DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
By BILL BAKER
Debunking the so-called "menaces"
of the public utility holding compan-
ies, a University of Michigan pro-
fessor has just published a study stat-e
ing that holding company subsidi-
aries serve the public at as low aver-
age electric rates as do independent
utilities.
He is Prof. Merwin.H. Waterman of
the Department of Economics, whose
study, "Economic Implications of
Public Utility Holding Company Op-
erations," has been published by the
University Bureau of Business Re-
search.
The conclusion, which is illustrated
by graphs and charts in the book,
is true regardless of toe size, of the
coimiunity served, or the size of the
4cmpany furnishing the service, and
generally regardless of the geo-
graphic section of the country, Pro-
fessor Waterman points out.
As stepping stones to the solution
of the nation's public utility prob-
lem, Professor Waterman advocates
the abandonment of blanket holding
company condemnation as now advo-
cated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and the adoption of a
discriminatory policy of holding com-
pany regulation and disintegration.
"Nowhere in the study," the author
points out, "has it been suggested
that all holding companies are justi-
fied in their existence, practices and
procedures.
"Ithas not only been shown that
as a group, the holding company sub-
sidiaries serve their investors and
Ann Arb
consumers as well as do the inde-
pendent utilities and that, therefore,
there is norgeneralized justification
for making practically all subsidiary
utilities into dependent units."
Effectiveness Changed
There has been a substantial
change in the effectiveness of opera-
ting subsidiaries of holding com-
paines in the past few years, Pro-
fessor Waterman says. "Whatever
may be the precise cause, relatiop-
ships between state regulatory bodies
and those in control of holding com-
pany systems have steadily improved
in the last decade."
Since many of the answers to the
hplding company problem which are
being sought by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Dr. Water-
man points out "that a merger of
these two federal commissions would
tend to bring about the controls that
could facilitate the elimination of
holding company 'evils' without in-
discriminatorynelimination of all
holding companies."
Five Tests Applied
In determining the fficiancy of
subsidiaries of public utility holding
'companies as compared to indepen-
dent {utilities, Professor Waterman
has applied five tests: 1.) Cost of
electricity to consumers; 2.) Econ-
omy of management; 3) Efficiency in
financial management; 4.) Protection
of utility investors; and 5.) Effective-
ness of utility regulation.
The data which forms the core
of the study were prepared on be-
half of the Engineers Public Service
Company in connection with 'pro-
ceeding before the Securities and Ex-
change Commission relating to Sec-
tion 11, the "death sentence Clause,"
of the Hdlding Company Act.

Logging Costs
Feature Talk
W. S. Bromley Addresses
Timber Association
The results of several extensive
time and cost studies of logging in
Northern Michigan were'given Tues-
day night in Ishpeming by Prof. W. S.
Bromley of the forestry school at the
October meeting of the Timber Pro-
ducers Association of the Upper Pen-
insula.
According to Professor Bromley,
the members of the Association, which
is primarily an organization of log-
gers, pulp-wood producers, and s w
mill operators, were greatly interested
oven their comparative production
costs and in the various techniques
for analyzing costs.
This unusual interest on the part
of the, timbermen is due to the diffi-
culties they are experiencing in con-
nection with labor shortages, rising
costs of equipment, and in securing
adequate provision for railroad trans-
portation.'
Professor Bromley explained the
timbermen's peculiar predicament by
saying that in times of great indus-
trial activity,-such a these, produc-
tion costs in the lumber industry are
often inclined to rise considerably
before the producers' benefits from
the increased production become
actual profit.
Warden Jackson
Passes His Exam
LANSING, Oct. 17.--(A)-Warden
Harry H. Jackso of the state prison
of southern Michigan was the only
warden of three Michigan prisons to
survive civil service examinations, the
state Civil Service Commission an-
nounced today.
Thomas J. Wilson, state personnel
director, said Warden Simon R. An-
derson, of the Marquette branch pris-
on ana Warden Warren J. Dodge of
the Ionia Reformatory had passed
the examination, placing 22nd and
18th on the list, respectively, but did
not come within the certification
range.
Deputy Warden Glenn Carpenter
of the southern Michigan prison
failed to place high enough on the
list, Wilson said, and will be replaced
from a list which includes Gellein,
Huntley and Major Robert E. Marsh,
superintendent of the Boys' Voca-
tional School as Lansing and former
state police Commissioner.
Battley Lauds Unions
For Employment Aid
LANSING, Oct. 17.-(P)-Col. Jos-
eph F. Battley, of the national selec-
tive service headquarters, informed
Governor Van Wagbner today Michi-
gan employers and labor unions are
"very cooperatiye" in obtaining re-
employment for men discharged from
the armed services.,
Attley added, however, that as the
nymber released increases a more
serious problem for employers will re-
sult.
He said a mnajor problem would
concern men who find jobs they for-
merly held no longer exist.
'FootballHero
Gains Honors
Football players are not always
dumb. Look at Davey Nelson, '42Ed,
who as everyone knows plays a good
deal of fodtball for the Maize and
Blue on Saturday afternoons. But
piling up ponts on Saturday is not
all he does. During the -week he
does just as good a job at piling up
honor points.
As a result, Davey's scholastic aver-
age is the second highest in the senior
class of the School of Education, and
he has just been announced as the
recipient of, one of the University
Scholarships in the Professional
Schools. / 0
Both Nelson and Matthew J. Zip-
ple, '42Ed, have been selected by their
teachers to receive these two-semes-
ter tuition scholarships.
Davey already is the possessor of
one such award from the Detroit Uni-
versity of Michigan Club. The latter,
however, will be changed so as to
provide the little halfback with funds
for other school expenditures.

-Seven Rozmyslows now are Roose-
velts, at members of a Polish family
were granted permission to change
their name by Hudson County Judge
James R. Erwin today after they ex-
plained all had used the Roosevelt
surname since infancy.
LANSING, Oct. 17.-P)--A con-
ference of city officials and spokes-
men for railroad companies agreed
today to fix a 40-mile-an-hour speed
limit for trains at grade crossings in-
side the city limits, but to impose no
speed limit on trains after passing
intersections.
The conference resulted from an
accident here in which a fast freight
train of the Grand Trunk Western
Railroad jumped its tracks at the
depot here Oct. 7, killing a child and
injuring 13 other persons.
Coroner Harry Leadley announced,
meanwhile, that he found no evidence
of negligence in the accident and
would not conduct an inquest. He
said the railroad company's own in-
quiry established the train was travel-
ing at a speed between 40 and 45
miles an hour when it left the tracks
and demolished a portion of the
depot.
