Small Gains Scored
By Selected Stocks,
Others Backward
Advances Of Fractions
Just About Offset
Losses at Close
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Quiet re-
covery inclinations were exhibited
by selected stocks in today's market,
but many leaders continued to jog
along a declining trail.
Irregularly lower prices prevailed
at the start. Improvement cropped
up here and there later, especially
in the rubber group and, near the
close, gains of fractions just about
offset losses. Numerous issues were
unchanged. Dealings were slack
throughout, with transfers approx
mating 100000 shares, smallest for q
full session in two weeks.
The desire to await results of the
important battle of the Solomons
remained as a restraining influence
with potential buyers. The fact that
liquidation was notably timid was
viewed as bullish. The thought also
was expressed that the two-day re-
action had acted as fairly good
corrective" of the lengthy upswing
to new highs since last November.
A few low-priced shares helped
the days turnover. Continental
Motors, opened on a black of 10000
shares at and eventually registered
a new 1912 top. Chicago & Eastern
Illinois "A" also moved up briskly to
the best level of the year
In front at intervals were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, Southern
Railway, Standard Oil CNew Jer-
sey), Chrysler, American Telephone
Goodyear, United States Rubber
Goodrich, Kennecott, Pullman, Fa-
jardo Sugar, South Puerto Rice
Sugar, Western Union and Consoli-
dated Edison.
On the offside the greater part
of the day were General Motors
Santa Fe, Great Northern. Mont.
gomery Ward, Sears Roebuck, Gen.
eral Electric, Westinghouse, East
man Kodak, j. c. Penney, United
Aircraft, Sperry and United State.
Gypsum.
Bonds were relatively steady ane

SEC Ignores Appeal,
Fixes Ratio for
Securities Dealers
Capitol Requirements
Rule Is Adopted by
Commission
By the Associated Press.

0S Inc AASOClkbeQ P1eBS,
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2o.-Disre-
garding an appeal of the National
Association Of Securities Dealers,
Inc, for self-regulation, the Secur-
tiles and Exchange Commission has
adopted its own rule (X-1503-D
covering minimum capital require
ments for membership In the asso-
citation.
The SEC rule sets up a maximum
ratio of Indebtedness to net capital
of 1000 per cent, whereas the NASD
had proposed a fixed minimum net
capital of 5000 for members deal
ing directly with customers, and
$4,000 for those dealing indirectly
with the public.
The regulation exempts brokers
who do not extend credit, carry
money or securities for customers
accounts, or owe money or securities
to customers except incidentally to
transactions. Delayed delivery Of
securities against full payment Is
not deemed extension Of credit If the
delivery is made within IS days of
the purchase date.
The SEC rule does not become
effective until further order of the
commission, and in any event not
before January l, 1943. ..
The SEC said it had seen . need
for some time to protect customers
against financially unsafe dealers,
and added. ANY standard Of net
capital adjusted to permit small,
honest brokers to remain in business
might be inadequate in the case of
a dealer whose liabilities run into
millions"

REJECTED PROPOSALS

posalS that children from Is to u
ATTENDING college be considered
dependents and that a portion of
the wife's income be allowed as a
credit if both husbands and wives
are employed.
The committee confined to en-
listed men the additional personal
exemption voted by the House
ways and means committee for
men in the armed forces. Under
the House plan the $4,000 a year
admiral or general would have
enioyed the same differential as a
$50 month private.
Exemptions of $1,000 married
and $500 single have been APP
proved for civilians. Enlisted serv-
|icemen will get $500 married
and $3.50 single.
The committee also voted to re-
duce the exemption for dependents
from $500 to $500 and so increased
the revenue yield by S220,000, 900.
That will cost a married man with
two children about $40 if his in

Two Bars Do Their Bits for Boys Over There
BY LINTON ARKLEs

There's little the bars around

Latest schemes are the ones
put over by Irwin Conrad and
Jack Tyson. bar owners. 4,
Tyson watched the boys in the

service and wondered how he
could do something.
So he hit on the idea of get
ting their parents, brothers and
sisters who were patrons Of his
bar at 7140 fireman avenue, to
keep war stamp books in the
place.
He has n board back Of the
bar now, with about 20 stamp
books on it, and every time the
owners come in they buy a few
more stamps from Jack. -.
And Conrad, who runs a place
at 1898 Gratiot, collects the ci-
william hats of his customers who
join up. A large section Of his
back-bar is covered with the 81
hats he has gathered so far.

PAY-As-YoU-EARN PLAN

The committee also expects tc
receive a report from its subcom'

'mittee agreed yesterday TO adopt
the plan offered by Beardsley
IRe4tiiH444ll, chairman Of the New York
Federal Reserve Bank. TO write off

.mentS TO 1912 taxes.
The treasury criticized il and
proposed a modification which
would forgive only 1941 normal
taxes and surfaces on the first
s., 900 Of net income. Taxes on sur
tax net income in excess of $1,000
would still have to be paid along
with 1912 taxes.
The treasury stand on relief to
debt-ridden taxpayers is:
MANY individuals are finding
ID difficult, II not impossible, to
continue amortizing the mort
cages on their homes, or to
maintain premium payments on
life insurance and endowment
contracts, or perhaps even pay
ments on instalment purchase of
automobiles or refrigerators.
CLAIM TO RELIEF
San individual who commit

rates OF the war period and who
owns virtually no other market

reflector the time being at
least--from one or the other OF
his obligations.

.mittee had voted yesterday tc
grant an individual income tax de.
duction for extraordinary medica
expenses. The deduction will bt

sonal exemptions-but in no case

Co-Defendants Held
Liable for Half Of
in Suits
Court Of Appeals
Reverses Opinion
In Force IS Years

Reversing an opinion Of its own
court of more than IS years stand
ing, the Court of Appeals today laid
down the principle that in the Dis
trict q defendant who pays for dam
ages in a case may legally seek one
half Of the payment from his CO.
defendant.
The tribunal reversed and sent
back to District Court a case in
which the latter had denied half
payment to a firm that paid all the
damages arising in q traffic acci-
dent.
David Oisboid's automobile was in
q collision with a Capital Transit
Co. bus and an automobile owned
by Georges Radio, Inc. Mr.. Oisboid
brought suit against both Defend
ants, the transit company and the
radio firm, and won q verdict Of
$3.50, but he demanded that the
radio firm pay the whole damage
and refused to take action against
the transit company.
The radio company then brought
suit against Mr.. Oisboid. against
whom 1t sought an injunction to
prevent him from collecting from 1t
alone; against United States Mar
shall John B. Cofpoys, to restrain
him from levying to satisfy the
judgment, and against the transit
company to make it pay one-half of
the Judgment. This suit the Dis
trict Court dismissed.
