HOLDING FIRM
Attack Against
Practices Is Cheered
in Congress.
By Unifed Press

By Jnited Press
WASHINGTON, March 12.-
Smashing of the existing public
utility holding company system was
demanded by President Roosevelt
today as utterly essential to avoid
governmental socialism"
In one of the most fortnight
messages he has sent to Congress
this session, Mr.. Roosevelt sup
ported fully the pending legislation
for stringent regulation of holding
companies and denounced the cam
paign of propaganda against it.
Wnen reading of the message was
concluded, the entire Democratic
membership rose and applauded
more than a minute, an unusual
spectacle.
Rep. John Rankin Cd, Miss,
enemy of public utility holding COM
panies, became so excited that he
dropped his paper and pencils.
Nearby members scattered to miss
his flying arms.
Holding companies, Mr.. Roose-
welt said. have given tyrannical
power and exclusive opportunity to
favored few"
He said it was time to reverse the
process of concentration of power,
and restore the control of operat-
ing companies to the localities where
they operate.
Il am against private socialism
Of concentrated private power as
thoroughly as 1 am against gov
ermental socialism," Mr.. Roosevelt
declared. The one is equally as
dangerous as the other; and de-
struction of private socialism is
utterly essential to avoid govern
mental socialism"
The utility holding company with
its present powers must CO." the
President said, except where impera-
tive to functioning of geographical
ly integ-ated operating systems.
Mr.. Roosevelt described the hold
ing company system as:
A corporate invention which can
give a few corporate insiders I'M
warranted and intolerable powers
over other peoples money.

record and other circumstances.
Any person who heard both our
speeches" said Gen. Johnson,
knows that he made not one single
major conclusion that was not
based on an absolute falsehood or
distortion of what I said and will
make this clear. Not one single
personal aspersion was made that
did not rest equally on falsehood.
"As a crack downer," Gen. john
son conceded, Father Coughlin has
me backed OF the boards"
Although Gen. johnson insists his
New York speech was distinctly his
own idea, he revealed last night that
high dignitaries Of the Catholic
Church had seen and approved it

ord Of national and political and
economic dispute Thousands Of

plauding his rebuke to Father
Coughlin and Long.
"Of course" Gen. Johnson said,
ct expected all the lying bunk about
my being the tool Of bankers and
big business. Why, I batted those
babies about so hard in NRA that
am less popular with them than
smallpox.
IF they wanted to hire me it
would not be to talk but to keep
still. If ever I got any cash or
dudoS out of bankers Or banking or
the stock market, wish I had it
now. All got was what the rest of
us got-a complete trimming. There
is not enough money in the world to
hire me to expose myself to this
kind of abuse-I do it on my own
and because I think it's necessary"

REVOLT BROKEN,
LEADER FLEES
VenizeIos, Aids Escape to
italian Isles After
Failure.
DOWNRIGHT 1895 bv United Press,


ATHENS, March 12:-Eleutherios
Venizelos, 71-year-old leader of the
unsuccessful rebellion through which
he hoped to overthrow the Greek
government, fled into exile today on
the Italian Dodecanese Islands.
The defeated rebel leader left his
capital" on the Island of Crete,
with his staff, aboard the cruiser
Averoff, flagship of the rebel navy,
abandoning three destroyers in
Canea Harbor. The flight of Veni-
zelos appeared to put at least a
temporary end to his long career as
a statesman and a distinguished
figure in the councils of Europe.
Soon the government received
word that he had landed on CasSos
Island, 35 miles eastward Of Crete
in the Aegean, and that the Averof
was returning toward Greece, pre-
Sumably to surrender.
The rebellion had collapsed utter
ly, and with it Venizelos' ambitions.
A request was made for the extra
dition of Gen. Demetrius CamenoS
and his fellow leaders of the rebel
army in Macednoia, who escaped
across the Bulgarian frontier yester-
day. Others fled to Turkey.
The government repossessed Crete
and three other islands-Mytilene
Chios and Samos-which the rebels
had seized,

and gradually when we learn to paint
what we see, where we are, and cease
our attempts to portray psychological

There are artists in our country

they have so far failed to discover
themselves in terms Of their environ
