THAT GOOD WILL PARTY
 (Valdez News MinOr)

Two or three weeks ago, or pos sihly it was three or four, a party arrived in Valdez, which dubbed it, self good will' party. It WIS made up, as far as we have been able to learn, of members of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and tho Young Mems Business Club of Se- attle.
 Naturally, considering they wero businessmen from Seattle, and that they had dubbed the trip one of good will we rather anticipated they were coming North to express in some form or other their apprc- citation for the loads of coin they have milked the Territory out of during the last 30 years, but we were fooled.
 When the steamer with the party tied up at the wharf here we found a vociferous bunch in fantastic at, tire, and we gained the idea that here was a bunch trying to show the hicks how cute the city cut-up could be when he set out to exert himself. However, we were inform
The Alaska fisherman., 1928-08-15

ed that they had been having a masquerade dance on the ship and we revised our opinion on the party.
 We thought, of course, that upOu landing these business men would at once get in touch with the mer- chants and that conversation something like this would occur. How are you Mr. Merchant? We're mighty glad to meet you personalIE and assure you we appreciate tf.7 business you have given us. Ha$ tl>ere been any dissatisfaction with our goods or our service? Come on down to the boat; I've got bot tie of good stuff and we'll have a little drink to continue good fellow ship. Oh no, nothing like that or- cured, so far as we can find out.
 Of course they wanted to take the canyon trip, what do you suppo53 Fcy came North for. What, pa5 for it, 1 should say not ! Hasn't ti;e City Council, knowing we were cor. ing, appropriated funds for our en tertainment?
 This is the first time it has eve: come to our notice where the sellej expected the buyer to do the enter t1ining. But that's the true Seattle st irit Since then we have beer wondering where the "gOOd wilP' came in, but it was only couple of days ago that we hit upon what we believe is the solution. We think they had really agreed among them selves before leaving Seattle that they would not charge Alaskans any thing for entertaining them-a truly characteristic expression of Seattle's good will.

REGULATION OF
POWER LINES TO
BE- SUGGESTED
Existence of Twilight
Zone" Revealed During
Senate's Probe.
BY CECIL OWEN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)

Omitted Press Staff CorrespoIueLt)
WASHINGTON, June 5,-Legis
lation providing for federal regula-
tion of public utilities transmitting
power across state lines is expected
to be sought as Il result of the fed
rral trade commission S power in
vestigation.
Existence of a "twilight zone -
in regulation whereby utilities dis
t;ibuting their power across state
boundary escape any control by
either Il state or federal authority,
already has been developed in
testimony.
When the commission reaches the
financial phase of its inquiry, how
ever, this situation will be disclosed
in greater detail, and probably will
cause Congress to act, it was learn
ed today.
Some of the original congression-
al supporters of the inquiry are
prepared to foster the move for
regulatory law.
! While the commission attaches
importance to its present publicity
probe, which has shown national
, propaganda campaign through
newspapers, schools, lectures, libra,
ries, colleges and other media, it is
believed the utilities financial
structures will be of greater
economic value.
Fear Governing Body
1t is unlikely that the commission
will make any recommendation to
Congress for stricter regulation of
Utilities, but will merely transmit
the record of the testimony and its
conclusions.
That the utilities themselves are
J eenly aware of this twilight
zone between state and federal
regulation was revealed in tcsti-
mony of Josiah T. Newcomb, coun-
sci of the joint committee of nat
ionnl utilities associations.
lie said the subject was of deep
est interest to the utilities, and they
are fearful lest body similar to
the interstate commerce commission,
which regulates railroads, be cstab-
lished for utilities.
Mentioning that the supreme
court has decided that state com
missions have no authority over
utilities transmitting power across
state lines, Judge Robert f.. Healy,
commission chief counsel, asked
Newcomh if such 4 twilight zone in
regulation did not exist.
" Nobody doubts it, =" Ncwcomh
replied, but he contended the states,
by acting jointly, could deal ade-
quatcly with the problem Of rcgulat-
ing Interstate commerce in power
