The U. S. H. A. program having
completed its first year, Mr.. Straus
said he would endeavor to stick to
a schedule Of authorizing approx
mately $4,000 new homes each quar-
terly year until the program is COM
pleted. This would mean an average
OF 5000 new homes a month. al
though he indicated the figure
might vary.
Todays list of loans brought the
total of signed contracts to SO in q
States and Hawaii, involving $265
054000 in loans.
Shelter rent for new homes, he
said. would range from a minimum
OF 81 in San Antonio to maximum

being planned in New York City
Utility services would increase these
rentals by a slight amount.

Mr.. Straus said the U. S. H. A

earning less than 81 100 a year as 8
general rule. He admitted, however
that this cannot become a blanket
rule as in some cases it will be neces.
sary to increase the ceiling to in.
clude families with as much as 81 2O(
year. This would be necessary, he
said, to take care of some familie,
with more than an average number

Antitrust Suit Filed:
By u. 5. Against Giant:
Holding Company =:
Columbia Cos &
Electric Charged With
Monopoly Practices
BACKGROUND


Qniry by Congressional Depart
mental Committee has not de-
tered Justice Department from
Initiating seUeral major anti
trust actions, among them the
proceedings against the Ame1i- -,
can Medical Association gro,Ding
out OF the Group Health con-
trouerSy. As far as utilities are
concerned, Ne1o Deal has directed
much OF its "correctiue" program ~
at practices Of the industry.
By the Associa ed Press.
Attorney General Cummings an
nounced today the Government was
filing an antitrust suit at Whining
ton, Del, against Columbia Gas e.
Electric Corp, one of the Nations
largest holding companies, and its
subsidiary, Warf1eld Natural Gas Co.
The suit, Mr.. Cummings said in a
statement, charges Columbia Corp.
with conspiring since February,
1880, to monopolize the distribution
OF natural gas in Kentucky, West
Virginia, Ohio and Michigan.
The complaint urged the court to
issue an injunction compelling Co.
lumbia to divest itself of its holdings
in the American Fuel g. Power Co.
and of any control over companies
resulting from reorganization of that
system.
Illegal Control Charged.
The Attorney General charged
that Columbia Corp. illegally gained
control over the American Co. and
two OF its principal subsidiaries and
then attempted to reorganize the
system in way favorable to itself.
Columbia Gas & Electric Corp.
dominates the operations of more
than 60 subsidiaries engaged in pro-
ducing electricity and natural, mixed
and artificial gas, Mr.. Cummings
statement said. United Corp, an
investment trust sponsored by j. P.
Morgan & Co., has regularly owned
from 20 to 25 per cent Of its stock,
1t added. Subsidiaries in the Co.
lumbia system serve about 900 cities,
the Attorney General estimated.
In the judgment of the depart
ment,' his statement read, evidence
In the present case shows that the
Columbia Gas & Electric Corp. con-
sidered the American Fuel & Elec-
trio Corp. raider in its territory.
and that the defendants conspired
to eliminate the latter company and
its subsidiaries as cometitors."
To Take Civil Action.
GA raider" in power company
parlance, is an independent CON-
pany which attempts to undersell
gas or power in territory con-
trolled by holding company
The Justice Department decided
to take civil rather than criminal
action against the Columbia system.
Mr.. Cummings said, because "Jhe
TACT that the principal overt act
occurred eight years ago makes it
ineQuitable to institute criminal
proceedings at this date"
II no steps are taken to divest
Columbia Of its holdings in the
American system" he continued,
and the proposed reorganization
OF Inland and Kentucky Ii con-
summated, Columbia will obtain
complete control of the Inland and
Kentucky lines and the trustee of
the American Co. will have no other
alternative than to accept Colum-
bias offer of 100000 for American S
remaining subsidiaries.
