OPPOSED THE
 GOVT. CONTROL

Hartford, Conn.,, Mar. 17(UP)- The New England Council today was opposed to government control of business corporations.
 Three resolutions, two of which direct officers of the council to take steps against such control. were adopted at the 34th quarter ly meeting of the organization here last night.
 The third resolution opposes use of $40,000,000 federal funds on the Passamaquoddy Bay tidal pow CT project in eastern Maine as "an example of unsound economic principle.''
 Amendment of the Securities Act of 1883 was approved. The act, the council voted, contains provisions which render impossible, in many cases, the issue of proper securi- ties by sound enterprises in need of capital.'

CAMBRIDGE WON
 GREAT BOAT RACE
 ON RIVER THAMES
Beat Oxford Crew To-day Easily = Won By
 Four Lengths

Putney on Thames, England, March IT - (UP) - Cambridge University's compactly knit varsity oarsmen today defeated Oxford $ valiant boatload giving the light blue it's eleventh consecutive vic- tory in England's annual crew classic on the river Thames.
 Except for the first few yards after leaving the starting line Cambridge led all the way. The Oxford crew broke away first but after the first few strokes the Contabs took command.
 The Cambridge crew was fully one length to the good when they swept under Hammersmith bridge. approximately 1 3-4 miles from the start, and gradually increased the advantage until they won by ap- proximate1y four lengths.
 Cambridge set a new record or 1S:03 for the course of slightly less than 1-2 miles.
 Cambridge last year established new record of consecutive tri- umphs by winning for tenth time and to-day's virtually one-sided victory, the eleventh, made a total that Oxford can almost never hope to equal.
 Because of difficulty with it's boat, illness of several memb bers of the crew and the frequent revisions of rowing order, the Cantabs en- tered the race distinctly underdogs in the betting.
 Oxford adherants among the l. 000,00O spectators which lined both banks of the "S'' shaped river course cheered madly at the out set when Oxford took the lead, and when, after the opening furry, the dark blue was still ahead, they hoped against hope that the great est upset in recent Oxford Cam bridge rowing history would be scored. But the Cambridge oarsmen soon settled down into steady pace and gratefully ate up the distance between them and the faster strok- ing light blue boat.
 Cambridge pulled all but even at Craven steps, about three-quar- ters of a mile out, and the rivals were dead level at the mile. Both chews were stroking smoothly here, with the Oxford stroke low cred slightly from the starting spurt. Cambridge began to creep away from Oxford at the mile mark, and was a good quarter of a length to the good at the Crab- tree, 1 IA miles out.
 From this point forward it seem ed that only disaster in the Cam bridge boat could bring the victory to Oxford and thus it was virtual ly merely a matter of waiting to see by how much the favored Cam bridge crew would win.
 Cambridge had a length of clear water to the good at Hammer smith Bridge just short of the g. mile mark, and the Cox called for a slightly lower beat. Oxford, how ever. did not come on and dropped fully three lengths behind when the Emile mark was passed. OK ford picked up slightly and was less than two lengths behind at Dukes Meadows, around the three mile mark. Again Oxford faltered and Cambridge stroked steadily on to lead by nearly four lengths, in- creasing the margin by four lengths soon after, and winning by 4 IA lengths, going away.

 May Call in Police
 Therefore, unless formal court action is taken by the Pape forces soon and the continued visits to the office stopped it is possible that police assistance may be asked by the registrars so as to cause ces- sation of the operations.
 Publisher Pape and James A. White, who has made a study of the voting list, were understood to have visited counsel this morning. This was not definitely verified. However, there was no civil action instituted today to force registrars into court and this delay is believed due to the appearance of the formal demand from MT Post, MT Wake and MT Wotkyns> this morn ing
