Hutching Thursday revived the once controversial proposal to create a non-press, non-government agency to check on the perform ance by newspapers of their public responsibilities. Hutchins, chairman of the Fund for the Republic, Inc., did so in an address prepared for the open ing session of the three-day annual meeting of the American Society of Newspaper "Editors. The editors six years ago rejected the proposal made originally in 1JI49 by the Commission on Free dom of the Press headed by Hutchins. The Society said ASNE "is itself, and must be, a continuing committee of the whole on self examination and self-government." Hutchins renewed the suggestion Thursday with criticisms only slightly less barbed than those of the commission he headed in 1949. He told the approximately 400 editors that 'most of you have watched the erosion of freedom without a, twinge," and accepted Incidents in connection with it "as a matter or routine."

Sam Coon, in which they said the bill was "sensible and practical." Joining in the statement were Thomas W. Delzell, chairman of the board of Portland General Electric Company; Paul B. Mc Kee. president of Pacific Power & Light Company; and Kinsey M. Robinson, president of the Wash ington Water Power Company. "The proposed legislation." they said, "offers a sensible and practi cal method of getting "the John Day project built quickly in con formance with the comprehensive Columbia River development plan of the Corps of Engineers to help meet urgent power needs of the Pacific Northwest and improve navigation. "We are very much interested in seeing the John Day project built promptly because it means more power for the region and will help meet the needs of the 600,000 customers who look to us for their electric service requirements. "There is every reason to be lieve that the $273,000,000 needed for construction of the power facili ties at John Day can be supplied to the government by power dis tributors of the area if Congress will act to make this possible. Since the power investment represents nearly 90 per cent of the total esti mated cost of the project, the pro posed plan of financing would as sure a rapid and efficient con struction program. "It is definitely understood that participation in the plan is open to any electric system, public or pivale, that is ready and willing to advance funds to help get the project built: Each participant would snare proportionately in the power produced at the dam during me pay-out period. "If necessary, the companies we represent are willing to undertake to put up the full $273,000,000 need ed for the power development. It should be made clear, however, that the amount of power we may obtain would depend entirely upon the volume of applications made to the Federal Power Commission by other responsible utilities seeking to participate in the program.

Henry Helse Com- pany was expected to go to Fed. eral Judge Louis E. Goodman for, decision. j The Securities Exchange Com-1 mission, which brought the charges against the company, was asked by Goodman yesterday just what action was expected of the court.' SEC counsel' Frank Kennamer said that if the judge found that the SEC charges of fraud and mis representation practiced by Helser were true, he should issue an in junction prohibiting such practices. Then if the company violated the injunction, Kennamer said, the EC could revoke its registration. In summing up the SEC case, Kennamer said, "It is necessary tor tne court to issue an order en- joining the J. Henry Helser Com-1 pany from untruthful representa tions that the company provides a personalized service to its clients." I He also asked Goodman to order ! the I company to refrain from "block selling" client securities and "margining accounts indis criminately." The judge said that the SEC regulations appeared to him not to cover the Helser operations. "I think you fellows had bettor get the statute amended," Good man said. "It seems to me that such an order as you seek would have the effect of making me a second vice-president of the Hel ser Company in charge of opera tions.
