Securities Dealers
Say 5. E. {. Seeks
To Control Market
Proposal TO Require
Bidding on Utility Issues
Called Virtual Dictution
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The National Associa ton of Sc
curities Dealers charged last night
that a proposal by the Securities
and Exchange Commission to re-
uuire competitive bidding for utility
security issues over Sl,000,000 was
"a step toward the complete con-
troll by Government of the private
capital market"
I'VE are sure" the n. A. S. D. said
In q reply to an S. E. c. request
for opinions on the proposal, that
Congress did not intend this. be-
cause Congress limited the power
of the commission in these matters
to a supervisory rather than a man
agerial capacity"
The association expressed the be-
lief that competitive bidding would
lead in practice TO the virtual dc
tation of capital issues by the COM
mission as substitute for nego-
tiation, because it would lead to
standardized forms of financing and
indentureS, with a sacrifice OF the
diverse needs of individual COM
panies to regimented pattern"
The committee which prepared
the N A. S. DIS report said that it
was convinced that the S. E. G..
had no statutory power to order
competitive bidding.
The committees view was sup
ported by an opinion from the
Cleveland law firm OF Baker, Hos
teller & Patterson. Francis J. ker-
nan, jr., of New York, headed the
special committee.
The S. E. C. proposal was pre-
pared by its public utilities division
and submitted to the utilities and
financial industries for study and
comment on December 90 A pub
lie conference on the suggestions
has been called for January 27.
Opposition already has been
voiced by the Investment Bankers

Douglas Fairbanks, jr, said after
a conference with Secretary of State
Hull today that he believed there
should be no stopping point in
American assistance to Great Brit
ain.
Mr.. Fairbanks, movie star, who is
vice chairman of the Committee
to Defend America by Aiding the
Allies, called on Secretary Hull to
consult about matters of policy in
volved in speech he planned to
broadcast ever c. B. S. at $50 pan.
today.
Emphasizing that he was ex-
pressing only his individual views,
Mr Fairbanks said he believed that
if this country could aid England
and still avoid going to war it should
do So but should not let the risk of
war "be a stopping point"
I'VE should not seek or declare
war ourselves" he continued, "but
if our main aim is to see that Hitler
ism and its threat to civilization is
beaten. there should be no line
drawn.
There would be less risk to us
in doing everything we can to beat
Hitlerism through aid to England
even at the threat of involvement in
war than the risk of letting England
be beaten and having to fight on our
own territory"
Asked specifically if he would
favor use of United States naval
vessels to convoy shipments to Great
Britain, Mr. Fairbanks reiterated
that there should be no stops at
all" in the policy of aiding England
I'VE should not be bullied, should
not let ourselves be influenced by
threats of the axis" he said.

Gas Mask Filter
Used in Footwear

A gas mask and woman's shoes
are two very different themes we
admit and it has been left to science
to relate them. And here's how!
Since the war and the necessity for
personal protection came expert
ments and Improvements on the gas
mask of 1914-1918. Inventors took
old gas masks apart, put new ones
together, substituting, adding and
perfecting with the result new
filter has been developed.
Since then it has been discov-
cred that when specially treated this
filter was found to have the quail
ties which make an ideal medium
for innersoles. So now you can get
shoes, by making known your wants
to your salesperson, with ''insole-
ated'' innersoles that actually do re-
lieve burning feet" the ailment
generally conceded to be the cause
of foot fatigue and the many foot
ills following it.
Something that would establish a
normal loot temperature would &C
complish the cure, doctors said, and
onco-insole-ated does just that. This
new comfort-giving sole which new
est smartly styled shoes have also
acts as shock absorber and is
nodded with first wearing to the in
dividual contours of the foot
The fact that insulation is put to
good use in shoe as well as gas
mask construction is just one more
indication of American ingenuity. 1t
gives us one more reason for being
glad to be Americans in that our
women are buying shoes for the
protection of feet instead of gas
masks for the protection of life.

There certainly is d pronounced

The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for mess of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done so. Many Of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their pernicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, Sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe within!
