to knit together a group OF asso-
ciated enterprises, have developed
largely since 1888.
Restrictive Lines Broken.
In that year. New Jersey authorized
corporations to hold stocks in other
corporations. Prior to this action,
the holding company had been re-
garded as an unusual corporate de-
vice which might be employed only
upon specific legislative authoriza-
ton.
Many legal authorities have said
that in common law corporations had
no power to hold stocks in other
corporations, and, before 1888. no
State granted this power except in
specific cases.
Among special legislative grants,
one Of the earliest-possibly the first
was that from Maryland to the
Baltimore & Ohio Railway in 1882.
The road was authorized to buy stock
of the Washington branch road. It
acquired two-thirds of the outstand-
ing securities and became a parent
company.
Other States also authorized rail-
roads to buy stock in companies, but
most of those receiving this power
were operating as well as holding
corporations.
One Of the first agencies that was
purely a holding company was the
Continental Improvement Co., which
in 1868 procured from the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature a charter giving
full power and authority to hold and
own securities Of any form, either as
collateral or otherwise. and to dispose
OF the same at pleasure"
The Legislature later granted q
series Of such charters, and because
many were thought to have resulted
from Legislative favoritism, the State
constitution was amended in 1874 to
deprive the lawmakers of power to
pass special laws creating corpora
tions.
Spread to Other Fields.
From railroads, holding companies
spread quickly to other fields, partic-
ularly public utilities.
The American Bell Telephone Co.
was one of the first holding compa-
nies for utilities, being created by a
special Massachusetts, charter in 1880.
1t was authorized to hold stocks in
other corporations using its telephone
patents.

The personal holding company,
which the Treasury contends has been
used by wealthy persons to cut tax
payments, is the newest addition to
the big family of holding corpora
tons.
Under the law a personal holding
company is defined as one which
receives 80 per cent or more of its
gross income from royalties, dividends,
interest, annuities and capital gains,
and In which so per cent of the stock
is owned by not more than five per-
sons.
In hearings before a Senate House
committee studying tax evasion and
avoidance, Treasury officials have as
serted that such companies have been
created by rich taxpayers for the pur-
pose Of avoiding income taxes.
These incorporated pocketbooks, j"
they contend, have enabled taxpayers
to take advantage of deductions not
permitted on individual income tax
returns.
Developed Recently.
The personal holding company
largely has ben developed in the last
dozen years. It may be created for
variety Of reasons, often serving
as an instrument through which an
individual may oentralize control over
several properties.
1t may be used as an automatic
income distributor for families or q
group Of business associates. II a
man has a 100000 annual income,
for instance, he could create personal
holding company, assign 1t his income
and distribute ownership among men,
bers OF his family. When dividends
were declared, each member would
receive his pro rata share OF the in

Personal holding companies often
are employed as devices for trading
or investment. It would be possible
for a small group of persons to
organize one, employ experts in Sc
curities and trading and share the
profits that were paid out in divi-
dends.

LONDON, July 3.-Informed Jewish
sources asserted tonight the British
Royal Commissions report on Pales-
tine, expected to be made public next
week, will recommend division OF the
Holy Land into three parts-a Jewish
state, a permanent British-mandated
area, and an Arab state.
The report will go to the League Of
Nations Mandates Commission for de-
cision on the future status of Pales-
tine. where Jews and Arabs have bat
tied periodically for years.
The commission investigated the sit
uation after last years Arab general
strike, in opposition to continuance
OF Jewish immigration to Palestine and
ownership Of land by Jews and the
widespread disorders attending it.
Britain, supervising Palestine under
League mandate, promised in the Bal
four declara ton of 1917 to make it "a
national home for the Jewish people"
Jewish informants outlined the
commissions plan as follows:
The Jewish state will comprise the
Upper and Lower Galilee Valley; the
Esdraelon coastal plain from Rasel-
nakura in the north to Beertuvia in
the south; the greater part of the
Beisan area, and the towns OF Haifa,
Safad, Acre and Tiberias.
The British area will include Jeru-
salem, Bethlehem and Nazareth as
well as a corridor on either side of
the Jerusalem -Jaffa road by which
Arabs would have access to the port
Of Jaffa.
The remainder Of the country will
constitute an Arab state, to be joined
to Trans-Jordan, a British inundated

Already inside Santander Province
the insurgents found only small bodies
of government trops who sought only
to slow the advance and fed as the
insurgents pressed on.
The whole character of the civil
war in Northern Spain has changed
since Bilbao fell June 10. The once
proud Basque fighters, beaten on their
own ground, appear willing to accept
defeat and end wars horrors.
Although the insurgent drive east
ward ha been physically exhausting,
its ardor has not diminished.
Supplies and artillery are pouring
forward and planes are soaring over
the countryside ahead. Every threat
enlng- looking position is shelled be-
fore the troops move on.
Meanwhile, at Santona, the Presi-
dent OF the Basque Republic, Jose
Antonio Aguirre, driven from his
homeland, declared today that "our
territory has been conquered. but not
