POLICY OF DESTRUCTION

In a recent Senate debate, Sena-
tor Wheeler made this observation;
Laws are not always construed
as their authors intended. The Fed
eral Communications Act was con-
strued in a way absolutely contrary
to the intent of those who drafted
the law. call attention to the fact
that at times the Utility Holding
Company Act has been construed
contrary to the views of members
of the Senate, expressed upon the
floor Of the Senate"
The recent legislative trend, un-
fortunately, has been to write laws
In vague and sweeping terms. Loop
holes are left wide open. Ambigu-
Gus language is used. And the in
evitable result is to give the ad-
ministrators of these laws the
chance to interpret them Just about
any way they please.
In theory, the Holding Company
death sentence) Act was designed
to integrate the electric industry,
to protect the utility security-hold-
err and to assure the consumer the
best possible service. In fact, the
Act is now being administered in
a manner which can produce moth
ing save waste and confusion, and
the dissolution of companies whose
standards of rates AND service are
beyond criticism. 1t has been held,
for instance, that some of our fin
est holding companies, serving inn
portant areas, must divest them
selves of large parts of their prop
erties-and often these properties
account for the bulk of the COM
panies' revenues. If that policy
and the utility industry is
broken into small, more or less iso-
lated units, 1t should be obvious to
what will happen to cleo
trio service. 1t is the holding COM
pany principle of operation which
is primarily responsible for pro-
Viding small towns and rural areas
with service as good, as cheap and
as abundant as that enjoyed in
great cities.
This crippling of the electric in
dustry is particularly serious at
this time. We must have a certain,
and constantly growing
supply of power for defense. The
Holding Company Act must not be
used as a weapon to destroy and
an industry which is
4 model of efficiency. Congress
should overhaul all the blanket
laws, with a view to making them
precise and definite. And Congress
rould find no better starting point
han the Holding Company Act

Promotion Of Sport
And Safety Seenin
Swim Campaign
Representative Randolph
Commends Course Of
Free Instruction

Representative Randolph Of West
Virginia, chairman of the House
District Committee, yesterday
praised the value of swimming as
a safety measure and healthful
sport in a letter commenting on
the boys learn-to-swin campaign
to be conducted April IA to 10 by
the Central Young Mems Christian
Association in cooperation with
The Star.
If one life is saved as a result
of the training given, certainly the
Y. M. C. A. and the Washington
Evening Star will have contributed
greatly to public welfare" wrote Mr..
Randolph, adding: This, of course,
is in addition to the great Joy a
youngster knows who can indulge
in the healthful sport of swimming
with his companions and enter into
competitive water games.
Il speak as a parent when I say
the learn-to-swim campaign is
highly commendable. 1 am sure
that every father and mother in the
District of Columbia feels as I do
about this" he continued.
Registrations for the campaign
will close at 6 pm. tomorrow Until
then boys may register for the free
swimming instruction either in per-
son or by mail at the boys "Y'
building, 1892 G street NV. For
their convenience, The Star is run
ming a coupon which may be filled
out and sent to Ralph L. Lewis,
assistant boys work secretary at
the "Y," who is in charge Of en-
rollments.
Colored boys may register at the
Twelfth Street Branch Y. M. c. A,
1916 Twelfth street NV, where they
will receive swimming instruction.
