President Grunted
Control of All
Communications

WASHINGTON - The senate
Monday passed a house bill grant
ing the president seizure and con-
troll powers over the nations tele-
phone, telegraph and cable facili-
ties, after defeating a limiting
amendment sponsored by Sen.
Robert A. Taft. r., o.
The measure now goes 10
the White House for Mr..
Roosevelt's signature.
Action came on a voice vote
after Chairman Burton X.
Wheeler. D., Mont. of the inter-
state commerce committee assured
the senate that no permanent
governmental communications con-
troll was contemplated.
The senate voted down Taft's
proposal. which would have limited
presidential seizure powers to
communication properties valued
at less than $4,000. 900 except in
case of invasion. The Taft
amendment would have required
specific congressional appropris-
tons before seizures of larger
properties.
NO GENERAL SEIZURE
Wheeler said he had been as
sured by Federal Communications
. Commissioner James L. Fly that
no general government seizure Of
communications lines is contem-
plated "at present" but added that
federal control of wires in certain
endangered territories might be
necessary.

Stock Market Drifts
Slightly Lower in
Profit Cashing
Scattered Firm Spots
Persist, but Peace
Fuvorites Ease
BY VICTOR EUBANK.


NEW YORK. Nov. 10.-While
scattered firm spots persisted in to-
days stock market, and selling Of
war issues dried up appreciably,
there was enough profit cashing in
the bulging peace favorites of Mon
day to bring generally downward
drift.
Declines of fractions to a point or
more were widespread at the start,
Volume dwindled substantially on
the reaction, however, and assorted
recoveries cropped up after mid
day. Minor declines predominated
at the close. Transfers of around
100000 shares compared with 1907
643 the day before.
Wall Street continued bullish over
the news from North Africa, Egypt,
Russia and the South Pacific, but,
on second thinking, the idea arose
that peace buying might have been
overdone, as well as liquidation of
other groups.
In addition, there was the usual
tightening of commitments in prep
aration for tomorrow's Armistice
day holiday when the country s
principal exchanges will recess.
Motors gave good account OF
themselves with Chrysler edging
into new top territory for the year
and General Motors being in the
bid class most of the session. U. S.
Rubber touched a peak mark for

Chicago Grain

BY Lhe Associated PreSS.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-A marked
decrease in activity, some of which
could be attributed to usual pre- -holi-
day dullness, was the only feature of
the grain market today.
Prices generally were minor frac-
tions under yesterdays close during
most of the session, with rye dis
playing the most weakness, but trad
ers took only a casual interest in the
market in view of the fact that
. there will be no trading tomorrow
Armistice Day.
A waiting attitude prevailed, par
ticularly in regard to the price CELL
ing on wheat flour. Some traders
felt the Commodity Credit Corp
might be forced to permit farmers
to redeem wheat from the Govern
ment loan and sell it on the open
market.
Wheat closed 4 lower to "a high

corn was 1s-3s lower; December

North American Co.
Tests SEC Power
In Court Appeal
Company With D. c.
Subsidiaries Contests
Constitutionolity
Fy the Associated Press.

~ tEe Associated PfeSS.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The North
American Co., electric utilities firm,
today contested the constitutionality
of the death sentence" section Of
the Holding Company Act.
The company said in a reply brief
that the forced sale or other disposal
of property held by holding COM
panies was not within Federal con-
troll.
Such an extension of Federal
power, it asserted, would nullify the
basic constitutional conception that
the Federal Government possesses
only delegated and limited powers -
The brief was filed in the second
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals which was to hear arguments
by opposing counsels of the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission and
the North American.
The firm has appealed commits
sion death sentence" order of April
IA directing North American to dis
pose of most of its properties other
than the Union Electric Co. of
Missouri.
Other North American properties
include Wisconsin Electric Power
Co. Of Milwaukee, the Cleveland
Electric Illuminating Co. and the
Washington Railway & Electric Co.
of Washington, D. c.
In the reply brief, North Ameri-
can Counsel Charles E. Hughes, jr.,
said the ownership of property re-
ferred to in the death sentence"
was Enthusiastically an intra-
State matter
If the SEC theory of Federal pow
er were sustained, the North Ameri-
can brief argued, "it would involve
an extension which is both vast and
unprecedented and which effectively
nullif1es the basic constitutional
conception that the Federal Gov
ernment possesses only delegated
and limited powers and that the
subject of an exercise of power de-
rived from the commerce clause
must in fact have direct relation to
the regulation of actual interstate
commerce"
Assistant Solicitor of the SEC
Milton v. Freeman. in oral argu.
ment before the Appellate Court
said that the type of regulation
selected by the commission is rea-
sonably related to the congressional
power"
Mr.. Freeman asserted that "tht
act is aimed at the destruction O.
an evil" and further argued tina
Congress had held that the Nation.
wide holding company device is al
evil and must be eliminated"
The court reserved decision in thu
case.

machinery of the Owl was ready tt

machinery Of the Owl was ready to
start.
The propaganda leaflets which
were dropped in North Africa urging
the French not to resist were writ
ten in London-and in the hand Of
Gen. Eisenhower. 1t was believed
that pamphlets, telling our troops
what to expect, were prepared here
by the Army-in great secrecy.
The offensive propadanda
from this country was designed to
confuse the Germans as much as
possible. A story was allowed to
leak out of Liberia, revealing pres
ence of American troops-and sup
posed threat to Dakar.
One day week before last, an
Owl official strolled into the press
room at the War Production Board
and coyly dropped the news-in a
loud voice which all could hear
that Gen. Eisenhower was repeatedly
returning to this country.
Generals Brother Embarrassed.
Gen. Eisenhower was definitely
missing from London. Correspon-
dents checked the Office of Censor
ship here to see if the story could
be printed. Censorship, tipped off
said it was all right.
The story was printed, got back
to Germany Immediately. At the
time, Gen. Eisenhower was on his
way to Africa.
This particular incident created
some embarrassment for Milton
Eisenhower. For his brothers wife
heard the news and prepared for a
visit by her husband She called
Mr. Eisenhower in an effort to get
some news about the general.
He told her merely that the War
Department had not confirmed the
report. She was expecting the gen.
eral up to the hour when the in
vasion began. Mr. Eisenhower
however, made sure she was near
a radio at 9:l0 pm. Saturday.
