nate the power in the "four-inch
tall" President Roosevelt today
declared that his administration
was leading up to an elimination
of holding companies entirely
not only in the utilities field, but
in other industries.
The President said he had no
objection to investment trusts so
long as they did not vote stock at
| board meeting. He made it clear,
however, that his administration
was determined to get what he
called "the wind and the water"
out of the capital structure Of the
country's business.
UNCERTAIN OF PROCEDURE
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked whether
he would undertake this through
Legislation or through an exercise
Of the taxing power. but he said
he did not know exactly how the
problem would be approached.
He was most emphatic in his
press conference in condemning
the capital structure setup of the
public utilities wherein $13,000,-
000,0 900 in investments is con-
trolled by $500 100000. Then the
President was asked whether he
would eliminate holding com
Ipanies in other fields He said
the same rule should apply.
Specifically. the President cited
the point of a bank which comes
under the domination of a big
central bank. He asked the press
conference why that bank could
not be allowed to run itself with
Government supervision.
CITES WILLKIE DATA
The Presidents discussion of
holding companies developed
from questions about a memoran-
dunn left him on November % by
Wendell Willkie, head of Com
monwealth Southern. He read
the highlights of the memoran-
dunn.
On WILKES proposal that utility
valuation be established by court
rule as of given date and
thereafter under the "truth-in-
investment" principle, the PreSi-
dent emphatically said he thought
it was wrong for the Government
to admit a crime had been COM
mitted and still leave the water
and wind in the capital structure.
WILKES proposal for modifica.
ton of the so-called death-sentence
clause was referred to by the
President as another instance Of
the "4-inch tail trying to wag the
96-inch dog"
Willkie objected to Federal loans
and grants to municipalities for
construction Of power plants. The
President pointed out that the
municipality was entitled to do as
it pleased in such matters and
that this was not a matter of
Government jurisdiction.
DOUBTS OPERATING HARM
Asked if such grants were not
a direct Federal subsidy, the
President said he saw little differ

Sources Of This Body Regulator

>
Vitamin c is produced by plants
during their growth. 1t is found
in juicy stems, bulbs, roots, tu-
bers and fruits.
Outstanding among the fruits
are the citrus family, including or
anges, lemons and grapefruit; to-
matoes and cranberries. Raw
cabbage is a good source as is
watercress.
So important Is vitamin C that
one or more generous portions Of
vitamin erich food should be
consumed daily, preferably at ev-
cry meal.
Orange and tomato juice have
been used INTERCHANGEABLE for
quite some time as convenient
and easily available source of vi
tamin c. In recent years, some
experiments performed at a lead
ing university have given a high
ranking to cranberries on this
score, so that they, too, may be
ranked as significant source Of
vitamin c.
These brilliant little red berries
come into market in the fall--the
very time when it is important to
eat generously of fruits to fortify
the body against fall and winter
ills. Their tart flavor helps to
stimulate appetite and their fruit
acids promote intestinal tone.
Neither the maturity nor variety
OF the fruit appears to have any
influence on the vitamin content,
and even when cooked, as whole
fruit sauce, they retain from rs to
80 per cent of the original vitamin
c content of the fruit. Cranber-
ries are also fair source Of vita
min A which is not impaired by
cooking, and they contain iodine,
iron, copper and manganese.
Because they are such versa
tile fruit, cranberries can be uti-
lized throughout the menu and at
any meal. Thus orange and to-
mato juice may be varied at
breakfast by serving a cranberry
conserve, jelly or sauce, or cram
berry juice cocktail. For lunch or
dinner, this same fruit may be
served as an appetizer; with the
meat course; or used to make q
variety of attractive desserts.
If vitamin C-containing foods
are included generously in the
daily diet, the homemaker may
well feel that she has provided
her family with an important
form of health insurance.
