Crossings Being Stressed
for Public Work

Washington, Nov. 2O-(P)-NRA's
high command set itself Tuesday the
task Of doing everything possible to
aid the new cooperative effort be-
tween business and government.
There were definite signs that the
seven-man board that now rules the
blue eagle will avoid any major
changes In policy for the present. This
was interpreted as desire to let
business know it can 60 ahead with
out running into drastic alterations
that might upset stability.
Clay Williams. recovery chairman,
said Monday the board is making q
great many studies of a great many
problems" but he added that there
are "some limitations on what con-
structively and conservatively can be
done under the existing situation"
Williams denied the board was
"treading water" but observers noted
that congress must review the whole
recovery law soon, and believed the
board might go slow on major
changes pending that review.
Two other developments focused
further attention on the new partner
ship between government and bust

council, sometimes critical Of the ad-
ministration's policies, held q love

And Jesse Jones. chairman of the Re-

hailed the partnership.
As q means Of putting thousands Of
men to work, program OF eliminate

as possible part of the public works
program. Several billion dollars could
be spent on this-but how much ac-
tually will be allotted has not been
determined.
The railroads are known to feel
that federal or state money should fl
nance this work, rather than the
roads own funds. Secretary Ickes
and Joseph B. Eastman, federal CO.
ordinator of transportation, both are
in favor of widespread elimination Of
the hazards.

pressed doubt as to what real degree

holders involved

Chicago, Nov. 20.-(P)-The Recon-
struction Finance Corporation moved
Tuesday to collect part of overdue
funds in the $90,000,000 Dawes
loan"
In federal court Monday attorneys
for the RFC filed suit against the
1000 stockholders Of the Central Re-
public Trust Co., seeking to deter
mine their liability in the claimed
100000 900 unpaid balance.
The court was asked to determine
II recovery could be made of $l4,-
100000, the amount of the company's
capital stock. Among stockholders
named is Gen. Charles G. Dawes,
one-time official Of the company.
At the time the bill was filed Fed
eral Judge John p. Barnes granted
RIG attorneys temporary restrain
ing order enjoining other creditors Of
the stockholders from instituting
similar suits pending disposal Of the
bill.
While the central republic was ex-
tended 10000 900 credit by the RFC,
only $80,00O,O00 actually was borrow
ed by the institution. A loan Of $780,
100000 being obtained on June 20.
1892, and $4,000, 900 on Oct. 9, 1882.
The suit alleged $7,022, 900 still was
unpaid on the first loan and $50 ,O0O,-
600. including interest, was due on
the second.
John L. Hopkins, an attorney for
the RFC, said he understood the
state auditor might be asked to take
over the central republic for liquida-
ton. William G. Freeman, vice pres
ident in active charge of the institu-
ton, said that while the bill asked
for q receiver who would handle
money that might be collected from
the stockholders, 1t did not necessar-
lily mean a receivership for the bank.
Freeman said that there was no
reason whatever for receiyership for
the Central Republic Trust company
and said that monies were being col
lected as rapidly as possible.

Washington. Nov 2O.-(P)-An au-
thoritative source disclosed Tuesday
that laws to limit the stature and
might Of giant holding companies in
the power business probably will be
recommended to President Roosevelt
by his power experts.
Regulation of holding companies
corporations which hold the shares Of
operating utilities and usually control
those utilities-is an objective of the
national power commission, appointed
by the president to recommend q
power policy to him.
A commission subcommittee study
ing this subject is headed by Robert
E. Healy. who directed most OF the
federal trade commissions six-year
inquiry into utilities and who now is
on the securities and exchange COM
mission.
Though a legislative program has
not been drafted and the presidents
attitude has not been disclosed, the
subcommittee was authoritatively re-
ported to be thinking along these
lines:
Seek to Check Pyramiding
1. No more than one holding COM
pany should be superimposed on q
group of operating companies. At
present some holding companies are
III turn held by other holding COM
ranies. The experts believe this pyra-
miding is uneconomic.
g. The power resources which ono
holding company may control should
be limited.
3. Natural gas and electric compa-
MES should be divorced. In many
cases holding companies control both
kinds of utilities Jointly. This leads.
in the opinion Of the experts, to re-
duced use OF the great natural gar
resources.
The federal trade commission,
which is preparing utilities report
for congress, is seriously considering
recommending that holding compa-
MES be licensed. Then they would
not be permitted TO operate In Inter-
state Commerce without q federal
license. Such q plan might be used to
attain detectives like those outlined
above.
The trade commissions report on
United Corporation, q concern hold
ing minority interest in large group
of other utility holding companies,
was prepared while Healy still was
directing the commissions study.
This report found that the united
group represented ~ per cent Of the
kilowatt-hours power output Of the
nation; and Is per cent Of the Install
ed generating capacity, and 30 per
cent of the hydro-electric capacity.
Other examples which the com.
missions record includes are Cities
Service company. described as repre-
senting a billion dollar empire con-
trolled by Henry L. Doherty with an
investment of only 100000, Elec-
trio Bond g. Share, Associated Gas
and others.
