plies in the United States had dwin-
died to the lowest level in recent
years, probably to the vicinity Of

was said to be around 10000 bales

A combination of circumstances

Among these were: Effective oper-

To Contest Forced
Sale Of Units
Firms Will Not Try
To Prove Right to
Keep Properties
By TIE Associated Press.

The United Gas Improvement
Co. told the Securities Commission
today that it reserved the right to
show that it could not be forced to
sell investments" in two Connecti-
cut companies.
At the same time. the company
said it would not attempt to prove
a right under the death sentence"
of the Holding Company Act to re-
tain any utility properties in Con-
necticut.
Thomas B. K. Ringe, Philadelphia
attorney. told the commission that a
registration statement covering the
proposed sale of 701,253 shares of
common stock of the Connecticut
Light & Power Co. had been filed.
Sale of that stock. representing
81 per cent interest, will remove
the company from U. G. I. control
and from S. E. c. regulation.
Ringe said that U. G. I. would
not attempt to show that New Haven
Gas Light Co., the Hartford Gas
Co. or Connecticut Railway & Light
ing Co., as we'll as Connecticut Light
& Power-all of which the S. E. c.
has declared TO be subsidiaries
could be retained, and that it would
not add any additional data con-
corning them to the record in the
case.
U. G. I. reserved the right to ap-
peal from a recent order declaring
Hartford Gas to be subsidiary, he
said, since U, G. I. regards its in
terest in that company and in
Bridgeport Gas Light Co. as in
vestmentS.
The hearing was recessed until
April IA after Ringe read his brief
statement, and Commissioner Robert
E. Healy said that meanwhile coun-
sci for the company and S. E. C.
attorneys could confer on the issues
to be tried in the case. A problem
for immediate consideration is
suggested order calling for disposal
of subsidiaries in Arizona, Kansas,
Tennessee and New Hampshire.
While the U. G. 1. has made it
clear that it would not attempt to
prove a right to retain those prop
critics, Ringe said that it reserved
the right to contest the legality of
any 'piecemeaP order" for their di-
vestment.

third can be regarded as hopeful
for him and dangerous for Britain.
There can be no doubt that in Ger
many powerful forces are endeavor-
ing to influence political and mill
tary policy in favor of one or other
of them.
Hitler to Act Soon.
We may expect Hitler's decision
very soon; until then our slogan
must be: BE prepared for any
thing!'' But the first stages of his
new move will make it easy for US
to discern the pattern of his new
campaign and the lines on which it
will proceed
Here, however, We must bear in
mind the importance attached TO
feints by German tacticians. The
German general staff will give bad
marks to any plan or campaign
which does not include at least one
feint We may therefore ask our
selves whether the present action in
the Balkans is intended as a feint
of campaign on large scale. The
real purpose of q drive toward Salo-
nika might be an attempt to force
Greece to conclude peace, but
equally 1t might be the preliminary
TO a large-scale operation in the
Eastern Mediterranean area.
But the fact that Britain has the
military initiative at present has in
duced a decisive change in the gen.
eral basic situation. If she can
maintain it. Hitler's plight will soon
become sorry one in spite of his
