S.E.C. EXEMPTS - STATE UTILITIES Holding Firms Primarily In- i tra-State Need Not File With Commission. Br the Assoclated Press. ‘The Securities Commission today Bave a Dblanket exemption from wegistration under the utility act to| Rll holding companies whose opera- tions are predominantly within 8| Btate. v The move was considered another in the commission’s policy of imposing o unreasonable burdens under the faw whose constitutionality is being ghallenged in the courts by major Eompanies in the utility field. ‘The holding company act itself pro- Wided for exemption of those com- s Whose business was chiefly with- a State. Up to now application ex- mptions have been required of such olding units. ‘The new rule makes even this move linnecessary in the case of predom- Inantly intrastate companies. The ex- emption is to continue until further wotice. At the same time the commission ex- empted holding companies which are predominantly operating companies whose operations are confined to the Btate of their organization and ad- Jacent States; companies which are primarily engaged in businesses other than that of electric and gas utilities; companies which are only temporarily holding companies in connection with | liquidation of debts or distribution of securities, and companies controlling only foreign systems. ‘This group of exemptions expires on | February 3, 1936. A number of companies already have epplied for exemption from the act on the ground their operations are pre- dominantly intrastate. Among these was the big Public Service Corp. of New Jersey. Another regulation exempts affili- | #tes, defined as a company holding § per cent or more of the voting securi- ties of a utility company, from apply- | ing to the commission for approval of further purchases of such securi- ties, This exemption extends until Feb- ruary 3, 1936, on condition that such | acquisitions be reported to the com- | mission. Registered companies hold- | ing 10 per cent or more of another company’s securities are not exempted from the law's requirement that such | scquisitions be approved.

NEW YORK, November 29.—Incom- plete returns from 12 States in the Literary Digest's national straw ballot show a further increase this week in the majority of votes registering disapproval of President Roosevelt's New Deal acts and policies. The magazine said 207,087 votes have been tallied, of which 91,351 show approval of the New Deal and 115,736 express opposition. The votes so far counted, the Digest said, are from Florida, Georgia, Illi- nois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Mis- souri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. The Digest's report shows 55.89 per cent of the ballots counted opposed | to the New Deal. A week ago the | opposition votes amounted to 53.28 per cent. New Deal Stronger in 1934, In 1934 a similar poll by the Digest disclosed 38.85 per cent of those voting were opposed to the New Deal. The magazine said this year's count to date shows only 2 of the 12 States— Georgia and Texas—giving a majority vote in favor of the New Deal. Illi- nois registered the heaviest opposition. Pointing out that 36 more States are to be heard from, the magazine repeated its warning “that nobody can tell what the final results will be.” “Even in the 12 States represented today the result may fluctuate before the finish. It is still either side'’s race,” the Digest said. Tabulation by States. The tabulation of votes was an- nounced by the Digest as follows: State, Total Fo!
