Washington on November 7 AP strong probability exists that most public utility holding companies will refuse to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the December 1 deadline. This stance would hinder enforcement of the holding company law. Commission officials note a Baltimore federal judge’s ruling as unconstitutional and advise firms not to register. Informal reports indicate key utility lawyers have urged non registration, with only three weeks left before the deadline. The Associated Gas and Electric Company, a leading opponent of the act, is said to be among those likely to refrain from registering.
