In connection with National City Co.

Gray criticized transactions by Will

stocks. Pointing to losses by the pub
lie, he said:
"Of course, these losses were ulti-

the Fox TheaterS stock and these
transactions are an illustration of the
nefarious practices which can be car

SECURITIES ACT
MAY Be CHANGED
Law Intended to Protect In.
vesting Public Is Re-
garded Obstacle.
BY CHAS. r. SCHAEFFER,
Associated Press Financial Writer

A vigorous effort will be made In the
coming session of Congress to amend
the Federal securities act, despite the
Federal Trade Commissions approval
of the measure in its present form.
In the interim, until Congress meets,
assurances have been given that several
notifications of the act will be de-
veloped seeking to revise some of the
less workable features of the bill. These
assurances come from the American
Bankers Association, the Investment
Bankers Association and the Chamber
Of Commerce Of the United States, to
mention few Of the more powerful
groups wanting changes.
It is understood that the administra-
ton as well as members Of Congress are
welcoming suggestions based on mprov-
ing the law.
Regarded Obstacle.
The law was conceived as a measure
to protect the investment buying pub
lie, with the least possible interfer-
ence to business. But opponents say
the financial liabilities which 1t places
on those connected with the issuance OF
new securities Is proving serious OBJ
stacle to necessary financing.
Another objection frequently voiced
is that the registration feature Of the
bill makes it easier for promoters Of un-
tried ventures to comply with the law
than corporations and bankers of es-
tablished reputation.
Limited New Issues.
The record of new issues offered dur
ing September consisted exclusively OF
seven brewery issues on the corporate
securities side. while corporate refund
ing was limited to two modern-sized
issues in contrast with usually heavy
conversions in the Fall period.
It Is believed the suggested amend
ments will be based on the assumption
that Federal regulation of new securi-
ties will be exercised for some time to
come: that the present framework of
the bill be not disturbed except in
few particulars.
