MKT mm EM 1 The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Copyright, 1937, by The North American News paper Alliance, Inc. - STRUGGLE EXPECTED BETWEEN UNDERWRITERS . DILLON CO. CHALLENGING MIGHT OF MORGAN'S UTILITY REORGANIZING FINANCE TO BE PRIZE NEW IEAL HELD LIKELY TO Ain CHALLENGER WASHINGTON, Not. 37. In the days of Jay Gould and Commodore Vanderbllt. the elder Morgan and the first Schlff, Wall street fought Its battles on the public stage. Now It Is different. If you go to Morgan, Stanley and Co.. you will probably get a polite denial that Dillon, Read and company Is regarded aa more than an ordinary competitor. And. If you go to Dillon, Read, you will probably get professions of the ten derest esteem for Morgan. Stanley. Yet numerous signs Indicate the approach of an extraordinary strug gle between the two underwriting houses. Since J. Morgan and com pany sent out Its offshoot, Morgan. Stanley's greatness among under writers has no more been challenged than the parent firm's greatness In the general business world. But now the best-Informed men here and in Wall street predict that a challenge will be offered, by Dillon, Read, and In the field of utilities financing. The game Is worth the candle. Be fore long, the utilities systems will be integrating themselves to meet the terms of the holding company act. Dozens of financing and refin ancing operations will be necessary. If Dillon, Read get the bulk of the business away from Morgan. Stanley, the cash profit Is likely t- be im mense. The profit In prenlge will be quite incalculable, mr Dillon. Read will be the David ho licked the Morgan Golmth. Strangely enough. the Dillon. Read challenge la flml'.y offered, a friendly relationship with the new deal will have mudr It possible. Jay Gould shockingly profiled by. his power over Ulysses S. Orant. A Re publican treasury department's deftp respect for thi "corner" increased the stature of J. P. Morgan and com pany in the twenties. But the new deal's friendship has rarely been re garded as a commercial asset. Neverthe'.css, the story really be gins In the 1032 campaign. Then Paul Shields, whose firm of 8hields and company, does Dillon, Reads brokerage business, and a Dillon, Read partner, James Forrestal, were about the only important Wall atreeters who backed Franklin De lano Roosevelt. Both contributed handsomely to the Democratic cam paign funds, and Shields subsequent ly became the president's favorite Wall street crony. In the first years of the new deal, the relationship between government and business was confused by fur ious lltieatlon. Furthermore, the government's outpost In the finan cial community, the securities and exchange commission, was controlled successively by Joseph P. Kennedy and James M. Landls. Both Kennedy and Landls were compromisers, and there were no real showdowns. The fur began to fly only when William O. Douglas was Installed as SEC chairman. When Douglas got the SEC chair manship, the Morgan Interest was still dominant In the management of the New York stock exchange. The government's first assistance to Mor gan rlvala came when Douglas In sisted on stock exchange reorganlM tlon. and used Shields to help htm achieve It. The accomplishment of reorganiza tion ended Morgan's power on the exehango. Almost simultaneously, the supreme court upheld the holding company act. Shields promptly be came an Intermediary between the SEC and the companies affected by the act. Aa long ago ss last spring, there was a bitter dispute between him and Wendell Wlllkle. of the Commonwealth and Southern, who accused blm of serving the Interest of Dillon. Read and working against those of Morgan, Stanley. At that time, there were rumors of a cooper ative relationship between Dillon. Read and Co.. Shields, end Harrison Williams, of the North American Co.. who first broke the utilities' united front against the holding company act It was also observed that the Dillon. Read lawyers were the Mrm of Cotton. Franklin, s recruiting place fof young new dealers. since then, the cooperative rela tionship between Williams.

OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 28 Af ter nine hours and 33 minutes of deliberation, a Jury of eight men and four women which heard the Dr. Kent W. Berry torture-abduction case was put to bed at 10 p. m.. (PST) tonight without reaching a verdict. The Jury will resume deliberations after having breakfast tomorrow morning, expected not earlier than 8:30 a. m. The Jury received the case at 12:27 p. m. The defendants. Dr. Berry, Olympia physician; James Reddlck, taxlcab driver: William McAloon. former Montesano night marshal, and Robert Smith, Brady, Wash., dairy farmer, were taken upstairs from the courtroom to the county Jail to await the verdict. - The defendants are charged with assault and kidnaping. A first degree assault conviction carries a 20-year maximum, with the minimum to be set by the state parole board. A kid naping conviction carries either death by hanging or life Imprisonment. Wife Shows strain Showing the strain of the two weeks trial, Mrs. Berry's face was drawn and white during special as sistant prosecutor Joseph W. Gra ham's final pleaj Her husband, who wept during his attorney's long and dramatic closing plea for acquittal, was grim. The aged parents of Mrs. Berry. Mr. and Mrs. Ednard Kevin, left the room weeping before the session was over. Graham's last words were a plea the four men be convicted of kid naping, under which death or life Imprisonment, at the Jury's recom mendation, la provided by Washing ton law. He asked all but Smith be convicted of first degree assault. The state would accept a second degree assault conviction against Smith, who was credited with saving Baker'a life during an abudctlon and assault last August 10, Graham said. Woman's Claim Scouted Graham ridiculed Mrs. Berry's ac cusatlon Baker criminally assaulted her on a Fourth of July party, the doctor's avowed motive for "punish ing" Baker. Mrs. Baker testified to the assault during the trial and Baker, former coast guard officer, denied It. The assistant prosecutor hammered home to the Jurors Judge John M. Wilson's Instructions the "unwritten law" was no defense. "If a man should find another man attacking hts wife, he should have absolute evidence, which Dr. Berry didn't have in this case," Graham argued. "If he did these things on the spur of the moment, there might be mitigating circumstances. . "But thia attack was planned over a period of six weeks. The law says this is not a mitigating circum stance." Kidnaping Not Aim Berry's counsel. 0. D. Cunningham, white-haired and elderly "country lawyer." based his closing plea on grounds that kidnaping waa naver planned by the doctor and the three men. and that a second degree as sault conviction would be the most Just verdict for their "punishing" the good-looking former coast guard officer. "The first thing In his mind waa to have Baker arrested and prosecut ed for the attack on hla wife," Cun ningham said. "The next was to take him out and assault him. "Kidnaping never entered their minds," he shouted. Counsel for the others accused en tered other arguments, for McAloon that he waa Intoxicated the night of the abuctlon and for Smith that he came here believing he was to see a bird dog, and then went along with his old-time friend, the doctor. Rod dick's attorney raid he played hla part aa a taxlcab driver with no crim inal Intent. AGED MAN TARRED AFTERJPTTAL CHERHTLL.
