Roosevelt backs controversial hold ing company section in bill
Washington June 19 President Roosevelt said he favors the contested part of the utilities holding company bill aimed at eliminating holding companies not in a contiguous territory. He defended intrastate firms like Public Service Corp of New Jersey and Niagara Hudson, explained how an Associated Gas and Electric chart shows the layered structure, and noted the goal to curb intermed iate and investment companies while allowing adjoining-territory holdings. He said objections arise only when holdings span a broad area and act as investment entities.
