NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1930. Eastman Expected to Begin His Testimony On Railroad Holding Companies Before House Group Interstate Commerce Com- mission Member to Lay Groundwork for Months of Inquiry — Witness Consistently Against Monopolies. ‘Washington, April 2 (#—In call- ing Commissioner Iastman irnterstate commerce commission, as the first witness in its investigatio ot railroad holding companies, thz house interstate commerce commis- ston has assured itself that prac- lites of the companies condemned by the commission will be invest gated at the cutset. Eastman is expected in his testi- mony Saturday to lay the founda- tion for months of inquiry into the 2ctual ownership of the nation's carriers and legislation necessary to control them. Always Opposed Monopoly Listed as an independent poljtically and on the bench, commissioner has consistently op- posed anything with a hint of monopoly. Writing a scparate opin- ion last December on the commi sion’s consolidation plan, he sail, “there is reason to believe that the country is becoming considerably alarmed by the progress of const dation and unifications among in- dustries in general, and it is feared that control of industry is rapidly passing into a few hands with th: danger that we all become a na- tion of clerks and subordinates.” More recently, he opposed hold- ing companies of the Delaware anld Hudson railroad. Instigated at the behest of the commission, the house committe: headed by Chairman Parker wiil scrutinize newest phases of a pro- cess that bas been a part of the transportation system since the first steam line was chartered. Consolidation has gone steadily forward in one form or another. The Pennsylvania railroad has grown from a single line between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh to on2 of the strongest systems in the country by absorbuig hundreds of smaller lines. Would Reduce Roads Tn its plan for consolidation, the ccmmission purposea eventually o reduce the nearly 1,500 roads now operating into 21 unified trunk lin2 systems, but in ' announcing this program, it voiced a belief that the new era of holding companies was threatening to Dblock the entire consolidation scheme and was per- I'aps beyond power of the mmis- sion or department of justice regu- lation. Between 300 and 500 holding and investment companies are to com within the scope of the inqu starting Saturda ber to be closely scrutinized is to be determined, howeve: by a ques. fionnaire now being drafted by Dr W. M. W. Splawn, special counszl, which will be sent o each com- pany. As a result, several weeks are expected to elapse between Commissioner Lastman’s testimony and further hearings. Names Pennroad Concern In its annual report to congress recommending legislation to deal with the companies, the commission named the Pennroad Company which is controlled by stockholder: of the Pennsylvania railroad, and by the Van Sweringen interests of Cleveland, among those companizs owning no physical property but lolding stocks in several roads and nieriting “‘most serious attention.” The old Delaware & Hudson Company, backed by millions of dollars in cash resources and dom- inated by L. I". Loree, the Chesa- peake Company, another Van Swec- ingen organization, the Consolidatel Shares Corporation of New York, The Virginian Company and others are among the groups 1o be v tigated as the committee seeks in- formation upon which to base legis lation. CANADIAN MEASURE MEETS OPPOSITION both the Export Liquor Bill Avousts De: bate in Senate Chamber Ottawa, April 2 (P—Opposition to the government bill to prohibit the export of liguor into the Uniteld SNtates was voiced in the senate last night when the measure came up for second reading. A proposal by Scnator Willoug' by that a special senate committe: secure information as to the prob- able effect of the bill on Canada’s national and cconomic life and on international relations met with op- position from Senator Dandurand. government leader, who refused ‘o accept the amendment. Willoughby said while he belie’- ed in the most friendly relatioas between the two countries, he did not think Canada should be too generous, declaring that the Vol- stead act was not being well en- forced and that a straw vote now being taken in the United States showed opposition to it. Senator Dandurand, replying said "he question of loss to private in- dividuals or to the government is but a faint intcrest in my mind when I am facing a problem of national morality.” POLICE DISPERSE CROWD Budapest.

The Russian scientific leaders, in a letter published in Moscow March 26, challenged the pope to reveal the ler, Bruno and other scientists whose writings, they charged, were con- cealed in secret inquisition archives at the Vatican. Deny All Charges “We deny, first, that the pope ever made any declaration affirming that sclentists were persecuted in the Soviet union” said the Osservatore paper said, concluding: 1 “It is most strange, thercfore, astronomers that an international commission of astronomers be per- mitted to study the precious docu- ments preserved in the secret archives of the Vatican.” SATIN RIBBON CLUE IN CHICAGO DEATH Woman Apparently Strangled by Thief—Found by Hushand P — A was the black latest Chicago, April 12 satin ribbon today addition to the list of instruments of death and the chief clue in the strange slaying of young Mrs. Mil- dred Helsing. Her body was found by her hus- band, Reuben C. Helsing, when he returned home from work last night. Around her neck was knot- ted a black satin ribbon he had never seen before. strangled By Thief? Several things, Including bruises on the face and wrists and the ab- sence of her pocketbool, indicated she had been strangled by a thief whom she surprised at work. But there were several other points and which puzzled police in their search for a solution today. No sounds of a struggle were heard by othet tenants in the apart- ment building in which the Helsings lived—not even by the woman in the apartment below. who said she was home all day. This neighbor, Mrs. Sarah Hanlon, told police she heard the water running in the Hel- sing apartment about 2 o'clock and thought Mrs. Helsing was washing clothes, The only persons saw g0 up the back stairs, was the negro janitor, George Riley, who was held by police, although he said e merely collceted the garbage and saw nothing suspicious. There were many signs of a struggle, including bruises on the woman's face and neck and on her wrist, from where her watch had been torn. Her slippers were lying in far corners of the room, as if they had been kicked off vigorously. Closc to the woman's head, how- ever, as the body lay on the floor, was a statuctte, unbroken and still standing. And the pins in her hair were not disarranged. Black Marks On Hands Police, were unable to account for the black marks on the inside of her hands, unless they were made while she struggled for the ribbon with which she was strangled. The ibbon was of the type women use to bind their hair, about two and a half inches wide. Mrs. Helsing, who was 26, was a former student at the University of llinois. Her husband graduated from the University of Nebraska. He was unable to shed much light on the slaying but he said that yester- day, for the first time since they were married a year and a half ago, failed to telephone him.

To satisty it, the largest, most effi- ciently equipped hard coal breaker in the world has just been added to the vast producing equipment of this company. Near Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania, Reading engineers found a swampy valley high in the hills but partly filled with a veritable mountain of refuse from old mining operations. So they THAT HEAI]INE ‘V,y,”RAQ\\% More READING s Needed” said, “Move Over, Mountain”, and moved it. The valley was filled and levelled. The side of Locust Mountain was stripped bare to expose for miles the Mammoth vein of hard coal to sup- ply part of the coal for the new breaker. The world’s largest hard coal breaker assures a plentiful supply for everyone who wants all the heat his money can possibly buy. Your coal merchant has Reading hard coal, or can get it.
