UTILITIES MEN
 ARE GANGSTERS
Roger w. Babson Bitterly Attack Those Who
 Failed to Register

Wellesley Hills, Mass, Dec il. OP)-Utilities refusing to register under the holding company act are resorting to tactics more worthy of the lawlessness of the gangster than of those who have accepted the responsibility for the invest ments of the American public, Roger w. Babson, economist, has written President Roosevelt.
 Writing both as a public utility director and a large Stockholder in the industry" Babson in a letter dated November 27 and made pulp lie today sought to assure President Roosevelt that many minority stockholders take a totally different attitude" from those opposed to registration. Babson wrote in part:
 Forget Its Purpose
 Some utility officials and direc- tors seem so preoccupied with cer- tain apparent injustices and incon- sistencies in the act that they for get its fundamental purpose, which many conservative interests ap- prove. In doing so they are refusing to register and thereby are defying the basic principles of democratic government.
 "Our bankers, public utility of- ficials and others entrusted with the savings of our people cannot con- Sistently appeal to radical groups to uphold the law and honor the prin- cipjles of democracy, if they them selves ignore these things when it suits their own pleasure and pur- pose. -.
 Deplorable Mistakes
 "Any intention of the holding companies to refuse to register un- der the act impresses me as one of the most deplorable mistakes which I have. witnessed in more than thirty years of industrial and finan- cial experiences"

United States Helped

London, Dec. 11-(UP)-The Uni ted States treasury today saved the World Silver market from further collapse when it bought compar- atively small block and permitted establishment of price at N 1-2 pence an ounce-equivalent on the basis of the latest pound sterling quote to 61 cents fine ounce.
 The United Press learned the American treasury bought slightly less than a half-million ounces or less than 1-2 per cent of the total offerings, which ranged from five to six million ounces. The purchase was rationed of among the sellers ono the basis of offerings.
 Meanwhile it was decided to sus- pend dealings in forward or future silver until the spot situation had been cleared up.
 Attempts to form a banking sym dicate save the market were futile.
 Aid in London
 London, Dec. 1l-(UP)-Aid came into the world silver market today, enabling bullion brokers to fix a price on bar mental at 27 1-2 pence an ounce-equivalent, at the present value of the pound sterling, to 61 cents fine ounce.
 This level was 2 3-4 cents an ounce below the price established at New York yesterday by Handy 6 Harman, bullion dealers. It was 16 cents an ounce below net price paid by the United States treasurey for newly mined native metal.
 The London level was IA pence an ounce below the price fixed Monday. Yesterday brokers were forced to suspend dealings without fixing price for the first time since the World war when no buyer could be found for the 100000 ounces offered.
 It was impossible to learn im- mediately who absorbed the huge offerings of the metal at today's prices.
 However, it appeared that the buying was motivated by an effort to prevent collapse of the world market and that it came from some large intereSts-either a banking combine. as rumored early, or the United States treasury.
 New York, Dec. 11-(UP)- The price of bar silver in New York to- day was fixed by Handy & Harmon, silver dealers. at 62 3-4 cents, off 1 cent from the price set yesterday.

JUNIOR COLLEGES
 HERE TO REMAIN

Public junior colleges supported by municipalities will be the logical successors to the Federal Commun- ity colleges established under the EZRA and continuing this year un- der WPA, according to a state ment by Ernest M. Butterfield, Con- necticut commissioner of education. Dr. Butterfield told the annual con- ference of state commissioners of education, in session at Washing ton, D. C., that public provision for education above the high school level is 'here to stay".
 He said that when the federal government withdraws its support, the demand on individual cities for educational facilities beyond high school is going to be great enough to force out cities to set up public junior colleges.

 The grand jury's decision followed swiftly sharp criticism by the Mime sato Law and Order league.
 'The law enforcement agencies of this city and investigators of the prosecutors office are definitel. on the spot" the league charged. They stand before the judgment of the public and it is for them to prove by prompt and effective action that they are making a real effort to see that the laws of this city and state are enforced"
 Failure of authorities to solve the assassination of another crusading editor, Howard Guilford, year ago, was believed to have influenced the grand jury. The staying also was vited by the law and order league.
 Action of the grand jury would re- move the case from the hands of County Attorney E. J. Golf, whom Liggett repeatedly charged with protecting" vice and corruption.

SOLICITOR GEN.
 WAS OVERCOME
Stanley Reed Breaks Un- der Persistent Ques=
 lions From Justices
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN limited Press Staff Correspondent

BY JOHN A. REICHMANN United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Dec. 11-(UP)-Soli- eitor General Stanley Reed, whose dramatic collapse in the supreme court yesterday was attributed to overwork, seemed ready today to continue his fight for the New Deals cotton production control progra mbefore the nine black robed justices.
 Reed was forced to interrupt his defense of the Bankhead cotton act after submitting to running fire of hostile and intricate questions from the bench. He staggered reaching his seat.
 Critics of NRA
 The jurists who questioned him most critically were the same ones who had peppered him with in- uuiries during argument of the MIRA case last spring. They were Justices McReynolds, Sutherland, Butler and Van DeVanter, and they voted against him in the MIRA, "hot pil," and railroad retirement cases.
 Reed sought to defend his po- sition that the suit brought to out law the Bankhead act was a mon adversary" case and that, therefore, the court should dismiss it. He eX- plained there was no real contro- versy between the litigants-Lee Moor, a Texas cotton planter, and the Texas and New Orleans rail- road.
 McReynolds challenged the new { deal attorneys right to raise that question inasmuch as the govern ment had not participated in the case in the lower court, and Chief Justice Hughes forced Reed to pro- eeed to another point.
 Fresh Inquiries
 The solicitor attempted to re- sume his plea, but was interrupted by fresh inquiries from the so-called conservative" jurists led by Mo- Reynolds. Suddenly, he paled and balted.
 T fear I shall have to ask your honors' indulgence" he said. T am unable to go on."
 Hughes immediately recessed the court 15 minutes before the usual hour--a precedent-and Reed was assisted into an adjoining chamber where he was given a stimulant.
 The incident called attention to the courts practice of battering the governments legal forces with in- tricate inquiries that have caused embarrassment even to the most ex- perienced and well-informed New Deal defenders. Some court observ- CTS have looked upon the practice as 8 fcrn of sport indulged in by the jurists to test the ingenuity of law yers who display signs of nervous ness.
 Z Reed hopes to conclude his plea fin the Bankhead case today. He has been forced to direct defense operations in four major New Deal suits within the past two weeks.
 He had just completed lengthy argument involving the attack upon AAA processing taxes when he was given the task of pleading for a favorable decision on the Bankhead Jaw. Next week he is to defend the Tennessee Valley authority act and the AAA's Rice processing tax pro- gram.

\OO11Gu1UGu 1TOIu rage 4.J the smaller powers, who denounced it as betrayal of both Ethiopia and the League.
 When it comes Up for discussion, it is certain to be attacked as ap- proval by the League of a plain grab, and submission by the League to an aggressor after it had forbid den him to continue his aggression. It will be argued that the Leagues ability to halt a war will be forever discredited and that no small pow CT is henceforth safe from strong CT one.
 Ethiopian Minister Protests
 The Ethiopian minister in Paris protested to Premier Laval that if Ethiopia is thus abandoned by the League, her only protector, there is but one thing for her to do, and that is to die fighting. He declared Ethiopia will never surrender Tigre province, as suggested.
 AS Capt. Anthony Eden, British negotiator, left for Paris and Gene va to back up the plan, the feeling in London was not entirely optimis- tic. It was emphasized there that Britain will not try to force the plan through against Ethiopia's will, nor to override the opposition of other powers.
 It was again insisted that Britain will act only in common with all the other League powers.
 Britain Must lave Help
 London, Dec. 11-(UP) - Great Britain cannot act alone in handling the Ethiopian problem, Prime Min ister Stanley Baldwin told the house of commons today in re-statement of Britain'S constantly-expressed policy.
 His statement was of particular interest in conjunction with the de- parture of Capt. Anthony Eden for Geneva where he will try to per- suade the other powers to accept the new Franco-British peace plan.
 Baldwin replied to several ques- tionS on the Ethiopian crisis.
 "A unilateral British ban on mu- nitions' exports, including oil, to the combatants would be directly con- trary to British policy" he said.
 Secret Is Kept
 He expressed regret that it was mot in the public interest" to pub fish at present the Franco British correspondence concerning the sup port asked from France in case the British fleet is attacked in the Me- diterranean.
 Baldwin declined to emplify the statements which he and Eden made to commons yesterday on the peace plan.
 In connection with the oil em- bargo especially, he re-emphasized Britain's adherence to collective ac- ton.
 A questioner wanted to know whether the government proposed to hand over Cyprus to Greece in view of the restofation of the Greek monarchy.
 Cyprus Stays British
 'The government has no inten- ton of handing over Cyprus to any foreign power," J. H. Thomas, colo nial secretary. replied.
 Cyprus is an important strategic island in the Mediterranean, north- east of the Suez Canal and 70 miles from the coast of Syria. It was ceded to Britain by Turkey in leT8.)
 Thomas was silent. however, when the only communist in the house, William Gallagher. asked whether he was aware that British foreign policy was behind the return of the king of Greece and Greece is be. coming a puppet state of Britain in the Mediterranean"
