HIS MESSAGE
|. CHEERED IN
HOUSE
"I'm Against Private Social
Ism of Concentrated Private
Power" He Says

President Roosevelt today de-
Tended his fight on the power
trust in a. message to Congress, in
which he smashed headlong into
the power lobbies which have
been attacking the Administra'
tions withholding company pro-
gram.
The message was greeted with
more applause than any Presiden'
tial communication of this session.
The Democrats in the House
rose almost en- masse and Wgor'
ously expressed their approval,
and many Republicans Joined in
as we'll.
In a document in which he de.
MED every charge that the power
trust has been making against the
New Deals efforts to lower light
and power rates, President Roose-
velt reiterated his belief that the
public good will be served by the
disappearance at the end Of five
years of all holding companies
which cannot justify their exist
ence as necessary for the func.
tioning of the operating utility
companies"
Doesn't Belong Here
On the other hand, the Presi.
dent offers a "chance of survival
to those holding companies which
can prove to the Securities and
Exchange Commission that their
existence is necessary for the
achievement of public ends
which private utility companies
are supposed to serve"
The holding company, says the
President in his message today,
is a device which does not be-
long to our American traditions OF
law and business"
There is now a bill in Congress
to regulate holding companies,
and to put out of business such
holding companies as come under
the Presidents classification Of
uSeleSSneSS.
Against this bill an active prop
aganda has been built; and the
President refers to it, handling
the subject without gloves in his
message today. He said:
II have been watching with
great interest the. fight being
waged against public utility
holding company legislation. l

ECONOMYACT
JOB CURB
Penalty on Marriage Seen
BY DR.. StockdaIe in
Federal Law

One of the most powerful broad
sides ever hurled against the mar
ried persons" clause OF the
economy act was delivered today
by DR.. Allen A. Stockdale, pas
tor of the First Congregational
Church, who labelled the law "a
subtle thrust against one OF the
most sacred provisions for a sane
and righteous life"
The pastor was referring to the
charge of those opposed to the
law-that it's provisions, impover-
ishing many, are preventing the
carrying out of marriage plans
conceived before the laws enact
ment.
Marriages Hampered
AS DR.. Stockdale sees it, the eco
nomy act clause, which prevents
both man and wife from remain
ing on Government pay rolls under
the Civil Service at the same time,
is placing "a premium on remain
ing SINGLE" That, he holds, is an
unhealthy situation.
Other clergymen have expressed
similar opinions, although a num-
ber asked not to be quoted because
they regard the question as some
what political in nature, and
therefore, out of their scope.
Dishonesty Encouraged
Commenting on reports that the
law also has brought about sit
uation whereby married persons
in the higher salary brackets are
escaping it's provisions ns-through
wives working under their maiden
nameS-Dr. Stockdale said he de-
tected there a legal encouragement
to deception and dishonesty. He
asserted:
"The married persons clause
seems to me to be subtle threat
against one of the most sacred
provisions for a sane and right
eous life. Men and women work.
ing faithfully together to build
a substantial home life are far
better than a premium upon re-
manning single in order to have
a chance at an honest Govern
ment livelihood
To date a number of bills to re-
peal the married persons" clause
have been defeated, but another
more concerted move toward that
end is on at present. The Ameri-
can Federation of Government
Employees has joined with the Ma
tional Federation of Federal EN-
ployes for this fight and they have
been given the support of the
League of Women Voters and the
National Woman's Party.

With Washington as a base of
operations, the country was prom
iSed today a battle of epithets,
slams, socks, innuendoes, castiga'
tionS, recriminationS and animad-
versions such as has not been
heard since these words entered
the English language.
If you don't know what they
mean, all you have to do for the
next few weeks is to read the
papers or turn on the radio when
ever you see the names of Huey
Long, Hugh johnson or Father
Coughlin.
HOStilitieS Only Begun
From all indications, the hos
tilities inaugurated when General
Johnson took on the other two
at a dinner in New York on
March 4, expressing his opinion
of them in language possessing
pungency and punch, have only
begun.
Senator Huey Long had his in
ming last Thursday, in the Senate,
and Father Coughlin did his best
to nail the Generals hide on the
barn door last night, in a radio
broadcast.
These appeared today, however,
to be only the preliminaries for a
campaign of invective which
seemed likely to spread in a con-
stantly widening circle into all
media of public expression, with
public opinion as final arbiter Of
the wordy war.
General johnson heard Father
Coughlin last night. Within q
few minutes a typewriter was
heard rattling out a reply in his

PRESIDENTS
POWER OVER
RELIEF CUT
Senate to Support Group on
Reducing Authority in
Expending Fund
international News Service

President Roosevelt faced a
minor setback of his $3.50 mil
lion dollar work relief bill today
as the Senate prepared to reduce
sharply his proposed unlimited
authority to spend the huge fund.
AS passed by the House, the
bill would enable the President
to spend the money Ito protect
and to promote the general wei
fare" This authorization was
eliminated by the Senate Appro,,
priations Committee which limited
use of the fund Ito provide re-
lief and work relief" -,
The reduction in authority will
be approved by the Senate. 1t
was reported to be acceptable to
the President.
Longs Charges
Two charges by Senator Long
DO of Louisiana, however,
created a stir in senatorial ranks.
First, Senator Long charged the
Administration with calling in
senators and offering them a
slice of the appropriation for
their States if they would vote
against the McCarran prevailing
wage amendment"
After that, he charged the
President would use the 1880
million dollars as a campaign
fund to secure his reelection to
the White House.
The first charge worried some
Senators, who voted against the
McCarran amendment two weeks
ago, when it was written into the
bill by the margin of a single
vote.
A prominent Republican Sena-
tor said:
81 am now seeking proof
that Senator Longs charge is
correct. If I get it, I'll blow
the roof off the Capitol"
Recall ALLEGATION
The other charge, that the
President would use the fund for
campaign purposes, caused the Re-
publicans to recall the huge allo-
cation of relief funds just before
last November's election and how
local Republican leaders in every
Northern State blamed defeat on
the relief funds.
On the other hand, the Demo
Gratis who opposed the President
on the McCarran issue now fear
their States might be discrim1'
mated against in expenditure Of
the fund.

TO THE CONGRESS OF THE
UNITED STATES:


UNITED STATES:
lam transmitting to you here
with q report submitted to me
by the National Power Policy
Committee. named this COM
mittee last summer from among
the departments of the Govern
ment concerned with power
problems. This report I am sub
mitting to you is the recon-
mendation of the committee
with respect to the treatment OF
holding companies in the public
utility field. It deserves the
careful attention of every mem
ber of the Congress.
The so-called public utility
holding company bill (Title I OF
the House Bill 5423 and of Sen
ate Bill 1725, which was
drafted under the direction OF
congressional leaders, 1ncorpo'
rates many of the recommends
tions of this report.
Unimpressed by 1t
I have been watching with
great interest the fight being
waged against public utility hold
ing company legislation. I have
watched the use of investors
money to make the investor be-
lieVe that the efforts of Govern
ment to protect him are de-
signed to defraud him.
I have seen much Of the
propaganda prepared against
such legiSlation-even down to
mimeographed sheVtS of in
structions for propaganda to ex-
plot the most far-fetched and
fallacious fears. I have seen
enough to be as unimpresSed by
it as 1 was by the similar effort
to stir up the country against
the securities exchange bill last
spring. The securities exchange
act is now generally accepted as
a constructive measure, and I
feel confident that any fears
now entertained in regard to
proposed utility holding COM
pany legislation will prove as
groundleSs as those last spring

CAMBRIDGE WINS

CoxsWain's Daring Is Help

18th Time in Row.

DUTNEY-ON-THAMES, England
- April 6.-Oxford's hopes Of
wrestling British rowing su-
premacy from her classic rival
failed again today when Cambridge
stylish crew swept up the Thames to
an easy victory in their eighty-seventh
boat race.
With daring coXSwain, j. N. Duck

1t was the twelfth successive victory
for the Cantabs and the forty-sixth OF
the series, 40 having been won by the
Cxonians and l ending in dead heat
TT WAS a heart-breaker for the Dark
Blues. Outweighing their rivals 4
pounds to the man, they had voted
to break the Cantabs' "beastly" win
ming streak.
The trouble seemed to be, however
that oxford was trying to toss "Olo
Nather" Thames up on to the Middle
sex shore. kicking up terrific splash
while Cambridge hit a far easier
stroke.
In spots the tide-swept Thames wa.
so rough it was wonder that bott
crews were not scuttled as in 1912.
From the start of the race at Putne,
Bridge, oxford took a back seat anc
kept it to the finish line at Mortlake

HOLDS 10 PACE
Helen RandIett, Champion
of Virginia, Shares U. S.
Doubles Title.

Y JOUR Joe Harrisons, Astor
" Clarkes, Nick Tronskys and
Jack Whites may roll the big
gest scores, but the most re-
markable duckpin bowler in the coun-
try. we believe, is Walter Lawson of
Atlanta, Ga. who shot last night in
the National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress tournament at the Arcadia.
Walters average for BIT games, in
all sorts of competition this season, is
a bit better than 120, which isn't
exciting when compared with the fig
ures of perhaps so other bowlers.
But those others own two strong
legs and a couple of sturdy arms.
whereas Lawson has an able right
arm and left leg that functions not
quite normally.
Lawson is 80 years old, and for 80
years has been a victim of rheu-
matism.
His 1872 pounds are strung over 6
feet and / inch and are knotted
like a fouled fishing line, but he
makes rhythm out of it all. And in
the South he has no superior as
duckpin shooter He didn't do well
in the national tournament probably
because he went sleepless for "a
hours. One of his Cracker companions
mistook the tournament for sociable
party.

title with Olivia Smith, is the singles
