visitors must see the chief personally before they can get in.

HE fever chart of Europe is | I other ctisis in the offing as a i result of the Saar plebiscite. | The tension will not be long | because the League of Nations. which | is counting the votes, will make the | results known before Tuesday morn- | ™ accordance with the Versailles | | treaty, it is up to the League to in- | terpret the result of the Saar voting. | I the vote is overwhelmingly in favor of Germany, of course, there will be | nothing more to be said. The Saar ‘mll be returned to the Reich within | |a short time. ! . on the other hand, the re-| union of that district to Germany obtains only a doubtful majority, say €60 or 65 per cent in favor of the Reich and the rest against it, the League will have to interpret that vote, and either decide that only a part of the Saar shall join Germany or that the League shall continue to rule the province for another period of years. Hitler Holds Aloof. Unless the interpretation given by | the League is in favor of an im- | mediate and unconditional return of the Saar to Germany, there is likely | to be trouble. Hitler has astutely refused to send a delegate to participate at the next week's debates at Geneva, although they are concerned exclusively with the plebiscite question. If the de- cision of the Council is even remotely unfavorable to Germany there will be a hue and cry in the Reich and the Council will be accused of parti- sanship. The German government will say that Geneva again has obeyed instructions from Paris and London and that Germany again was discriminated against. The consequences of a decision un- | favorable to the Reich may be far- reaching and may throw Europe in another political turmoil. If there is a cut-and-dried vote in_favor of Germany the League will have to announce the return going up again; there is an- | Pet Bills Clog House Hopper To Please “Fo War Are Among BY JAMES E. CHINN. Already the House hopper has been | clogged with private bills—bills that affect only an individual or two but | | home and especially to the member who introduces them. In less than two weeks of the new session 3,890 of these so-called private | bills have been introduced, printed and filed with the various commit ight of a committee hearing or be distinguished with a place on the calendar. But that does not stop a member from trying to please the folks back home—sometimes a bill means a vote at election time when it is needed, and, sometimes, a whole | family of votes. At ‘any rate, in this crescendo of 3.890 private bills, two have bobbed up that have some speccial historical significance, particularly here in the | seriously. Tobacco Damages Sought. One of them came from the office | of Representative Burch of Martins- ville, Va, where the Civil War has I not given way to the depression as the chief topic of cracker barrel con- versation. Mr. Burch wants Uncle Sam to pay the heirs of Reuben Ragland of Petersburg, Va., for a quantity of tobacco Union soliders seized at Wil-‘ Two Measures Growing Out of Civil| Various Commitiees. which mean so much to the folks back | tees—some of them never to see the | East where we take our early history | lks Back Home” 3,890 Filed With | introduced only one bill—a measure | providing for wild life conservation. | In the present Congress, he says, he| does not propose to drop one bill in| the hopper with his name on it. | Byrns isn't bashful, exactly, but he| does not believe it to be the duty of a House leader to take credit for sponsoring legislation. For that'reason he proposes to ad- here to a policy of giving all admin- istration bills to the committee chairmen to sponsor. For instance, a bill relating to banking and cur- rency would go to Chairman Steagall for introduction; Chairman Palmisano of the Education Committee would in- troduce any educational legislation, and Chairman Connery would handle all 30-hour-week bills and other leg- | islation relating to labor. | Palmisano’s Senatorial Rise. Speaking of Palmisano, his rise from bartender to Congress, and thence to an important committee chairmanship has been nothing short of sensational. Palmisano was born in Italy. Just about the time he began to talk his parents brought him to America, and settled in Baltimore. At the age of 11 he went to werk in a paper box factory, and advanced from that point ! to a bar rocm, a real estate office and finally to Congress. McLeod's \Usfin Labors. Representative McLeod, the youthful- | CUTTEN CHARGES ARE ARGUED HERE Grain Broker Silent During Session Involving Duel Between Attorneys. Flushed and slightly nervous, & gray-haired little man of 64 sat before Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, Secretary of Commerce Roper and Attorney General Cummings yester- day and heard himself called “the greatest grain speculator this country ever had.” He was Arthur W. Cutten, Chicago grain broker, sometimes known as “the mystery man of La Salle street,” whose slightest activity in connection with the grain trading marts has been considered sufficient to cause a turn- over of millions of dollars. ‘Without uttering a word in his own defense, he heard himself charged yesterday with attempted manipula- tion of the markets, with conspiracy and collusion in connection with his dealings, with making false reports of some of those dealings and with making no report at all on some others. Counsel Denies Charges. On his behalf, he heard Orville Teylor, his chief counsel, deny the first three of these charges and claim extenuating circumstances while ad- mitting the fourth. The extenuating circumstances, Taylor declared, were the negligence of an office girl em- i ployed by Cutten and the negligence of the head of the Chicago office of the Grain Futures Administration. Earlier in the hearing before the three cabinet officers, Cutten heard Leo F. Tierney, special attorney for the Government, denounce him as a conspirator for his alleged practice of maintaining numerous accounts with several brokerage firms, each ac- count listing short holdings in grain in amounts up to 500,000 bushels. The total of these short holdings reached a maximum of 7,000,000 bush- els at one time, Tierney said, this amounting to about 20 per cent of the whole volume of open contracts on that date. Members of the broker- age firms were knowingly fellow con- spirators, Tierney charged. Cutten also listened while Taylor described him as a man of prominence in his community, of unimpeachable | | integrity and of the finest sense of {honor in his business dealings. A man, Taylor continued, whose good name and reputation never before had been assailed. Official Is Scored. Attentive throughout, he listened while Taylor blamed an office girl for | negligence, then bitterly scored Leslie | A, Fitz, Chicago official of the Grain Administration, for “willful negligence” in failing to notify the operator that regulations were not being complied with. The office girl, Taylor explained, | had replaced e former secretary who had filed satisfactory reports in 1927- 1929. The new girl had failed to file the reports in 1930 and Fitz had al- lowed 18 months to elapse before bringing it to the attention of Cut- | | ten’s office. Reports filed at that time. Taylor insisted, had been de- | clared adequate although the Gov- ernment now claims them to have | been false. As the two-hour hearing neared its close, Cutten heard Tierney return to the stand to scoff at the defense claim the Grain Futures Administration.

Incidentally, all this tobacco was of the chewing variety, and $28.588.58 auction block. There were 223 boxes 316 drums of “R. Ragland Twist.” It seems that Ragland, who owned all that tobacco, fought for the Con- federacy, and under a special amnesty drew Johnson July 11, 1865. Another Civil War Bill. Rspresentatl\e Lewis of Maryland | | put in the other bill, which also has[ a background of Civil War history. On November 11, 1864, there was a little naval vessel called the Tulip | on its way up the Potomac from Nor- | folk to have her boilers repaired. But | | her boilers wouldn't last for the jour- | ney. and exploded off Raggedy Point | in St. Marys County. There were 57 officers and mcn' aboard at the time. Only 17 sur- vived. The bodies of the 40 others, when recovered, were buried in St. of the Saar to the mother country and another cause of trouble thus will be eradicated. Davis’ Statement Criticized, Ambassador Davis’ statement a few days ago that there is a possibility of reaching a naval agreement this year, with Japan's participation on the basis of a building program instead of the ratio system, has caused much adverse comment in official quarters in Washington. It is evident that Mr. Davis, who is & born optimist, intended to ex- tend this olive branch to Japan, in order to provoke a favorable reaction over there. He was induced to be- lieve that such a reaction was possible, because of the attitude of the Japa- nese delegates, in their private con- versations with him, in London. Mr. Davis' statement was cabled to Tokio, as he expected. But the reaction was just the opposite from what he wanted. The Japanese government and the press con- strued his unofficial declaration to mean that this country was scared of the consequences of the de- nunciation of the Washington Marys County, not far from the scene of the disaster. In the intervening 70 years the bodies have been forgotten. The burial plot is covered with under- brush and trees. What Mr. Lewis wants Congress to do is to appropriate about $2,000 to clear away the underbrush on the burial lot, buy it and erect there a | modest monument. Byrns Avoids Bills. Speaker Byrns is one of the few members of the House who doesn’t like to see his name attached to a bill. In other words, he doesn't like to father legislation, particularly since he has been climbing to the top of the House leadership. 1In the Seventy-third Congress, when Byrns was the majority leader, he lives in England, refusing to return to Siam. The British are playing on the vanity of the Siamese ‘“republicans,” having invited their officers to the | very secret combined exercises of the | British army, navy and air force at | treaty and is prepared now to re- trace its steps. The leading Jap- anese mnewspapers, following in- structions from the government, immediately declared that only absolute parity in maval construc- tions can satisfy Japan. Mr. Davis’ statement, it is feared here, did nothing but to strengthen the jingoistic element in Tokio. Bootlegging in Bread.

Siamese Wooed. There is a fierce competition be- tween the British and the Japanese regarding Siam. Both Britain and Japan want to gain a strong foothold in that country and bring it within its zone of influence. The Japanese are playing on the racial feelings of the Siamese and on the fact that heretofore the British have been upholding the sutocratic rule of King Prajadhipok, who no Singapore. They are telling the pres-* ent government that Great Britain never interferes in the internal aflairs of any country and the disinterested friendship His Majesty’s government has extended to the King of Siam will be extended to whatever form of government might be set up in Siam. Sir Josiah Crosby, the British Minister at Bangkok, does not speak against the Japanese; this would be & poor policy in the East. He merely points out to the Siamese what the Japanese are doing to their friends and asks them to look into the history of the former independent empire of Korea, today a Japanese province.

Finally, he heard the Government attorney read a telegram signed by former Secretary of Agriculture Hyde of the Hoover administration asking the operator to desist from his short trading activities in grains, if reports were true that such operations were 1 going on. In reply, Tierney read a telegram to Hyde from Cutten in which the latter denied he was active in grains. On the day that the tele- gram was sent, Tierney charged, Cut- ten was short by more than 4,000,000 bushels of wheat. A decision on the case, involving disbarment from further trading if the charges are upheld, probably will be rendered in two or three weeks, one of the members of the commission said after adjournment.

Leper Treatment Of Methylene Blue Found Successful Hopes of Cure Aroused by Experiments in Tahiti Colony. By the Assoeiated Press. PAPEETE, Tahiti, January 12— Highly beneficial results have been | obtained in the leper colony of Orofara, Tahiti, with use of methylene blue injections says a medical report in the “journal official of the French establishment in Oceanic.” | So encouraging have been the ef- | fects of the treatment for one month | upon ten subjects that all 122 lepers | in the colony have demanded the same treatment. Dr. Dias, medical captain in charge, sald that in all cases treated there | | had been definite amelioration, dis- | appearance of pain due to degenerat- ing tissues and subsidence of leprous | lesions with ulcers in process of cic- | atrisation. While it is impossible to say yet that definite and permanent cures will be effected, Dias stated there is | possiblity of transforming very rapid- | ly a contagious leper into one of non- contagious type. One per cent solution of methylene blue is injected twice weekly in doses commencing at 10 cubic centimeters | and increasing gradually to 25 cubic centimeters, at which figure they are maintained.

The American Engineering Council yesterday adopted a resolution to go hand in” hand with President Roose- velt’s work program, as outlined in his message to Congress, at the final ses- sion of the three-day convention held in the Pan-American room of the Mayflower Hotel. The resolution urges that all plans for rural electrification be placed in the hands of the Bureau of Agricul- tural Engineers to assemble the data and find out how closely this work can conform to the President’s plan. Three noted authorities on engi- neering problems spoke yesterday. They were Col. Donald H. Sawyer, director of the Federal Employment Stabilization office, who discussed the outlook for private construction; Capt. R. S. Patton, director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, who out- lined the mapping program of the Federal Government, and Dr. Isador Lubin, director of the Bureau of Labor Btatistics. Dr. Lubin described a sur- vey being made by his department to find out how many engineers wer unemployed or forced to abandor their profession for other work durin; the so-called depression. Another resolution adopted by th engineer body advocated further de- velopments along the George Wash ington Canal as a scenic route an as a shrine to George Washingto: lhe !ng\neer the meeting it was an- R that more than 10,000 engi- neers soon would be put to work in mapping parts of the United State which the Coast and Geodetic Survey reports have not been completely and satisfactorily surveyed. If the plan to authorize agricul- tural engineers to do the ground work in the rural electrifieation project is approved, it was pointed out by lead- ers in the profession that thousands of unemployed engineers would b put to work. _— CONFERENCE PLANNED Miss Alice Sowers, parent educatio specialist, will conduct a_parent edu cation conference at the I'ational Ed- ucation Association Building Tuesdav morning and afternoon.
