By C- A. PAUL Raeigh, March 13.—A theoretical balance of the two money hills was reached at one fell swoop when the finance committee by a 20-17 vote, wrote into the revenue bill features which will tax all stock dividends from domestic and foreign corpora tions at six per cent. More than $2,- 000.000 was thus added to the revenue bill, wiping out the $1,500,000 differ ence between it and the appropria tions bill. At the same time the com mittee, for the sixth time, refused to further divert highway funds to the (L'mitiiiunl on Page Two) News said that Fred Young, former inmate of the camp, was preparing to give testimony discrediting the offi cial records on the death of L.

Greece. March 13 (AP>— The possibility of death before a fir ing squad faced more than 300 rebels today as the government instituted wholesale courtsmartial for those im plicated in the eleven-day revolt. The belief that a mass execution would mark the final chapter of the uprising was widely held in Athens, where it was recalled that a similar fate befell the leaders of Greece’s last revolution. Premier Tanayoti Tsaldaris gave cheering crowds before his home a hint of the stern measures the gov ernment might invoke to climax its triumph. “The people of Greece” he said, “may be certain the law will be exe cuted in such away the present gene ration will never again witness the spectacle of these last days.” While his followers waited to learn the penalty for disloyalty to the gov ernment.

Daniel Bell, acting budget direc tor, said the money probably would be transferred from public works administration funds. Relief administration officials to day estimated average daily costs of March relief at $5,000,000. The largest previous monthly cost had been $157,000,000 for January. Officials said all states except Minnesota and Arkansas had re ceived relief money for the first i half of March.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, March 13. —One reason why the country is slow to recover economically undoubtedly lies in the fact that it is afraid to be operated on. A patient is entitled to be fearful of a dangerous operation, too. HOLDING COMPANIES The problem of eliminating what many folk consider the “holding com pany poison” from the American uti lity system presents just such a hazard. Chairman Burton K. Wheeler of the Senate’s Interstate Commerce Com mittee and Chairman Sam Rayburn of he corresponding committee in the House of Representatives jointly re commend (in the Wheeler-Rayburn bill) a legislative operation to abolish all utility holding companies within five years. That would restore local utilities (gas, electric power, trolley, etcetera) to their oldtime local status. Not all authorities agree that this disintegration would be for the public good. Assume however for the sake of argument that it would be a good thing in the long run. What, never theless, would be its immediate ef fect? The American Federation of Utility Investors asserts that it would be ter rible. “TRUST BUSTER’S” OPINION The federation makes out a suffi ciently convincing case to have led Judge Robert E.

The jurist handed down his opinion in granting the Acme, Inc., of Jersey City, an injunction restraining the government from enforcing the fabricated metal code, regulating hours of labor and wages and the payment of code assessments. The action also • enjoined the government from in dicting or prosecuting the com pany for failure to comply with the codes.

The attorney asserted that Reynolds said in writing as early as October, 1930. that he intended to make a will and “cut off his family.” He recalled that the tobacco heir ac tually made a will in New York, in 1931, leaving to the two only $50,000 each.
