PROPOSED CODE
OF INVESTMENT
BANKING READY
Sweeping Reforms viii Be
Studied by National
Institutions.

Sweeping reforms in banking were
revealed today in proposed rules of
fair practice for investment bank
ers which will be submitted Monday
TO firms in twenty-siX cities
throughout the country.
These proposed rules, prepared by
the code drafting committee of the
Investment Bankers Association of
America, have been approved by the
association board of governors at a
meeting attended also by non-mem-
bers Of the association and by mem
bers Of the national code commit
tee.
The rules prescribe that invest
ment bankers must insist that COR
porations whose securities they sell
to the public will disclose periodi-
cally all essential information to
help investors know what their
securities are worth.
High-speed distribution and high
pressure selling shall be banned, the
proposed code states. No sale shall
be confirmed unless it has been ap-
proved by the investment banker
or responsible executive of the
investment banking firm. So-called
doorbell selling is forbidden abSo-
lutely.
Tribunals Are Planned
Machinery for the enforcement OF
fair practice rules is to be set up by
the business itself. Tribunals will
be established to which any investor
may bring his grievances.
Advance notices on new issues, in
Guiding adequate information, must
be given in ample time for careful
consideration by the securities dis
tributOr.
The investment banker will have
to disclose to all customers whether
he is acting as principal or agent
and if as agent, whether for buyer
or seller.
The proposed rules provide for a
uniform price at which new issues
of securities may be sold to the
public, but also definitely strikes
at selling to preferred lists. The
practice Of favoring one client over
another, by paying more than the
market value TO "a security taken in
a trade, is prohibited.
Drastic Penalties Urged
If approved by the NRA, the rules
will have the force of law under
the national Industrial recovery act.
The association believes, however,
that investment bankers should de-
wise procedure for enforcing the
spirit of the code that is more ex-
peditious and effective than is pro-
vided by the courts.
1t is provided that all investment
bankers desiring to do so should reg
lister with the investment bankers
code committee. Drastic penalties
for violations of the code would be
determined by the committee.
The association believes that the
compelling inducement for invest
ment bankers to register is that no
registered banker would grant any
nonregistered banker in America
the discounts or commissions Gus
tomary among dealers, nor join with
him in any selling syndicate, but
could deal with him only on the
same basis as with a member of the
general public.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6. - Prices
the stock exchange today, while
fluctuations narrowed in United
States government issues and COM
modities were firmer.
Chrysler was the outstanding
feature in activity. 1t came out
in long strings at declining prices
and touched 53ai off IL points be-
fore encountering moderate sup
port. Other automobile issues also
met the usual profit-taking that
comes when the automobile show
opens. The issues had been bid up
in demonstration preceding the
show.
Aside from the motors there were
few soft spots. Chemicals met a
little selling, but failed to lose much
ground. Oils fluctuated irregularly
as did farm equipments, and mer-
camille issues. The latter had good
news in their favor in the form of
sharp gains in sales reports.
Demand increased for Transam-
erica and it rated among the most
active stocks on the board. Buying
was stimulated by resumption OF
dividends on the issue.
Steel shares held small gains
despite news from youngstown that
operations in that district for the
coming week would be down 6
points at 26 per cent of capacity.
The lull is expected only to be tenn
porary with a pickup due soon as
automobile plants swing into heavy
operations on new models. U. S..
Steel moved over a half point area
Through the short session.
Utilities Firm
Manhattan Elevated per cent
guaranteed stock scared points to
81 and other transactions moved up
smaller amounts. This rise was set
fUff by progress being made in tram
sit unification here. 1t was predict
Cd today that transit unification
would probably be consummated by
April /.
Utilities generally presented a
firm tone in dull turnover. Rail-
road issues were up small amounts
on better than seasonal showing in
car loadings. Communications held
steady around the previous close.
Wet stocks were up slightly as were
gold issues.
Stock sales today totaled approx
imately 100000 shares as against
751,613 shares last Saturday. Curb
sales totaled $4,000 shares as against
100000 shares last Saturday.
Dow Jones preliminary averages
showed industrial 1854 off 029,
railroad 39.97 up OH, utility 22.45
off 0.03.

milk shortage today as dairy farm
ers picketed highways and dumped
milk to enforce a strike called by
$4,000 members of the Pure Milk
association.
While hundreds of deputy sheriffs
patrolled the roads in an effort to

The association controls about &C

The present price paid members
of the association is $210 a hun

tors proposed a reduction of 10

COMPANIES ASKED To HALT
QUESTIONABLE LAND SALES

Three companies selling land or
leases supposedly in connection with
carbon dioxide gas development in
the northern end of Imperial coun-
ty have been asked to withdraw
such land or leases from the mar
ket by the state real estate depart
ment, according to communication
received today by the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce from Thom-
as j. Murphy, assistant real estate
commissioner. The companies which
have been asked to discontinue
sales of land and leases, according
to Murphy, are those which an in
vestigation has shown to have in
adequate facilities established for
the marketing of the possible pro-
duction of carbon dioxide gas.
This action on the part of the
real estate department, states w.
H. Tyler president of the Ell Gen.
tro chamber, is another victory for
the local chamber in its constant
battle against the sale of Chocolate
Mountain land for any purposes
whatever, be it agriculture. oil de-
velopment or possibility of produc-
ing carbon dioxide gas. The cham
ber has offered no opposition to
companies which have been drilling
wells to bring in carbon dioxide
gas for the purpose of manufacture
ing dry ice but for several months
has strongly urged that the state
real estate department take some
action against the companies selling
lands or leases at high prices with
out making any effort to drill wells
or to prove in any manner that car
bon dioxide gas was available, &C

He pointed out this morning that

another one has been acquired
There is some baseball equipment

Books and magazines for the
men to read are needed and anyone
who may have these things not now

needed, and guitars, harmonicas,
ukeleleS, phonograph records and
any other used musical instrument
would be greatly appreciated to help
the men while away their recrea-
ton periods.
Should such instruments be found
in need of repair, that work will
be done at the camp, Spencer said
and they will be given the best
possible treatment. Furthermore a
request is made for extra razors,
discarded safety razors and blade
sharpeners. Such articles will be
more than welcome at the camp.
Over rs per cent of the men in
the camp have been away from
