POWER TRUST"
OFFERED Cash.
THROUGH RF C.
Jones' Agency to Give
Needed Capital
BY EARL GOODWIN

Capital guides could easily point
out Jesse Jones as the eighth
wonder Of the world.
He is the man through whom
the New Deal is offering to lend
money to the Power Trust, which,
up to date, has been the target for
everything the New Deal could
throw at a holding company.
Power Trust "big shots" have
come to Washington to confer
with the President and have in
variabIy told him it was no use
trying to expand-the public
simply would not invest in power
and utility stocks. The reason
they gave was the public is
scared to invest while the Admin
istration is running the business
ragged.
JUNIOR MONEY ABSENT
Specific item Of complaint is
that power trust and utility finan-
cierS could not get the public in
tereSted in Junior money" which
Is the Wall STREET fancy term for
common stocks, or any sort OF Sc
curitieS except the very first line
gilt-edged issues.
The Power Trust, which once
could whistle for money and get
it by the bale, complains now it
has to offer its right eye for
money and stories about eXpan-
sion of companies have been only
in headlines.
But along comes Jesse Jones,
and, after talking things over at
the White House with two men,
bers of the SEC, Mr.. Jones an
nounces to one and all that if the
banks will not lend the power
companies money, he will. And,
he makes it clear, he will lend
where the banks would be scared
to suggest it. The RFC rushes
in, he indicates, where financial
angels fear to tread.
EXPANSION NEEDED
There are several places where
electric light and power COM
panies could install a hundred
million dollars worth Of new
plant, it is known. Administra-
ton coaches along the side lines
have coaxed and wheedled-but
all they have been able to get so
far is the statement that if the
utilities could get the money
and there would not be any iva
competition-there might be some
expansion.
To complete the exhibition Of
New Deal marvelS, the power hold
ing companies must have their
dealings with Jesse Jones ap-
proved by the Securities and Elk
change Commission, which is also
the operator Of the guillotine in
the case Of the utility holding
company death sentence. Power
companies are almost crosS-eyed
trying to get the proper view Of
SEC. One moment SEC appears to
be wearing the black hood Of the
executioner: the next moment it
Is as kindly as a Salvation Army
Iassie offering a doughnut.
Over all towers the tall figure
Of Suave Jesse Jones, who turns
out to be the New Dealer who
carries the healing salve for badly
scared power companies.
