oTloeeS OF new hampshire or Repre-
sentative May of Kentucky, for example,
on the investigating committee-at least
that is what Bridges and May believe
very thoroughly. It would be a great
surprise to them If they were appointed.
k* ~
Up in Bangor, Me-, at the Republican
State convention, Senator Bridges, key
note speaker, tore loose yesterday with
vitriolic attack upon the Roosevelt ad-
mlnlstratlon. He charged that the new
depression called recession" was 80
per cent due to Mr. Roosevelt and his
policies. He enumerated "the blessings
Of Franklin D. Roosevelt" First on the
list is a national debt of $40 OOO, 900 900.
Second, deprecated currency, with the
dollar worth SO cents. Third, heavier
taxes than ever before in the history of
the country. Fourth, business in such
state of nervousness that it is func-
tioning at less than so per cent of its
effectiveness There is a long list of
other blessings"
But one thing Senator Bridges said
which may have surprised some of the
Maine Republicans. He said that the
Republicans should go on record as
favoring wages and hours law. This
law, to be sure, would be different from
that Of the Roosevelt administration.
It would have Congress fix a definite
minimum wage and q definite maximum
for hours of labor-without any board
appointed by the President to fix wages
or hours or both.

ed, does not indicate earnings to the

CHECK ON UTILITY
FUNDS is EASED
Some Of Red Tape Hampering
Investment of Holding Company
Reserves Cut Away.

BY the Associated Press.
The Securities Commission cut
away today red tape hampering the
investment of idle funds of public
utility holding companies.
At present, holding company must
get permission for each transaction
in which it buys securities of another
company A new rule adopted today
permits the companies to get prior ap-
proval of a list of securities which
may be bought without further COM
mission procedure.
The commission, however, said the
new rule did not apply to securities
within holding company system, or
to securities which might add new
subsidiaries.
A formal statement said the COM
mission rule was designed to facili-
tate the use Of idle surplus funds of
utility holding companies in diversi-
fed investment programs in both
utility and non-utility securities
Several utility companies have re-
ported to the commission that they
wish to make such investments, and
the rule will assist in that direction.
The total investment funds which
would be liberated cannot be esti-
mated, because the amounts which
might be so employed are subject to
the judgment of the companies di-
rctors.
