WASHINGTON. May 3 In the past
thirty days, the managers of the

American public utilities Wlllkie. ot
Commonwealth and Southern; Groes
beck. of Electric Bond and Share;
Pogarty. of the North American com
pany; Carlisle, of Niagara Hudson,
and the lesser fellows have Jour
neyed to Washington to pay their
allegiance to the securities and ex
change commission.
They have come, like the elders
of Calais, with halters around their
necks. They are the men who led
the utilities' bitter fight against gov
ernment regulation. They are the
men who Joined in the utilities'
costly lost -cause stand against sub
mission to the holding company act.
which ended when the supreme court
spoke a month ago. They had no
reason, these rulers of the great
utilities empires, to expect kind
treatment from the SEC.
It's unusually interesting to know
what treatment they did get, In
these days when the disastrous re
sult of prolonged warfare between
government and business are at
last being recognized. And it. is re
assuring to be able to report that
even Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Groesbeck.
Mr. Pogarty and Mr; Wlllkte them
selves are pleased with the SEC's
behavior toward them.
This is. to be sure, only an In
terim report; the SEC may go ber
serk tomorrow, as government agen
cies wmetlmes do. But, thus far,
very effort has been made to en
force the holding company act, to
prepare for the simplification and
Integration of the Immense corporate
structures of the utilities in the sim
plest, most Intelligent and least dis
ruptive manner possible.
The men who have most often re
oelved the utilities executives, have
been the left-wingers of the SEC.
Chairman William O. Douglas and
Commisfloners Jerome N. Prank and
Robert E. Healy. These three the
sandy-haired, tough-minded Yale law
professor, the brilliant, urbane in
tellectual, and the leathery and hard
hitting Vcrmonter have been most
feared of all by the utilities execu
tives. Yet tho bogeymen have turned
out to be surprisingly friendly and
accommodating.
"Its up to you.' Chairman Doug
las and hla colleagues have told each
of their callers. "We're ready to let
the holding companies themselves
take the lead In complying with this
law. If you work out something rea
sonably satisfactory to us. we'll take
your plan and not bother you with
ours."
There have been, moreover, Im
portant tangible proofs that this rea
sonable attitude meant something.
One example was the amendment to
the tax bill, inserted at Chairman
Douglas' personal request, exempting
holding companies complying with
the law from the taxes which would
have operated when the compantes
were dissolved. Another, which will
soon romp, is a message to the utili
ties business which the SEC has
already prepared, promising that the
bitterness of the past has been for
gotten, and urging the friendliest
and most cooperative relations in
the future.
The SEC's conciliatory attitude has
also been extended to the actual
application of the holding company
set's provisions. Por example, It Is
customary among government agen
cies to pass, adversely or approvingly,
but once and for all. on proposals
submitted for their consideration.
Legally this Is the only unassailable,
procedure. Yet the SEC has not fol-

TACOMA, Wash., May 3. (AP)
T a c o m a longshoremen today an
nounced all Tacoma cargo would be
declared officially unfair by the
Maritime Federation of the Pacific
at 1 p. m. today.
T. Thronson made the announce
ment at the special meeting of the
Tacoma city council in an attempt
to end the tie-up of all waterfront
commerce here. Thronson Is a mem
ber of the ILA special committee
appointed by the Tacoma local In
connection with the waterfront clos
ure. He predicted freely the declara
tion making Tacoma cargo "hot"
might lead to a complete tie-up of
all Pacific coast ship traffic. He said
all membrrs of the Maritime Federa
tion, and several other unions had
agreed to abide by the ban on Ta
coma cargo.
Thronson made his statement in
the form of a guarantee that Tacoma
waterfront employers would not lose
by having cargo diverted to other
porta during the tie-up here. The
ban. he said, would apply to cargo
moving from here and trans-shlpppd
elsewhere, and cargoes originally In
tended for Tacoma but diverted else
where. ,
"Madame Perkins (secretary of la
bor) had better work fast." Thronson
said, "If she wants to avoid a coast
wide strike, because it's beginning,
in effect, at 1 p.m. today."

Governor Says Opposition to ;
Campaign Coming From!
Camp of Racketeers,
Gangsters, Self -Seekers
Gov. Charles H. Martin told a
Rotary club luncheon-forum In the
Hotel Medford this afternoon that
the forces opposed to htm In the
gubernatorial campaign are concen
trated In one camp, which Includes
racketeers and gangsters, self-seek
era. malcontents who have been re
fused the offices they have sought
and the radical element which ab
hors "my stand for the American
form of government."
In general his campaign Is op
nosed by the "elements of discon
tent and darkness," the governor de
clared In hla campaign address which
was broadcast by KMED,
Overflow Crowd.
The hotel's main dining room was
filled to overflowing. The luncheon
accommodations were to have been
limited to 200. but at the last mln
uto room waa made for 26 more.
More than 100 who c-me at the laat
minute to attend the lunch were
turned away. Score of others, after
eating In other parts of the hotel
or elsewhere, filtered Into the dining
room or the mezzanine balcony over
looking the dining room to bear the
governor's talk. In all, well over 300
were packed Into the dining room.
The Rev. E. B. Bartlam. retiring
Rotary president, presided. He turned
the chairmanship over to E. C.

Delegations were p r e a e n tTrdm
Klamath Palls, O rants Pass, Ash
land, Eagle Point and other southern
Oregon cities.
Jokingly Governor Martin averred
he had to be careful what he said
during the primary campaign and so
he would have to read his address.
Characteristically, however, he Inter
polated from time to time, much to
the enjoyment of the large audi
ence, -
Liberty Retained Here.
Speaking seriously of what - ha
termed "subversive elements" . who
seek dictatorial power, the governor
Interpolated: "You down here In the
Rogue river valley have not sub
mitted to dictation and you have re
tained your liberties."
"It la only natural that my policy
of keeping the selfish looters In
check and out of circulation has
aroused antagonism," the governor
said, "These selfish rascals never
are penitent and are always vengeful
especially when they can attack un
der cover and at no risk to them
selves. I am minded that these types
are opposed to me.
"We must continue the fight
against those who would rob us. Re
member that our riches In resources
are bound to attract the pirates and
the plunderbund. They look with
greedy eyes upon Oregon and would
gain control for their own ends.
These ends do not Include the wel
fare of the good people of the stste.
These ends are loot and ruin, leav
ing the wreckage to the victims.
Confidence In Citizens
'T am confident that the good
substantial people of this state want
an administration of law and order
without fear or favor and that they
will rally to the support of those
who are giving It to them so that we
can work and live In aecurlty and
safety. The decision and the ulti
mate results are In your hands, You
can choose now whether you will go
ahead and be rich or turn the state
over to those whose Ideas of Backing
and pIllAgtng are as vicious and as
self-centered as those of the pirates
of the Spanish Main."
. The governor said he began his
"goon" prosecution to free the la
boring man of "leeches' 'and vam
pires." By so doing, he added, "we
have made available the greatest re
source we possess our man-power."
No one denies the worker the
right to organize and conduct his
organization on sound democratic
principles, ' Governor Martin ssld.
The worker, he added, must be pro
tected in his fund fin entsl rights
protected from "rscketeers and gang
sters" and from "the forces of reac
tion and selfish employers who would
grind the worker Into the dust."
False issues Raised
The governor declared that primary
candidates are raising false Issues,
such as old age assistance, social se
curity and electric power. These, he
said, have all been achieved and all j
that remains to be done is their
proper development.
The msln problem, Governor Mar
tin said. Is the complete economic i
development of the state's resources

"Too frequently Oregon loses the

The German dictator's special
train rolled in at 8:30 p. m. (3:30 p.

Mussolini and King Vlttorlo Eman

shook bands with him as bands
blared forth fascist and nazl music.
Feted all along the 460-mlle route
