HITS GENERAL|T|ES
IN SECURITIES ACT.
American Bar Association
Urges That Law BE Made
More Specific.
&, ne Associated Press.

81 tie Associated Press.
Criticism of certain sections Of the
truth in securities" act was voiced
in a statement given out for publica-
ton today by the American Bar AS
sociation.
A special committee proposed IA
amendments of temporary nature to
cure some "of the obvious defects, ="
pending a complete and permanent
revision.
Uses General Language.
The Bar Association said:
The act embodies the broadeSt
definitions and uses the most general
language, and is extraordinarily COM
pleX. AS a result, the Interpretation
of many of its provisions is very vague
and uncertain.
1T imposes drastic liabilities, in es-
sence in terrorem, which are regarded
by those made subject to them as
unfair and un1ustif1ed.
1T radically alters the ordinary
established machinery for the distr1-
button OF securities. 1t rides rough
shod over legal principles which have
been long established in our law"
Characterizing the act as a brake
on recovery, the association discarded
as not subject to proof one way or
another the question of whether the
act had stopped the flow OF capital,
but pointed out:
In addition, the expressed unwill-
ingness, which We believe is sincere,
of directors, officers, bankers and ac-
countants to accept the liabilities I'M
posed cannot be ignored. 1t Is I'M
material whether this unwillingness is
based on exaggerated fears, as has
been alleged. 1t is, nevertheless, a
fact to be reckoned with"
Would Limit Liability.
The proposed amendments, in gen.
eral. would make definitions more
specific and make definite and GER
tain what securities are exempt from
the act. One change would require an
alleged damaged buyer of a security
to prove that he relied on the regis
tration statement or prospectus in
making his purchase, and thereafter
would limit liability to the person
making the error and in the amount
caused by the error.
Another amendment would elimi-
nate much of the information now
demanded and another would largely
eliminate foreign securities provisions
from the act.

VALLEY OPENS
CAMPAIGN ON
COMMUNISM
Continued from Page ID

Labor as the solution to the valley
labor problems. This organization.
he said, recognizes only the Amer-
can flag, is intended for labor and
is not political.
The American Federation of La
Dor. Fancher said. works through
legislation and arbitration to secure
its ends and told his hearers that
every effort to secure Cancellation.
through arbitration must be used
before any strike will be attempted.
Full services of the federation were
offered the valley to aid in solving
present and future problems and he
suggested permanent board to be
established in the valley to consider
the labor difficulties.
Fancher stated further that the
American Federation of Labor can
support only those unions which are
affiliated with itself and it is abso-
lutely against Communism in all its
FORMS 1t offers the field workers
legitimate union, strictly autono-
nous, with which the growers could
deal.
Roy Stilgenbaur, Brawley declared
himself as being against Commun-
ism and that all organizations or So
cieties which come into the valley to
cause strife here should be barred.
Charles Nice, commander of the
Imperial Valley Anti-Communist
Association stated that the valley
can look after its own interests
without any outside interference
and deplored the activities of those
who had come in from coast cities
to stir up the workers here and
cause them to become dissatisfied
with their work. He spoke of the
mass meeting to be held at the fair
grounds this afternoon by the aSso..
citation and invited all present to at
tend.
Representatives of the Filipino
and Mexican workers in the fields
spoke briefly stating that these
groups desired the absence of agi-
tators and asked for the cooperation
of all valley residents to aid them
in giving efficient service, once
these outside influences are re-
moved.
John Lester, labor commissioner
for the county, was the last speak
er. It was his opinion that a lack of
mutual understanding between en-
ployer and employee was often the
cause of much trouble and believed
that If the workers could organize
into valleywide group this would
aid in solving the difficulties.
He felt there might be a really
serious problem in the approaching
cantaloupe season and only the uni
ted effort and cooperation of all to-
gether with mutual understanding

Mr.. Jefferson
Bit Confused

Something should be done about
father who fails to know all about
his children. and that being the case
L. R. Jeff jefferson, manager OF
the County Oil company, has a
blasting coming to him from the
daughter born to him this morning
at La Solana hospital.
Jeff knew the baby was born,
and that was about all he did knew,
being unable to give the young Ia
dys name or weight. After making
direct inquiry OF the young lady
herself she informed The Press she
has not yet decided upon a name,
but confessed to weighing seven
pounds and two ounces.
There really is some excuse for
Jeff" who was so excited he
couldn't even quote oil prices and
even tried TO sell himself some.

ENTERTAINED
BY YUMA CLUB

Yuma Kiwanis club members put
on the program for this moons
meeting of the local clun, held at
the Barbara Worth hotel, the local
members being highly enthusiastic
over the splendid program given
them by the visitors.
Carl F'errar, president of the Yu-
ma club. presided, and community
singing. led by Carolina" Brunson,
opened the program. Brunson also
gave group of songs as cid Fred
Carrim, both of whom were well re-
ceiyed.
Speaker of the day was Hugo
Farmer. state senator from Arizona,
who spoke on legislative matters,
giving his own plan for constructive
improvement in the present state
legislative system.
Senator Farmer stated that in his
opinion the system of two houses,
copied from the English house of
lords and house of commons, was
no longer suited TO this country and
as matter of fact impedes con-
structive work.
In his plan state legislatures will
consist of one small representative
body continually in session which,
he believes, will suit the demands
of the modern age. This body will
have power to enact laws subject to
the governors veto which may be
over-ridden by three -fourths vote.
This body should be paid a decent
salary and should be debarred from
participating in outside work.
Senator Farmer further stated
that he telieyes his plan will afford
vast Saving to the state and will
prevent the presentation of SO many
bills with enactment of so few that
prevails at present.
He expresses his real pleasure in
having an opportunity to address
the local club in view of the fact
that the fight the two valleys have
been making in regard to Boulder
Dam and the All American canal is
so close to its elimination.
The following new members were
introduced: Gus Knabe, Bob White
law, Guy Beynon, Newton Davis,
Dunbar Carey, James Hushman and
H E. Corkhill.

their pay envelopes. General Mot
ors, in announcing the new rates at
the very moment when labor was
presenting its claims to the PreSi-
dent, was manifestly following the
Ford policy in presenting the most
powerful and material argument
against unionism that it would be
possible to make. %
In some quarters, it was felt that
the hours reduction was also step
in preparation for a strike, if one
is claimed, and an indication that
General Motors will keep its plants
open regardless of action by the A.
F.. of L., on the theory that their
men will not desert the shops If
they are satisfied with wages.

Government supervised workers
elections were held by union leaders
| today to be the key to temporary
solution of the automobile strike cri-

Confusion and tenseness marked
the approach of a ow-doWn in the
! strike issue.
i Some union leaders expressed be-
lief that President Roosevelt was
preparing to order elections to give
motor workers a new choice be-
tween American Federation of La
Dor Unions and company unions.
There was no confirmation of this
from other quarters.
The White House expressed con-
fidence that the present truce
would be extended until negotia-
tionS are completed
Mr.. RooSevelt's secretaries said
he was standing by" awaiting re-
quests from both sides for further
meetings.
The union leaders waited at A. F.
of L. headquarters and insisted the
next move was up to the White
House or Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. johnson.
Some of the local union leaders
asserted that their followers would
not wait much longer for adminis-
tration action.
A spokesman for the manufactur-
! ers declared that they too, were
awaiting a new move from the ad-
miniStration.
1t was believed likely, however,
that Johnson may have been con-
ferring with them in secret. The
administrator had not visited his
own offices up to noon.
