REGULATION URGED
FOR NATURAL GAS
Trade Commission Asks
Joint Federal, State Pro-
qram Before Congress.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A broad joint Federal and State
program to regulate the s2,500 900 ,00C
natural gas and pipe line industry was
recommended to Congress today by
the Federal Trade Commission.
Urging considerable care so Federal
power should not invade the States
prerogatives, the commission set forth
a plan to conserve gas, control mo
nopolistic" activities and to separate
the natural gas from the electric
utility industry.
The report concluded the investi-
cation of utility holding companies
started more than seven years age
| under congressional order.
The first part. dealing with elec-
trio utilities, was presented at the
| last session, and was part of the basis
for the holding company regulation
act.
Proposals Made.
Concerning the gas industry, the
report today said:
Federal jurisdiction. plus the juris-
diction of the several States. should
be utilized and co-ordinated to pro-
| duce effective regulation and the
| termination of existing abuses anc
leave no unregulated twilight zone.
In the nature of things. conser-
vation of the supply Of natural ga.
is primarily of national concern. but
under the country's constitutions.
system. its legislative accomplishment
| is largely for the States. unless ths
Federal tax power or the power tc
enact measures for the common de-
fense can be invoked"
Some statements alleging evils" ir
the industry were:
Vast acreage is being wasted ane
natural gas is being subjected to
| prof1igate and wanton waste"
Many independent producers O
natural gas are at the mercy of presen
purchasing companies with pipeline
connections in their respective fields.
Interstate movement of natural ga.
is unregulated except to an insignifi
cant and incidental amount"
'The holding company has been tn.
device or vehicle which has largely
facilitated the development of mon
opolistic conditions"
Legislation Urged.
The regulatory plan. in general. call.
for Federal legislation tc prevent tht
movement in interstate commerce o.
gas produced in violation of State
laws and interstate compacts approved
by Congress
Other suggestions seek to protect
independent producers: insure "rea.
sonable" extension of gas facilities tt
communities without them; remove
gas companies from the control ot
electric companies to stimulate com.
petition. and render banking contro

British Officials Say Navy
Discussion Will Go On,
Even Without Japan.
R4TKCROTND-

BACKGROUND
Great Britain long ago armed
herself NTH big many. The er-
cuse Uds her inSuldrity and her
far flung possessions. The United
States, too, developed q large nary
to protect her thousands OF miles
OF codstline and her distant Pa
cifc colonies. The first naval con-
ference. in 1922. ranked Jdpdn's
strength beloo United States and
England. But Japan, pointing to
insularity and 1Uidely spread coll
onies and protectordtes. now de-
mands equality NTH the Occiden-
tai nduies. AS result, hope OF
continued naval limitation seems
doomed.

LONDON, January 10.-Britisf
official circles said today that Il
Japan withdraws from the Interna.
tional Naval Conference the parley
will not collapse but will become 6
six-power conference with the inclu.
sion of Germany and Soviet Russia.
Reliable sources earlier had statee
the United States and Great Britain
had agreed that the conference shoulc
resume discussion Of Japan's demand
for naval equality, but there ap
peared little likelihood that such
equality would be approved.
The conference had been dead
locked over the Japanese insistenc
on parity with all powers, and mos
observers expected the Japanese Il
withdraw II their demands we're even
tually turned down.
officials said the addition of Ger
many and Russia, If Japan left tn,
parley, might restore some of tn
prestige of the conference. Som
quarters also said it would be a hin
to Japan that Great Britain woul,
move closer to the Soviet Union IL
resisting increasing Japanese strength
in the Far East.
The agreement to reconsider tn
japanese parity demands, it was un
derstood. was reached prior to
luncheon which Anthony Eden, Brit
ish foreign secretary and new presi
dent of the conference, gave for I'm
dersecretary William Phillips of tn
United States Department of State.
A dozen other distinguished guest.
attended the luncheon.
The British arranged to communi
cate with the French anG Italian dele
cations later in the day, but authori
tative quarters indicated an agreement
of all delegations already was assured
New Details Offered.
1t was learned on good authorit!
that the Japanese are presenting new
details OF their parity proposals, which
other delegations previously, had de-
manded but had been unable to OBJ
tain.
All the Occidental delegations wan
to know specifically now the proposed
japanese equality will work out ii
practice and whether Japan intend!
to actually build a feet equal to thos,
Of Great Britain and America.
It further was understood the Unites
States delegation now is considering
formal presentation of Presiden
Roosevelt's suggestion for a 20 per cen
all-around proportional reduction il

Attending today's luncheon, wher
highly important matters were believe,
discussed, were United States Ambas

PRESIDENT KEEPS
DOLLAR CUT RE|NS
Secret Sterilization Fund
Continued for Year by
Executive Order.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSs.
President Roosevelt today extended
for another year his power to shift
the dollars gold content within a 10
per rent bracket and continued in
effect the $4,000, 900 stabilization
fund.
Exercising by proclamation power
granted in the gold reserve act. Mr..
Roosevelt said the emergency"
prompting that measures approval in
1884 has not been terminated by in
ternational monetary agreement or
otherwise, but, on the contrary, con-
tinues and has been intensified in
divers respects by unsettled conditions
in international commerce and finance
and in foreign exchange"
The present dollar is 59.06 OF the
pre-devaluation gold content. Mr..
Roosevelt's action today continued for
another year his power to lower that
content to so per cent Of the old level
or increase it to 60 per cent. Both
this power and the stabilization fund
would have expired January 80 If he
had not acted.
President Silent on Prospects.
The President would not reply to
questions about the prospect of in
ternational monetary stabilization.
The 000,00o,o0O stabilization fund
was created out of the profits accruing
to the Government from the devalua-
ton of the dollar.
1t authorized the Secretary of the
Treasury, upon the approval of the
President, to deal in gold and foreign
exchange and such other instruments
of credit and securities as he might
deem necessary for the purpose of
stabilizing the exchange value of the
dollar.
Operations of the fund have been
closely guarded. There have been
only two official utterances on its use.
On February II. 1885, Morgenthau
advised business that the fund was be-
ing and would continue to be used in
the protection of the dollar at home
and abroad.
Aided Franc Last Summer.
In Midsummer of 1885, French
banking authorities made public an
nouncement that Secretary Morgen-
thau had come to the aid of the franc
by supplying s100, 100000 which were
necessary to bolster their declining
currency.
It is known from daily Treasury
statements that 81 800, 100000 of the
original fund remains intact. That
amount is still in the Treasury. Orig
inally, 5000, 0,o00, 900 was placed in the
Federal Reserve Bank Of New York,
which acts as fiscal agent for the fund.
Whether this account has suffered
loss or enjoyed a profit was not known
publicly.
Treasury officials said not more
than four persons in the entire coun-
try were entirely familiar with the
funds operations. Besides the Presi-
dent and Secretary Of the Treasury,
one of these is Archie Lockhead, who
has personal charge Of the fund in
the Treasury, and an official of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
who executes the orders.

OSSINING. N. Y. January 10
Just 18 minutes were required to put
to death in the electric chair four
young slayers Of a New York police
man-grim aftermath to a crime ca
reer into which they were led by a
middle-aged "Fagin."
Newman Raymond, jr., 81, son of
Maj. Newman Raymond, ST., Alex

evangelist, was the first of the four
to die.
While the elder Raymond, who in
1918 was an independent candidate
for mayor of New York, stood in the
prison yard. emotionally exhausted
and mute from grief, the son walked
slowly to the chair. The fathers re-
quest to accompany him was denied.
At 5-minute intervals, the State
then exacted the extreme penalty OF
Amerigo Angelini, 20; Thomas Gill
bride, 20, and Ray Orley, 81.

degree robbery.
Almost up to the time that Execu-
toner Robert Elliott took charge oi
the four in the death house they hac
hoped for reprieve from Gov. Leh-
man.
Clark had written to the Governor
taking the blame for the youths law
lessness and urging clemency.
Young Raymond prayed as the mask
was slipped over his face. Angelini
kissed a cross. Orley, who claimed he
fired the shot that killed the police
man, mumbled a prayer. None of the
quartet spoke.

Clear, well-opened eyes looking

which begins well, but does not stay
long, according to writer in Pear

nature, not to be relied upon; rest

The Lapps Of Finland

The Laps of Finland wear a long
blue blouse gathered at the waist
with belt and slashed with red and
yellow, tight blue trousers and caps
on which they wear huge red POM
pons. Their shoes are moccasin
OF reindeer hide, bound at the an
kle with red and yellow wooden
bands and turned up at the toes.
Laps sometimes place a certain
type OF grass, which they call shoe
grass, in their moccasins and so
protected, their feet go unframed
on the toughest ground and keep
warm in the coolest weather. Just
as they have for centuries, the
Laps still depend on their reindeer
herds for both food and shelter. The
milk of the deer is made into
cheese, the flesh used for meat, the
skins for clothing, tents and cook
ing utensils. Even the bones are
utilized for needles in sewing and
for the hondo which prevents the
knot of a lasso from pulling too
tight.
