margin requirements may be set by law. Powers to curb large volume speculation may be placed in the hands of some regulatory body. It is likely that communi- cations will be so governed as to prevent wholesale departure of American securities to Canadian exchanges. Tt would be extreme ly unfortunate were congress to enact law limiting speculation. specialists, and floor traders, to such an extent as to leave only in- vestor demand in our markets. |.

 Washington, Feb 14.-(UP)-A day on Capitol Hill, where strange things happen when the Lawmak- CTS take time off from making laws:
 Chatetr:. Huey Long, making a speech about the CWA, is inter- rupted by the dignified Senator Barkley of Kentucky.

 Brass: The cuspidors that line the corridor between the capitol and the house office building were in perfect order to-day, shining brassily and spaced evenly every 25 feet. Rep --- of New York and Rep of Illinois haven't kicked any of them over in near ly .p week. They were told to stop by elder heads who threatened to make speeches if any more spit toons were toppled.

 New York, Feb. 14.-(UP).-A last half hour rally on the stock exchange today brought prices up in nearly all section of the list and stimulated activity after Q lethargic and narrow moving mar ket in the four and a half hours of trading preceding.
 Pressure lifted from the airplane issues and they moved up easily with Wright Aero gaining 9 points to 54. Steel common rose from 55 to 571-4, the latter up 1 1-8 points. Silver issues were strong. Mont gomery closed at 34 up 3-4 after an active session. Case rose more than a point to 80. Rails were steady.
 Minor losses were sustained by leading stocks in early trading which frightened from time to time by strength in silver issues and weakness in robaccos and wet stocks.
 Bonds, on the other hand, moved higher, including United States government issues. The latter were aided by oversubscription of the latest offerings aggregating $500, ,0OO,0 ,0O0. Commodities were mixed with grains steady and cot- ton down. Silver futures advanced and the spot metal made a new high since 1880. The dollar ruled steady with no interest in transac- tions.
 The rise in the price of silver metal led to the belief the ad- ministration would soon take up the silver problem. It was paral- leled by a spurt in silver stocks that carried all the leaders to new 1894 highs. They receded from these levels later. Howe Sound and International Silver shares held gains of more than 2 points.
 Aviation issues came to the front again in the late trading. Wright Aero jumped 2 points and gains of fractions to more than a point were scored by United Aircraft, Aviaion Corporation, North Ameri. can.
 Wet stocks dipped when the sen- ate committee delved into pool operations conducted in the issues last year, but they rallied from the lows later. Steels were de- pressed rather sharply around noon after which they rallied to around the previous close. Weak ness in tobaccos was not accom- panied by heavy trading and hence was checked in the late dealings.

 Vienna, Feb 14.-UP)-(By telephone to London)-Austria's socialist revolution soon will be history, Engelbert Dollfuss, four foot eleven inch west pocket chan cellor," told the United Press to- day in an exclusive interview. Doll- fuss, always confident, never on the retreat, spoke as if he regard ed the revolution as over already, though artillerymen then were smelling socialists just across the Danube. Forty-one, gray eyed. mustached, war time hero as a peasant first lieutenant of machine guns in an aristocratic army, shot once by a would-be assassin dur ing 21 purple months In office, Doll- fuss tone was eloquent of his char acter. Austria, he said would con- tinue It's political and economic re- covery.
 Events of. the past few days, in Austria" he said, '"have; been fol- lowed with great interest abroad. I am glad to be in position to in- form you that order has been re- established in the whole territory of Austria except for a"few minor, strictly localized. attempts still be- ing made to create disorder which will soon be past history.

MAC CRACKEN TO KNOW HISFATE
tcontinued from Page l.)


 "The contempt, if any contempt there was, has been purged as com pletely as possible. I plead with you hot to take any action that would involve the tragedy of end- ing this mans entire career" When Hogan concluded, the galleries were cleared, doors were locked, and the senate began its secret debate. Chairman Black of the special airmail investigat- ing committee opened the pro- |ceedings with a two-hour statement of testimony taken by his group.
 That testimony, Black contend ed, showed that MacCracken per- mitted removal from his law sof- flee here of files which had been under senate subpoena. The youthful Alabama senator sug- gested various methods of pro- cedure in the case. Then he yielded to Senator White, repn, Me, who supplemented Blacks views and outlined some of his own. Majority Leader Robinson ob- tained recess until to-day.
 The senate also had to consider it's case against three airline of- ficials, charged with MacCracken. They were Col l.. H. Brittin, vice. president of Northwest Airways, Harris M. Hanshue, president of Western Air Express, and Gilbert L. Givvin, Hanshue's private secre- tary.
 The senate may find one or all of the four defendants guilty or in- nocent of contempt. It may'refer one or all of the cases to the Dis trict of Columbia supreme court. It may inflict it's own punishment.

Stock Exchange Rules

1NC~AN A~@~-NAA~NA-E9D
 New York, Feb 14-UP)- President Richard Whitney of the New York Stock exchange today announced addition of three new Eules of procedure governing Oper- ations of pools and of specialists. He said the new stock exchange bill if passed in it's present form would impair liquidity of American securities and might freeze all orr ganized security markets.
 The new rules are as folloWs:
 |. Members of the exchange or their firms or partners, are pro hibited from having any interest in the profits of any pool, syndicate or joint account organized or used Intentionally for the purpose of in- fiuencing unfairly the market price of any security by means of op- tions or otherwise and with the intention. of making a profit thereby.
 2. Any member acting as spe- cialist or his firm or any of his partners is prohibited from acquir- ing or granting any option in res- pect of the stock in which such member is a specialist.
 8. Any specialist is prohibited from disclosing to any person. oth- CT than certain committees of the exchange, any information in re- gard to orders entrusted to him. These three rules, Whitney said,
 have been adopted as the result of long study by officials of the exchange. Asked if the new rules
 now round out the exchange regu- lations for all contingencies, Whit
 ney said the rules were never static and that new ones would have to be made as new situations arose. On the latter score-rigid, infiex- ible rules-Whitney criticised the proposed bill to regulate exchanges.
 He was especially emphatic in the
 matter of margins in the new bill.
 The worst feature of these rigid
 margin requirements" he said, lis that they are made mandatory up- on our entire banking system. in respect to loans made to persons who have purchased listed secu- rites within 30 days"
