to exclude exchanges, associations of

Pujo declared: I'm limiting securi-
ties limiting the size of membership

trusts. The New York exchange is
striking example. The clearing
houses must be reorganized. AS a
result of an investigation, l under
stand that several clearing houses are
voluntarily removing the restrictions.
They must change radically. In most
cases these houses force the banks
to join or quit business"
Civil and criminal prosecutions may
