PRESSURE PUT
ON HOUSE FOR
:. LEGISLATION
Utilities Industry Musters
All Strength to Fight
Rayburn Bill
ACTION ON NEW IVA
AMENDMENTS GOAL

WASHINGTON, June IL. (UP)
The administration began a pres
sure drive on the recalcitrant
house today to complete the New
Deals "must" program through
passage Of the Wheeler-Rayburn
utilities holding companies bill and
the proposed iva amendments.
Defeated in the senate, where
the bill that would abolish all un-
necessary utility holding conf
panies by 1912 was passed Sc to
80. the utilities industry mustered
its forces for a last ditch fight.
The committee of public utility
executives issued q bitter state
ment promising fight against the
bill in the courts, if it becomes
: law, on the ground that it is un-
constitutional.
Democratic leaders in the house,
spurred by the senate vote, moved
to hurry the bill from the inter-
state commerce committee where
it has been held four months by
deadlock. Committee Chairman
Sam Rayburn, D., Tex, who also
heads a special subcommittee
studying the bills "title one"
dealing with abolition of unneces-
sary holding companies. said his
committee was pushing its work
as rapidly as possible.
A break in the deadlock that
would send. the bill to the floor
was, believed imminent. The COM
mittee is divided on whether to
report bill providing abolition,
as Is provided in the bill the SEN.
ate passed, or one calling for reg
ulation. Some Democrats believed
the committee would report reg
ulatory bill to meet the objections
of committeeman holding up the
bill, and then let the powerful ad-
ministration floor forces insert rs
amendments the abolition features
President Roosevelt wants"
The utility executives commit
tee issued q fighting statement
signed by heads of the leading
holding companies Of the country.
1t charged. that the, senate had
taken action ito lengthen the ma
tion's breadlines and obstruct the
efforts of the American people to
achieve the economic recovery 60
nearly within their grasp"
The bill, the executives said,
would block normal expansion Of
the utility industry, affect the saw
ings of millions, cripple q basicai-
ly important service, and repre-
sents :. the major menace threat
ening the national welfare"
Meanwhile, the house admins
tration leadership sought means
to bring the IVA amendments 30
the floor for a vote.
