House Will Get Utility Measure
Washington June 21 The Interstate Commerce Committee reported sharp differences between President Roosevelt and a capitol bill on regulating or abolishing utility holding companies as it moved toward a House action. The committee approved most holding company provisions, with two minor points remaining to be finalized before reporting the measure. The substitute would make dissolution permissive under the Securities and Exchange Commission, while administration leaders sought to preserve abolition language. The panel also faced decisions on the taxing method, proposing 15 percent of holding company dividends be taxed under corporate income levies.
