So, sitting beside libby on the way out to

said tentatively, "at least we've got two days

the train was that she was going to spend

to know - how?'
Dinner was not success The roast chicken,
which had had to stay in the oven while Doris
waited for train after train, was roast in name

The white meat had about the consistency of

Il don't like chicken much anyhow" said
libby, smiling helpfully. Tomorrow night

PERMITS TO SELL
SECURITIES ASKED
Outsiders Want To Pebble
: Stocks In State, But
Without License
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
TR v

Raleigh, May ia flood of re-
quests for permission to sell various
securities in North Carolina and to
advertise securities for sale, is COM
ing into the office of Secretary Of
State Thad Eure, since he took over
the enforcement of the State capital
issues law, he said today. A good
many of these security firms, as well
as their issues, have not been regist-
cred and licensed in the State, as the
law requires, but they are doing every
thing possible to get this permission
just the same, Eure said.
Under the State capital issues or
blue sky law, every firm or corpora
ton offering securities for sale in
North Carolina must register and Sc
cure a license, while their sb1leSmen
must also register and be licensed"
Secretary Eure said. I'm addition, they
must submit the securities they want
to sell for our investigation and ap-
proval and these in turn must be reg
istered and approved. The law re-
quires this for the protection of the
public, since the capital issues de-
partment must investigate all firms,
statesmen and issues of securities be-
fore granting a permit or license. For
when issue the, licenses, these are the
states guarantee that the statesmen
and their securities have been investi-
shted and found to be bona fide.
"But there are many firms who are
trying to get around the law by conn
plying with only part of it," Eure
said. "Ehey are sending in the data
for the approval Of the actual issues,
in the hope that if they DIM get their
securities approved, they can then sell
them through unlicensed brokers' and
salesmen-and without paying the Ii
cense fee for the companies handling
them.
II am insisting, however, that the
firms issuing the securities first be
licensed, then that the securities be
registered and approved and finally
that they be sold only through licens-
ed dealers, brokers and statesmen, as
the law requires"
Secretary of State Eure advises all
prospective purchasers of stocks,
bonds or other securities, to demand
THAT statesmen show their licenses be-
fore buying any of their offerings.

how far labor lea.!erS intend to go.
Most manufactu:>4s are in agreement
with the President on living costs
They want to keep retail prices down.
But every effort has been made to
raise raw material prices and labor
costs are mounting rapidly. Hence,
manufacturers have no alternative
but to push up the price of their fin

make three. With the administration
cracking-down on higher retail prices,
businessmen dare not go ahead with
expansion plans. I am told that bic.
projects, which call for huge OUTLAWS
in materials and labor, are being held
up until the outlook clears again.

one basic lesson Business conditions

over-production, over-speculation and
over-expansion. We have none of this
today. We are just entering period
