INSULL VICTORY MAY TURN OUT TO BE SETBACK Newest Merger Move Put in Danger of Defeat by Recent Ruling. Insull’s victory in the North Manchester case may turn out to be bitter fruit and possibly thwart their latest merger plans, it developed at a final hearing on the merger petitions conducted this morning by Commissioner Howell Ellis. For Commissioner Ellig questioned Insull officials closely regarding the physical properties involved in the petition to merge the Attica Electric Company and the Wabash Valley Electric Company into the Northern Indiana Power Company. Testimony disclosed that the Attica Electric Company properties now are located in Attica. Under the North Manchester ruling, which neither Commissioners Ellis nor Frank Singleton approved, a merger would remove any possibility of the Attica citizens having a chance for municipal ownership, so far as commission action is concerned. For Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbertson, chief protagonist of the North Manchester order, set forth this view in an elaborate explanation filed with the order today. Commissioner Jere West didn’t fall in with the Cuthbertson idea and said he had no explanation of his own to file. But it got the “O. K.” of Chairman John W. McCardle. Ellis did not indicate the purpose of the questioning regarding Attica

and Harry Wenger, chief engineer for the commission and a witness, merely stated that “Ellis sought this information for some reason.” A denial order in the merger case may set out these reasons, it was predicted. Another petition, upon which hearing was held, asks that the Indiana Electric Corporation be permitted to merge with the~ Public Service Company of Indiana. Robert M. Feustel, Ft. Wayne, Indiana Insull chieftain, declared that if a corporate merger is permitted the physical difficulties will be ironed out.

DRYS NOW CALL -FOR SHOWDOWN ON LIQUOR LAW ‘Hush Tactics’ Are Changed Because of Growing Wet Strength. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Drys are pulling the prohibition issue before congress for the first time since the eighteenth amendment was enacted. Believing they have a majority, they have changed their tactics and are trying for a showdown. Congressional Leaders Watson of Indiana, Snell of New York, Rainey of Illinois, and the dry champion. Senator Borah of Idaho, have joined in the past twenty-four hours to promise a vote on the issue at the coming session. Representative Snell, the Republican candidate for house Speaker, started the movement with the announcement that th° issue would have to be met during the session. Representative Rainey, probable Democratic floor leader in the house, promised his help, as did Senator Watson, Republican floor leader of the senate. All are outstanding drys. In previous sessions, most of them have opposed a vote on prohibition. They said it was a waste of time and

refused to let wet bills get out of the senate and house judiciary committees, where they were buried in obscurity. The change of front is attributed to several developments. Wets have increased their strength in both houses and are threatening to mhke an ambitious demonstration against the dry laws during the session. Wets are welcoming the change because it is their policy to put every member of congress “on the prohibition spot” for the campaign. They probably will seek first a vote on the question of a referendum, and then later attempt to attach a beer and light wines amendment to some economic relief bill. Some dry leaders think they can put down the wet insurrection with a decisive vote in favor of prohibition. “I am i2ady for a showdown,” said Borah. “I will vote against any proposal for resubmisison, and I think we should vote.”
