House Member Urges
EnIarging offs. &c.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Cole, Democrat, of
Maryland, suggested today that the
Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion of five members be enlarged
in order to be able better to meet
the public and study its problems.
During a hearing before the House
Interstate Commerce Committee to
consider amendments to the Securi-
ties and Exchange Act, Representa-
tive Cole told Ganson Purcell, a
commissioner, that he had received
complaints several years ago" that
the public had difficulty in contact
ing any members.
Il felt then that you ought to
have larger commission" Repre-
sentative Cole said. Il wonder how
five members of the commission
can be available to the public for
discussion at this particular time -
"As far as I know" Mr.. Purcell
replied, II think we have been able
to see all members of the public
who want to see us on an important
problem. think we have been able
to keep up with our work and will
be able to continue to do So"
Expansion of the commission from
five to nine members is one of a
series of amendments to the 1888
and 1884 securities law on which
hearings began yesterday. They
would revise the form and time of
filing of new securities registration
statements and types for the new
issues.
