WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The

The proposal was set forth before

ney. suave but some times irritable
head Of the exchange. 1t was sub
mitted after a day in which he
challenged the value and described
dangers of the stringent
bill now pending.
AS an alternative to the con-
gresSional bill placing all stock ex-
changes under the control of the
federal trade commission, Mr.
Whitney'S proposal suggested the
creation of a stock exchange CO.

Ferdinand Pecora, investigator
for the senate banking committee in
its sensational inquiry into eX-
change and banking practices,
hailed as victory" the fact that the
exchange was willing to submit to
regulation at all.
Mr. Whitney made clear that his
proposal came from the exchange
itself. Historically opposed to gov
