FEDERAL RESERVE
UPS MARGIN RATE

WASHINGTON, July 3.-lR-The
Federal Reserve Board took two
major steps today to reduce loans
in the Stock Market and thereby
cut down on speculation:
1. It raised the margin require
ments from so to rs per cent, the
highest ever. The change, effec-
tive July 5, will reduce the size
of new loans to finance purchases
of Stock Exchange securities. 1t
means that when person buys
stocks on credit, he must put up
a margin or rs per cent and can
borrow only IS per cent from his
banker or broker.
2. The board announced another
change, effective July 1e, designed
to squeeze some of the existing
credit out of the market. If per-
son holds several securities in
single account. and sells some OF
them. he must use the proceeds
to bring the margin on the re-
naming securities up TO Is per cent.
The Federal Reserve Board has
often said that raising margin re-
ouirements would not eliminate
speculation because it would not
affect cash sales and cash is the
important factor in the rising
market.
A spokesman repeated this to-
night but said it is hoped that the
new regulations will have some
effect" as a quoting influence.
The last change in margin re-
ouirements was in February when
thew were raised from 40 to so
per cent. Prior to that they were
at 40 per cent for more than seven
years.

PRESIDENT CUTS
FEDERAL HOURS

WASHINGTON, July 3 - tR -
President Truman today ordered
most government agencies to cut
their work week to A hours, ef-
fective Immediately.
His memorandum excluded the
War and Navy Departments, The
Treasury, the Veterans Admins
tration, the Tennessee Vale y
Authority and the Panama Canal.
All other government agencies
were ordered to cut hours from
the 48-hour six-day week they have
maintained through the war. Even
in the case of the six departments
excluded the President said they
should examine their operations
and 60 on a 44-hour week wherever
possible.
In a memorandum to the heads
of the executive departments and
agencies, Mr.. Truman said:
ut should be clearly understood
that reduction in hours of work are
not to constitute basis for request
for additional funds for person
nell"
The Presidents action means
that hundreds of thousands OF
Federal workers will receive small
err pay checks than they otherwise
would get. However, President Tru-
man on Saturday signed a bill
granting basic pay raises aver
aging 1879 per cent to l,22o,ooo
federal employees.
Approximately 500 u. S. govern
ment employees in the Wilmington
area will be affected by the Presi'
dents order, according to reliable
source. This figure does not how.
ever, include Army and Navy en-
ployes. If these departments also
go on a A hour week in this
district, about 1000 workers in the
Wilmington area will have their
work week shortened to "A hours,
it was stated.
AS the customs collection is part
of the Treasury Department it is

! memorandum.
Martin H. Rawlyns, deputy col
lector of customs for the Port o.
Wilmington, was the only fedora
government office head here avail
able last night for comment on the
new hours.
Rawlyns said that he had receiv
ed no official word of the work
week change, but added that if il
did go into effect, about only sever
or eight employees in his district
would be effected.

BUSHFIELD PICKS
HOLES IN TREATY

WASHINGTON, July s. lR -
The first voice attacking the Unit
ed Nations Security Charter was
heard in the Senate today when
Harlan J. Busnfield, R., S. D., said
that, while he will support the
treaty, he had found six specific
faults in it.
In full-dress speech. just a day
after President Truman urged the
Senate to give prompt approval to
the Charter, Bushfield did not say
whether he would seek to amend
the document but he listed what he
called these specific faults:
l. 1t delegates power which we
have no authority to delegate to
the Security Council to declare war.
2. It places our. sovereignty in
the hands of foreigners because we
have only one vote out of neces-
sary vote of seven. Such a propo-
SAL" he said, is in direct viola
ton of the Constitution and, I'M
less corrected now, 1--WE are head
ed for trouble ~
3. 1t seeks by implication to del
egate power to the American mem
Der of the Security Council to vote
us into war without reference to
congress. This power must be
strictly defined and limited by
statute to Congressional approval
on each specific case
4. It gives the Security Council
power to regulate the size and kind
of our ornaments for national de-
tense, a power which Congress
alone should possess.
5. 1t destroys the M mr. e
Doctrine, which Is the only fixed
foreign policy of the United States,
and relinquishes that foreign policy
to foreign nations council.
6. 1t scuttles the Pan-American
Union which the United States has
spent half a century building and
makes that policy subject to ap-
proval of the European and Asiatic
Nations.
Nevertheless, Bushfield gave the
Charter this general approval:
''In spite of its faults, this pro-
posed treaty has many points
worthy of approval. 1t is an ex-
preston of mans hope that we stop
war. 1t may fail as all such plans

GUAM, Wednesday, July A.
R-Four fleets of B-29s, total
ing between $50 and 500 planes,
struck four target cities on
Honshu and Shikoku Islands of
Japan with nearly 5000 tons of
firebombs in predawn darkness
today.
The mission brought to 2,4O0 the
total number of sorties flown by
planes of the 21st Bomber Com.
mand against Japan in nine days.
Three cities in Shikoku - Toku.
shima, Takamatsu and Kochi -
were hit with firebombs for the
first time.
The fourth city attacked was
Himeji, on Honshu. across the In.
land Sea from Shikoku.
TWenty-six Japanese industrial
cities now have been fire-blitzed by
the Superforts, which have made
81 incendiary missions from the
Marianas.
In the.r unique campaign to wipe
out the enemy's war industries,
Maj. Gen. Curtis E. Lemay's
bombers are using newly developed
American incendiary missiles. They
are seeking out frantically dis.
persed war plants in cities which
Americans never heard of before
the B-29s started blasting the Nip
ponese homeland.
The Kurashiki aircraft plant
converted from a spinning mill
at Takamatsu appeared to be the
most important military target il
this mornings detectives. Ia, a
matsu is Shikoku's leading port city
and the terminus of railroad ferry
service connecting with Honshu.
The railroad ferry terminal with
its repair shops constituted {
prime target in the effort to furtke1
construct Japanese transportation.
Takamatsu also has a small iror
works, a minor seaplane base ane
scattered spinning mills.
KOCH is major industrial ane
commercial center on Southern
Shikoku. Its industries includ,
paper and textile mills now con
verted to war production. Otne
large industries around the cit,
include plyWood plant, meta
working plant and cement ant
and chemical works.
