FEDERAL TRADE
COMMISSION TO
PROBE MERGER
Sweeping Investigation of
General Motors and Steel
Ordered

WASHINGTON, July 29 Up = A
sweeping inquiry into the relation.
ship between the E. l. DUPONT De
Nemours company, The General
Motors and the United States Steel
corporation was ordered today by
The federal trade commissions.
The investigation will be conducted
by the chief economist and will go
directly to the question of the prob
able economic consequences of a
community of interest among the
three largest industrial corporations
N the United States. Upon the re-.
port of the economist will depend
future action by the commission.
The move of the commission, which
came wholly unexpectedly, was upon
notion of Commissioner A. F. Myers,
the newest member of the trade
regulatory body. In its resolutions
directing the inquiry, the commits
sion called attention that the pub
lished financial reports of the De-
Pont company showed that it had a
large investment in the stock of the
General Motors corporation.
The resolution also recited that it
had been currently reported in the
press that the Dupont concern re-
Gently had acquired a large holding
in the capital stock of the steel
corporation with the expectation of
having a number of directors in that
organization as it now has in Cen
eral motors.
The establishment of q community
of interest among these three cor
porations, was declared to be "a
matter of public concern" The
commission then called attention to
its authority of law to inquire into
the organization business, conduct,
practices and management of co..
porations generally
This inquiry promises to be the
most extensive the commission has
conducted since it investigated the
"Big Five" meat packers several
years ago by direction of President
Wilson. AS result, of that inquiry,
the packers finally entered into a
consent decree with the government
whereby they agreed to divest them
selves of unrelated lines Of business
which they had aquired or built up
over a series OF years.
The resolution adopted by the
commission follows:
Whereas it appears from publish
ed financial reports of the E. T.
DUPONT De Nemours company that
it has a large investment in Che
stock of the General Motors cor
poration, and:
whereas it is currently reported
in the press that the said Du Pont
company has recently acquired III
the capital stock of the United States
Steel corporation, that it expects to
have @ number of directors repre-
senting its interests elected to the
board Of the latter company, and ir
other ways to develop a close cor
porate connection among them, and;
whereas, the establishment of g
community of interests among these
three corporations, which are reput-
ed to be among the largest indus
trial corporations in this country, is
matter OF public concern, and

In letter to Thomas Norris,
chairman Of the committee of the
State Good Roads association, first
made public in Douglas, Governor
Hunt has shown himself in the
TO the legislature on highway legis-
lation, which puts himself in the
position of being willing to accept
highway commission if the legis-
lature can select five names as mem
hers from list of 46 names sub
mitted.
The text of the letter dated July
26, 1927, to Mr.. Norris, is as fol-
lows:
"In connection with the visit of
yourself, as chairman OF the COM
nittee of the State Good Roads as
sociation, and your associates, the
memorandum which you handed me

Gibson Tells Great Britain's
Delegates Proposals Are
Unacceptable

RAPID CITY, S. D., July 20, Up
Proposals of Great Britain at the
troubled Geneva naval ornaments
conference call for larger navy than
President Coolidge will sanction
That is the main obstacle in the
conference in the opinion of the presi-
dent who will not agree to the pro-
gram calling for construction of a
greater navy when he had hoped the
conference would bring about an un-
derstanding for reduction of arma-
mentS.
Still hopeful that further discuss
ions may bring about notifications in
the British proposal, Mr.. Coolidge, is
plainly determined not to accept the
terms now presented by that scoun-
try
It was recalled today at the execu-
tive office that the president invited
Great Britain and Japan into con-
ference for the purpose of eventual
ly bringing about a reduction in the
size of the navies of the nations in
volved and a consequent saving in ex-
pense.
More important, he thought, would
be the development of peace, good will
and better understanding among the
nations which in turn naturally would
aid in the reduction of ornaments and
in the burden of taxes.
But so far, Mr.. Coolidge interprets
the expressed desires of Great Britain
as calling for construction of a larger
navy than this nation is willing to
build. If no agreement is reached at
the parley, which reports indicate are
now on its dying legs, the president
has no plans for the future. He regards
the situation as status quo. :
DiSagreemefts, in the conference
about tonnage of cruisers and calibre
of guns are considered by Mr.. Cool
idge as only collateral to the main is
sue about the size of navy which
England would require this country to
build under its proposals.
This is the first time that anything
but expressions of optimism has come
from the summer White House since
the naval parley opened more than a
month ago 1t comes as the conference
appears to be heading toward a
break up with Great Britain and
this country deadlocked

Grated today that Mr. Coolidge has

Semple Mcpherson, who last night
announced her intention of resigning
as pastor of Angelus Temple and
hoped that she would be able to
leave for world evangelical work with
in two weeks, today had retreated
somewhat from that position, de-
ciaring that her Los Angeles flock
insisted that she spend most of
her time with them.'
She said there was "no thought of
immediate change"
Meanwhile, her mother, Mrs. Min.
nie Kennedy, with whom the evangel-
ist has had a lengthy squabble over
temple finances, saw a diaboIIcal
conspiracy to oust both Of them
from the leadership of the huge
religious enterprise and traced it
back to the daughters kidnapping
story of a year ago.
'This diabolical conspiracy to GUST
both mother and daughter from this
wonderful temple started irnmedl-
ately after the kidnapping trial" Mrs
Kennedy declared Through dark
and devious methods it mas sought
its evil ends, never once coming &.At

ment (referring to Mrs. McPherSon's
of last night announcing she would
resign, that sister finally admits
that outside influences are pushing,

said from the start. I've known it
for months"
The evangelist's kidnapping story
was made as the explanation of her
disappearance on May Is, last year,
from Santa Monica Beach, and her
turning up in the Mexican border
town of Douglas, Ariz., June %,
more than a month later. She de-
clared she had been held by three
kidnapers.
