NEW. YORK, April 1s.-Calvin

CORPORATIONS they can act as
watchdogs for the small outside
investors.
Legal Set.Up
The legal set-up of corporations
has not yet been changed to take
cognizance of the wider diffusion
Of conpany ownership, but forward
looking companies might well open
up one or more directorates for di-
rect representation of outside small
stockholders. They could be desig-
mated as public directors, who
would be independent OF the man
agement and of the controlling in.
terests. The public directors, IL
they sought to be helpful, ought
not ordinarilyto be obstructionists,
but ought to make an Independent
eheck.up on the powers that be in
order to make sure that the inter-
ests of the outside stockholders
were wisely served.
II the idea of public directors
were to succeed, men of outstand-
ing capacity and reputation ought
to be chosen. Mr.. Coolidge of
course would be ideally suited for
such a purpose. But there would
not be enough ex.Presi1ents to go
around, If the custom became gen.
eral. Retired financiers, such as
Frank A. Vanderlip and Ber.

singuIarly equipped for such ser.

holders interests, and William z.
Ripley Harvard economist, has
recognized a similar need.
In advocating such a reform,
Ripley pointed out:
What an advantage it would
be to the perplexed and isolated
little shareholder, under such cir
cumstances, to have a dependable
source of advice. constitutionally
set up, to serve as a channel
of communication between the
management and the owners!
And to the management. the bene.
fit might be equally important.
Through such an avenue a de-
mand for further information
might find satisfaction, as a pre-
cedent to approval or to denial
of any action proposed; or, con-
trariwise, the full warrant for
continuation of the existing status
might be made plain to the great
body of those who have the right

ARLINGTON coming
BODY IS OvERRULED
County Supervisors Give Per-
mission to Erect RossIyn
Oil Tanks.
BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. Va, September Boy vote
of to l the Board of County Super
visors today overruled a recommended
ton of the Arlington County zoning
Commission, with respect to the ap-
plication of the Sun Oil Co. of Phila-
delphia, to locate large oil storage and
distributing plant on the Lee Highway
in RoSslyn. BY this action the COM
pany will be allowed to locate the
plant at the point in question.
The decision was followed by a burst
Of indignation on the part of the nearby
residents and of large delegation of
members of the Organized Woman
Voters of Arlington County, who were
present for the hearing. Threats against
the future political chances of either
Supervisor B. M. Hedrick of Arlington
district or Supervisor Edward Duncal
of Jefferson district were hurled at
them by various women as they passed
through the door.
History of Case.
Some weeks ago the Sun Oil Co. pc
titioned the Arlington County Zoning
Commission to grant them permit for
the erection of the plant. After several
supervisors were present, the commission
voted to diSapprove the application. The
vote at that time was to 2. Mai. w.
r. Richards and Robert H. Forman vot-
ing to approve.
At this mornings meeting Supervisor
e. c. Turnburke made an eloquent plea
to the other two members of the COM
mission to uphold the coming commission
and the wishes of the nearby residents.
He followed this with a resolution along
the same lines, which was not seconded.
Immediately thereafter Hedrick made
motion to the effect that the minority
resolution Of the coming commission be
accepted and Duncan seconded the mo-
ton. passing the resolution.
The case of the Sun Oil Co. was
presented by Attorneys Charles T. Jesse
and Thomas Phillips. They presented
one resolution in favor of the location
of the plant. This was signed by the
Trust Co. of Northern Virginia.
Protests Are Read.
Resolutions protesting granting of the
permit signed by the Lyon Village
Citizens Association, Organized Women
Voters and several other organizations
were read by Capt. Crandall Mackey,
attorney for the opponents. Following
definite action by the board Capt.
Mackey stated that the action disre-
garded every interest of the county and
that the two members of the board
voting for it would be held politically
responsible at the next election.
