STOCK CONTROL
LAW GOES IN
EFFECT
By ROBERT s. THoRNBURGH

By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
Government regulation Of specu-
lative stock transactions became
effective today.
Owing to the fact that many
Of the regulations of the Securi-
ties Exchange Commission, head
ed by Joseph P. Kennedy, have
not been promulgated, little
change was anticipated in the
operation Of the various ex-
changes.
The most important Of the
features of the law made effective
today was that prohibiting man.
tpulation Of stock prices by arti-
3icial means.
This, as were certain other
provisions Of the law, is aimed at
protection Of the public from un-
scrupulous operators. Following
extensive hearings before the
banking and currency committees
Of Congress the Securities Elk
change act was enacted prin.
cipally as a result of the stock
fiaSco in 1929 that cost amateur
traders as well as professionals
billions of dollars in the greatest
market crash that the world has
ever known.
Twenty-Five exchanges were reg
1Stered by the commission for i'm
mediate operation, while IL others
were granted exemption until
hearings can be conducted.
In the effort to protect the pub
lie the law requires that before
stocks may go on the market for
trading it must be established to
the satisfaction of the commission
that they are backed by sound col
lateral.
The various features of the Sc
curities act will be put into effect
as rapidly as the commission can
get around to promulgating the
regulations. Mr.. Kennedy an
ticipated that the law would be
fully effective by November /.

According to the usual proce-

for a consideration of the project

Interior Secretary.
