SEC Revises Proxy
And Reporting Rules
After Survey
Simple Registration
Requirements Also
Are Announced
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 18.-The
Securities and Exchange Commission
yesterday adopted several long
| anticipated revisions of its proxy
rules and simplification Of registra-
ton and reporting requirements.
Revision of the proxy regulations,
adopted after survey of companies
affected by the regulations and based
in part on their comments, include: !:
l. More information on the COM
pensation and dealings of corporate
managers, more information on the
principal occupation of all directors
and resume of the business expe-
rience of new candidates.
2. Regular annual reports to stock
holders to accompany or precede
proxy statements.
More Space for Holders.
3. Stockholders making proposals
for action which are opposed by
management must be given not more
than 100 words in the proxy in which
to state their position, provided the
security holder gives the manage
ment reasonable notice of his inten-
ton.
4. Abolition of the exemption pre-
vlously granted corporations making
proxy solicitations without use of the
mails or interstate commerce.
5. Exemption from the rules for
certain types of solicitations through
newspaper advertisements.
Several revisions proposed by the
SEC staff were not adopted.
The commission said many sug-
gestions received from industry were
adopted in its revision of reporting
forms, including the following:
l. A new general form for regis
tration of commercial and industrial
companies under the Securities Act
OF 1888, permitting the prospectus to
be filled as a principal part OF the
registration statement.
2. A registration statement filed
under the Securities Act becomes
a basic document under the Sim
pllflcation' program so that securi-
ties covered by 1t may be listed on
a stock exchange by filing copies of
the statement.
Schedules Simplified.
3. Omission or abbreviation of Ger
tain schedules in financial state
ments.
4. Skeleton forms may be used by
public utility holding companies in
filing annual reports.
The commission said closed-end
and open-end management invest
ment companies and unit investment
trusts now may file a registration
statement consisting of little more
than prospectus.
Simplification of the registration
and reporting requirements, the
commission said, will result in "con-
siderable saving of paper work" while
preserving for investors "the protec-
ton afforded by the statutes"

CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-Wheat prices
were up almost 2 cents, rye more

Wheat futures were the highest
since 1887, while in the spot market
quotations were the highest in IA
years. Rye and corn were at best
levels in recent months.
Good demand for wheat flour
millers would sell under ceilings and
paucity of wheat supplies due to
producers holding as well as reports
that flour ceilings may be raised

Asks Dismissal
OF Power Probe
Utilities Commission
Defends Rates for
Federal Plant
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. 18.-
The State of Arkansas. through its
Utilities Commission, today sought
dismissal of the Federal Power Com
missions investigation of rates
charged by the Southwest Power
Pool to the Defense Plant Corp. S
Lake Catherine (Ark) aluminium
plant.
The State agency, in surprise
move, late yesterday formally inter-
vened in the investigations hearing
which has been in progress here
since Monday. Chief Trial Exam
liner Frank A. Hampton tentatively
permitted the intervention but said
a final ruling on 1t would have to be
made by the FPC at Washington.
The Utilities Commission declared
that any enforced change in opera
tions of the pool, comprising 10 pri-
vate utilities, might result in a
"hindrance and delay to the war
effort" P. A. Lasley, special counsel
for the State agency, said he
planned to take an active part in the
hearing and introduce witnesses to
support the State contentious.
The intervention brief declared
that the rates charged by the pool
for aluminium plant power over the
life of the contracts would not
amount to more than would be
Sufficient to give the participants in
the pool their cost of operation
and supplying the service, plus taxes
and the amortization of the cost

Opposes Straigt Cut.
As an example, he said he believed
q straight percentage cut in the
average annual amount of fuel oil
consumption would have found
widespread compliance with a mini
mum of complaints.
Instead of that, he said, OPA
pursued its theoretical, logarithm
percentages in the computation for
fuel oil rationing until no one knows
where he is and everybody is ter
rorized by thoughts of freezing"
Similarly. Senator Gillette, DEM
ocrat, of Iowa, said he believed gas
oline rationing in the West, where
the fuel is plentiful, is not worth in
rubber saved the general disruption
of civilian enterprise he said it was
causing, particularly among farmers.
Senator Chavez, Democrat, of
New Mexico, said he believed Con-
gress ought to reclaim some of the
rationing and other powers that
it had given away" to executive
agencies.
Taking cognizance of some of the
criticism, Mr.. Henderson wrote the
President in resigning that nat
urally I'll be available to help my
successor, and regardless of the
date of my termination I shall be
readily available and eager to ex-
plain any and all OPA actions for
which I have been responsible.
Reluctance Expressed.
Mr.. Roosevelt accepted the resig-
nation with great reluctance" and
praised Mr.. Henderson for perform
ing IAN exceedingly difficult and
thankless task" with energy and
unexampled courage"
In his last days in offlce, Mr..
Henderson said he would work on
"stabilization" of the fuel oil and
gasoline rationing programs so that
these may be no more special bur-
Gens to my successor than the 9TH
ers which have had such excellent
community acceptance"
Mr.. Henderson refused any COM

ties than through some Of the drastic
rules imposed by Mr.. Henderson.
Resignation Accepted.
The President accepted Mr.. Hen
derson's resignation last night,
effective upon the appointment
and qualification" Of a new OPA
head.
Senator Brown piloted the price
control bills through the Senate
and was defeated for re-elec-
ton last month. He is ineligible
to serve until the new Congress con-
venes January because he was a
member of the Congress creating
OPA.
The belligerent, stocky, cigar
champing 47-year-old Henderson,
who never bothered to try to in
gratiate himself with his many
critics in Congress, told Mr.. Roose-
welt his resignation was dictated
principally" by "a recurrent physical
difficulty and rather bad impair
ment of my eyesight."
In Baltimore last night for radio
broadcast, Mr.. Henderson said his
'eyesight is getting worse" and re-
marked that "it's bad enough" to
have to sign the complicated, fine
print OPA regulations without hav-
ing to read them too"
He said his doctors had told him
he needed "at least four months" off
for treatment and rest.
Announcement that Mr.. Hender-
son was through at OPA recalled
what he had to say at a press con-
ference last June, when he was
under particularly hot fire from
Congress, and he was asked about
reports that he would resign then.
"I Don't Chew So Easily"
"Over period of years." he said,
"I've only had one working agree
ment with my boss-when I reach
the end of my usefulness I'll say
good-by. I think I'll leave it up to
him on that =. My job is to
resist pressures of all kinds"
Personalities are things merely to
be chewed up and expended like
paper clips and rubber bands" he
added. 1--WE been a little tougher
material-I don't chew so easily"
In accepting his resignation, the
President wrote Mr.. Henderson that
when you are able to return to work
7 shall certainly want your assist
ance in some other capacity"
Mr.. Henderson has long suffered
from a back ailment. His explana-
ton of his resignation principally"
because Of his health, however, in
dicated that other factors also fig
ured in his decision, and many OBJ
servers insisted these included the
health of the administration itself
in view of widespread criticism of
the OPA chief.
Even as Mr.. Henderson's resigna-
tion was announced, Senator VAN
denberg, Republican, of Michigan,
called for substitution of voluntary
controls for many of the price and
