POWER HEARING
IS RESUMED

The Federal Trade Commission
today resumed hearings on the
so-called power trust" and took
testimony concerning the affairs
of the Carolina Power and Light
Company, both controlled by the
Electric Bond and Share Com
pany.
Robert j. Rider, commission ac-
countant, was the first witness.
Under an examination by Gen.
eral Counsel Robert E. Healy, he
testified that in 1929 81 per cent
Of the power purchased by the
Carolina Company was transmit
ted across the Virginia and Ten
neSSee State lines, while 81 per
cent of the energy was sold across
the State lines.
Riders testimony was designed
to show the percentage of busi.
ness which was unregulated by
State utilities commissions and
to establish the commission S
jurisdiction.
A connection between the Caro-
lima Company and the Duke
Power Company of Greenville,
N. c., was also shown by Riders
testimony. He declared the Car
olina Company exchanges energy
with the Duke Company, and
with the Appalachian Power
Company. The latter exchange
carries energy across North Car.
olina and Virginia State lines.

Chancellor Heinrich Bruening,

line of the revised financial pro

a strong hint that speedy dis

His chief hope. it was obvious,

other parties also in open oppo-

The new financial program as
outlined by Bruening is designed
to cover a billion mark deficit fac

Bonds Were. Traced -
It first came to light during
the prosecution Of the Teapot

Government counsel discovered a
deposit Of $230,000 in Liberty
bonds to the credit Of Fall and
his son.irslaw in a Pueblo, Colo,
bank. Later, these bonds were
traced and found to have been
purchased by the Continental
Trading Company, organized un-

A series Of inquiries revealed
that Harry F. Sinclair, Robert

the concern.

The only large body of water south
