Chicago Market Chief
Says 'Little Fellows'
Not Consulted
BT the Anceleted Preu.
Speaking for “the little fellows”
in the securities industry, Kenneth
Smith of Chicago told the House
Interstate Commerce Committee to
day suggested changes in the 1934
Securities Act did not fully represent
the views of the smaller operators.
Smith, president of the Chicago
Stock Exchange, said the regional
exchanges "had a hard time” get
ting an audience with the Securi
ties and Exchange Commission while
the amendments the committee is
studying were being considered.
Most of the scores of amendments
were advocated at earlier hearings
by representatives of the New York
Stock and Curb Exchanges.
Walking to the witness stand from
a seat in the back of the big com
mittee room where he said he had
been waiting for days. Smith told
the committee “I kind of got in the
habit of being in the back of the
room” from the time the industry
commission conferences at which the
amendments were drafted started.
“In some of the conferences, when
the work was well advanced, we par
ticipated,” Smith declared. "But we
were made to feel like a stepchild
in a family council. • • • The
little fellows made suggestions but
there is no evidence anywhere that
these suggestions received any con
sideration.”
“Chiseling a temporary advantage
for the exchanges or for the over
the-counter markets or for the in
vestment bankers will effect no per
manent cure,” he added.
Smith suggested that the S. E. C.
“could well afford to reorient its
viewpoint."
“We have had enough of repressive
regulation," he added.

150,000 shares were offered last Oc
tober at $23.50 to private investors
and $22.75 to dealers, and that
through January 12 only 23.795
shares had been sold in this manner,
10.277 of them going to dealers and
brokers. Standards Treasurer George
W. Knourek, Chicago, said his com
pany proposed to supplement public
buying by taking as many shares at
$22.75 each as would be necessary
to bring total shares to the $500,000
monthly needed by L. G. & E.
Both McKenna and Knourek re
j ported that they did not know
i whether there was any understand
j ing between the parent concern and
its subsidiary at the time the stock
was issued that the parent would do
supplementary buying, if necessary,
at $22.75 a share.
“I felt confident we could sell that
stock to the public," McKenna said,
adding that “a number of unfor
seen things have happened since
then.”
Knourek testified under question
ing by S. E. C. Attorney Frederick
Zazove that Standard's proposed in
vestment in the stock would yield it
6.59 per cent.
No opponents of the proposal ap
peared and Examiner Reeder re
cessed the hearing “until further
call” at the request of Zazove, who
said he wanted the additional time
to “see what turns up.”

Henderson Appeal
For Compromise on
Price Bill Reported
Senate Prepares to Act
On Measure Approved
By House, 286 to 112
B7 the Auocieted Priu
Acting Price Administrator Leon
Henderson was reported today to
have made a last-minute appeal
to Senators for final approval of
compromise price-control legis
lation.
Well-lrformed sources said that
he had written a letter to Senators
In an attempt to refute any implica
tion that he believed the pending bill
would not achieve the degree of
price control that current conditions
warrant. It also had been reported
that Republicans might try to block
President Roosevelt’s expected ap
pointment of Mr. Henderson as ad
ministrator once the bill becomes
law.
Some Senators were reported to
have said that there was no good
reason to have an administrator who
believed the legislation he was to
direct would be ineffective.
Approval Today Forecast.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Lead
er Barkley told reporters the confer
ence report on the price bill probably
would be approved today. He pre
dicted approval also for the war
powers bill which was debated in the
Senate yesterday.
Senator Barkley's comments were
made at the White House after he
and other congressional leaders had
held their weekly legislative consul
tation with the President.
These developments came as the
Senate prepared to call up a Senate
House compromise on the contro
versial price legislation which the
House approved yesterday by a vote
of 288 to 119.
Senator Brown, Democrat, of
Michigan, floor manager for the
bill, also said that the ceil
ings on 23 of the 25 major farm
crops apparently would be affected
by only one of the three agriculture
limitations in the bill—that pro
hibiting the imposition of a ceiling
below 110 per cent of parity. Only
cotton and potatoes, he said, would
be affected by other stipulations
that ceilings could not be fixed be
low the market levels of October 1
and December 15 or the average
price from 1919 to 1929.
These farm restrictions—which
originally spilt both the House and
Senate and evoked the bitter criti
cism of the President before they
were worked out finally—went vir
tually unnoticed In the rough and
tumble House debate yesterday.
Instead, arguments centered
around a provision that the Price
Administration Office be authorized
to require licensing of businesses
to make the program effective and
another that a board of review be
created to restudy any price ceiling
orders that might be promulgated.
Wolcott Proposal Detested.
Under the leadership of Repre
sentative Wolcott, Republican, of
Michigan an attempt was made to
eliminate the licensing sections and
to restore the review board once
approved by the House. But that
double-barreled proposition was de
feated. 309 to 189.
Representative Wolcott declared
that the legislation, which Mr.
Roosevelt requested last July, would
have been approved five months ago
if Congress had had confidence in
Mr. Henderson.
Majority Leader McCormack took
occasion during the animated de
bate to say that reports that the
President might veto the bill were
unfounded, but he did say he be
vieved that additional legislation
might have to be passed "to cor
rect some of the defects in the pres
ent bill."
The legislation, first requested by
t President Roosevelt last July, would
| give a price administrator authority
i to fix ceilings on nrices. in his dis
cretion, as well as rents in defense
areas. Licenses could be required
for the conduct of almost any busi
ness. If provisions of a license were
violated the offending party would
be warned, then the Government
could petition a State court to sus
pend it. That court might, after
a hearing, suspend the license for not
longer than 12 months and the ag
grieved party could appeal through
normal court channels.
