|North American Co.
Plans July Common
Dividend in Cash
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 25.-Stoek-
holders of the North American Co
were told by E. L. Shea, president,
at the annual meeting today that
the management would recommend
to directors a cash dividend on
common stock payable in July.
This would discontinue the policy
of the past three and a half years
OF paying quarterly dividends in
common stock of Pacific Gas &,
Electric Co., which Mr.. Shea said
had represented "a distribution OF
the current earnings of North Amer
lean on corporate basis"
In furtherance of its program for
Investment of its public utility
system under orders Of the Securities
and Exchange Commission in accord
with the Holding Company Act, MIR
Shea said, the management pro-
poses that distributions Of liqui-
dating character be authorized
without specific relation to current
earnings.
Mr.. Shea said the first such dis
tribution should be made in July
In the form of ~ shares of common
stock of Wisconsin Electric Power
Co. for each 100 shares of North
American held Of record on date
to be selected in June.
Declaring ut appears undesirable
to continue to report earnings on q
consolidated basis" since this would
require adjustments from one Pc
Rod to another to reflect changes
in holdings, MIR. Shea reported FIRST
quarter corporate earnings of North
american were $3,917T73 equal to
As cents share against $685. ,114
or 80 cents a share In the like
1916 quarter.

Assorted Stocks Gain,
But Many Continue
To Drift Downward
BY Victor Eubonk

NEW YORK. April 25.-A few
stock market leaders continue to
operate In the plus column today
but numerous issues sought lower
levels.
There was q fairly active sellofi
following a quiet opening. The list
soon regained part OF its balance
and dealings slowed. Declines OF
fractions to point or so predom-
mated near the fourth hour.
The General Motors and Bethle-
hem wage boost agreements were
viewed as constructive, insofar as
precluding strikes, although failing
to touch OF any real buying. The
question Of mounting costs and
maintenance Of high prices In these
fields served to chill enthusiasm
Confused thinking over the business
outlook, taxes, labor legislation and
foreign affairs inspired q certain
amount of liquidation.

Fay Advises Senator's
How 10 Make Sure Of
Contempt Convictions

Chairmen of the standing and
special csn1mittees of the Senate
today were given advice by United
States Attorney George Morris Fay
as to how. to make more sure OF
convictions when the House or Sem
ate cites witnesses for contempt.
The seminar was arranged at the
request Of Senator Bridges. Repub-
lican. Of New Hampshire, head Of
the Committee Of Senate Committee
Chairmer1.
One stumbling block to conviction,
Mr.. Fay explained, was interpreta-
tions Of provision of the statutes
regarding "willful" refusal by a wit
ness before a congressional COM
mittee to testify or produce records.
The United States attorney noted
that the same statute provides for
punishment Of witnesses who re-
fused to answer ANY question perth
nent" on the subject of congress
SIGNAL inquiry.
He advised the committee chair
men. when confronted by witness
refusing to answer questions or pro-
duce records, to ask a series of
pertinent questions SO as to lay a
foundation for contempt action.
He outlined the case of DR.. Ed
ward A. Rumly of the Committee
for Constitutional Government, who
won acquittal on a second trial, after
the first case resulted in hung
jury, and that of Joseph P. Kamp
of the Constitutional Educational
League, Inc, whose case resulted
in a hung jury. Mr.. Fay said Ben
jamin r. Fields was convicted OF
contempt In District Court because
the House Surplus Property Com
mittee, which had called him as a
witness, had laid a comprehensive
foundation for his refusal to pro-
duce records.
Mr.. Fay said there are now con-
tempt charges against "a persons
resulting from proceedings before
congressional committees.
