SECURITY CENSOR
ROLE IS STUNNED
Government Acts to Prevent
Use of Registration
as Guarantee.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 18.-The Govern
ment is taking no chances of being rep
resented as national board OF censor
ship when new securities are issued
under the revised Federal securities BILL
This section of the measure. hitherto
hardly noticed, has created interest
among bankers who feel that changes
considered by Congress will strengthen
the bills practical application.
Censorship Is Feared.
The act, as originally drawn, might
have put the Federal Trade Commission
In the position Of board of censor
ship, in the opinion of some authori-
ties, and it was feared that the COM
missions stamp of approval on new
security issue might have been inter-
preted by many statesmen and investors
as a guarantee.
Section 10 of the revised act recog
nizes this possibility and takes the fol-
lowing precaution:
1T shall be unlawful for any person
to represent or cause to be represented
to any prospective purchaser that
either registration of securities with the
commission or omission by the COM
mission to revoke or suspend said regis
tration constitutes or is evidence of the
commissions approval or recommended
ton OF such securities"
Safeguards Inadequate.
However, it is the opinion of Walter
A. Stauo. newly elected president OF
the New York State Society of Certified
Public Accountants, that the measure
does not provide adequate safeguards
for new municipal issues. Staub.
member of the international accounting
firm of Lybrand. Ross Brothers and
Montgomery said
The numerous defaults in payment
OF obligations under bond issues which
have been occurring on the part OF
municipalities and other local govern
ment bodies. and the slump in the credit
standing of some of the large cities
whose credit has heretofore been un-
questioned, has caused investors to raise
a pertinent question. Why should not
governmental finances be subject to the
same kind of control and periodical re-
view as obtains in the case OF we'll
managed business concerns?"

a survey would be some means of calling a constitutional convention. A republican motion would have this convention made up of delegates selected as our representatives and senators today. This is obviously un. fair as 1t does not provide for representation by the people but by the towns. That was never the intent of the makers of our Con- stitution when they provided for amend ment ratification by Legislatures or eonvsn- tions called in the several states.
 There will be no dearth of prohibition measures introduced in our Legislature. But whatever the state does it must not lose sight of the fact that it should prepare itself for repeal, All legislation passed must directly rest on this eventuaity. If we wait for New York to take action we may delay too long. Being sister states it is certain that any de- eison that New York and Connecticut come to on state liquor control will be heard with the geratest respect by alI states that have pronounced wet tendencies. We really can perform a distinct service to the entire na. ton in this respect. The duty being before us we should not lag in accepting it.

Civic Pressure

A real estate man, formerly professor of economics in a state university, is pro. noting a progressive civic organization in his community. He calls it pressure group" since its purpose is to exert pres sure on existing political parties. It will differ from ordinary lobbying groups in it's membership. which will be composed of eit' izcns from all the different trades, industries and professions of the city, Its pressure will be excrtcd on behalf of general public good, not to achieve special favors for any single class Says the organizer, wisely;
 There is no alchemy by which you can diStll q better official than the public from which be is drawn. If we don't do some. thing like this every city election will be fought out on management of the police force Cor some other matter not logically an isSue), We've got to abandon the old idea of looking for leadership. We've got to be our own leaders. We've got to do our own thinking" The plan has much 10 recon. mend it. Good citizens have frequently failed of securing good public officials sound civic policies and needed reforms sim- ply because they have not been properly organized to make their will effective, The forces of practical politics arc always well organized.

Notice that the gypsy moth has invaded woodlands in Woleott should be signal of warning to property onwers in Waterbury who appreciate the trees growing on their land. The gypsy moth is one of the most destructive pests that has yet invaded our fair land. It feeds on almost any species of green leaf and once it is established in a wooded section it's depredations usually don't end until every bit of foliage is con. sumed. The moths are destroyed by burn- ing the egg clusters. That was done in Woleott, It should be done wherever they arc found. There should be some active campaigning this spring by various organiza- tions to rid the community of all such pests and to spread information among residents on their control.

Once more birth control advocates arc pushing forward measures 10 be considered by the Connecticut General Assembly. A mass meeting has been called for Hartford late in February at which noted disciples of this cult will discuss the subject. The pres. cnt state laws arc to be liberalzed, under the terms of the proposed bill, so that prop crly qualified physicians may be permitted to prescribe lhe use of eentraeeptivcs for patients. This idea is quite representative of the spirit of this age in which we are living It is the eutgrewlh of mantle of complete eandor that now envelopes the United States, We have become such q candid race that t is almost considered sin. ful to withhold information that just a few years ago was believed to be the special property of the doctor and not the average layman. We have come long way since that time, We can't say that the human race in this country has improved notieeably as q result. Our morals aren't of the best. You would not expect them 10 be where laxity is preached. Birth control advocates believe earnestly and sincerely in the doe' trn@ that they teach, But SO do some of us hold fast to the tenets given US in child hood and revealed as tenets worth holding to in manhood, namely modesty and purity are virtues 10 be admired in any person and 10 be strived for by all,

Connecticut won't take any action on the proposed amendment to the federal Con. stitution outlawing lame-duek sessionS of Congress until next Thursday We hope that the favorable vote on the amendment. which we are sure is to come. won't come too late for Connecticut to be among the thirty-six states insuring ratification. This week when Wyoming and Nebraska state legislatures approved the amendment it brought the total number up to twenty eight. That leaves only eight more neees- sary for ratification. Conneetieut should be among those eight If we were the thirty sixth state to ratify that indeed would be a signal of honor. But when the formal vote is taken Thursday, we hope to sec both houses unanimously endorsing the amend ment. We have waited many years for this change in our congressional machinery.

National Fairgrounds

Tourist travel in the national parks does not slow up with other travel. On the con- trary trary, it has increased every year. In lo32 the gain was 10 per cent over travel in l93l, but l93l and l930 both saw more national park touring than did the extravagant year of 1929. The open- ing of new national park areas may be a stimulating factor. For example, the greatest single inerelsc of travel in l932 was in the new Great Smoky Mountains National Park. which was visited by 100000 persons,
 Whatever the reasons for the growing park travel the result is good. Park visitors get their moneys worth in interesting and unusual scenery, in pleasant driving. in healthful outdoor activities. There are more than 20 national parks and a number of national monuments and forests They vary in special features from eaverns to mountains, streams, glaciers, voleanos, medi' einal springs, geysers, prehistoric relics such as the cliff dwellings the giant redwood trees and SO on. Many of the natural won- ders to be seen ip the parks cannot be dupl- eated anywhere in the world.
 The national monuments are usually of special historical significance Washington's home at Mount Vernon is an example. These great national paygrounds have been set apart for the nations enjoyment. It is good to learn that the public turns 10 them in in' ereaSing numbers.

New York Acts Quickly

Governor Herbert Lehman of New York certainly obtained quick results from his re- quest for q special commission 10 prepare for control of liquor manufacture and sales in that state. The measure was rushed through the Senate and House in less than twenty.four hours. As soon as it was signed by the governor the roster of the eomm's' sion was made public. Governor Lehman has evidently given considerable thought 10 the lineup of the commission. lt is repre- sentative body and was SO declared by mem' 'bers of the General Assembly, both rcpubl' can and democratic.
 Az yet the chairman of the commission has not been named He or she will be named by the commission itself lt is too bad that Alfred |, Smith could not have been persuaded 10 act in this capacity. His presence on the board would have actually made it national in scope, And its findings would have served as . guidepoa to other states considering the same problem that New York has attacked SO eflieaeiously' However, we can well realize that the many demands being made upon Ex-Governor Smiths time and attention these days are more than he can cope with. He must draw the line somewhere.
 New York should have q most eompre' ,hensive state liquor control plan drawn up by the commission designated by Governor Lehman. All phases of social and industrial life are represented on it. New Yofk's leg isIaton seem to be agreed that the state must prepare itself for the coming prohibition repeal. We think every state in the Union should fertify itself for this change lt may not be sudden. But when it does come con- fusion should not reign throughout the nation. A majority of states desire that liquor control should revert 10 them. lf they want the problem as their very own, then let them prepare themselves aeeefd' ,ihgiy.
