The Holding Company

Destruction Of "all holding com
paniesr would revolutionfze indus
trial America. Its bitterest effects
would be felt by the millions Of cit-
liens who own stocks and bonds,
and by the banks and insurance
companies to which they have en-
trusted their savings. For, as iinan-
cial experts pointed out, about half
of the widely-held securities out
standing in this country represent
corporations which are wholly or
partly holding companies by nature.
The big board" OF the New York
Stock Exchange, the worlds princi-
pal market place for securities, lists
hundreds Of concerns OF this kind
concerns whose stocks are owned by
the butcher, baker and candlestick
maker, as we'll as large investors.
The holding company came into
existence and has remained In exis-
tence for a very good reason-it
gave the people better services and
products for less money. Utility
holding companies have been largely
responsible for the amazing prog
ress made by the gas and electric
industries. Banking holding COM
panies for automobiles, petroleum.
processed foods, clothing and a hun
dred other commodities have been
mighty factors in improving the
American standard OF living to
where it is the best in the world.
The holding company, by provid-
ing unified control and production,
lessons and eliminates waste. 1t
provides the most efficient manage
ment 1t is able to produce, distri-
butte and sell products and services
at a minimum cost. To a far great
er extent than most of us realize,
American Industrial supremacy de-
pends on the holding company.
The public should be adequately
protected against holding company
abuses by any other form
Of business or political manipula-
tions. If present laws are ineffec-
tual, they can be rewritten. But you
can't entirely destroy the holding
without uprooting Ameri-
can industry as We know It today

 Bradley said the policy committee of the Fairfield County Republican organization would meet here Mon- day night, and probably would rec ommend purge" of old-line and re- actionary elements in the party"
 Bradley said the party lost power, not because of the rise of the New Deal, but from sources within our own party"
 "The grievous sores which came to light as 8 result of recent inves- tigations," he said, were engen- dered by the same thing which made election returns fall off,"
 Bradley struck out at "a small group of people who have held the Republican organization in the state tightly in their grasp as 8 closed corporation"

 The grand jury in its report criti- cized the payments by the city of approximately three-fourths of a million dollars to Coppeto and the Abrigador Diggers, his company. The bench warrant issued for his arrest charged that he fled the jurisdic- ton of the state" about January 30. His brother, Ralph Coppeto, is also under arrest, charged with be- sing an associate in the Abrigador Diggers, and counsel to Phil In advising him to leave the state.
 Coppeto refused to say where he haA been during his absence from the city. His counsel Attorney Sid- ney s. Cassel also refused to con- ment. It was learned, however, that Coppeto was not out of the country.

 swamps where their tribe has lived for centuries, while overhead droned the most modern fighting planes of the Navy.
 The Indians, who preserve the primitive traditions of their ances- tors, already had led white search CTS into the fringes of the great swamp, and they had no faith that the kidnapers, being white men, had got into the interior where only Seminoles are safe from a savage nature.
 We search everglades where auto- mobile go, but not there," Henry Cy- press, one of their leaders, said Lazy white man not carry boy far from automobile, because him too heavy and him child and him not afraid to fight. Boy kick and throw arms. White man not carry him far"
 The Navy authorized the use of all available aircraft in the region.
 The army of civilian volunteers which had covered all of the red lands farming district, almost all of the sea front, and the fringes of the Everglades in an inch-by-inch search for a body and for clues, was disbanded. Today's searchers num- bered but approximately 150 and comprised only G-Men, other law enforcement officials, and civilian specialists, such as divers and the Seminole trackers.
 The father seemed to have at last abandoned the shreds of hope which he had retained since Tuesday when the kidnapers, having collected a $l0,000 ransom, failed to keep their promise by notifying him where he could find his baby.
 Today marked the end of a week since Baby Jimmy was stolen. The kidnapers broke into the Cash home last Saturday night. Early Tuesday they collected their ransom. We'd nesday, Thursday, and Friday, the G-Men questioned scores and at one time had under arrest as many as eight men. Today they held only M. F. Braxton, Princeton carpenter, and his son-m-law, Ray Rayburn,- the first two taken into custody.
 There had been many leads, but all led no where. One of these seemed to indicate late yesterday that the body of the child had been located. Possemen found torn bit of cloth- ing, apparently piece of garment, near water-filled rock pit at Tav- ernier. The cloth was stained, ap- parently with blood. But a search of the pit revealed nothing.

Summer Jobs! Social Security Ac- count Number Re- quired Counts
 for Old Age
 Benefits.

Summer jobs, even on a part time or temporary basis, require a social security account number, Robert E. Austin, manager of the Waterbury field office of the so- cial Security Board, announced today.
 t'Be sure to have an account number when you first get on the job," was MT. Austin's advice to students, teachers and other new employees who expect to work this summer for the first time in a job covered by Federal old-age insurance.
 Employers and employees can get the necessary application blank by writing or telephoning the Social Security Board field office, 108 Bank stree., waterbury, Connecticut, or at the post office in any city or town where no field office of the board is main- tatned, 1t was stated.
 Among typical seasonal work, covered by the Federal old-age
 insurance program and requir- ing an Identification number for the employer and a social security account number for the employe, MT. Austin listed: Roadside stands, tourist camps, boys and girls summer camps operated for private profit, boathouses, hotels, amusement parks, bathing resorts, and other business enterprises having one or more employees.
 Even though the wages may be small and the job lasts only a short time, the pay is counted towards Federal old-age benefits, according to MT. Austin. Meals, living quarters, or board and room are counted as wages when furnished to the employe in re- turn for work. he said.
