His final brief in the matter was
widely classed as one of the most
able documents of its kind ever
presented before an American court.
One of those who listened to Mr..
Holden present his final argument
in the case was James j. Hill,
who for many years directed the
1estines of the system that con-
rolled the Burlington. He was SO
impressed with the attorneys pre-
sentation of the case that before
he argument was conducted he sent
out the edict, Don't let that man
escape"
Career Is Changed
There was no evidence that MIR.
Holden wanted to escape or that
he intended to be anything but a
lawyer. However, the course of his
career was changed then and there
and eventually led him to the pres
dency of the Burlington system
md later to the post of chairman
Of the executive board of the South
ern Pacific.
Occupancy of those positions must
have appeared far beyond Mr.. Hol-
denis reach. even if he ever dream
ed of it, when he was called upon
to handle his first bit of railroad
legal work. After completing his
education in eastern colleges, he re-
turned to Kansas City, Mo, and
affiliated with law firm that rep
resented the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy in that CITY, One OF
the first duties entrusted TO him
was to act as the company's agent
at the sale of few old box cars
on a siding a few miles outside the
city. He rode out to the cars on
switch engine and waited there all
day. Meanwhile, officials in the
city called eff the sale and forgot
about the young attorney. He
walked back.
Mr.. Holden was born at Kansas
City, August IL, 1869. After at
tending public schools he went to
Williams College at Williamstown,
Mass, where he was graduated in
1890. He then pursued his legal
gtudies at Harvard Law School.
While at college he met Miss Elean-
or Weston. whose father was found
or of the Weston Mills at Dalton,
Mass. They were married when
MIR. Holden was a young attorney.
They had three children.

icas should profit individually from
any action taken.
Views of Other Delegates Met.
His suggestions for combating
subversive activities also were broad
enough to meet the views of most
other delegates, establishing the
common concern of all 81 republics
if any one of them should face acute
fifth column" perils, but leaving
each nation free to act in its own
sovereign capacity in any specific
steps undertaken. OF major Signifl-
canoe is that the proposed resolu-
ton would put the united support
of all the Americas behind such in
dividual action, which might go so
far as depriving Nazi diplomatic and
consular agents who engaged in
activity inimical to American tran
guilty and integral sovereignty of
their diplomatic immunity and
making them subject to prose-
cution under national laws. This
provision, calling for a reason
able limit on the personnel of for
eign missions, was of particular con-
Germ to a number of Latin American
countries in which NaZi propaganda
and organization work has been car
ried on by agents operating under
diplomatic immunity.
Development of sentiment for
effective implementation of the pro-
gram outlined under United States
leadership was accompanied by in
creaslng belief among many delega-
tions that any nation which might
hold out against cooperation in
achievement of the objectives of
vital common concern should be
left to shift for itself while those
in agreement went forward in closer
unity. The possibility of majority
action, if unanimity upon matters
of fundamental importance could
not be attained, was freely dis
cussed in private conversations
among the delegations. Here again,
however. the decision was dependent
upon United States leadership.

nous action, even if it involved Civ

phasized the necessity that this con-
ference result in an effective pro-
gram Of joint action because it was
being watched closely from Berlin,
Rome and Toxic for signs of lack
of solidarity or any precedents that
could be distorted into Justification
for further unilateral seizures of
territory in Europe and Asia. He
feared such distortion might be
made If the United States should
have to act alone to prevent terri
torial transfers in this hemisphere,
as might be the case If united
front were not achieved here. He
was reported convinced tonight that
both pitfalls had been avoided.
Assailed Complacency.
In urging plans for definite pre-
ventive action against dangers likely
to become acute at any moment, in
stead of mere agreements to consult
after they had developed, Mr.. Hull
was understood to have insisted, in

could not afford to remain compla-
cent or expect protestations of peace
and neutrality to render them i'm
mune. He pointed out that some
runaway countries were bent on
conquest without limit and such
tactics never had been known to
stop voluntarily.
One OF his first tasks was to dis
pei the fear and misunderstanding
of motives created by German
propaganda to the effect that steps
designed solely to defend the inde-
pendence of all the Americas con-
stituted Yankee imperialism and
anti-Nazi actions justifying retalia-

ference been in this respect that it

The Social Security Board yes
terday asked all State employment
directors to discourage excessive
migration of labor to centers of ma
tional defense industry.
Coils Stocking, the boards assist
ant director, told a conference of
State directors of employment Sc
curity agencies and of employment
services that the defense program
placed on them responsibility for
regulating the labor market to pre-
vent gluts.
Likewise, he said. it was the duty
Of the directors to stimulate an

Jobs which must be filled without
delay.
AS an example of the result of un-
regulated job rushes, he said:
The announcement of the con-
struction of the naval air base in
Corpus Christi, Tex, resulted in an
influx of workers so great that the
city and private agencies were faced
with the serious problem of making
provisions for the work seekers.
"A similar situation has arisen
In Detroit.
Let us hope that we shall be able
to develop some effective means of
discouraging such socially wasteful
migration in the future.

Little Difficulty on Economy.
There was little difficulty from
the first in reaching agreement on
the United States objectives for
bolstering inter- American economy
with details to be worked out in
later specific negotiations.
Included in the economic plan is
expansion of the Inter American
Financial and Economic Advisory
Committee into the chief consulta-
tive medium for later individual or
collective negotiations among the
republics.
One of the first tasks before this
committee is solution Of the prob
lem of export surpluses, possibly
through, their purchase and with
drawal from the market by a CO.

States financed-agency and by
Export-1mport Bank loans to gov

through the emergency.
The aim of both immediate and
longer-range plans of developing
the inter-American economic sys-
tenn through commodity trade
agreements was said to be to enable
any of the republics to be indie
pendent of non-American pressure
In disposition of their products.
One authoritative source, in COM
menting on the economic agree

American republics so independent
that they could tell any foreign GUS
