THAT UTILITY JOKER
That joker in the corporation bank
utility arrangements from bankruptcy
proceedings filed by investors has
been laid at the door of Tom D. Nc
Keown. According to a statement
made to the Senate judiciary sub
committee, which unwittingly spon-
sored the amendment, Mr.. McKeown
represents Associated Gas & Electric,
dominated by Howard G. Hopson. He
says, however, he did not represent
Associated at the time the amend
ment was drawn. Mr.. McKeown is a
former Democratic representative
representative from Oklahoma.
The joker in question, as previously
explained in this column, would re-
quire five per cent of a company's in
debtedness to be represented in any
suit for reorganization. The real joker
was a retroactive clause, which would
have invalidated proceedings against
Associated by bondholders and would
have permitted Hopson to remain in
power.

The WPA again became the storm
center of a bitter political contro-
versy in Pennsylvania today fol-
lowing charges by Senator Vanden.
berg (RJ Of Michigan that the
Democratic county chairman at
Indiana sought to force political
contributions from WPA workers.
Republicans renewed charges
that similar practices were preva-

while Democratic leaders kept
silent, resting on previouS denials.
Harry w Fee, the chait nan &C
cused by the Michigan Senator,
said:
"WeM see when the commit
tee comes, / have no comment
to make at this time"
Mr.. Fee was accused of writing
a letter to Miss Mary c. Shearer,
a relief worker, at Indiana, de-
manding a $27 contribution on
the threat of depriving her of fu-
ture consideration for appoint
mentS.
Similar charges have been heard
many times in Pennsylvania. most
recently when former Gov. Gift
ford Pinchot and State WPA Ad-
ministrator Edward N. Jones ex-
changed a series Of acrimonious
accusations
Mr.. Pinchot charged the WPA
was being corrupted for political
purposes in Pennsylvania, and SO
informed President Roosevelt by
letter.
To all the accusations Mr.. Jones
has replied with firm denialS. Da-
vid l.. Lawrence, secretary of the

President Roosevelt's $1,137, ,00O.-
900 tax program was menaced to-
day by a threat of inflationiStS
and a revolt against tax levies in
a campaign year.
The Presidents program amazed
a Congress which had prepared
only for replacement of processing
taxes lost when the Supreme Court
outlawe dthe AAA.
Some Democratic leaders insist
ed the program is actually for
$500. 10000 - $500, 100000 farm
taxes and $120, ,000, 1000 to amortize
the soldiers bonus cost.
New LevieS Studied
All additional amounts, they
said, should be clasSed as recovery
of taxes which we're levied, but
temporarily lost as a result Of the
AAA decision.
The far-reaching program to
balance the ordinary budget. how

face with considering new types
of taxes.
