yes. all Americans are blind and deaf
and dumb"
Miss Thomson repeated this part of
Miss Keller's remarks, adding that she

SECURITIES BILL
RADICALLY REVISED
Committee Draft curtai|s
Government Power to
Block Sales.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A wholesale revision of the admins
tration securities control measure has
been drafted by the Senate Banking
Committee under which the power oi
the Government to block stock and
bond sales would be curtailed sharply
The new draft. made public by the
committee right after 1t was informed
officially that President Roosevelt sup
ported the provision under which the
Federal Trade Commission would have
power to revoke registration of secur-
tiles, reduced this power to apply only
to cases of fraud or violation of the
bill.
In addition the committee definitely
limited the bills application to security
issues marketed after the bill becomes
law, exempting present issues of bona
fide corporations that have been operat-
ing year or more.
Liability Of Directors Cut.
1t greatly reduced the liability of di-
rectors for miSstatementS in the finan-
cial reports to be filed with the Trade
Commission, requiring that only three
fourths OF a corporations directors be
required to sign the reports.
Further the new version provides:
ANY director of corporation may, In
the discretion of the commission and
upon request before registration, for
good cause shown, be excused from
signing and swearing to the said state
ment"
Much opposition had been voiced to
the original mandatory responsibility
OF every director for the truthfulness
of the statements filed. The admins
tration'S SpokeSmen, however, had held
that this principle was vital to success
of the act.
The new bill specifically excludes
commercial paper, including notes,
drafts, bills Of exchange and bankers
acceptances, with maturities not ex-
ceeding nine months.
1t also exempts securities issued by
mutual building and loan and mutual
homestead associations.
Revocation Cause Modified.
1t modifies the cause for revocation
by eliminating the provision regarding
unsound or insolvent conditions of the
the commission decides this "iS in the
interest of the public welfare"
1t retains force to revoke for viola
tions of the provisions of the bill, If the
issuer has been or Is about to en-
gage in fraudulent transactions and for
fraudulent Misrepresentation in infor-
nation filed
The redraft retains the right of a
security holder to recover the price paid
if he has been defrauded, but elm
mates his right to recover damages.
The regulation for foreign securities
was altered to make requirements prac-
tically the same as those covering
domestic stocks and bonds. except that
the issuers and underwriters of the
foreign loans would be obliged to file
in addition:
THE terms of any collateral agree
