CREMPA'S RELEASE DEMANDED BY MOB [N Mother’s Funeral Delayed. Crowd Resents Slaying by Deputies. _By the Assoclated Press. . PLAINFIELD, N.

Crempa had long defied an Anjunction restraining him from dam- -aging power lines of the public Service Electric & Gas Co. which cross his property. Delay in freeing the son and Crempa, sr, who is in a hospital suffering from bullet wounds, caused a second postponement of the funeral today. .

Stanley Pryga, chairman of the Citizens' Protest Committee, ad- dressed a crowd of several hundred ‘persons from the porch of the Crempa “home in Scotch Plains shortly before noon.

BY PAUL MALLON. AN DIEGO, California.—Pres- ident Roosevelt is probably go- ing to wish that the San Diego World's Fair had been hel Little America or some similar poli- tical climate before he gets through. In California, he is stepping here into the hottest split in Democratic ranks anywhere. On one side are the Upton Sinclair epicurians, unques- tionably in control of a majority of Democratic votes in this State today. Their bitter antagonists are the good old-fashioned McAdoo Democrats, who have the money and the inside party machine. Gen. Farley’s deft jootwork on his recent visit to California will undoubtedly be the diplomatic rou= tine for Mr. Roosevelt to follow. Farley remained away from Hamil- ton Cotton’s Democratic picnic (the McAdoo wing). The general feeds them the patronage in Washington and could aflord to snub them here. In public and in private he hobnobbed generally with the Sine clair boys. The play on that seems to be that Mr. Roosevelt wants to keep close to the E. P. I. C.s—but not too close. Senator Borah is strong in the West. From Chicago out you will find a strong undercurrent faverable to the Idahoan for the Republican pres- idential nomination. It reaches its fullest strength on the coast. ‘The leaders are not in on it, but all THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, BUSINESS THREAT SEEN BY LANDIS New S. E. C. Head Outlines Control Issue Facing Supreme Court. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Out of the first address made by James M. Landis, the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commis- sion, has come a clear and somewhat startling definition of the issues that face the courts in the forthcoming battle to determine whether Congress and the President have again violated the Constitution with a piece of so- called reform legislation. Mr. Landis has a tough job. He is obliged to administer a law which, as he remarks, is questioned at the out- set on constitutional grounds by the industry most affected by its terms. To the credit of Mr. Landis it must be said that, while his spirit of ap- proach is one of humility in the exer- cise of new powers “without vindic- tiveness” and “with an open mind,” nevertheless he reiterates quite firmly the philosophy of the New Deal— namely, that the Federal Government has a right to regulate, indeed to | “control,” the management, if neces- sary, of a given industry in order to bring about a so-called. protection for investors. This function has hitherto been re- garded as one for the States alone to exercise and even this has been lim- ited by Supreme Court decisions. View Goes Beyond Regulation.

The price of high-grade bonds also has been interesting this well-informed authority. He knows that the large investment corporations (trusts, insur- ance companies, banks) have been draining this field dry and that prices have been inflated by this abnormal demand. His opinions are not conclusive, but are as good as you can get from this The troubles of new -dealing here are just about the same as in every other section of the country—only more so. There is, for instance, the unpublished yarn about the farmer in Siskiyou County. He was one of those farmers who never had time to count his pigs, but just let them grow fat and fast. A county agent came around and counted them, finding that the farmer had 152 too many. The farmer agreed that these 152 extras would have to be eliminated. He suggested that they be slaughtered and buried on his farm. But the county agent insisted that they be given to nearby placer gold miners, who were having a hard time getting enough to eat. The farmer contended that this would close up the mearest sales market for the rest of his pigs and ruin him. He has written of his problem to prominent authorities, The county agent has taken the matter up with Washington. No one has consulted the pigs. Then there is the typical yarn about the men on relief down in Kern Coun- ty. There are 7,000 of them in that community, idle next to the fields where the farmers cannot get suf- ficient farm help to move their crops. The men on relief declined to take the field jobs for & few weeks because they would lose their relief status. It seems that nearly every one in California can tell you of a farmer friend back in the hills who cannot get sufficient help because of this sit- uation. the Other Side.

Terms Are Undefined. what it meant when it ordered all holding companies to die unless they could be “geographically and econom- ically integrated.” Congress didn't know how to do it because there is no definition beyond dispute which explains “economic integration” any more than there is a clear definition today of what the New Dealers, either individually or collectively, mean by & “planned economy.” To write such phrases into the statute is simple enough, but to get the courts to sustain these vague words as a justification for ruining thousands of innocent investors who would be deprived of their property “without due process” is something else again as long as we have a writ- ten Constitution, To understand how far-reaching this particular law happens to be and what it will mean to all bus- inesses and industries if the Federal Government is by chance sustained as within the Constitution in what it is trying to do with holding com- penies, it is pertinent to examine the device used in the public utility law. First, all companies are required to file a registration statement. Second, any company that refuses to file a registration statement by De- cember 1 next is thereafter forbidden to use the malils or any other instru- mentality of interstate commerce. Penalties Are Great. ‘This means, presumably, that a company refusing to file the registra- tion statement can be prevented not only from writing letters to custom- ers or collecting its accounts by mail, but it can't ship materials on the railroads or by trucks or by any other carriers. But who should object to & mere registration statement? Nobody would if it was just a fact-finding affair. the stores nearly empty.

Mr. Landis himself, however, says the “registration statement means more than merely the gathering of informa- tion,” He frankly and with charac- teristic sincerity says “out of registra- tion springs the mechanism of con- trol” and he declares that this con- trol “strikes at many features of man- agement.” So it will be apparent that if Con- gress can thus intrude on the man- agement of & holding company in one industry, it can instruct Federal bu- reaus to do the same thing with the holding companies of all other indus- tries, and this implies, of course, 1t can regulate the agement of any corporation or ership in the country and that the days of State control.of corporations are at an end.

Rev- enues were computed at $479,000,000 greater and expenditures at $768,- 000,000 loss. Figures Are Reduced. Analyzing the President’s figures and reducing lump-sum spending esti- mates to daily averages, observers were struck by the fact that the figures cited would require a reduction of nearly a million dollars a day in the “ordinary” expenditures of the Government for the remainder of the fiscal year. They would require, too, | & jump of more than $2,000,000 daily in “emergency” outlays. Thus fer in the fiscal year, spend- ing for “ordinary” purposes has to- taled $935,000.000, a daily rate of $10,500,000. The new estimates fore- cast a year’s total of $3,597,000,000, leaving $2,662,000,000 still to be spent, By the Associated Press. LAS VEGAS, Nev, October 1— President Roosevelt returned to his | special train an hour late last night after a hazardous experience in which hi. car was forced to turn around on the edge of a mountain precipice. The incident made every one in the | party hold their breaths and un- doubtedly gave Mr. Roosevelt some- what of a thrill before the | around was finally made. It all happened when Senator Pitt- man of Nevada, driving with the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, sug- gested a tour of a new road up the side of Mount Charleston. 20 miles away. The highway, built by C. C. C. boys, developed to be a one-way road with no place to turn around. It was perilous enough for a presidential car to go swaying along the new gravel roadbed around sharp curves and above deep cliffs. After about 10 miles of this a sign was passed which said “Dangerous, Drive Slow.” The President and Mrs. Roosevelt went on, thinking there would be some place to turn around. Finally at a curve it was decided to make the try. There was a little cut in the inner wall which provided more room. The President’s car nudged back into this cut and the 10 other cars trailing him were asked to proceed by. It was impossible for him to pass them on the way down. ‘Then came the wheeling of the big car to make the turn. Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt remained in their seats. The car was driven straight for the edge of the road, below which yawned a pit with no bottom visible from the roadside. turn- | |{AUSTRIAN WAR HERO CALLS ITALY “TRAITOR” *Out of Turn” Talk at Memorial Rite Causes Nation Em- barrassment.
