GOVERNMENT IN MOVES AGAINST HOLDING FIRMS Securities Commission Launches Suit Against Huge Firm Washington. Nov, 27—tU.PJ— The young but powerful securities and exchange commission today became the spearhead of a new deal drive to enforce its broad business and financial control powers. After an uneventful first year existence, during which it assumed control over security markets and methods, the SEC suddenly found itself dealing with the stiffest opposition that has confronted the administration. This is the apparent determina.tion of the vast public utility I holding company industry to ignore the SEC's powers over its 1 business which congress ruled I must begin December 1. After i several court skirmishes by holding companies, the SEC singled out the Electric Bond and Share Co. yesterday as the defendant in the government’s own “test" of the utility control law. While the SEC was suing to compel this huge concern to comn’y with registration requirements ! under the act, six other major i holding companies were seeking I injunctions in various federaj I courts to restrain the commission from enforcing the law. In addition to these troubles | the SEC was confronted by anoth-1 er court action threatening to disrupt its policy of publishing “trade secrets” of thousands of i corporations filing statements with it to keep their securities listed on American exchanges. The Mesta Machine Co. obtained a : temporary injunction restraining ' the federal agency from making I public its confidential data. The SEC may be faced with an additional legal tangle on Dec. 11 when Michael J.

In anticipation of the special session, the county and township officials' association canvassed legislators on whether they favor|ed further centralization of power | in the state government. Gov. Paul V. McNutt is planning 1 a special legislative session to I make Indiana laws conform to federal social security statutes but has demanded a promise from majority of the members they would complete the work in five days and refrain from considering any other proposals. The question of who shall administer the new security laws brought the county and township officials into the picture. James A. Slane, Lafayette, executive secretary of the association, wrote members of the legislature asking them: “Will you be opposed to any measure pertaining to poor relief, I old age pensions, school administration or any other purely local ' governmental function which has for its ultimate aim the transfer of administrative powers t'rofn lo(CXJNTINUED ON PAGE TWO) O NINE LENIENCY PLEAS DENIED State Clemency Commission Denies Pleas For Leniency — Undianapoliis, Ind., Nov. 27 —(UP) —Nine in.xates of the state prison at Michigan City and the women’s prison here were denied Leniency by the state clemency commission today.

Twelve Rebels Killed, Over 200 Captured As Loyalists Stamp Out Cadets’ Revolt. HALTS REBELLION (Copyright 1935 by United Press) Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Nov. 27 —(By Telephone to New York)— (U.R)—Federal troops, artillery and bombing planes quelled a swift but bloody revolt of cadet units in the capital today. Rebel infantrymen who seized the Vermelha barracks in the Urea, section on the waterfront of the city were blasted out by aerial bombs, machine gun fire and field pieces. When the federate recaptured the barracks, they were reported on a preliminary check to have found 12 dead. 30 wounded and to have captured 230 rebels. Government officiate, with President Getulio Vargas in the field directing operations, believed the capture of the barracks had broken the backbone of the revolution. In earlier fighting, the artillery rebels bombarded the aviation school, set it afiro and destroyed It. They promptly were subdued by government troops. The infantrymen in the barracks, which is at the base of Sugar Loaf mountain on the fringes of the city, put up stouter resistance, although the building ■was set on fire by shells. Prior to the capture, the goveminent troops surrounded the barracks on all sides and cut off every a.venue of escape. I The rebels, under hot fire, fled | in the direction of the Urea gamI bling casino nearby. Finding ’| escape cut off there, they tried to I flee into the underUriudi of the mountain but were cut off there also. Tlie revolutionists surrendered when the barracks were almost completely burned. Reserve troops on motorcycles, with machine guns, moved in. Three loyal officers who were caught with their loyal troops in the barracks when the revolt, started were among the dead. I Capt. Agildo Barata of the third regiment, commander of the rebels, was among those captured. Capt. Pinheiro, another rebel leader, also was believed killed. The government announced at 1:30 p. m. that there was not a single rebel left under arms in all Brazil, indicating tiiat the revolt in the north, centering in Pernambuco and Natal, also had be n n i quelled. ■ o Fatal Stabbing Ends Long Standing Feud Philadelphia.
