NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The elec- tric power industry is charging the "barrage of attacks" levelled against it by various Federal ag- encies" and has declared war on the Administrations power pro- gram, planning to fight in the courts.
 The Edison Electric Institute, representing 90 percent of the na- tion's electric power interests, has authorized all executives to take any steps necessary to determine whether there are limits under the Constitution beyond which the Government may not go in using public funds to destroy by compet- itive construction and operating, existing investments of private capital"
 The declaration of war brought a prompt retort from David Lil- lienthal, Director of the Tennessee Valley Authority, that the mask is off. A few men in New York City, and through holding compan- ies, control the electricity supply of 130,000,OO0 people, have stepped from behind widows and orphans, or preferred stockholders. Ice men and coal men are snow speaking in their own behalf. We now have in the open, a clear issue between the people who use electricity and those who have controlled it.'

PRIVATE ACTIVITY
IN BUILDING HURT
High Costs May Cause u. S
Efforts to Stimulate
to Fail.

The Governments effort to stimu-
late private building activity will fall
Of its purpose just so long as It's ef-
forts in other directions result In the
maintenance of high building costs,
is the view of the Alexander Hamil-
ton Institute in its current analysis
Of the building industry.
The institute said:
mo great improvement in building
activity in the field of private enter
prise is in immediate prospect mas
much as building costs at the present
time are still far above the level Of
rents and there Is little indication Of
this discrepancy being quickly recti-
fed
while 1t is possible that rents will
show some further recovery. the up
ward trend is likely to be very slow.
Consequently. the only means by
which building activity can be quick
ly stimulated is by reduction in the
cost of building. No immediate de-
velOpmentS along this line are in
prospect. Because of high wage rates
fixed by the codes it Is difficult for
manufacturers of building materials
to reduce their prices Moreover the
market for building materials which
the Government is providing with its
public works program is tending to
deprive these manufacturers Of the
incentive to demand code revisionS.
In addition, manufacturers feel
that, even if the codes were revised,
they would not be able to reduce
prices sufficiently to stimulate much
of an increase in building activity.
Building costs would still tend to re-
main unduly inflated despite lower
quotations by manufacturers of build
ing materials because Of high wages

Old Offices, Air Conditioned,
Compete Will, Ne,u Buildings
Expert Declares Rental Rerenues II are
Been Materially Increased Through
Elimination of Common Objection.

side Offices are no longer objection
able. because. with the year-around
comfort provided by air conditioning
the former stuffy. inside Offices are
rapidly becoming things of the past;
these same offices, in the air condi-
toned building. are now bringing
rentals on a par with outside loca-
tions.
Mr.. Lauer referred to several re-
cent installations in this field, in
which either the entire office build
ing has been air conditioned, or in
dividual Offices or suites are air con-
ditioned, emphasizing the fact that
air conditioning is thus largely op-
tional with the tenant, and for this
reason is an important consideration
which merits careful study by own
ers of both new and old buildings.
Evening star., 1934-06-30

Air conditioning of older Office
buildings. to enable them to success
fully compete with modern structures,
is one OF the most effective uses to
which air conditioning can be ap-
piled. Stewart E. Lauer, air condition
ing equipment authority. states in re-
viewing recent developments in the
air conditioning industry.
This fact is being demonstrated by
office buildings in various parts of
the country, Mr.. Lauer says, citing
instances OF 20 per cent increase in
rental revenue as direct result of
air conditioning recent survey in
Chicago showed that of l20 air con-
ditioning installations in that city in
the first eight months Of last year,
the greater number we're in Office
buildings.
Boom Buildings Used.
Buildings erected during the real
estate boom which ended about 1928,
financial aspects of which have pre-
sented a major problem in the re-
cent adjustment period. are the type
of structure particularly referred to
in the review.
Now. most Of these structures. as
a result of foreclosures and similar
proceedings, have been revalued to
around present-day replacement costs
or lower, in many instances to fig
ures which represent only the amount
of the first mortgage. Also. in
large majority of cases, ownership
now rests with the mortgage holders
Consequently Mr.. Lauer points out,
the relatively low cost which these
properties represent to their present
owners makes it economically sound
for them to modernize through the
installation of air conditioning. thus
putting the properties in g position
to compete with those of more re-
cent construction.
Eliminates Complaints.
Discussing office buildings general
ly, Mr.. Lauer pointed out that air
conditioning becomes a distinct fac
tor also in securing higher rentals
for Office space as we'll as attracting
patronage, since it eliminates many
Of the old causes for complaint. In
