CABARET QUEEN EXPERTS CLEAR
JAILED AGAIN HOLDING FIRM

The experts of the Federal
Trade Commission have initiated
their probe into the So-called
vicious circle" of holding COM
panies in the power field by paint
ing the North American syndicate
as an efficient and conServattVely
managed corporation.
These two economists are E. A.
Lundvan, whose report on the fl
nanciaI methods of the North
American has vindicated it of
charges of "pyramiding and jug
Cling" and ]. G. Dickerman,
whose review of its relations with
its subsidiaries and operating
branches has been extremely IA
vOrabIe to it.
It is possible that, when the
financial operations of certain OF
it's subsidiaries are gone into, in
cluding the North American-Ed'
ison Company, a different story
may be told.
The growth of the North Amer
can Company in the past ten
years has been due chiefly to its
habits of eliminating cash divi'
dends, as far aspossible. and
turning all cash earnings back
into the company, while issuing
additional stock against this in
creased capitalization.
Shareholders receive this addi'
tional stock, which can be con-
verted into cash at any time
through a subsidiary corporation,
owned by Harrison Williams, con-
trolling influence in the entire
North American holding com
pany Set-up.

FLEES LOBBY
AS VICTIM
SCREAMS
Caroline R. Arnold Surprised
BY Intruder Who FIees Hotel
When She Screams for Help

A vicious assault on a young
woman guest in a fashionable
hotel only two blocks from the
White House today is the latest
development in the current crime
wave.
Miss Caroline r. Arnold, 30
year-old enploye of an informa7
tion service located in a down
town department store, was the
victim Of the brutal assault by
the mysterious intruder.
Leaves By Main Exit
Beaten over the head by a
length of pipe, Miss Arnold man
aged to scream and frighten off
the assailant, who walked calmly
out the main entrance of the
hotel.
Mystery surrounds the motive
for the assault. as the intruder
did not take Miss Arnold's purse,
which was in plain sight and con-
bdlI1Cu Quill VI AhO11CJ.
The assault took place early
last night in the POwhatan HO-
tel, Eighteenth Street and Penn
sylvania Avenue, where Miss AZ.
mold has resided since coming to
Washington several months ago.
Asked Who Was There
Police have run down all slen-
der clues which they could OBJ
tain. but have been unable to
find any trace of the asSailant.
Miss Arnold was alone in her
room last night when she heard
a knock on the door. Believing it
to be Miss Eve Lumsted. her
romomate, Miss Arnold started
for the door and then asked who
was there.
A mans voice said that it was
q deliveryman with q package.
AS she was expecting a package,
Miss Arnold opened the door.
Hit Her On Head
Miss Arnold said she saw a
young man about 80 years old
standing there holding short
piece of pipe.
He grabbed her with one hand
and struck her over the head
with the pipe.
Miss Arnold screamed and he
continued to strike her, inflict-
ing a number of wounds. Finally,
evidently afraid her screams
would bring help, the man let go
her arm and ran down stairs.
A few moments later taXicab
driver saw a figure answering the
description of the intruder walk
calmly from the main entrance of
the hotel.
No Trace of Him Found
Police took the driver with
them while they cOmbed the
neighbOrhOOd.
Miss Arnold refused hospital
treatment and had her wounds
dressed by doctor in the hotel.
She told police that she has
not an enemy in the world.
Grafton Alexander, a bell boy,
told police he saw a man answer
ing the general description of
the assailant in the hall on the
floor above Miss Arnold's room
about 20 minutes before the beat
ing.
Believed Hotel Guest
He said he thought he was
guest and paid no attention to
him.
The intruder is described as
being about feet inches tall,
weighing 13O pounds and wearing
o light coat and brown hat.

 But best of all, rotary traffic control makes for safety. The re- ports show that there are compar- atively few accidents at rotary circles. Those which have oc- cured usually are found to be due to the recklessness of some opera f0rp
