fail in the execution of its trust. In
either event the place would revert
to the State of Virginia. Five visitors
to Mount Vernon are appointed an
nually by the Governor to represent
the interest of the State.
This patriotic organization. which
opens its annual Spring council to-
morrow, is composed Of members
from the various States, who serve
without remuneration. They seek to
keep Mount Vernon free from the
finger of progress" and they strive
to carry out the ideals and purposes
of the founder and first regent of the
organization. Ann Pamela Cunning
ham of South Carolina.
History has 1t that Miss Cunning
ham, an invalid. accompanied by her
mother, was travelling by boat past
Mount Vernon when the customary
tolling of the ships bell at this point
as a token of respect to the memory
of Washington reminded Mrs. Cum
ningham of the unsuccessful at
temptS to enlist the interest Of the
United States and the State of Vir-
ginia in the preservation of the his
toric spot, which at that time was
fast deteriorating. Mrs. Cunningham
expressed the belief the women of the
country should take steps to preserve
the shrine.
Inspired by her mothers words.
Ann Pamela Immediately formulated
plans whereby an organization of
women might be inaugurated to care
for and preserve the home of Wash
ington.
Despite countless discouragements,
coupled with chronic i'll health, Miss
Cunningham succeeded in carrying
through her purposes and presided
over the organization which she had
founded from 1883 to 1873, q year be-
fore her death.

Pupils Win Long Strike.

After strike lasting seven months
Protestant pupils of Ardchattan
School in Bonawe, Scotland, have won
a victory and returned to their studies.
The trouble arose through the trans
ference from the school of a perma-
nent teacher and the retention of a
Catholic one who had been only tenn
porarily appointed. The parents Of
the Protestant pupils unanimously
decided at public meetings to stand
firmly behind the pupils. The Argyll
Education Committee did not prose-
cute and an additional Protestant
teacher has now been put in the
school. After running wild for so
long the pupils were delighted to re-
sumo their classes.

AGREEMENT NEAR
ON HOLDING FIRMS
House Subcommittee Slated
to Pass on Utilities Bill
Provision Today.
BY WILL P. KENNEDY.


Decision on the holding companies
provision of the public utilities bill,
which is one of the most important
must" measures on the administra-
tion's program of legislation. is ex-
pected to be reached in executive
session of the subcommittee today.
1t is probable that the provision to
be written today will be for strict
regulation of holding companies but
that the one as originally proposed in
the bill, for complete elimination of
holding companies, will not be ap-
proved. A canvass of members of the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee and of leaders on both the
Democratic and Republican sides OF
the House diScloseS it will be almost
impossible to get the elimination pro-
vision reported out by the committee
and that even If reported 1t would
not get by the House.
Early Action Sou hit.
Speaker Byrns at a press confer
ence indicated he would like to have
the public utilities bill taken up by
the House next week and that CHAR
man Rayburn expected to report IT
soon. This view was also expressed
by Representative Patrick j. Boland
of Pennsylvania. the Democratic whip.
Chairman O'Connor of the Rules
Committee, however, and other MEM
bers of the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee say they do
not see how it will be possible to have
the bill completed within two weeks.
Some members of the House Com
mittee said today they expected the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee to complete its consideration OF
this measure first
House Committee members feel GER
tain that through this legislation they
will "be able to stop great deal of
this racketeering in power company
securities" The greatest evil, as they
see 1t, is that in striving for empire
the managers of the big companies
have paid too much for properties.
and the value was not there on a
permanent basis-only the competitive
value. The bill to be reported Will
put the brakes on that.
Would Vote All Stock.
Another provision to be written into
the bill is that all stockholders will
have the right to vote. This will put
an end to the issuance of no par
common stock at ST a share with
preferred voting rights and preferred
stock at 500 a share with no power
to vote. That means dilution OF in
vestment and concentration of control.
1t means the companies are not run
for the benefit of the investors or con-
suming public, but for the advantage
of the managers.
When the bill comes out it will not
be aimed at killing the holding COM
panies, which are very important, il
not essential, for interstate operations.
1t will carry much, the committee
members say, that will be beneficial
not only to the public interest and to
the investors. but to the industry itself.
Nothing radically drastic is likely to
be reported from the House Committee.

New Antarctic Land Found.

Announcement in Oslo that new
land in the Antarctic had been dis
covered by the Norwegian oil tanker
Thorshavn has aroused much interest
in Norway. This discovery is not only
of importance in the mapping of the
South Antarctic regions, but may lead
to Norway annexing more territory in
the Antarctic. Some years ago Nor
way disputed with Great Britain the
ownership of Bouvet Island, which
lies In the same region and is of value
to Norwegian whalers in the Antarc-
tic. The Thorshavn's discovery
means that Norwegian explorers have
at last found the missing link between
King Leopold Land, Queen Astrid
Land and Lars Christensen's Land.

SENATE
RATIFICATION
Of PROTOCOLS
CONTINUED from page II

To give concrete realization to
this obviously sound and thorough
ly American policy, 1 hope that at
an early date the senate will advise
and consent to the adherence by
the United States to the protocol of
signature to the statute of the per-
manent court of international JUS
tice. dated December Is, 1920, the
protocol for the revision of the sta
tute of the permanent court OF in
ternational justice, dated Septem-
Der IA, 1929, and the protocol for
the accession of the United States
of America to the protocol of sigma
ture of the statute of the permanent
court of international justice, dated
September IA, 1929. all of which
were submitted to the senate, De-
cember 10, 1880.
I urge that the senate's consent
be given in such form as not to de-
feat or to delay the objective of ad-
herence.
The sovereignty of the United States
will be in no way diminished or
jeopardized by such action. AT this
period in international relation
ships, when every act is of moment
to the future of world peace. the
United States has an opportunity
once more to throw its weight into
the scale in favor of peace.
