The president opened up by ssk lng Just how much construction- spending Mr. Winkle thought the utilities could do In the next 'year. Mr. Wlllkie replied that he thought 1.300,000.000 was a fair guess, but edded thst, unless the utilities com panies were convinced that the ad ministration was no longer hostile, the guess would have to be around $1. Mr. McNInch then revised Mr. Winkle's guess to l,OO,0OO,00O. MIDGET AUTO RECORD SET BY HOUSEHOLDER LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26. (AP) Ronnie Householder, Santa Monica' midget auto ace. Just keeps rolling along faster than anyone has ever rolled before. The runt-car veteran showed his rear wheels last night to 13 rivals when he won the 160-lap grand prlx at Ollmore stadium ln record time. His 40 minutes and 10 8 seconds for the 87 mile distance was an nounced as a new mark for the American Midget Racing association Two Fatalities. SALEM. Nov. 26. P) Two fatal ities and 723 accident were reported to the state Industrial accident com mission during the week ended yes terday. Fatalities were Frank Han sen, Hood River teamster. Injured September 6, and Edwin J. Wood, Myrtle Point caterpillar driver, in jured October 37. Then the president wanted to know Just what percentage of the total power produced tn this country came from publicly owned plants. Mr. Wlllkte thought 13 percent. Mr. McNInch said 10. Finally, tha presi dent asked whst .percentage of the population could be served by pub licly owned power plants. Mr. Wlllkte thought 32 percent. Mr. MeNlneh said 18. Taking the McNInch figures as his text, the president proceeded to his lecture, which must be taken as the key to his attitude on the import ance of conciliating business until evidence to the contrary la produced. In effect, he accused the utilities companies of Indulging tn a foolish and untimely sit-down strike. He said roundly that the great majority of the utilities In the coun try were not and could not be af fected by the government compe tition which they cried out against. He ridiculed their argument that, because of the threat of govern ment competition, they could not sell securities, and thus could not get money to undertake their big program of needed new construction. He did not spare the corporate pe culiarities of the utilities business which provoked the holding com pany act. To all this. Mr. Wlllkie replied that the reasonableness of the utilities' attitude was not the Important ques tion. He argued In his turn that the attitude was there, that It could only be cured by an adjustment In the relations between the companies snd the federsl government, and that. In view of the advancing de pression, tome adjustment was vital. He then presented his peace pro-, gram. Its first two points were con cessions, smaller than the critics of the utilities have wanted, but larger than the utilities have been willing to make hitherto. First, he suggested that the util ities accept without dispute all the charges of write-ups In their cap italization preferred up to the pres ent by the federal trade commission. Since the write-u pa charged amount to about $1,400,000,000, this was. In effect, a suggestion of a capital write-off of that amount. Second, he proposed that, the pres ent capitalization having oeen ad Justed In thla fashion, all Increases In the rate base by new Investment be hereafter calculated on the "pru dent Investment" system, rather than by "reproduction cost" as In the past. The concessions he asked for In return were, first, that the death sentence clause of the holding com pany act should be modified, so that, while all Intermediate holding com panies would be eliminated from the utilities structures within three years, the top h old lng com pa n I es would still be left In control of their operating properties. And, second, he asked that a num ber of changes be made in the ad ministration of the TVA, all Intended to minimize the threat of govern ment competition with the private companies, to remove the Inequities charged to government competition by the private companies, and to Insure the utilities an opportunity to sell their existing properties when public ownership of distribution lines Is desired. The president listened to the pro gram In silence, and made no spe cial comment on It after it had been presented. The meeting oroke up with pious hopes on both parts that some agreement might be reached, but without any concrete step of any sort In that direction. The second conference, with Floyd L, Carlisle, of the Consolidated Edi son, ended with Mr. Carlisle profes sing satisfaction In his talk with the president and promising to try to start a construction program with his company's funds, but actually it was not much different from the first. Thus, the president's left-wing ad visers, whose views were almost ex actly echoed by the president in his talks to the utilities men, seem to have won by a clear knock-out in the first round of their fight for dominance In the approach to the depression. ' The result of the first round only makes the rounds to come all the more interesting, however. SEAL SALE DRIVE OPENS TODAY IN (Continued from Page one ) the county represented.
