for President Roosevelt by acting
Budget Director Daniel w. Bell.
For several months New Deal Of

approaching 100000 900 may re-
suit from the new budget summary.
The economy program will move
along two fronts. First, a general
pairing Of the pay roll of various
emergency agencies is contemplated
on the theory that their needs have
passed the peak. Second, even
larger savings are expected through
a reduction Of relief costs.

figures showing that government
costs in the last few weeks have
fallen well under estimates.
Although expenditures in July
and August were well above a year
ago, the first two weeks of this
month show a slight reduction from
d year ago. This is one Of the few
occasions since President Roosevelt
took Office that costs fell below the
preceding year.

when budget estimates were pre-

SEC Giving Study
to Support Of New
Issues.
by VINCENT LYONS.
Times Fina noial Editor

THE business Of selling w
/ security issues covers a lot
more territory than the average
person reckons. There is a bit cf
"spade-work' TO be done prior TO
the time the issue makes its bow
before the investing public and
there is also a measure Of follow
through tactics put on exhibition
after the securities have been sold
and are finding their way into
safety deposit boxes.
Familiar with this phase the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion currently Is giving serious
thought TO these activities, which
in stock market parlance would be
grouped under the heading Of sup
port. After the study has been
completed the SEC is expected to
establish a definite policy IN regard
10 these maneuvers.
Probably the most COmmOa Of
these manipulatiVe. or stablllza-
ton. moves has to do with dress
ing-up the market Immediately
before and during the period a new
issue is placed on sale Such win
dow dressing would occur where
other listed issues Of the same COM
pany are given a Whirl upward by
creating an artificial situation.
Professional traders are quick to
recognize these tactics and adjudge
them as unnatural" dealings.
4 MOTHER form of sterilization
N occurs when the new issue
Of securities is passing through
what IS called the secondary dis
tributiOn stage This secondary
distribution stage IS in attendance
when buyers Of large blocks of the
issue are liquidatlng their holdings
which. in turn, are picked up by
the investor of moderate means.
In order to allow this transfer Of
ownership to go on without dis
turblng the market additional
stab. lizatiOu activities are fOStered.
Two OtheF methods of the same
pattern are support by the COrpo-
ration which issued the new Sc
curIties and the employment Of
floor traders to see that a sta
bic price structure exists for a
certain period. All four OF these
devices have been employed for a
number Of years.
Joseph p. Kennedy chief Of the
SEC. has been educated to these
tactics in the years he was atlll-
ated with Wall Streets workings.
AS a result Of this association Mr..
Kennedy has a thorough under
standing of the systems adyan-
tages and disadvantages. In all
probability his feelings on the mat
ter Will have much to do with the
eventual decision of the whole
body.
