June 21 (U.R) The house was revealed today as opposed to the elimination of "unnecessary" utility holding companies as provided in the Wheeler-Rayburn bill passed bv the senate at President Roosevelt's request. Secret Poll taken A secret poll by administration leaders indicated the "death sentence" provision lacked between 30 and 40 votes of the number necessary to assure passage. Result of the poll were communicated to the president. Mr. Roosevelt, it was reported, insisted that leaders continue to fight for the elimination provision. He hoped abolution features could be retained, possibly through agreement agree-ment after the bill is sent to conference with the senate. Philip H. Gadsen, chairman of ) - the committee of public utility executives, fighting the bill, issued a statement today charging all federal "unsurpatowse bill." The committee, he said would continue to advocate amendments that "will make this bill a full regulatory measure without its present destructive and confiscatory confisca-tory features." He approved the house interstate inter-state commerce committee's indicated indi-cated intention 'to approve a bill striking out the elimination feature. fea-ture. The committee was expected ex-pected to report the bill out within with-in a day or two. It may reach the floor, where la hot debate is expected, next week. Recommend Regulation The sub-committee report recommendation recom-mendation for regulatory measures meas-ures instead of elimination was expected to be approved. This Gadsen said, modifies "the death sentence to the extent of giving a few holding companies a chance to live at the pleasure of the federal commission." "But Title II," he said, "of the bill subjects the operating companies com-panies to a federal domination that will not only set aside state authority, au-thority, but will virtually destroy private management in the industry." in-dustry." MERRY GO-ROUND A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. A lit .EN I WASHINGTON Chief political topic among conservative conserv-ative leaders these days is, "Who is the man who can stop Roosevelt?''

JUNE 2 1, 1935 LIONS REJECT AFFILIATION WITH GROUP Club Projects Reported By Outgoing President; Initiate Members The Provo Lions club voted unanimously Thursday night to table indefinitely the proposal pro-posal that the club join in a projected associ a t i o n of Northern Utah civic clubs. The vote followed talks by three members, LeRoy Tuck-ett, Tuck-ett, Dr. W. Woolf and A. H. Chrsitenson, concerning features of the proposed association. It was argued that such an association asso-ciation would become political in nature, would tend to destroy the identity of the club and cause feelings with the Southern Utah association of civic clubs. Reports Submitted Final reports of Aura C. Hatch, president of the culb, and Walter F. Whitehead, secretary treasurer, were accepted. Mr. Hatch reported report-ed that the membership of the club has grown from 44 and seven at large to 58 active and one at large during the past year. Among the projects completed were the staging of Casey's Trial to raise funds for the aid of needy children with poor eyesight, sponsorship spon-sorship of the organization of the Provo Safety Council, the gift of Christmas baskets and a party to blind persons of Provo, an old clothes drive that netted 1000 articles; and various parties and entertainments. Name New Members McKay Christensen, Francis Giles, James Birrell, Fred Mark-ham Mark-ham and W. Raymond Green were announced as new members, and with the announcement President Hatch stated that J.

( Editorial) The plea of Provo's boys and girls for a community com-munity swimming- pool is apparently falling on deaf ears. Denied the use of a supervised, sanitary pool, many of the kiddies who can't afford a ticket to the nearby resorts, are being driven to frequent the out-of-the-way stagnant stag-nant pools near the river, where danger of various descriptions is a constant threat to worried parents. Public spirited workers who have taken up the battle in, behalf of the boys and girls of Provo, declare that no large cash outlay is required to provide pro-vide good, clean swimming swim-ming free of charge to the children of the community. commu-nity. The city already owns a $1500 concrete pool at the North park which can easily be reconditioned recon-ditioned and maintairoed at a nominal expense. Several of the civic clubs and community organizations or-ganizations have offered to help the cause along with substantial cash and labor donations. Salt Lake City, Ogden and Logan, as well as scores of towns smaller than Provo, and in no better bet-ter financial condition, seem to be able to provide pro-vide swimming pools for their children. Why can't Provo do it? A summer recreational program without a swimming swim-ming pool is a poor makeshift make-shift to hand to the boys and girls of any modern community. The mistake should not be repeated through another summer in Provo. OMAHA STRIKE NOW SETTLED OMAHA, Neb., June 21 (U.RV Normal street car and bus service was resumed in Omaha today, ending end-ing a strike of two months in which two persons were killed and more than 50 were injured. National guardsmen, ordered here Saturday to quell rioting in South Omaha were strike sympathizers sym-pathizers stormed cars and stoned operators, were to be withdrawn gradually. Gov. Roy L. Cochran said. The strike ended last night when an arbitration committee, headed by John Led with, appointed by the governor, waived the issues of wage increases and union recognition recogni-tion and turned the third "cardinal" "car-dinal" question, involving seniority rights of strikers, over to a new committee. Recital In Well Received was undoubtedly one of the high spots on the program. The last numbers on Mr. Stevens' program were refreshing in content con-tent and performance and should offer a good lesson to players and conductors out this way as to how a program can be kept interesting without being cheapened by poor music. "Come Autumn Time," by Low-erby, Low-erby, was especially well received although its performance was fairly fair-ly hackneyed.

A salvo of police bullets and tear gas terminated the melee, which left one man dead, nine injured in-jured or wounded, and resulted in arrest of 40 men who participated in the riot. The dead man was identified as G. W. Kaarte, 60-year-old striker from the picket lines surrounding the Holmes Eureka Lumber mill, a half mile south of Eureka on the Redwood highway, scene of the conflict. He was shot to death presumably by police. Two Seriously Hurt Two of the wounded, Harold Edlund and Paul Lampella, pickets, pick-ets, were near death in local hospitals hos-pitals Both were shot. Less Seriously hurt were: Ole Nelson, a striker, shot. Eugene Miller, picket, shot. John Smith, picket, gassed and nijured in the fighting. J. Kinnare, picket, gassed and injured in the fighting. Police Chief George Littlefield of Eureka, severaly beaten about the head. Police Capt. Tom Rutledge, head injuries, Traffic Officer William French, head injuries and bruises. Patrolman Peter Carroll, beaten. Many other officers and strikers strik-ers suffered slightly from tear gas fired from police guns or were cut and bruised by flying fists and missiles. Authorities believed they had apprehended ap-prehended the ringleaders of the rioters in the group held in the Eureka jail. None of the injured policemen was confined to hospitals. Round Up Rioters Chief Littlefield and his aides, although beaten severely, continued contin-ued the work of rounding up the rioters, some of whom they suspected sus-pected were "transported" into the northern California lumber regions from the northwest in an effort to precipitate a strike in sympathy with the walkout of Washington and Oregon lumber workers. Efforts of strike organizers, thus far virtually unnoticed in the Eureka industry, will be confronted confront-ed with further obstacles, it appeared. ap-peared. Shortly after the riot, Mayor Frank R. Sweasey issued a proclamation proc-lamation calling upon citizens to join in suppressing strike agitation agita-tion and further disorder. He appointed ap-pointed 25 additional special police to augment bettered city forces. HOLLYWOOD. Cal., June 20 All the big influential papers pa-pers this morning are full of the "sock the! rich."
