VBW DEAL CANDIDATE ELECTED TO HEAD HOLDING COMPANY, SEC OFFICIAL BACKS STANDARD GAS AND ELECTRIC CHAIRMAN. FIRM NOW EXPECTED TO COOPERATE ON INTEGRATION PROGRAM. NEW TECHNIQUE IN GOVERNMENT-BUSINESS RELATIONS SEEN. WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. A day or to ago. It was announced that Victor Emanuel bad been elected chairman of the board of Standard Gas and Electric, whose assets of $1,200, 000,000 make it the second largest utilities holding company In the country. The announcement seemed an Innocuous piece of financial page sews, yet behind It there Is the story of a curious and startling new technique In government-business relations. Not to put too fine a point on It, Emanuel was the New Deal can didate for the Job. Some explanation Is certainly required, when the New Deal begins to offer candidates for the board chairmanships of great utilities systems, and when the sys tems' directors begin to accept the men backed by the New Deal. You Scratch My Back The explanation begins with O. Roy Smith, director of the utilities divi sion of the securities and exchange commsslon, who has charge of the Integration of all the utilities sys tems under the holding company act. Four months ago, he began to work on a ,new Idea. Previously, the New Dealers had always accepted the notion that peace with the utilities was Impossible, and that merciless law enforcement, backed by the Im mediate threat of legal proceedings, was the only way to handle the power problem. Smith's new Idea was that It would be far cheaper to put friends of the New ' Deal In control of the utilities. Some time before, Emanuel, a New Tork banker, had made the same sort of private overtures to the administration which have earned the name of the president's tame capitalists for Harrison Williams and (Continued on Page Bight.)

(AP) Gabby Hartnett's once glorious Chicago Cubs, cut down by Monte Pearson's five-hit pitching and a home run attack that lent a Roman holiday atmosphere to the whole proceedings, fell for the third straight time today as the hilarious New York Yankees neared their goal as the first ball club In history to win three successive vorld series titles. Balked and held hltless for 4 2-3 Innings by Clay Bryant, the big mountaineer pitching man from Lynchburg. Va., the world's champ ions, sparked this time by their sen sational freshman hero, Joe Gordon, wiped out a 1-0 deficit with aeven timely blows, two of them homers. to race off with victory, 6-3. As In the first two Yankee routs at Chicago, the world's conquerors played like champions. Pearson, after a shaky start, gave them their best pitching of the aeries with nine strikeouts, four short of the record. The team displayed superb defense In the pinches though it did commit two errors, and the batting attack found Itself Just In time to turn the gome from a thriller Into an other rather pathetic Cub rout wit nessed by a disappointing crowd of 55.230. Cash Customers Shy From the very start of the con teat, which drew a cash gate of 106. 721,58, far short of the record that was expected, one could feel the tension. As Bryant fooled the heavy swinging enemy Inning after Inning and even was presented with a one run lead through a flare-up that almost Incapacitated Umpire Charley Moran in the flth Inning, the sus peclon always was there that the Yanka would bust loose. And they did break loose In the Ath and 0th innings. Bryant, steaming along with a no hitter had two men out and two strikes on Gordon when a slow ball he had been trying to get over all afternoon finally got him in trouble and turned on the gas. Gordon, tim ing himself perfectly, caught the slow pitch and leisurely, though firmly, banged It into the lower left field box seats to tie the score. No sooner did the tumult and shouting die and you should have seen those Yankees pound bats In their dug out as Gordon sprinted around the bases than another run had come home to put the champs ahead to stay. Pearson singled, Crosettl walk ed and Red Rolfe lined a single to center to score the pitcher. - - Pearson Is Hero The Yanks weren't long in settling the game and again It was Gordon, atoning for an error that had set up the first Cub run, who provided the punch. Joe Dlmagglo and Lou Gehrig opened with singles and Sel kirk worked Bryant for a pass to Jam the sacks whereupon Gordon smashed a hard single to left to score Dtmag and Lou. That was all for Bryant. After his great stretch of hltless innings, he had allowed six hits and two basea on balls to the last 10 batsmen to face hint, starting and finishing with Gordon, twin hero of the day with Pearson. Bill Dickey cracked his first homer of the series In ths 8th Inning after Joe Marty, who drove In all the Cubs runs for the second game In a row, had hit one into the -left field seats but it didn't make much difference except to the wild Yan kees who hooted, howled and whist led as they smashed bats on the board runway of their dugout. Pearson, victim of a sinus ailment that caused him far more trouble today than the Cub bats, finished with a fine world series record. He now has won three of the classic, two of them against the New York Giants, allowing but 17 hits In 30 3-3 innings he worked. Oreat Catch A great leaping catch of Juraes' liner by Oordon saved Pearson from trouble In the fourth, but In a balmy, exciting fifth the Cubs pushed over the run that for a spell looked like It might be big enough.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. (P) Adolf Hitler's economic drive into central and southeastern Europe will run Into an effort by the United States to retain her $170,000,000 stake In the commerce of that region. Officials here are working out an American defense against Hitler's commercial legions. His absorption of the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia Is Just the beginning, they are un derstood to believe, of a gigantic Ger man trade offensive In central Eu rope and the Balkans. The German minister of economics. Walther Punk, Is now touring the Balkans. He has Just concluded a commercial agreement with Jugo slavia considerably extending the present one under which 80 per cent of Jugoslavia's total trade is with Germany. He has gone on to other Balkan countries, and to Ankara. Turkey, where a TurklshGerman trade agreement was concluded yes terday.. Experts here say that a determined effort to retain trade must be made not only by this country but also by Britain and Prance-to prevent the whole Balkans from becoming a com mercial appendage of Berlin. They are apprehensive that the German dream of the drang nach osten drive toward the east Is de veloping Into a reality commercially.

LABOR PEACE UP TO LEWIS; VOTE IN AFL. MEETMONDAY Overtures Must Come From CIO. Houston Meet Urges Tobin and Green Differ HOUSTON. Tex., Oct. 8. (AP) American Federation of Labor leaders, apparently resisting strong pressure within their ranks for immediate ro ne we 1 of peace talks with the CJ.O., were reported ready tonight to ask the AJM. convention Monday to up hold a policy of watting for John L. Lewis to make the next peace move. Standing between the leadership and a ratification vote, however, was Daniel J.- Tobin, one of the federa tion's vice presidents, who wants the A.P.I, to do something more than merely hold open the door to labor peace. After a meeting of the executive council earlier In the day which de bated Tobln's urgent peace plea to the convention Friday and President Roosevelt expressed hope that labor leaders would "make and keep the peace," Tobin told reporters: k "My interpretation Is that the president Is extremely anxious as a friend of labor, to bring about unity in the family of labor In the inter ests, not only of the workers, but of the public." The possibility Mr. Roosevelt might be drawn into the situation as a mediator or arbitrator was consider ably dimmed, however, after A.P.L. President William Green and the council finished their extraordinary session. Green told reporters the council Interpreted the White House message on peace In the labor movement to mean ha did not want the conven tion to close the door to peace and that labor leaders should avoid Jur isdictional disputes which result in a stoppage of work.
