Panhandle Eastern
Denies Control by
Other Firms
Company Attorney Says
Operations Have Been
On Independent Bosis
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Counsel for Panhandle Eastern
Pipe Line Co. sought today to refute
a Securities Commission staff ale
cation that it was controlled by
other firms with an assertion that
if they had attempted such control
they have failed miserably."
The opposing contentious we're pre-
sented at arguments before the COM
mission on applications by Pam
handle to be declared not a sub
sidiary of either Columbia Gas &
Electric Corp. or Columbia Oil &
Gasoline Corp. and applications COW
erlng similar aim filed by the
latter companies.
Edward N. Goodwin. Panhandle
attorney, said that the company
had operated its affairs inde-
pendently and with conspicuous
success"
He cited figures to show that its
sales of gas had more than quad
rupled in six years and that its
PIOAlG III 1Ofu was of.JfO.OIf CUIll-
pared with loss of S326.054 in 1885.
Ambrose Selig. S. E. C. attorney,
declared that Columbia Oil was con-
trolled by Columbia Gas and was
an Intermediary company through
which Columbia Gas controlled Pan
handle Eastern.
He charged also that it was neces-
sary in the public interest and for
the protection of investors and con-
sumers that all three companies "be
subject to the obligations. duties and
liabilities" imposed by the Holding
Company Act.
Goodwin said that Columbia Gas
''has no right or power to influence
or control Panhandle Eastern. its
management, directors or business
in any respect whatsoever, and
could not succeed If it tried"
He added also that Columbia Oils
rights in the Panhandle situation
were so limited, so far from any ef-
fective or material control over Pan
handle Eastern -" that Panhandle
Eastern should not be regarded as
a subsidiary" He said that Pam
handle was primarily a business COR
poration. had no utility subsidiaries
and no income from any utility busi-
ness.

FDR's Whereabouts
Remain Mystery as
Yacht Keeps Mum

WASHINGTON, Aug. y (UP) -
There has been no news since Sat
urday morning from President
Roosevelts yacht Potomac, which
presumably is cruising off the
north Atlantic coast.
During last week brief dispatches
from the yacht were received each
day by the navy here. None of these
radio messages. however stated ex-
plicitly that Mr.. Roosevelt was
aboard the Potomac. They were
confined chiefly to an account OF
weather and fishing conditions. The
last dispatch on Saturday said that
the Potomac was anchored in fog.
Since Mr. Roosevelt left New
London. Conn. Aug g. on the Vaca-
tion cruise, there have been per-
sistent rumors that he had or would
meet British Prime Minister VIM
ston Churchill, perhaps on a war
ship on this side of the Atlantic
The rumors have been neither con-
firmed nor denied.

by which the controls will be exer-
cised. Previous statements have in
dicated, however, that they would
include a requirement for a larger
down payment, a reduction in the
time allowed for payment. and re-
strict.ons On bank loans to financ-
ing companies.
Thus a housewife contracting to
purchase vacuum cleaner on the
installment plan might be required
10 make down payment of $40 on
the total cost of $50. instead of $40
as heretofore Also, she might be
required TO complete the payments
in six months, instead of r. She
could, however, purchase the clean
er on her open account at the de-
partment store without any restric-
tons.
Officials said that if the volume
of open account purchases of dur
able goods becomes too great the
restrictions could be extended to
cover them.
Small personal loans from banks
would be subject to regulation, it
was explained, if the funds are TO
be used TO purchase durable goods.
Thus it may become more difficult
TO borrow money TO pay for new
automobile.
Officials indicated that the regu-
lations will affect the automobile
business hardest because approx
mately $500 900, 900 of the $1,000
100000 in outstanding installment
accounts represents automobile
sales.

Draft Sentiment

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. (UP)-
The first test vote in the house to-
day indicated support of the ad-
ministration's program to retain
selectees, guardsmen, reservists and
regulars in the army beyond their
original terms of duty.
b. a teller vote announced as
1876 to lac, the house rejected an
amendment to strike out of the eX-
tension resolution a congressional
declaration that the national inter
est is imperiled and to set up a
system for retaining selectees on a
voluntary basis only.
This amendment was a key part
of the program offered by non-
