The MARCH OF TIME REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine AMPUTATING TAILS— WASHINGTON—Blandly announcing at a press conference that he had found a memorandum on utilities left with him last November by Commonwealth & Southern's President Wendell Willkie, President Roosevelt last week hit Powerman Willkie's request for modification of the holding company "death sentence." Reverting to a simile in his Jackson day speech—that $600,000,000 of holding company money controlling $13,000,000,000 worth of utilities is like a four-inch tail wagging a 96-inch dog—the president told newshawks that he would like to eliminate all holding companies in all industries, including first-degree holding companies which are directly over operating companies. From Chicago "Daily News" Reporter Paul Leach came a muffled crack which the president did not hear: "He's cutting off the tail right behind the ears." Since even the "death sentence" of the Holding Company act permits first-degree holding companies under certain conditions, newshawks left the president's office amazed and mystified. Abolition of all holding companies would break up most of the nation's railroads, would seriously affect three-fourths of all industrial corporations listed in the New York Stock exchange. Although it is often used as a slick device for controlling other people's money, the holding company is nevertheless a practical solution to the problem of carrying on interstate commerce under 48 varieties of law. Since the biggest mystery of all was why the president chose to toss a monkey wrench into his newly begun peace conference with business leaders, Scripps-Howard Columnist Raymond employment was consistently greater than in 1936. During the final three months, however, a reversal brought the average for that period down to 3 percent below 1936. The decline was 32,000 men in November and 73,500 in December." Aldrich. Said Chairman Winthrop Aldrich of Chase National bank "I always try not to make prophecies about an economic situation and I rather hesitate to say that I believe any economic situation is temporary. But I do feel this, that if we could get the budget into balance and if we could get sincere and mutually trustful cooperation between the government and not only business but the investing public, I see no reason why this country should not go ahead in a wonderful way. On the tax side, the high income taxes, the capital gains tax in its present form, and above all other things, the undivided profits tax, were the things which have slowed down the capital market." NO. 2— WASHINGTON—No less a jolt to the United States than his appointment of radical Hugo L. Black to the supreme court five months ago was Franklin Roosevelt's second court appointment to fill the vacancy left by retiring Justice George Sutherland: Stanley Forman Reed, conservative United States solicitor general whose nomination the president last week sent to the senate. The son of prosperous Dr. John A. Reed of Maysville, Ky., Stanley Reed had a thorough education at Kentucky Wesleyan college and Yale university, studied law at the University of Virginia, Columbia university, the Sorbonne in Paris. His education was polished off with four years in the satz" (substitutes) during the war, and have been fed up with it again as a result of Nazi isolation policies, the government hires upon an artful device: The new "Ersatz" will be called "Vikim eggs." "TRUE INTENTIONS"— TOKYO, Japan—Emperor Hirohito, descendant of the Sun goddess and himself godly in Japanese eyes, last week convene with awful solemnity the first imperial council held in Japan since 1914. The conference met, now for the purpose of deciding anything or advising his imperial majesty, but merely to have the son of heaven give his august sanction to new policies previous NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. Although it is often used as a slick device for controlling other people's money, the holding company is nevertheless a practical solution to the problem of carrying on interstate commerce under 48 varieties of law. Since the biggest mystery of all was why the president chose to toss a monkey wrench into his newly begun peace conference with business leaders, Scripps-Howard Columnist Raymond Clapper wrote: "Some say Mr. Roosevelt just got wound up and couldn't stop, that it was all casual, off-hand, and that he hasn't the faintest idea what he intends to do about holding companies. Others think he was giving warning of legislation to come." Within 36 hours Powerman Willkie dramatically offered to sell the president all the southern operating companies of his system, a $600,000.00 collection located in the heart of TVA land and comprising 60% of Commonwealth & Southern's properties (the rest are in the north). Proposing that the government take the southern properties with personnel intact at a price set by a three-man tribunal—one appointed by the president, one by the supreme court, and one by himself—Powerman Willkie declared: "I make this suggestion as a last resort in a desperate situation." DEPRESSION EXPERTS— WASHINGTON — As President Roosevelt last week conferred with leading United States businessmen at the White House, South Carolina's James F. Byrnes and his senate unemployment investigations committee spent their second consecutive week hearing the testimony of business depression experts. Sample opinions: Wallace. To refute the popular impression that farmers were better off than industry in 1937, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace offered a set of statistics: "The 1937 production of 53 crops was 13 percent greater than the 1929 production and 40 percent greater than the 1935 production, which was considerably curtailed by drought. The effect of this increase in the face of declining business activity and urban purchasing power has been a sharp drop in farm prices... the present level of (which) is approximately 30 percent below that of 1929." Hence, concluded Witness Wallace, United States farm justice George Bautista, Conservative United States solicitor general whose nomination the president last week sent to the Senate. The son of prosperous Dr. John A. Reed of Maysville, Ky., Stanley Reed had a thorough education at Kentucky Wesleyan college and Yale university, studied law at the University of Virginia, Columbia university, the Sorbonne in Paris. His education was polished off with four years in the Kentucky legislature a wartime first lieutenancy in the army. At the behest not of Franklin Roosevelt but of Herbert Hoover he left his comfortable practice in Maysville to go to Washington in 1929 as attorney for the Federal Farm board. His service for the New Deal began as general counsel for RFC, for which he worked 18 hours a day during the bank holiday. Because he managed to keep abreast of the tremendous legal complexities involved in demands for RFC help from thousands of banks in 48 states, Attorney General Cummings was impressed. When New Dealer Cummings borrowed Lawyer Reed to conduct the government's successful defense of a collateral gold clause case before the supreme court in 1935, he was still more impressed, got him the appointment of assistant attorney general and that same year perused Franklin Roosevelt that Stanley Reed should be given the solicitor generalship. Victorious in defending eight major New Deal laws before the supreme court, Solicitor General Reed suffered three defects—in cases involving NRA, AAA and the Bankhead act (where a combination of overwork and hostility from the bench brought him to a courtroom collapse). After the AAA case his dark, lively wife, Winifred, performed the most audacious political feat of Washington's 1936 social season by inviting all the supreme court justices to dinner. Now, in joining his former guests on the bench, Stanley Reed gets his first profitable promotion since going to Washington. His first job with the farm board paid $25,000, his second with RFC $12,500, his third as solicitor general $10,000, but his fourth on the supreme court will pay $20,000. WAR LORD TAKES A WIFE—LEIPZIG, Germany—If a United States secretary of war marries a woman in the land justice George Bautista, Conservative United States solicitor general whose nomination the president last week sent to the Senate. TOKYO, Japan—Emperor Hirohito, descendant of the Sun goddess and himself godly in Japan, nenese eyes, last week convened with awful solemnity the first imperial council held in Japan since 1914. The conference met not for the purpose of deciding anything or advising his imperial majesty, but merely to have the son of heaven give his august sanction to new policies previously agreed upon. The proceedings at the palace in Tokyo, held amid priceless good den screens and costly brocade were veiled in almost religious secrecy; but immediately afterward imperial headquarters announced that his Japanese majority's government had withdraw its recognition of the Chinese government, that the Japanese are bassador would therefor quit China. Since the severance of diplomatic connections is often tended to a declaration of war the purpose of the imperial council meeting seemed to have been to sanction an open and declaratory war. If such was the conference purpose, President Roosevelt soon be invited to apply the United States Neutrality act. Most important from the Japanese standpoint, it would permit Japan carry her unofficial blockade on the Chinese coast to the point searching neutral ships for coerraband. Whether or not this was the best secret of the imperial conference imperial headquarters proceed to proclaim Japan's "immediate policy" to "eradicate Chinese nationalism" so that the Chinese will no longer hate Japan's imperial aims in Asia. To this it added: "Japan's responsibility is peace in East Asia is even heavier than before... The intention of Japan..." It is to continue "the policy adopted by the Japanese government respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of China as well as the rights and interests of other powers in China." PULL— LONDON—London's American Chamber of Commerce last week heard Viscount Leverhulme, governor of Lever Brothers, (Lux, Lifebuoy Soap), tell about the preplexity of efficiency ports over a certain factory The 1931 production of 58 crops was 13 percent greater than the 1929 production and 40 percent greater than the 1935 production, which was considerably curtailed by drought. The effect of this increase in the face of declining business activity and urban purchasing power has been a sharp drop in farm prices. The present level of (which) is approximately 30 percent below that of 1929." Hence, concluded Witness Wallace, United States farm income for 1937 fell from five to ten per cent under 1936. Ayres, Colonel Leonard P. Ayres, much-touted economist of Cleveland Trust Co. who three weeks ago told an Atlantic City convention that the "key log" of the economic jam was the public utility situation, gave other reasons for the present depression: Excessive inventories last spring, rising prices due to rearmament programs abroad, fears of labor difficulties, possibly the bonus payment in 1936, possibly some fear of inflation. Ayres' predictions: That the depression should reach bottom in the first half of 1938 as consumption progresses faster than production, that recovery depends upon continued relatively good times abroad, that if the United States pulls Europe down after it the milk may be spilled for fair. Pelley. As spokesman for United States railroads, worst hit of all United States industries, President J. J. Pelley of the Association of American Railroads declared: "During the first nine months of the year 1937 railway Now, in joining his former guests on the bench, Stanley Reed gets his first profitable promotion since going to Washington. His first job with the farm board paid $25,000, his second with RFC $12,500, his third as solicitor general $10,000, but his fourth on the supreme court will pay $20,000. WAR LORD TAKES A WIFE—LEITZIG, Germany—If a United States secretary of war married, every newspaper in the land would burgeon with accounts and pictures of his bride, her life, romance, wardrobe, nuptials. When Germany's minister of war, grimlipped Nazi Werner von Blomberg—59, a widower for five years and father of five children—took a second wife last week, the regimented German press was for 24 hours unable to learn even the bride's name. Finally the honey-ooners were found, strolling through the zoo in Leipzig, the bride's name revealed: Erika Gruhn, 28-year-old daughter of a Hanover carpenter. ERSATZ—BERLIN, Germany — Because German bakers use 800,000,000 eggs a year in making their rich pastries, the Nazi government was last week delighted to find a substitute by which it hopes to save 400,000,000 eggs a year. Out of 32 pounds of cheap fish is made a pound of extract which is supposed to be an adequate substitute for 160 hens' eggs. To make this extract palatable to Germans who had more than a bellyful of "Er- W. M.

In a recent paper abstracted last week in "Modern Medicine," Dr. Robert Louis Levy of Columbia university declared that in certain high - strung individuals under mental or emotional stress, coffee may cause heart pains. These pains have sometimes been confused with the pains caused by heart disease, but there is no reason for such confusion, according to Dr. Levy. Coffee pains are mild; they last a comparatively long time; they are not brought on or aggravated by exercise; there is no sign of organic heart disease; they disappear when coffee is withdrawn from Symphony Prepares for Coming Concert Rehearsals are in progress by the federal symphony orchestra of the WPA Orange county federal music project for the concert scheduled for the night of February 3 at the Santa Ana high school auditorium.

Dr. Levy cited two cases: A doctor and a lawyer, both of whom suffered from coffee pains for years but continued to lead active lives without further ill effect when they quit drinking coffee. EXCHANGE—NEW YORK—The 17 pastors of 17 Unitarian churches in New York's metropolitan area were all away from home last week. Each pastor had taken for one day the pulpit below him on an alphabetical list. Object: to increase Unitarian fellowship. QUARTER IN THE SLOT—WICHITA, Kansas—Up to last week few people ever expected to see insurance sold in slot machines. But the Insurograph Agency of America, incorporated in Kansas for that surprising purpose by a small group of Wichita businessmen, has ordered the Standard Register Co. of Dayton to begin manufacturing insurance-sales machines to be set up in railway and bus stations. Anyone between 15 and 60 who wishes to insure himself against accidents for 24 hours (maximum indemnity, $7,500) will drop a quarter in the Insurograph and pull the lever.
