Attacks 5. {. T.. Rule
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PTeSS.
NEW YORK, May 14-Samuel
Okin, an attorney and holder of
5000 common shares Of stock Of
Electric Bond & Share Co., filed
suit in Federal Court yesterday to
enjoin the Securities and Exchange
Commission from enforcing its rue
prohibiting registered holding COM
panies or their subsidiaries from re-
gaining any securities of which they
are the issuers without specific au-
thority of the S. E. c.
The complaint maintained that
the S. E. C. had no authority under
powers vested in it by the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of
1884 to adopt the questioned rule.
The complaint asserted that Sec
ton nc of the 1885 act, to which
the rule in question, labeled rule
U-42, is related. does not prohibit
holding companies from purchasing
their own stock in the open market
out Of earned surplus, nor do the
laws of New York State.
On December 81, 1941, with an
earned surplus of $63,116,39l in
GLIDING $4,000, 900 in cash, the Elec-
trio Bond & Share Co. notified the
S. E. C. that it wished to purchase
100000 of its preferred stock in
the open market, the complaint
stated, and in February, 1912, the
Sc. c. authorized the purchase of
100000 of the stock, reserving
jurisdiction as to the remaining

The provision for Federal income

D. A. Crawford, president, told
stockholders that provision for Fed

Volume of Pullman travel in the

Factory Shipments
At New High Marks
By the Associated Press.

BY lne ASSOCIATED PRESS.
The Commerce Department says
manufacturers shipments of prod
ucts to customers reached new rec
ord highs in March and the first
quarter of the year. First-quarter
figures were 81 per cent above the
similar period last year.
An outstanding development of
the year. the department comment
ed, has been the further increase
in shipments of the durable goods
industries.
Rising output of war materials in
this field has so far served to coun-
teract any dampening effect on
aggregate production stemming from
civilian curtailments under the
priorities program.
More than offsetting the decline
in automotive deliveries was a rise
during the interval of almost s4OO.-
100000 in the value of monthly
shipments of the TRANSPORTATION
