Claim Private Power Firms In Control of Money Houses
Washington reports that private power companies are controlled by a small group of interlocking financial houses, violating the spirit of the Federal Power Act.

The 153-page report uses official records from the FPC and the SEC, listing five financial firms among top 20 holders in many power companies and noting stock brokers and an insurer among the leaders.
