CITIES SERVICE FINANCE POLICY
 IS UNDER FIRE
Senate Committee Told Big Utility Used $l ,000,000-
 900 to Bolster Stock

WASHINGTON, April G. = Evi- dence that the Cities Service Com pany obtained more than one bil- lion dollars from American inves- tors during the boom days and used most of it to maintain the price of it's stock was before the Senate Banking Committee today as it began a drastic revision of the Stock Market bill in an exe- cutive session.
 This evidence, made public to- day, was given in testimony by Robert E. Healey. Chief Counsel of the Federal Trade Commission.
 Price Kept Up
 Healey said the utility company drew one billion one hundred and forty-six million dollars from in- vestors in the boom years and used almost one billion dollars to keep up the price of the stock. He told a vivid story of a high presseure sales campaign conducted by the company while it maintained the market price by market operations.
 The proposed market regulation bill will end such practices, Coun- sel Healey said.
 The Federal Trade Commission, Healey further said. has uncovered write-ups of assets of industrial corporations totalling more than one billion one hundred and fifty million dollars.

ALASKA FLIGHT
WILL BROADEN
]. {. DEFENSE
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
International News Service Staff
COrFeSpOndent

With the Far East regarded as
one Of the danger zones in which
the next war may start, the
American Government today
moved forward with plans which
would facilitate preparations to
make the Pacific Coast impeg-
nable against an enemy attack.
The plans all conferred on
Alaska. considered in military cir
Giles the one weak spot in the
national defense works Of the
Pacific Coast.
Scans Air Plans
The program consisted Of a
visit to Alaska by Secretary of
Commerce Roper: q massed for
nation of 10 crack Army bombers
across Canada to Fairbanks,
Alaska, early in July. and a coast
wise flight of IL naval seaplanes,
accompanied by four warships, to
Dutch Harbor, Alaska, the middle
of next month.
One Of the announced purposes
Of Secretary Roper's visit to
Alaska will be to study the posi-
bilitieS for aviation development
there and methods of developing
communications with the United
States. He has already left for
Alaska.
Training exercises to determine
ability of the Nays patrol sea-
planes to operate along the Paci-
fic Coast under any circum-
stances" forms the chief purpose
of the proposed flight of the sea-
planes.
Want To Be Sure
Secretary Swanson said there
were no immediate plans for es-
tabliShment of a naval air base at
Alaska, but that in the event of
trouble in the Pacific "every inch
of American territory would be
guarded as far as possible"
Military operations by the great
circle route from Alaska would
cut off nearly 1000 miles in the
distance from the Pacific Coast
to the Orient and also strengthen
the defense position of the United
States along the northern end of
the coast.

helped our situation any to
have repudiated that same

people who bought the Liberty
bonds in order that the money
might be loaned to England in
her extremity"
Diminishing this alternative as
ar "impossibility," Mr.. Farley
added:
"HOw many Of you would
have been willing or able to
pay the British tax rateS?"
Although chief patronage dis
penser in his joint capacity as
Cabinet member and National
Democratic chairman, Mr.. Farley

recent declaration that he was
unaware of the political affilia-
tionS Of many members of his
Administration.
MANY Of the people in key
positions in the various agen-
cies that are administering the
