Classification as Investment
Rather Than Holding
Company Weighed.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,

Associated Press Financial Editor.
(Copyrisht, 1895. by the Associated Press3
NEW YORK, October 9-The
United Corp, focal point Of the huge
Morgan investment in the electric
power industry, is expected in usually
well-informed circles in Wall. Street
to seek classification as an investment
rather than holding company. and
thus avoid regulation under the public
utilities act of 1885.
The United Corp, formed in 1929,
holds big blocks Of stock in some Of
the largest power generating and dis
tributing properties in the United
States, but it has carefully avoided
holding directly an actual majority Of
the shares in any Of these companies.
The public utilities act of 1885, how
ever, classifies all companies holding
more than 10 per cent Of the stock of
any public utility as a holding COM
pany, subject to Federal regulation
United has substantially more than 10
per cent of the shares of four Of the
blkBCl COMPANIES olld NNbAyg W.
gether with its direct investment, is
represented In the control of just over
| so per cent of one major company
| Public Service Of New Jersey.
May Seek Exception.
In registering with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the legisla-
ton provides that company may ap-
ply for an exception, if it can show
that 1t is bona flde investment COM
pany. merely holding its shares for in
vestment and not seeking to influence
the management of the utility.
What the United Corp. will do re-
mains a mystery as far as its man
agement is concerned. Its officers say
that no decision has been reached. 1t
is acknowledged, however, that all
possibilities are being explored, and
sources close to United in Wall Street
express the opinion that it will seek
an exception.
Connections Severed.
Interlocking directorships in the
United Corp. group have been several
recently. Floyd L. Carlisle, chairman
of the boards Of Niagara Hudson Corp.
and Consolidated Gas Corp, the larg-
est generator and distributor, respec-
lively, of electric power in the coun-
try, resigned from the board of United.
Harold Stanley. who recently left j. P.
Morgan & Co. to form the investment
banking house Of Morgan, Stanley l.
Co., Inc, also resigned from United.
Last Spring, B. c. Cobb, who was
then chairman of Commonwealth &
Southern Corp, left the United board.
None Of the present directors of
United are oficers Of an electric power
company.

NEW YORK. October "a price
war in automobile tires is threatened
here, it was reported today in tire
trade circles, because OF heavy dis
counts offered to commercial interests
operating large fleets of delivery cars

Quotations offered such users. 1t was
said, involved reductions ranging as
high as 50 per cent plus 20 per cent

amounted to 10 per cent.
Authorities IN the trade asserted
that the price cutting movement has
been confined so far to the New York

said to believe that the unfavorable
competitive situation would be eased
before the price cutting wave extended
into other centers.

were nearly always ignored. He finally found himself chairman of a committee which could act only on directions from the director of the Shipping Board Bureau James Craig Peacock. an old pal of Rop- CTS, highly regarded by shipping interests.
 After his colleague, Gen. Charles McK. Saltzfnan, had resigned 4rath- CT than risk my reputation" in the Leyiathan deal, and awkward As- sistant Secretary Ewing Mitchell had quit with voluminous charges of scandal, James Monroe Johnson -Mitchell's successor told Wood ward that he probably also would want to quit.
 Roper dangled other jobs before him, but each. time Woodward re- piled that Roper had a legal right to ask for his resignation.
 When Woodward was offered the coal board job. Roper was nudging almost frantically. Although the old job paid only 5000 and the new one $l0,00O, Woodward accepted it reluctantly. He left the prize scandal of the New Deal admins tration sirninering merrily.

branded as . virtual blank check for subsidy seekers. Several mem bers are sharpening axes for ap- pearance of a similar measure.
 On the other hand, the recent departlre Of Thomas M. Wood ward from the shipping board bu- reau makes life far easier for ofn- cials there. Fe was always . great thorn in their efforts to please shipping interests.
 Helped to Beat "Gouge"
 woodward was vice president of the Merchant Fleet Corporation. The more the big shipping com- paries came to dislike him, the more Roper reduced the scope of his work.
 But when Congressman Edward c. Moran of Maine and others came ito him to ask about the Bland Copeland bill, he gave them his honest opinion. which helped them lick the bill.
 woodward is now consumers counsel with the National Bitumi- nous Coal commission, his job be- ing to see that the Guffey act isn't used to skin the pants oil consun1- ITS. His record indicates that he will insist on representing the pub tic.
 He has been in government and private practices here since 1914. For awhile he was AAA's chief hearing officer, but Roper drafted him to the old shipping board and there were orders to "clean up."
 But Woodward found that every time shipping company lobbyists put on the heat. his Tecommenda- tions were ignored.
 Fought Shipping Interests
 woodward objected to huge sal- aries paid shipping company ofii- cials while their companies were in heavy arrears to the government. He fired two or three persons who had been playing very close with the companies. He warned Roper that the National Business Advis- ory councils subcommittee charg- ed with working out Shipping program was packed with ocean mall contractors.
 Considering the advisory com mittee on which he served to be sort of an interstate commerce commission for shipping, and ind ing that surety and other regula- ton had been shot to pieces, Wood ward fought for stringent enforce ment of maritime laws.
 He recommended foreclosure on 8 bankrupt company heavily m debt to the government when he wound the president was still talk ing out $75,0Oo to $l0o,000 . year. Made chairman of special com mittee to review the Black commit tees ocean mail evidence, he made to Roper reports on 22 companies with recommendations for recovery of millions of dollars collected through alleged fraud.
 He riddled the Bland-C Copeland bill before Roper formally approved it.
