CHURCHES HELP
UTILITY LOBBY,
PROBERS HEAR
Religious Groups Have
Heavy investments in
Holding Firms, Claim.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Heavy
investment Of churches in utility
stocks IS responsible for much Of the
opposition 20 the Rayburn holding
company bill. according to testi-
monv the House Interstate Com
merce Committee has before it.
Hugh S. Magill, president Of the
American Federation Of Utility In
vestors. told the committee he be-
came concerned about government
policies affecting utilities while he
was working for the International
Council OF Religious Education, in
which 40 protestant churches in the
United States and Canada partici-
pate.
The council and its member
churches have large holdings in
utilities. he said, particularly the
Methodist Episcopal Church, North,
which has thus invested nearly
half its endowment fund, and the
Northern Baptist Convention.
Among officials and advisers Of
the Federation Of Utility Investors
are representatives of the Catholic
Church Extension Society, the
Catholic Order of ForeSterS, the
Jewish Charities. and the Northern
Baptist Theological Seminary.
Bankers, industrialists and repre-
sentatives of insurance companies
and investment trusts also are listed.
Protested Johnson Bill
The Federation, founded in 1888,
protested early in its career against
enactment of the Johnson bill
limiting the jurisdiction of Federal
Courts over utility rate cases. and
against the per cent tax on gross
sales Of electricity.
In opposing the Rayburn bill.
Mr.. Magill urged that Congress do
more than refuse it passage. we
demand legislation that will COM
plctely reverse the present attitude
of the government toward the great
investing middle class" he said. we
insist that the government get out
of the competition with its own cit
liens
Referring to the destructive and
ruthless power policy of the Fed
eral government" he called it "a
policy consciously tending toward
state socialism"
His testimony was in sharp con-
traSt with replies made by 20,870
Protestant ministers to question:
naires sent out last May by repre-
sentativeS of II religious bodies. At
that time 88 per cent indicated
their preference for economic or

u. S.-BRITAIN
TO STAY EQUAL
Jap Attitude, However,
Will Determine Ratio
Of Naval Power

LONDON, Nov. z. PA Eelief
that the United States and Great
Britain would agree TO continue
their naval parity, no matter what
happens at the forthcoming ap-
parently Inflated naval conference,
was expressed Thursday IN author
itative quarters.
Indications that the two powers
already may be in general accord
Tor continued equality, as the result
or preliminary talks held in recent
months, came from these sources.
Pessimism prevailed, however,
that any other very substantial
agreements would result from the
conference OF naval powers, already
postponed from December 2 to
Dec. San attitude attributed to
the somber international situation.
A spokesman for informed naval
quarters pointed out that parity
would not necessarily mean the
United States and Britain would
build ship for ship to keep their
navies in exact counter balance.
Rather, this source said, under
continuance Of existing equality,
the two nations in general would
maintain common total tonnage
and not engage in any shipbuilding
race against n another.
The tonnage each would maintain,
1t was said, would depend entirely
on what the other naval powers
particularly japan, intended to do.
There vas no sign that either the
United States or Britain had
relaxed its attitude toward Japan
csc demands for equality to replace
the old $50 ration under the pro-
visions Of the expiring Washington
limitations treaty.
