Federal Regulation of Util- ity Holding Companies Is Inevitable Say These Men-HOOver Declared Openly Against It
BY. RAYMOND CHAPTER Copyright, 1882, By United Press)


 Washington, Sept 23-(UP)- Federal regulation of utility hold ing companies as advocated by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt in his Portland, Ore, speech is regard ed as inevitable by some of the most influential men in the indus try. ..
 The InsuIl failure and the trail of disclosures now unfolding in its wake have precipitated the issue in a way that cannot be escaped, these men feel. Their chief con- cern now is to see that such regu- iation is equitable" as they phrase it.
 This viewpoint was voiced in a frank but unQuotable talk here with one of the men who has been power industry.
 Regardless of the election out come, the question is expected to come up next winter and be agit- ated in congress until federal reg ulation of holding companies is a fact. The real struggle appears likely to be one to determine how strict such regulations shall be- whether 1t shall be strong or weak regulation.
 This power group is critical of Governor Roosevelt's declaration in favor of federal development of the Columbia river hydro-electric pro- iect. They allege 1t would cost per haps s400,000,00O and set up pow CT production that will not be need ed in that region for fifty years Otherwise they offered no specific

New York, Sept 23.-UP)- William Beebe, explorer, to-day held a new record for sub-sea de- scent, 2,200 feet, almost half a mile, as we'll as weird picture of un- known fish with headlights.
 The explorer made his venture into uncharted ocean depths in the "Bathysphere," an alright ball, with the inventor, Otis Bartin, yes- terday off Bermuda. A word pie turc of the feat with Beebe describ- ing what he saw was broadcast.
 Peering through tiny window in the "bathysphere," Beebe re- ported it dark as Hades" at one instant, then "very brilliant" the next. Iridescence of passing tropical fish provided light by which he could study rare marine specimens. Some of these even had double lights, faintly resemb- ling the headlights of an approach ing motor car.

IOWA FARMERS CONDEMN HOOVER

Midwest Farm Strike Now
 Claims 100000 Adher- ents in Minnesota Alone

Des Moines, Ia, Sept 23-(UP)- The midwest farm strike which now claims 100000 adherents in Minnesota in addition to thousands of other farmers in the rich cen- tral agricultural lands was encour- aged to-day by endorsement of the Iowa Farmers Union. The move ment was also praised by Rep Ed gar Howard, democrat, Nebr.
 After commenting the farm strike as a means of raising prices of agricultural commodities, the Iowa Farmers Union adopted a re- solution condemning President Hoover for stubborn opposition t., legislation which would have pre-

 Roosevelt Speech

criticism of Roosevelts utility speech.
 The power interests have under gone a change of front since the Insull exposures. They are disposed to make the IHsulls the scapegoats for recent criticism of the power industry such as Roosevelt voiced at Portland, Ore.
 They are bitter. because they feel the Insulls have brought down na- tion-wide suspicion of holding com pany operations and forced the is- sue of federal regulation.
 President Hoover and the repub- lican platform endorse fdeeral regulation of interstate public util- ities, but say nothing on holding companies. MT Hoover in his &C., ceptance speech declared unqual- ifedly against government opera ton of the power business.
 Governor Roosevelt and the democratic platform advocate reg u:ation of interstate power produc- ing companies and the holding companies and their securities. Roosevelt,-butn not the democratic platform,-declares for the right of the public to operate it's own utilities where necessary.
 Insull Favorites
 Chicago, Sept 23-(UP)-A list of favored insiders" who were al- lowed to purchase stock below market price in the Samuel Insult Utilities Investments, Inc, was made public to-day coincident with a court announcement the concern was bankrupt. Corporation Securi- ties Co, a sister investment trust, also was adjudged bankrupt and hope was gone that investors in the tain any return.
 The 205 names on the list of per- sons given the favor of purchasing securities which to-day are worth less included owen D. Young, cap italist, Rosa Raisa, opera star; South Trimble. clerk of the house president of General Electric; and scores of figures prominent in Chi cago business and financial life.
 The list was believed to be but one of a series including total of scribe for Insull stock at prices be- the open market.
 The group was offered Insull Utilities stock at SIP a share. The stock was brought out at $50 in 1929 and did not drop below that figure during the year. It had q peak quotation of $149.
 The general belief in investment circles was that those on the fa- vorcd list have little but losses to show for what was deemed privi- lcge.

the sale of this years crop for as long a period as possible.
 A foundation for. plan of orderly marketing of the 1882 crop already exists, 1t was pointed out, in the holding movement of many southern farmers, who are keeping their cotton off the mar ket in the hope that the August highs, when the staple was sell ing for 9 cents pound, again be reached.
 Those farmers who are not in a position to held off the market ing of their crop,. according to the reported plan, will be helped to carry it over for a time. That is where the banks would step in with loans, 1t was suggested, up to 80 per cent of the value of cot ton that is carried open and up to 90 per cent of the value of hedged cotton,

 The Iowa Union blamed low prices for farm products as a prime cause of unemployment and charged the administration with aiding and assisting in the expioita- ton of the farmer.
 Leaders of the farm strike said the movement was spreading, though little effect was noted in receipts at livestock and grain markets. They have asked all farm CTS to cooperate by withholding nonperishable products from mar ket. They seek to avoid violence which characterized previo u . blockades of Iowa markets.

Painful Piles
Go Quick-No Cutting-No saIvcs

Go Quick-No Cutting-No Salvcs
 Itching. bleeding or protruding piles go quickly and don't come back, if you really remove the cause. Bad blood circulation in the lower bowel and hemorrhoidal veins causes piles by making the affected parts weak, fabby, almost dead. Salves and suppositories fail because only an internal medicine that stimulates the circulation and drives out the impure blood can actually correct the cause of piles. pr J. s. Leonhardt discovered a real internal Pile remedy. After prescribing it for 1000 patients with success in over 900 cases, he named it HEM-ROID. Apothe- carries Hall Co and druggists every where sell HEM-ROID Tablets with guarantee they will end your Pile misery or money back.

New York, Sept 23-(UP)-A far-reaching plan to put cotton permanently back on it's throne and restore prosperity among the farmers of the south today was reported under discussion in the cotton trade.

A Hard Fought Convention Desireable.
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 In Massachusetts Governor Franklin D. Roose- welt has encountered his first defeat in long series of primary battles His very mediocre showing In Pennsylvania may almost be construed as another defeat Himself an Fastener, Roosvelt finds that his strength is ironicaly in the West and South Along the seaboard the blunt honesty and uncom- promising wetness of Alfred E. Smith too much for the New York Executive.
 Sectional differences we have always had in America and nowhere have they been more con spcuous than in the internecne quarrels ot the Democratic Party A few months ago the insurgency of the West and Southwest appeared the maJor threat against the favortes entered in the Demo- cratic race. Today it is the grim determination of the East to prevent Roosevelts nomination that claims attention.
 Roosevelt now has more than majority of the votes in the convention. It is possible that he will be the choice after a few perfunctory ballots Yet the impetus given to the anti-Roosevelt faction by Alfred Smiths success could easily build up bloc strong enough to prevent his nomination under the wo-thirds rule.
 bitter fight in convention is usually regarded as ruinous for the Democratic Party. Yet only through the sharp debate and blunt argument Of factional quarrel does there develop an honest platform and a candidate whose choice is a real answer to a national emergency Conflict and com promise are the basic pattern of politics. stero- typed convention is sure proof of the fundamental unreality of party and a hard-fought convention is conversely the indication that some gain has been registered

Eddie can fly plane, but when he tried to drive Georgie and her cousin, Jenny away from the City Hall, he became entangled with a bus. Jenny reads in paper which Garth Agency, whom she likes, she thinks hopelessly = buys for her that she, instead of Georgie, is believed to be mar ried. Georgie has carried out her plan of keeping her mar riage secret, by saying that it is Jenny who has married Ed die, which is possible since they both have the same name.

CHAPTER IS. MRS. TOWNSEND?

will that be all Miss?"
 Yes said Georgie briskly. That will be all and thank you very much, Mrs Hale, for putting in such magnificent days work. Here's a weeks money and ref erence-you see I've said that I only part with you because I need someone who can come for the whole day and cook me a late dinner"
 Thank you miss. I'm sure l quite understand Mrs. Hale fold ed up the reference and put it with the money into her worn purse. Her button-brown eyes roved to- wards the little room that had been a mere glory and was now brave with washed paint, stained floor and furniture taken from Georgie's room.
 "It's wonderful what a differ ence some kinds of changes makes in a place" said Mrs. Hale, and with a sly little smile she pat tered out of the tiny hall.
 Georgie flushed, shrugged, gath cred up the curtain material and went into her own room. There had been some kinds of chang es" here, too. The disputed velour curtains had been sewn and hung by Jenny after all, and at top speed, there was whole new suite of furniture. fashioned from an ash-gray wood with a lovely, swirl ing grain in it and inlaid with ebony.
 On the bed were piled boxes and boxes and boxes. just arrived; all of a silvery striped cardboard; aul tied with jade-colored string; all stamped "Parfaite"
 Her trousseau. Georgie had not yet dared tell Jenny about it. Only last night they had agreed that she needed nothing but a new hat for her wedding. This morning, on her way to City Hall she had torn into Parfaite's to see about it-and perhaps just a bag to go with it-and by all evil chances Madame had shown her an ensem- ble from a cancelled outfit. Made for Ginevra Moule's first season but her mother has died and only the white tennis dresses can be used. I'm taking everything else off her hands. Your measurements exactly, Miss Reven, your coloring. your initial on the lingerie. And I would make certain reduction.
 It was not in the end, reduc- tion worth mentioning, and Mad anne would have liked rather lar- ger check on account. But, thank Heavens, the salary would cover it all in the end!-that exceptional salary for that exceptional job.
 She went humming, into the living room. She had had the sense to leave the room much as it always was; a cheerful, chintzy muddle. On a table now was the sewing machine Jenny had borrow ed from the janitor's niece; the telephone stood amidst litter Of scissors, curtain rings and tape. Poor little Jenny, how exhausted she had looked when she had fi- nally crept off an hour ago to the hotel. Better ring up presently and see if she were all right. It would have been kinder, perhaps, to keep her here for the night i; but this was one of the rare oc-
