25. Federal licensing of public utility holdings was suggested by the Federal trade commission today. It said the "stage is aiow set so that a combination of the present hold-- ing, company systems would produce one nation-wide In 1929. the commission reported, 16 holding company groups had an ownership interest in about 92 'per cent of the nation's electrical output. The report suggested there were three constitutional procedures for enlarging Federal regulation.

These are the regulation of interstate commerce, with particular reference to licensing Federal taxation, and the operation of the postal system. The development of holding companies, the report said, "Shows a strong trend toward, monopolistic control." Federal licensing means that holding companies would huve to get specific authorization to operate in interstate commerce. Confession Denied by Blackshear MARSHALL, Jan. Barney Blackshear today repudiated a "confession" he was alleged to have made concerning the slaying of Mrs. Viola Brimberry at her cabin near Arp in an alleged robbery.

The oil field roustabout, on trial for murder, testified that he signed the purported "confession" only to be frapd from a dark cell in the Smith County jail. He said he would have admitted the Lindbergh baby kidnaping or anything to get out of the cell. Blackshear denied "knocking Viola Brimberry and her husband. George, on the head" the night of March 21, 1932. Manchoukuan soldiers stained the frozen waste of Eeastern Chahar province today because of a dispute over a strip of territory 10 miles wide.

Japanese casualties in the clashes of the last four days along the Gha- na-Jehol. frontier were placed in reports received here at 162 killed and 200 wounded. military authorities in Peiping, however, insisted their losses were only two dead and six injured. The extent of Chinese casualties, was estimated at no less than 50. Simultaneously with the bloodshed, negotiations proceeded between Chinese and Japanese representatives for a diplomatic settlement of the boundary Chinese said an agree- ment had been readied reconciling I divergent claims over the frontier's proper location.

Some Japanese troops being moved up circles, however, insisted that Jap- to the border to re-inforce the 2,000 men now stationed there. While Japanese military authorities declared that "the desired conditions the disputed ajfea have been reports persisted that a fleet of 20 armored cars patrolled the boundary that aerial bombing was still in pro affidavit that he is the owner of the firm. For example, the attorney pointed out. if John Jones operates a grocery as the Neighborhood Grocery, he must file the affidavit he is the store's owner. Also, if he sells or otherwise disposes of ownership, he is required to file an affidavit of withdrawal.

Few if any such affidavits have been filed here for some time, officials say. Co-operation of business men by compliance with the law would facilitate annual, handling of tax statistics. Gambili pointed out. Webster Goes for Man in Oklahoma Sheriff M. S.

Webster went to Ardmore. Friday to get Henry Upchurch, negro, who was indicted here by the grand jury following the burglary of Glen Waide's barn some time ago.

and Mrs. George W. Sheridan, 402 South Elm Street, has signed long-ierm contract with Paramount Pictures. Inc. as a featured player for 1935, and is being groomed by that studio for stardom in 1936, according to word from Hollywood.

Since that time Paramount has trained Miss Sheridan. Her latest picture is "Behold, My Wife," in which she has an important, role with Sylvia Sidney. John RosenfieJd dramatic critic of the Dallas News and who is well- known over the Southwest for his criticisms, said Ann Sheridan gives the only really gripping performance of the entire cast of "Behold, My Wife." The picture is scheduled to show in Denton at the Palace Theater Feb. 15 and 16.

A Hollywood writer says that Miss Sheridan's success is-a result of Pax-amount's. grooming her in small parts for frh school that she has been in with Paramount is the one in which Kent Taylor spent a year before he emerged to play his first lead, and the one in which Toby Wing worked her way up from chorus ranks. The Hollywood writer says the success of the training system of promotion has been proven in practically even- case in the past." Miss Sheridan recently had. her name changed to Ann from Clara Lou for the sake of brevity. She and Alfred Delcambre of Dallas are the only two winners of the "Search for Beauty" contest that have been awarded contracts of any importance, it is said.
