Business Council Is in
Quandary Over Report
on Utilities Bill.
BY PAUL MALLON.


TIME Roper business council has
always been alternately in hot
or cold water. but just now it
L is in its hottest You might
say it Is immersed uncom-
fortably in q scalding quandary.
This collection of business men is
supposed to advise the New Deal. not
harshly, like the Chamber OF Com
merce, but constructively, like an
elder brother. 1t has spoken OH the
N. r. A. and social security phases in
mildly demonstrating, but loving,
tone.
On one thing it has been dumb
the utility holding company bill.
1t has prepared report on that
subject, but the inside dope is it is
AFRAID to make it public. Those
inside say the report 1Dds largely
suggested BY the head OF a New
York bank, Dho thinks the admin
istration bill is worse than bad.
The tone Of it is supposed to be
more like that of an irate father who
feels he must not spare the rod.
G. o. p. Tries to Force 1t Out.
The Republicans have got wind Of
the report and are trying to flush 1t
out into the open. They are also in
tereSted in forcing out another private
council report. in reference to the
banking bill, which Is supposed to be
equally critical.

The New Deal liberals are tearing
out their shaggy locks in anguish
because the Senate Audit and Con-
troll Committee has failed to act on
the Wheeler resolution. This resolu-
ton proposed a $25, 900 senatorial in
quiry into railroad financing. 1t was
approved by the Wheeler committee,
but since then has rested for a solid
month in the conservative Audit and
Control Committee without action.
The liberals are going around say
ing the railroads are trying to smother
the investigation. They even mention
q particular railroad.
There Is no question that the Audit
Committee has taken an unusually
long time. Unless 1t acts shortly
liberal Senator may take the floor
and make some charges against the
committee. You can bank on it that
the resolution will ultimately be
adopted by the Senate.
Congressman Changes Mind.
A certain Western Congressman
signed up as a committeeman to at
tend the funeral Of Senator Cutting,
assuming 1t would be held in New
Mexico. He resigned from the COM
mittee when he found out the funeral
would be In New York.
The latest expose of Washing
ton is the saddest one yet. 1t is q
book called "HQndOut," evidently
tUritten by some one passing
through Washington on a sight
seeing trip. 1t is such an inaccu-
rate exposure OF the New Deal

PHOENIX. Ariz.. May 2 U.P) -
Arizona moved today to prevent
congressional passage of California

might be detrimental to the states
rights to Colorado river water.
James r. Moore, prominent
Phoenix attorney, was named spe-
cial attorney general and will leave
Saturday for Washington to confer
with members of Arizonas congress
SIGNAL delegation. Part of his duties,
it was explained, will be to assist
in preventing approval of legislation
authorizing construction of Parker
Dam without this states consent.
Reports here were that California
congressman shortly would intro
duce bills designed to permit con-
struction of the dam, building OF
which was stopped this week by
Arizona's victory in United States
supreme court. The court held pro-
cedure under which the dam was
being built was faulty.
Moore was named at special
meeting of the Arizona Colorado
River commission.
Arizona has fought construction

WASHINGTON, May . OUP)-The
Bureau of Naval operations today
struck the name of one warship
after another from the list of YES
sells with which it has radio con-
tact as they steamed from west coast
ports into the great Pacific ocean
silences for naval maneuvers. The
fleet is expected to disappear for
six weeks from May to June 10.
The order of Admiral Joseph NJ.
Reeves, commander-in-ch Of the
U. S. fleet, that actual wartime
conditions be simulated as nearly
as possible during these maneuvers
is being effected. Navy department
officials consider these maneuvers
the most important fleet exercises
ever held by the American navy.
Reeves orders were fulfilled SO well
that an atmosphere reminiscent Of
war times permeeted even the Of
1ices of the navy department here.
Reeves has imposed the strictest
silence ever thrown over the U. S.
fleet in peace times. For the next
several weeks the bureau of naval
operations and other headquarters

pect to have nothing more than

with the fleet.
The reason 1or this extraordinary

chise taxes, increased inheritance
tax, an income tax at one-fourth
the federal rate. increased auto
mobile license fees and a per cent
sales tax with food exempt.
There remained for committee
consideration an ad valorem, or
emergency property tax, and sever
ance taxes on natural resources. NO
effort was made TO discuss gross re-
Ceipts taxes, due to almost unanim-
Gus opposition by members of the
steering committee.
Members discussed severance
taxes today. but opinions were SO
varied that they decided to pass the
subject until later. Assemblyman
Alfred w. Robertson, Santa Bar
bara, insisted all severance taxes
would "go right back 10 the con-
sumer."
The committee also delayed dis
cussing an ad valorem tax. Senator
Walter H. Duval, Santa Paula,
chairman of the steering group,
said he believed the legislature
would have to resort to either an ad
valorem or transfer of the auto
mobile tax to raise sufficient
revenue to balance the budget.

the fleet are equipped with the most
modern of radio direction finders,
and Immediately any ship opens

must locate the mother ship on

ROTARY CLUB
ENJOYS FINE
TALK On INDIA

In concluding a most interesting
and instructive account of the his
tory of India, which sparkled with
the exceptionally clever wit of the
speaker, Ramsay Harris. head
master of the Norton school at
Claremont, declared that day OF
reckoning between India is a GER
tainty, but the date Of the reck-
oning is indefinite.
The speaker. who was born and
raised in India, being the third
generation of his British family so
born, briefly traced the history of
India from remote times down to
the present, asserting in starting
his talk that it is impossible to
give more than a sketch of such
momentouS story in the extreme
ly brief time permitted.
In touching the highIghts of
India Mr.. Harris revealed a thor
ough knowledge of its history and
delighted his audience with his
frequent sallies. many of which
were good-humoredly pointed at the
British Empire, its methods and its
reasons for the methods.
He dwelt at some length on the
part Robert Give played in insert.
ing India into the British Domin-
ions and declared that by so doing
the intrepid leader had placed up
ON succeeding generations of Eng
lish a responsibility of which not
even he could have dreamed. He
paid full tribute to Clive's ability
as an organizer and military leader
and wondered what might have
been the course of history had fate
spared Give a few more years with
the possibility that he might have
opposed Washington in the amer
lean Revolution
Conceding that England has
done a better job of ruling India
than it's natives had been able to
do, the speaker admitted that this
does not convince the native lead
ers nor stifle the growing demand
for independence. England's mis-
take, if it made one, was in not
colonizing India, being content in
stead to control it.
He recognized the ability Of Ma
hatma Gandhi in organizing and
prosecuting his peaceful revolution
to such an extent that British in
dustry has been badly crippled, but
declared he cannot visualize uni
ted India because of the extremes
to which religious animosity enters
into all phases Of life.
What the future will develop he
would not venture, except the pre-
diction that strife between India and
Britain must come.
The speaker was presented by O..
C. Horne, who acted as chairman
of the day.

he got a relief job digging in the

The work was hard but Braddock
wanted hard work. Then he noticed
that the exertion had improved his

the spring back in his SgS. He
went around pleading for a fight,
meanwhile acting occasionally as a
sparring partner for a few dollars

he had once been a top flight light

himself for the fight that may open
