Verdict for AmtOrg

NEW YORK. May 81. - Over
the contention that the Amtorg
Trading Corporation is a sub
sidiary of the Soviet government
and as such has no right to
prosecute claim in the courts
of this country, the Appellate Di-
vision upheld a Judgment for
that company for $22,700 against
the New York Indemnity Com
pany. The suit arose out Of a
burglary in 1924 here when 1926

action pending on the Couzens
joint resolution.
The only mergers allowed under
the terms of the resolution would
be where carriers agreed to main
tain all existing through routes
and trade channels, to prevent
the dismissal of any employees
and to compensate all employees
for any losses or expenses in
Cured by such consultations.
These provisions led to consid-
erable opposition to the proposal
but adoption was forecast by the
vote of as to % by which the
Senate ordered consideration of
the measure.
Employees Protected
The provisions regarding pro-
lection of employees grew out of
a protest from labor union leaders
against the proposed Northern
Pacific Great Northern conSolida.
ton. This merger was also op-
posed on the ground that it
eliminated competition between
two strong parallel competing
roads, with serious damage to the
communities now being Serviced.
Representatives of the railroad
brotherhoodS argued that huge
losses were being borne by rail-
road workers due to conSolida-
tionS. They argued that over
200, 900 employees had been dis
missed in merging of roads in
the past with tremendous finan-
cial losses, and without gain 70
the public.
They insisted that consolida-
tions in the future should carry
some guarantee against such
losses to the employees and some
assurance of public benefit.
Short Lines Oppose
The resolution was opposed by
representatives of the short line
railroads on the grounds that it
would hurt weaker lines. 1t was
said that short lines would not
be purchased by the powerful rail-
roads under such CONDITIONS and
that it would require a general
national plan of consolidation be-
fore such mergers would occur in
the future if the resolution was
adopted.
The measure carried one pro-
vision prohibiting consultations,
unificationS or the exercise Of
common control over railroads by
holding companies. This pro-
vision met with widespread Ap-
proval. even the representatives
of railroad companies, not owned
by such holding companies, ap-
proving it.
Trust Laws Applied
Another proviso that may lead
to considerable debate would
apply the antitrust laws to rail-
road consultations. A number
of Senators have indicated they
felt this should not be done be-
cause it would prevent some
consultations that might be OF
public benefit.
There were rumorS the present
resolution might be modified to
require only Senate approval. At
present it stands as a joint reSo-
luton, requiring the approval of
both House and Senate. 1t was
thought that a simple resolution
would be just AS binding on the
Interstate Commerce Commission
as a new law

UNIT { D CORP.
NAMES FIVE

NEW YORK, May 81. - Chief
executive officers of the five prin
cipal companies in which United
Corporation has its interests were
elected directors of United today
This increased the board of di
rectors from five to ten members
The new directors are Floyd l.
Carlisle, head of F. L. Carlisle and
Company and airman OF
Niagara Hudson Power; B. c.
Cobb, chairman of Commonwealth
and Southern; Philip G. GoSSler
president of Columbia Gas and
Electric; Thomas M. McCarter,
president of Public Service of New
Jersey, and John E. Zimmerman
chairman of United Gas Improve
ment.
Four Bankers
The election of the additional
directors, all of whom are practical
utility operating men, is regarded
as a step toward the stabilization
of United Corporations vast in,
tereStS in the utility field.
Heretofore the board of direc.
tors consisted of four bankers and
one lawyer, namely George H
Howard, president: Thomas S.
Gates, of Drexel & Co.; Albert L.
Loomis. Of Bonbright & Co.; Ian
don X. Thorne, of Bonbright &
Co., and George F.. Whitney, of
Morgan & Co.
The election of the additional
directors of the board of United
consequently, is regarded as g
rather significant move on it
part. In utility circles the view
was expressed that United here
after would concentrate more or
the properties in which it already
has tremendous investments.
Exchanged Shares
United Corporation recently
has strengthened its position II
the companies wherein it has
large holdings through an ex
change of its shares for stock ir
the operating companies.
The most recent offer was
made to Columbia Gas and Elec
trio shareholders. Several of the
large stockholders in Columbis
Gas already have deposited their
stock for exchange, and the full
25 per cent of Columbia Gas
stock outstanding is expected tt
be deposited shortly.

poration increased it's holdings II

tions. They believe the selling
movement is all over.
Public Utilities
The boss" of one of the
largest investment trusts said
late yesterday that the downward
movement had run it's course,
and that the market would be-
gin today to develop an up-trend.
He also expressed the opinion
that the public utility shares
would offer the best speculative
opportunities. Judging from the
developments of the last few
weeks. am inclined to take his
word for it.
Utilities, at any rate, continue
to show progress buSineSSWiSe. It
is logical to suppose that utility
stocks will improve marketwise.
Foreign Power
The selling movement yester-
day halted plans of powerful
interests for one of the best-di-
recCeQ SCOCK movements OF the
year. A responsible group was
all set to put American and
Foreign Power above IS from the
previous close around 80. AS mat
ters turned out. the crowd did
pretty we'll in closing the stock
with only a small fractional loss.
Those who follow public utilities
closely declared that Public Serv-
ice of New Jersey at yesterdays
low was selling at gift price"
Consolidated Gas
At current price. around 1875,
consider Consolidated Gas one of
the outStandingly attractive stocks
on the list, for either investor or
speculator, for the long pull. I
believe holders of this issue will
garner huge profits resulting from
eventual merger developments.
For short turns I favor purchase
of the. stock because it is at un-
warranted levels and should move
up S to 10 points within the next
couple Of weeks.

BRANCH B A n K
VIEWS SEEN
CHANGED .

NEW YORK, May 81. Mod
ification Of the attitude of bank
ers on the long disputed branch
banking question is forecast in
a review and report covering
group, chain and branch bank
ing developn ents prepared by
the economic policy commission
of the American Bankers Asso-
citation and made public here
yesterday by the chairman, r. S.
Hecht, president Hibernia Bank
and Trust Company, New Or
leans.
The report, however, after re-
ferring to the proposal of Comp
troller of the Currency j. w.
Pole that national banks be given
branch banking powers within
the trade areas surrounding their
places of operation, states:
I'VE do not believe that So
called 'trade-area' branch bank
ing is likely to gain the sup
port Of any large percentage
Of the banking fraternity"
The report continues:
"The economic policy COM
mission feels that the most
important development that has
affected American banking in
recent years involves the rapid
growth Of m ultiple banking or
ganizatiOns in the form Of
group, chain and branch bank
ing systems. We present this
report as an unprejudiced eco
nOmic study and have no theO-
ries or policies to urge at this
time"
RAPID iChangeS
Rapid changes in the banking
world along the lines Of failures,
voluntary liquidations, amalgama-
tions and new organizations have
caused substantial changes in
respect both to group and chain
banking, as we'll as to individual
unit banking, during the past six
months, the report declares. 1t
continues as follows:
"A great many larger group
organizations have taken in
not only many additional unit
banks, but also a number Of
smaller bank groups as
whole. There have also been
numerous consultations be-
tween strong bank groups.
Furthermore, many instances
have come to our attention
where consultations of groups
have been followed by cOnsOli-
datiOns within the group Of
banks that duplicated or over
supplied facilitie3 in given To-
calitieS.
These have been factors
tending toward stronger, more
compact banking, whether from
the angle of individual unit
banking or from that of group
or chain organizations.
Study Continues
at Is the intention Of the
economic policy commission to
continue to develop its own
studies in these questions, to
watch carefully every move that
is made and every bit Of infOr-
nation that may develop in this
connection and keep itself pre-
pared to give the association an
unbiased and accurate statement
Of the facts of the case when
ever that is desired.
'In the meantime we do not
hesitate to venture the opinion
that the association in the not
distant future will have to
modify the position it has taken
in the branch banking problem,
although we do not believe that
SO-called 'trade-area' branch
banking is likely to gain the
support Of any large percentage
of the banking fraternity"
