The Federal Trade Commission continues its devastating investigation of power and utility finance, and no one is able to stay its hand. Companies, meantime, having secured from the Attorney General a convenient opinion questioning the constitutionality of the Federal Power Act, are now taking action in the Clarion River and Appalachian Power Co. cases to free themselves from practically all effective federal regulation. Small wonder that, in spite of unemployment and prohibition, power forced itself to the front at the elections; small wonder that it is an issue of the first order in both houses of the U.S. Congress today.
