which resulted in four recommendations
for handling trading, made it clear that
administrators are not bound to ap-
prove or disapprove the proposed
changes in rules.
Administrators desire to remain free
to add other provisions II they believe
they are necessary and will not commit
themselves In advance Of public hear
ing on the code.
After q hearing. Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace and administrators can
1egalize the code, exempting it from at
tack under the antitrust laws. but he
has power to reject any Of its original
proposals, to amend them or to pre-
scribe entirely new ones II he sees fit.
Wallace has made a long study OF
grain marketing, particularly OF corn,
which has led to the formation of many
definite convictions. He declined today,
however. to express his ideas regard
ing changes In marketing rules, with
holding announcement of his position
until after the code has been con-
sidered.
Speculations on Effect
There was speculation whether ex-
change rules. If incorporated In the
code-As representatives Of the ex-
changes said was expected Of them
would have the effect Of Federal law
after legalization Of the code.
Some officials said this would throw
the burden Of enforcement on the
Government rather than through dis
ciplinary action of exchange members
by their own governing bodies under
this Interpretation. if administrators
invoked their licensing power in the
case OF the exchange code, disciplinary
action might take this procedure:
Governing bodies would report vio-
lations of any rules to representative
of Secretary Wallace and the latter
could revoke the license to operate of q
member. For each days operation
to. have one, the farm act specifies that
. fine Of up to 81, 900 may be levied.
Administrators, however. were report
ed to have taken the position that they
desire the changes in rules to be made
voluntarily and that the job of en-
forcing them be left with the exchanges,
providing administrators were given as
surance that the regulation would be
rigidly enforced.
Four Proposed Changes.
The four proposed changes provide:
Limiting daily fluctuations in prices
day, corn 4 cents and oats cents.
Higher margin requirements for grain
traders.
Limitation of the volume OF futures
which any trader engaged in specula-
tion could hold at one time.
Permanent elimination Of trading in
weekly and daily ndemnities-now tenn
porarily suspended by all Of the prin-
cipal exchanges.

Any One Can Guess.
Any one can have a free guess for

The logical expectation is that unless
