Debate Is Shortened on
Wheeler r-Rayburn Act.
Briefs to Be Filed.
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, September 28.-The
first hearing on the constitutionality
of the Wheeler -Rayburn public utili-
ties holding company act ended alb
ruptly late today as opposing counsel
shortened their arguments and re-
ceived permission to file briefs sub
sequently.
From the procedure laid down, it
appeared the record in the case would
not be completed for month. 1t was
indicated also that whatever decision
United States Judge William c. Cole
man handed down would be taken to
the Supreme Court.
The hearing ended Unexpectedly
only two days after it started. 1t
was marked at the outset by sharp
clash between John ]. Burns, chief
counsel of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and John w Davis, for
mer Democratic presidential nominee.
Davis Stigmatizes Law.
Davis, representing the Edison Elec-
trio Institute and an individual inter-
vening petitioner, continued his at
tack on the Wheeler -Rayburn act to-
day with the assertion: lit is the
most drastic and extreme legislation
ever passed in American law"
Shortly thereafter, James Piper,
counsel for the original litigants, J. B.
whitworth and F. Donald Fenhagen,
trustees of the bankrupt American
States Public Service Co., said his
brief would be on file Wednesday.
Davis and William Lee Rawls, Bal
timore attorney appointed by the court
to represent the American States Co.,
said their briefs would be filed at
the same time.
Others 10 File.
Judge Coleman then set 10 days
later for filing Of brief by Ralph D.
Buell., acting counsel for Berco, Inc,
first-lien bondholders and interven-
ing petitioners. Two weeks later, the
Judge said, Burns must file a reply
for the Securities and Exchange Com
mission.
The American States Co., seeking re-
organization under section 77-B of the
national bankruptcy act, brought the
test case to determine validity Of the
act before proceeding.
The opinion Of Judge Coleman, who
was sitting in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. will be Of an advisory nature
to the company, but will pass ON the
eonstitutionality Of the act.

Lebanon, Pa.
BY the Associated Press.

LEBANON, Pa, September %
Eight to ten tons of dynamite, stored
in a stone quarry shack blew up to-
night, rocking 80 miles of Pennsyl-
vania countryside and injuring II
persons, none seriously hurt. All
were taken to a hospital for treat
ment for cuts and bruises caused by
flying glass from windows blasted
out by the explosion. The damage
is estimated at thousands of dollars.
Elan SeigriSt, salesman for the
Liberty Powder Co., Pittsburgh, owner
of the storage house, estimated 8
to 10 tons of dynamite were in the
small frame building when the blast
let go. He said the explosive was
stored there while he sold it to
miners.
Clarence Klepper, who lives in a
house about two city squares from
the quarry, said he saw flames flick

Police said the homes of 1000 per-
sons in West Lebanon were unsafe for
occupancy and instructed the residents
not to return to them. The houses in
many cases were twisted and shaken
on their foundations, plaster was
knocked off and walls weakened, and
doors were blown from their hinges.
Crowds of persons storming to the
spot within 2 hours after the blast
blocked every highway for about 10
miles around. State, county and local
police were summoned in an effort to
open roads and to protect contents of
stores laid open by shattered windows
The shock was felt as far away as

While they guarded 1t carefully in

its weekly business review, which again

and expanding business activity.

ROOSEVELT TALK
HELD GOOD MOVE
Citing A. A. A. Benefits Seen
Drawing Attention to
G. O. P. Problem.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

President Roosevelt struck q blow
for the New Deal yesterday in Ere
mont, Nebr., in his first set speech
on his western trip. He told the
farmers of the country that through
the A A. A. and sundry other activi-
ties of the administration, the farm
income has been increased $500, ,000,-
600 over the level of 1882. the last
year of the Hoover administration.
The Presidents argument to the
farmers was effective. He said, in
effect, If the farmers want higher
prices for their produce, they had bet
ter stick to the A. A. A. and the New
Deal; that it was the part of Govern
ment to aid the farmers and that it
was the true function of Government
under our Constitution.
Here in a nut she'll Is one OF the
main campaign issues expounded by
the Chief Executive for the benefit of
the agricultural States of the West.
1t is persuasive argument as pre-
sented by the President and an issue
that the Republican party must meet
If it hopes to win back to its ranks
the great majority of the farmers.
The Republican leaders are not un-
mindful of the need of finding sub
stitute for the Roosevelt agricultural
program. Some of the more conserva-
tive Republican leaders of the East
are still unwilling to embark on a
program in any way similar to the
plan of the Roosevelt administration.
But the more progressive Republicans
of the West are convinced some sub
stitute that promises the farmers as
good break" as the A. A. A. must
be evolved.
G. 0. p. Claims Plans Made.
They are working on the problem,
and it is reported that they have al
ready amassed lot Of valuable data
and ideas which they are not yet
ready to put forward. One of them
said yesterday:
why should we give the Roosevelt
New Dealers the advantage of such
plans as We are developing for the
farmers? The President would snap
them up, put them into effect and
claim that he originated them"
In other words, the farm program
Of the Republicans is likely to be
held in abeyance until the Repub-
lican national convention next June
when the platform of the party Is
written.
This does not mean that various
Republican candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination will not advance
theories and plans for aiding agricul-
ture in the pre-convention campaign.
Col Frank Knox, publisher of the
Chicago Daily News, frequently men,
toned as a presidential possibility,
already has come forward with a
declaration that an export bounty
should be paid the farmers and at
the same time a high tariff wall be
maintained to protect the American
farmer in the domestic market.
