HOLDING FIRM
LAWS UPHELD

Ample protection is afforded
public utilities from holding COM
pany pressure through State reg
ulation, Edmund w. Wakelee, vice
president of the Public Service
Corporation of New Jersey, today
told the House Interstate Com
merce Committee.
He testified in opposition to the
Administration bill aboliShing
holding companies within five
years.
Both protection of investors
and protection of operating COM
panies which constitute the OBJ
jective of the measure already are
provided, Mr.. Wakelee asserted.
He declared:
"With respect to the pro-
lection of the investors, the
security act was passed for that
express purpose. If it does not
accomplish that end so far as
public utility holding cOmpa-
nies are concerned it should be
amended.
$50 far as protection of the
operating companies is con-
Cerned every operating COM
pany is subject to the laws of
power in the State to protect
some State, and there is ample
power in the State to protect
the operating companies from
any pressure brought to bear by
holding companies or anyone
else. The States are awake to
the situation and have power
to act with respect to these
matters. They are doing it."
He said his company could not
continue to function as going
concern after 1910 should the
bill be enacted.
