Alarmed by mounting post-repeal
liquor smuggling. the administration
yesterday pressed congressional lead
ers for quick action on new legisla-

power to declare customs enforcement

WHEELER CLAIMS
HIS BILL IS MUST
Utility Measure Author Says
Roosevelt Wants AboIi-
ton Proviso.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A private message from President
Roosevelt asking passage Of the bill to
abolish public utility holding COM
panies with its present drastic provi-
sions was brandished yesterday by
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. of Mon
tana in an effort to beat aside opposi-
ton to its quick passage tomorrow.
The President wants this bill
passed with section IL retained ="
Wheeler said. referring to the part of
the measure setting UP the machinery
for wiping out ''unessential" holding
companies by 1912 and trimming the
remaining ones to regional" proper
lions.
Wheeler withheld the text of the
memorandum expressing the Presi-
dents views. but said he had shown
it to several Senators" who earlier
had expressed a conviction the Chief
Executive would be satisfied with a
regulatory bill devoid of provisions
for dissolvine holding companies.
Predicts Passage.
At the same time Wheeler declared
he was adverse TO accepting any fur
ther modifying amendments beyond
those agreed to Friday, when the first
week of debate on the bill was COM
pleted. He freely predicted passage
of the measure tomorrow under a
strict limitation of debate already
agreed upon.
Meantime. he conferred with the
two Government attorneys, Benjamin
v. Cohen and Thomas Corcoran, who
drafted the bill, over a new batch of
proposed amendments. Several came
from Senator Mcclellan, Democrat. OF
Tennessee. an administration sup
porter, who has, nevertheless. ex-
pressed opposition to some provisions
of the bill.
Strategy Mapped.
Cohen and Corcoran marched into
Wheeler's Office shortly after noon
yesterday and further callers were
rushed aside while the three discussed
the final strategy for maneuvering
the bill tomorrow.
A major amendment by Mcclellan
was directed at the regulatory pro-
visions under which Federal control
over interstate transmission of cleo
tricity was sought. Seeking to save
State regulation intact. Mcclellan pro-
posed that where any person is sub
ject both to a requirement of this
act, and to a requirement OF
any statute of any State" " the
State law shall apply exclusively.
Mcclellan also sought re-defini-
ton of interstate commerce" to bring
it into agreement with opponents
contention that Federal regulation OF
such business was possible only where
it imposed "a burden on interstate
commerce"
Contests Receivers.
In q third amendment. he pro-
posed denying the right of the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission to act
as receiver for any power company in
reorganization. As a first step. he
proposed giving the courts discretion
in appointing the commission or 9TH
ers as receivers, and second would
strike out the section of the bill sub
stituting the commission as receiver
for any company at present in the
hands Of other receivers.
Wheeler was frankly in opposition
to the proposed changes in the re-
ownership requirements and said he
had strength to block any new
amendments.

SHE'LL TEST CAR TO AID LOCAL DRIVERS

When the Shell Drive Safely
test car arrives here Thursday to
aid in the safety campaign being
promoted by The Press, local mo-
torists will have an opportunity to
see one Of the most unique devices
ever invented for measuring the op-
Grating safety Of a motor car. This
device is known as a "decelero-
meter and is in use throughout
the country by state and city police
departments. As the name implies,
it is a meter or measuring inStru-
Tent for determining the decelera-
ton of a car-in other words. how
long it takes a car to stop when
the brakes are applied.
The decelerometer looks like q
small box and is fastened to the
running board of an a utomobile
whose brakes are to be tested. In
side the box is a pendulum arrange
ment. A card is inserted for each
test on which the pendulum can
register its swing. AS every high
school student knows, the pendulum
remains motionless as long as the
car is not moving and when it is
moving at a uniform rate of speed.
When the car is braked, the pen
dulum tends to keep going"-that
is to say, it swings forward. The
faster the car stops, the farther
the pendulum swings forward and
the card is marked to measure the
pendulum swing in terms of the
rate Of decelerati #.
Shows STOP ling Time
Amazing ingenuity was shown by
the inventor in applying the laws
of inertia and momentum" in ar
ranging his device so that the pen
dulum marks the paper card to
show how quickly the car stops
after the brakes are applied. The
test is much more accurate and
more simple than the old method
of racing a car to a certain line
ard then attempting to apply the
brakes at that point, because no
two motorists ever managed to step

YANKEE BRAIN
AIDS ETHIOPIA

WARREN, Me, Oct. /. UP)-It's a
long way from Adds Ababa to this
quiet farming hamlet in southeast
orn Maine-but there are few OF
Wawen's 1.5o0 inhabitants who are
not taking a lively interest in The
ltalo-Ethiopian crisis.
The reason is Everett A. Colson.
Colscn, now in his sos, is adviser
to Emperor Halle Selassie. He is
also native Of this village, whose
cathedral quiet offers a marked
contrast to the electric atmosphere
in war-threatened Ethiopia. And
so Warren folks are following close
ly all developments.
Studied Intensely as Youth
Behind the scenes they see the
7hrewd Down East Yankee, whom
they knew years ago as a sickly
child. Barred from outdoor life by
rail health, young Colson found
his recreation in reading and be-
came a precocious youth whose
Widened interests soon got him far
from his little home in South War
ren.
Colson is a son of the late David
and Mary Andrews Colson. His
mother died while he was an infant
and he was reared by an aunt, Mrs.
Elmer MeSser, and a grandmother
Mrs. Sarah Andrews.
At 10 he passed a civil service
examination and went to the Phil
ippineS as a government stenog-
rapher. But Pitman's hooks and
loops did not long held his interest.
Soon he went To Canton China as
United States marshal, and from
there back to tire Philippines as di-
rector Of civil service.
Served in World War
Colson served in the World War,
spent several years in Haiti, and
five years ago went to Ethiopia to
establish a bank. At Adds Ababa
ne met the Emperor, who imme-
diately appreciated his astuteness
and appointed him chief OF the
monetary system.
0llCC IiACli VllC MdllIC ldllhce Has
neld that post and has advised the
Emperor on questions of policy. His
name has appeared frequently in
the news during the weeks marked
by Ethiopia's feverish preparations
to resist a threatened Italian in
Vasion.
Mrs. Colson is with her husband
in Adds Ababa, but their son, Ed
ward A Colson, lives with an uncle
at Lynn, Mass.
