DIETERICH DENIES ‘ROCKING' GALLERY Power Lobbyists Assailed by Couzens for Presence in Senate. B the Associated Press. Charges by Senator Wheeler, Demo- erat, of Montana, that Senator | Dieterich. Democrat, of Tllinois had “filled” the galleries with power lob- | byists rang through the Senate yes- | terday and were hotly denied during | debate on the controverted Rayburn- | ‘Wheeler bill to outlaw utility holding companies by 1942. . A flutter of uneasiness was notice- able in the galleries as the exchange took place, and Senator Couzens, Re- publican, of Michigan, arch enemy of lobbyists, interposed: “It ill becomes representatives of these holding com- panies to come in on this floor and try to wreck the work of the Federal | Trade Commission.” Charges Study Prevented. Dieterich. A member of the Infer- state Commerce Committee, precipi- tated she exchange by charging Chair- man Wheeler had rushed the bill through the committee to the Senate floor without giving members a chance | to study it thoroughly. Spinning around to face the Illi- | nois Semator, the Montanan shouted: | “The Senator rarely attended the meetings of the committee. And when he came he complained princi- | pally about representatives of the Government being present.” Recalling that attention had been called in the press to the presence of Ben Cohen, P. W. A. attorney, who helped draft the bill, in the Senate chamber beside him, Wheeler asked Deiterich: “Did they or any one else say any- thing about the lobbyists the Senator from Illinois put in the galleries?” “I resent that.” Dieterich said. rising from his seat, his face flushed. He instantly denied he had “filled the galleries” with lobbyists. Blames “Power Interests.” “It was called to my attention that he did.” Wheeler asserted, adding the nower interests” had flooded the Senate with “propaganda” against the legislation. “I am not so naive that I don't | know what is back of the opposition to this bill,” Wheeler said. Constitutionality of the measure, in view of the Supreme Court's N. R. A. decision, was debated. Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, declared his study of its provisions left him unsatisfied with Wheeler's assertion the Federal Government should regu- | late out or existence utility holding | companies it found “unessential.” The interstate commerce limita- tion in the Constitution would not prevent operation of the act. Wheeler insisted, explaining that the only | holding companies coming under its provisions would be those wanting to operate across State lines. | . » TWO AIRLINES CUT | TIME WESTWARD New Service to Coast Cities, and Chicago and Detroit is | Inaugurated.
