FAIR, FULL LOBBY QUIZ IS PLEDGED BY BYRNS Administration Seeks to Save, Vital Holding Company Clause in Conference. By the Associated Press. A new prediction that the utilities bill probably will be vetoed if it goes to President Roosevelt without the *~death sentence” for holding com- panies was made today. This develop- | ment occurred as opposing forces pre- pared for another conflict on the measure Monday. “I am morally certain,” said Chair- man Wheeler. Democrat. of Montana, of the Senate Interstate Commerce Comimttee, “that the President will veto the bill if it i1s sent up to him | without the death sentence.” | Wheeler is a sponsor of the bill which passed the Senate in a form satisfactory to the administration. *The House, however, struck out a pro- vision for mandatory abolition of “un- necessary” holding companies and voted to give the Securities Commis- sion discretionary authority to kill them or let them live New Battle Nears.

WO HELENS WIN 0 TENNIS FINAL Miss Jacobs, Mrs. Moody Sweep Aside Foes at Wimbledon. By the Associated Press WIMBLEDON. England. July 4.— For the third tim> since 1929, Helen Jacobs and Mrs. Helen Wills Mocdy today battled their way into the fina round of the all-England tennis cham- pionships. Miss Jacobs played some of the finest tennis of her career to eliminate the 3-to-1 favorite. Hilda Krahwinkle Sperling of Germany. 6—3. 6—0. while Mrs. Moody. six times winner of the Wimbledon crown, swept aside Joan Hartigan, top-ranking Australian, 6—3, 6—3. Mrs. Moody. plaving in her first major tournament since a back injury forced her to default to Miss Jacobs in the third set of the American championship finals of 1933. thus gained the Wimbledcn final round for the seventh time in her career. She won the title on six occasions Miss Jacobs never has won the title but has reached the final round three times, twice to be beaten by Mrs. Moody. Frau Sperling held Miss Jacobs even for the first four games. but ereafter it was a rout. Employing her famed chop strokes with deadly effect. Miss Jaccbs held complete control of the situation. Demoralized by the Californian’s deadly accurate play, Frau Sperling offered * hardly any resistance at all in the second set Mrs. Moody drove with great strength and accuracy. Throughout the match her Australian opponent exploited probably the best forehand in women’s tennis, but Helen was much too cagey to fall a victim to it cn_important points. John Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison, the American Davis Cup doubles com- kination and top-seeded team here, swept into the semi-final round with a straight-set conquest of Max Bert- ram and Walter Musgrove of South Africa, 6—1. 10—8, 6—0.

Despite the holiday, President Roose- | ference at the White House today to discuss his tax-the-wealth plan. Congressional hearings are due to start next week on this measure— the last of the list of major “must” bills submitted this session. Administration officials are known to be hoping for quick action on __this and other bills and for adjourn- ment of Congress within a few weeks, possibly by August 1. | In some quarters it is believed that the White House, in a desire for an early adjournment. will accept what it can get in regard to the utility holding company bill and the omnibus banking bill, with the thought that further action may be sought at later sessions. Others See Veto Likely. On the other hand. some legislators notably Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana, are saying the President probably will veto any utility bill that does not contain the “death sentence” for holding companies. The legislaters invited to the White House today on taxes were Chairman | Doughton, Democrat, of North Caro- Hna of the House Ways and Means Committee, which initiates revenue legislation, and a subcommittee of that body.

By the Associated Press. FREE CITY OF DANZIG, July 4— Eight prominent citizens of Danzig were in custody today for attempting, it is charged, to protest against the Senate's emergency decrees cutting the salaries of state functionaries. The arrested men include a chief | counsel for the administration, a Su- preme Court counsel, two district court directors and three high police officials. An organization was formed among state employes to protest to the League of Nations against the salary reduc- | tions. and after arresting the leaders secret police announced, “More ar- rests are impending.” The emergency decrees provided for “voluntary” saluary reductions and empowered the government to retire functionaries on 80 per cent of their salaries. Dissatisfaction of employes | arose from a fear that the govern- | ment would retire or dismiss objectors to the reductions.

An order signed by the President yesterday directed that all applica- tions for projects costing $25,000 or more should be filed with the Public Works Administration under Secre- tary Ickes. Those less than $25,000 are to be sent to Harry L. Hopkins’ Work Progress Divisicn. Hopkins' agency also will receive applications for white collar work and any proj- ects costing more than $25,000 which would require mostly unskilled labor. Many observers believed the ar- rangement would make Ickes some- what more important in the works set-up, with Hopkins, however, re- maining the top man. Ickes and Hopkins have repeatedly denied that there has been friction between them. Walker's Duties Not Clear. Just what Walker's duties and re- sponsibilities will be in this new ar- rangement is not clear. Apparently his_division is to be concerned only with receiving applications for Gov- ernment constructicn projects and with issuing press releases. Speed in starting the new job-mak- ing machinery was promised by Hop- kins. He said that low-cost work programs for the remaining 45 States would be approved by August 1. Such programs for three States already have been recommended, indicating that possibly as much as $2,000.000, 000 might be spent on this type of work, SEPT. 22 OR 29 IS SET FOR GREEK PLEBISCITE Chamber Tomorrow Begins De- bate on Monarchical Restora- tion or Republic's Retention.
