UTILITIES OFFER
TO REDUCE SUITS
Gadsen Pledges Co-opera-
ton to Gain Speedy Test
of Holding Company Act.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Organized utility holding companies
today offered to cooperate with the
Government In reducing the multi
plicity of suits under the holding
company act.
Philip H. Gadsden, chairman Of the
Committee of Public Utility Execu-
tives, said in statement:
"If the Attorney General and the
S. E. C. are anxious to avoid the
prosecution of the multiplicity of suits
based upon the public utility act OF
1885, they can rely on the full CO.
operation of the utilities"
The offer was the first break in what
has been separate efforts of the Gov
ernment and the utilities in the hold
ing company fight.
I'VE recognize that it is important
Gadsden said. mot only to the electric
light, power and gas industry, but ir
the interest Of general business re-
covery that the constitutionality OF the
act be passed upon as soon as possible
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States.
ut should not be difficult to select
suits brought by three or four principa
companies and push them forward a:
rapidly as possible. The rights Of
litigants in other cases should be pro-
tected in the meantime by temporary
injunction granted without opposition
That is what the utility industry Is
willing, and,' in its own interest anc
in the interest Of the country at large
anxious to do"

HEARST DECLARES
LANDON CAN WIN
Publisher Says Kansan Is
"the One Man" to Unite
New Deal Foes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kans., December ~
william Randolph Hearst declared
upon his arrival here today TO meet
Gov. ALI M. Landon that he believed
the Kansas Chief Executive was the
one man" on whom opponents OF the
New Deal could unite with hope OF
victory in 1896.
Landon, he asserted, "can be noml-
mated by the Republicans and can De
elected"
Hearst, on his way to California,
said he stopped off here to get ac-
uuainted with Gov. Lapdon."
Hes been coming along so fast,
the publisher declared, that decid-
ed I should meet and get acquainted
with him."
Hearst reiterated his opposition to
President Roosevelt, whom he support
ed in the 1882 election.
Calls Landon "DOer."
"The New Deal can be defeated II
the Republicans and those opposed to
the national administration unite on
q man like Gov. Landon-a man who
Is a doer and not promiser."
The Kansas Governor, Hearst de-
clared, understands the issues. His
Saturday statement that the basic is
sue is one of regimentation versus
preservation Of our Democratic ideals
sums up the 1886 battle"
Hearst scoffed at suggestions that
Landon's dry record might be a dis
advantage.
There is no prohibition ISSUE" he
declared. Its buried"
Hearst headed a group of news
paper executives having an appoint
ment today with Gov. Landon.
Members of the group were to be
Arthur Brisbane, noted columnist anc
chief editorial writer for the Hears
newspapers; Paul Block, New York
publisher of a chain of newspapers II
the East; George B. Longan, presiden'
Of the Kansas City Star Co., and Henr!
j. Haskell, editor Of the Kansas Cit!
Star.
Hearst supported Roosevelt in 1882
but has become one Of the New Deals
severest critics.
Praises Pay-aS-Go Policy.
The publisher recently has praised
the "pay-as-you-go" methods of thu
budget t-balancing Kansas Governor
and said that Landon could win" i
nominated by the Republicans.
Hearst's call follows closely upor
visits of several prominent person
presently or previously closely asso
ciated with former President Hoover
Hearst has declared against Hoove
as a prospective G. o. P. standar'
bearer.
Those visitors included Mark L
Requa, California National Republican
committeeman and deputy food ad
ministrator under Hoover; forme
Senator Henry j. Allen, w. NJ Jardine
Hoover Minister to Egypt. and Charlie
Curtis, former Vice President.

Continued From First Page.)

of the Bankhead compulsory cotton
limitation plan had precedence.
Reed had the speaking role for the
Government In this, too. Counsel for
Lee Moor, Texas planter, out to
force the Texas & New Orleans Rail-
way to transport his cotton without
the tags showing he respected the law
attacked, have contended the legis-
1ation constituted improper delegation
by Congress of its powers.
1t was necessary, for those in the
crowded court who wished to follow
the proceedings intelligently, to un-
derstand the difference between the
A. A. A. and the Bankhead act.
The A. A. A. cotton program aims
to control production of the Nations
crop through the use of voluntary
contracts and through payments to
contract signers for reducing acreage.
The funds are raised by processing
taxes.
The Bankhead act provides that the
Secretary of Agriculture fix national
allotment for each crop year. Pro-
ducers are given individual quotas from
the national allotment.
Davis Among Spectators.
Spectators included John w. Davis,
1924 Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent. He has filed brief attacking
A. A. A. The Archbishop of York
again was present.
A large number stood in aisles and
jammed against the walls. A smaller
crowd was outside.
Guessing about the courts atti-
tude on A. A. A. continued, with some
observers looking for a division in the
decision probably next month.
While Reed made notes for his re-
buttal, Edward r. Hale of Boston. for
the HooSac side, expounded its con-
tention that the A. A. A. comprised
an improper delegation of authority
by Congress.
Thornton Hardie of FL Paso, Tex,
and Henry E. Hackney of Uniontown
Pa, lawyers for Lee Moor, had pre-
pared arguments that the legislation
was an invalid delegation of power
by Congress to the Secretary and
had no direct relation to interstate
commerce. Reed was ready to say
the measure was necessary for the
general welfare" and was q valid
tax law.
Ben c. Dey Of New York expected
to urge the court to rule quickly so
his client, the railroad, would know
what to do.
Reed pleaded that the adjustment
law did not encompass an invalid del
egation Of power by Congress to the
Secretary of Agriculture; that it did
not authorize improper use of the tax
ing power, and that all its operations
were countenanced by the general
welfare" clause Of the Constitution.
