FLOUTS FEAR

Declaring that he is no longer
concerned about what the brain
truSters may do, Lewis H. Brown,
president Of JohnS-Manville Cor
poration and chairman Of the
subcommittee on the national
housing act of the Durable Goods
Industries Committee, told the
New York Building Congress that
recovery is taking place and that
the emergency is over.
He added, however, that any eX-
panSion Of industrial plant or
equipment requiring the issuance
Of securities is, in general, going
to be made only after the most
careful study and with the great
est reluctance.
It is the present Judgment Of
the Durable Goods Industries Com
mittee that it will be necessary at
the next session Of Congress to
request further amendments to
the securities act Of 1888 and the
banking act of 1888, and amend"
mentS to the stock exchange act
of 1884, Mr.. Brown said. They
still contain provisions that tend
to discourage directors and Off
GERS Of corporations from author
iztng the issuance of securities
and tend to cause corporations to
get along as best they can with
the plant, equipment and inVen-
tories they can maintain on their
current cash resources, he de-
clared.

SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, June 81. 0.N.sJ.
The market discouraged q few
more Of its boosters by q second
decline yesterday. Weakness in
commodities, Led by wheat and
cotton, was an unsettling factor in
the absence Of outside construc-
tive developments. Wall Street Il
all the more blue because Of the
low volume of trading, which is
putting brokerage houses heavily
in the red again. Stocks, though,
haven't run into enough selling to
bring any apprehension about the
longer term outlook.
We hear the "gyps" have begun
operating again; so the public had
better beware.
One broker says a high-preSsure
telephone crowd got in touch with
one Of his clients, made up an un.
favorable yarn about Creole Petro

The beginning Of the House oil
investigation should put the "hot

The probe is slated to start
next week, and is expected to be
exhaustive and to take a good
part Of the summer. While it Is
going on, producers are likely to
keep within the Federal allow
ables, which they have violated
most of the year, and this would
strengthen the price structure. . .

Although general rains on June

SPECIALIST FEE
To Be $1,000

NEW YORK, June 21.-An ex-
ira fee Of $1,000 annually is levied
against specialists on the floor Of
the New York Stock Exchange for
the privilege Of maintaining .
telephone and a clerk at his post.
Disclosure Of the levy came about
following the announcement that
the Curb Exchange had adopted
a chargeof 5000 annually for Spe-
cialiSts on that exchange.
There are approximately 800
specialists on the floor and two
thirds Of these have the special
privileges. The fee, however, Is
not compulsory, and some special
lists do not come under the regu'
lation.
AS there are IL compartments
to a post, each post is capable Of
yielding extra fees Of $4,000 an
.nually to the exchange. There
are II posts on the floor, exclu'
sive Of the inactive post.
The $1,000 paid by specialists
Is much more than the charge
made against ordinary commits
sion houses. However, the former
are located in the trading arena
itself, whereas the commission
houses booths which line the
walls are not actually on the trad
ing floor.
Such charges against specialists
it was learned. have been IN effect
since the adoption Of the new
trading post by the exchange.

Federal Judge Faris has handed

out gold clause Of those bonds and
states holders are entitled to pay

Summarizing his opinion, Fed

lodged the power to say what

"2. No person in this nation

ClusiveIy deemed to hold in con-
temptation the power Of the
