Attorney General Cummings advised
all United States district attorneys to-
day ito refrain from bringing or
threatening to bring any criminal pro-
ceedings" under the holding company
act
This action closely followed a state
ment by the Securities Commission
that, for the present at least, it would
make no requests to the Justice De-
partment for criminal prosecution of
holding companies refusing to register
under the act.
In a letter to district attorneys.
Cummings said:
The department suggests that you
refrain from bringing or threatening
to bring any criminal proceedings
under the act. If any injunction pro-
ceedings is instituted against you, you
will thus be in a position to disclaim
any present threat of any criminal
proceedings under such act. Such dis
claimer should be sufficient to dispose
of any restraining order which may be
sought against you :"
Sees Failure to Register.
The Attorney General mentioned the
announcement of the Edison Electric
Institute that it had retained counsel
to contest constitutionality of the act
Consequently, it is probable that a
number of companies will fail to reg
lister under the act.
1T is, of course, not the purpose
of the Government to harass the util-
ity industry with a needless multi
plicity of suits. Equally, however,
there Is no public interest to be
served by vexing the Government with
a multiplicity of injunction suits
which might embarrass and harass
the Government in defending the
constitutionality of the act and which
might result in the presentation OF the
issue of constitutionality on the basis
of an inadequate record or a record
not fairly typical of the situations
covered by the act"
The letter pointed out the law gives
to the Securities Commission the duty

Loss of Rights Denied.
The commissions statement today
said companies which register will
lose no constitutional rights.
Evidence obtained by the S. E. c..
Cummings said, will be transmitted
to him for appropriate action.
I'm enforcing the act it is proposed
promptly to institute civil proceedings
against one or more large and impor-
tant companies who may fail to reg
lister to enforce compliance with its
provisions and to seek decisions from
the Supreme Court sustaining the va
lidity of the act.
I'm the meanwhile, 1t is not pro-
posed to institute criminal proceed
ings, and, if later it should become
necessary to institute criminal pro-
ceedings against any company, it is
not the intention of this department
to seek to exact penalties for earlier
offenses which might unduly penalize
the investors in the offending COM
pany."
Several utilities companies have re-
fused to register on the ground such
a step would weaken their position in
challenging the acts constitutionality.
The commissions new rule states that
if any court should hold the commits
sion had no power to preserve the
companies legal rights. the registra-
ton statement would become null and
void. In addition 10 this, the COM
mission issued a f1ve-point statement
of policy, saying it will proceed
promptly with administration and en-
forcement, but In an orderly and
economical manner"

CORDELL HULL
 TO PUT TEETH
 IN NEUTRALITY
Secretary of State in Radio Address Asks for
 Wider Powers

WASHINGTON, Nov. T. . The American policy of using '4appro- priate" influence to stop foreign wars while still keeping out of them was enunciated by Secretary of State Cordell Hull in nationally broad cast radio address last night intend- ed to explain the country's neutral ity stand in the Italio-E Ethiopian conflict.
 The Secretary of State at the same time made plea for wider dis cretionary powers for the President in directing this country's foreign affairs in times of international dis turbance. The suggestion was in terpreted by some observers as paving the way for an Administration re- quest of the next Congress for a more far reaching but less rigid neu- trality law than the present act.
 The existing law expires at the end of February. Congressional ef- forts already under way may extend it.
 The Secretary's address was read into the microphone by William Phillips. Undersecretary of State Hull is out of the city at present.
 The Neutrality Act Automatically places an embargo on American shipments of munitions and imple- ments of war to belligerents as soon as the President proclaims that a state of war exists.
