Lack Votes for Bill in Push to Abolish Holding Companies
Washington June 21 A private wall shows administration leaders lack about 40 votes to pass a bill mandating the abolition of unnecessary public utility holding companies. The House Interstate Commerce Committee approved permissive SEC authority to dissolve firms rather than impose a 1942 abolition, with leaders and members divided. The measure faced two remaining points on utilities taxation and policy language, and could be reported to the House for early next week. The current plan taxes 15 percent of holding company dividends, a provision opposed by public utility executives.
