HOLDING COMPANY
CLAIMS DISPUTED
Rayburn and WiIIkie Engage
in Bitter Debate Over
Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A bitter debate ragged today be-
tween Representative Rayburn. DEM
ocrat, of Texas. advocate OF the anti
holding company bill, and Wendell l..
Willkie, president of the Common
wealth & Southern Corp.
Rayburn issued statement saying
WILKES testimony against the pend
ing bill had convinced him the sup
posed eagerness of the holding COM
panies to accept Federal regulation is
largely lip service"
Swinging back in fiery fashion, the
utilities official called Rayburn de
stroyer" and accused him of playing
politics.
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt
sent the Communications Commission
into an investigation of another angle
of the utilities question. A congress
sional resolution which he signed yes
terday authorized the commission to
spend S750,0O0 on a broad inquiry
into the capital structure, services and
affiliations of the American Telephone
g. Telegraph Co.
Less Drastic Bill.
The House Interstate Commerce
Committee. going ahead with hear
ines on the Rayburn bill to abolish
holding companies five years hence
unless they can satisfy the Govern
ment of their usefulness, had before
it a proposal by one of its own men,
bers for less drastic legislation.
Representative Pettengill, Democrat,
Of Indiana advanced the substitute
proposal yesterday. One item in it
would restrict the voting OF h7lding
company stock to prevent pyramid
ing" of corporate control and absentee
MANAGEMENT. Another would make
holding companies furnish services
and supplies to operating companies
at actual cost" and ct not more than
the price in the open market.
This is to prevent milking of
operating companies" the 1ndlanan
said. He added his proposal would not
force the abolition of holding COM
panies nor the statutory liquidation
of their securities.
His suggestions shared interest with
the fight between Rayburn and
Willkle.
Prejudice Claimed.
The Commc lwealth e. Southern
executive declared Rayburn had step
ped down Ito enter the prosecution
and preiudge the case which he is
presumed 20 be hearing impartially in
the public interest
Rayburn, who introduced the con-
troversial bill after conferences al the
White House. said Mr. WILKES atti-
tude" convinced him President Roose-
Welt was right when he declared: 1T
is idle to talk of the continuation of
holding companies on the assumption
that regulation can protect the public
against them"
Preston Arkwright. an official OF
the Georgia Power Co.. was on the
stand when Pettengill made his pro-
posal, having Just asserted that the
withholding company bill was just
the sort of thing President Roosevelt
had condemned" when he was Gov
ernor of New York.

TO Philadelphia. Harmon was drfv-
ing down Railroad. Avenue from East
Pine Street. IN a nOrtherly direction.
Upon reaching the intersection Of
South Railroad Avenue and East
Market Street, he turned directly in
front Of the approaching train, as
if he were going IN the direction OF
Milton. The truck was carried from
Market street 10 the Cooper street
crossing, dictance OF more than
half block. The train was stopped
as quickly as possible and Harmon
crawled out of the truck cabin, not
having received a scratch. He said
II was rough riding, but felt n0ne
the worse by his experience that
he was a little nervous. Crossing
Flagman John r. Wilkins was stand
ing at the crossing at the time. and
had displayed warning signals and
blocked traffic on both sides of the
tracks. Harmon stated that he did
not see the approaching train or the
crossing watchman. The presump-
tion is that he was watching the
line Of cars on both sides of the rail-
road, thinking possibly that they
had slowed up before making an at
tempt to cross. Harmon is said to
have stated to the crowd who soon
assembled that the accident was due
to negligence on his part in not OBJ
serving carefully.
