SEC Finds Nations S Brokers
In Good Financial Condition
RY fha Assacinfad Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. c.-The
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion today announced it found in the
first study ever made of all regis
tered brokers and dealers that 3,276
firms have net capital amounting to
1923 ,S86,714.
Net capital of brokers and dealers
is defined as the excess of total as
sets over total liabilities.
The aggregate indebtedness of the
firms covered totaled $2,590, ,681 ,487,
the SEC said.
Although the SEC did not COM
ment on the significance of the fig
ures, spokesman pointed out that
whereas the rules provide that a
broker dealers Indebtedness can ex-
ceed his net capital by 20 times, the
aggregate Indebtedness reported in
the survey is only three times as
much as net capital reported.
The data contained in the SECS
survey was taken from the most re-
cent reports filed by the Nation S
principal broker dealers. About 81
per cent of the reports were those
filed in the last four months of last
year.
The aggregate Indebtedness con-
sists principally of bank loans and
customers credit balances and does
not include borrowings on exempt
securities such as Government bonds

Stark Reminder

Ten months ago the SubSurface atomic
explosion at Bikini lifted gigantic column
of water more than a mile high. The
water then fell back as lethal rain on
all the target ships within radius of at
least 1000 yards. According to official
findings, this rain, together with the wash
of similarly charged waves, thereupon con-
verted the ships into radioactive stoves;
had there been men aboard, every one
would have been burned-a great number
fatally-by invisible and painless but
deadly radiation"
Today, ten months later, the Navy has
announced that the stoves" still remain
so "hot" as to be unsafe for permanent
occupancy" The danger has been less
ened, of course, but personnel can work
aboard only for strictly limited periods
and with the protection of special safety
measures. Up to now, In short, experts
have failed to develop a decentralization
process effective enough to clean away
the persistent radiation to point remov-
ing all hazard. In the Navy's judgment
this problem-the problem of eliminating
residual radioactivity-is one of the most
AiPSA ooAAe AL piCPoAiiS loi oeohiiS wol-
fare at sea.
But the deadly unseen rays lingering
aboard the Bikini fleet have much more
than naval meaning The fact that
they are still there serves as another stark
reminder of how preternatural is the force
now available to man. The radiation is
but one element making up the force
Other elements include heat and blast
power of an unprecedented and almost
unimaginable character. Moreover, the
terrible significance of all this becomes
clearer when we keep in mind that the
A-weapons of today-fearsome as they
are-probably will be succeeded by far
more fearsome ones tomorrow unless there
is rigid international control.
This is something that profoundly af-
fects not merely navies and armies. 1t
is something that threatens cities every
where, whole nations, the very survival
of civilized humanity. Ten months after
Bikini this fact still seems to leave Russia
unimpressed. Alone among the great
powers 1t is holding back effective atomic
control. 1t can continue to do so only
at the awful risk of forcing an armaments
race that could end, twenty or thirty
years from now, in the virtual death of
the world.

A Rotten Business

A Senate Judiciary subcommittee has
opened up chapter in the official career
of Harold Ickes which smells to high
heaven.
Mr.. Ickes, who yields to no man in the
breast beating school of liberals, found
himself with a problem on his hands back
in the spring of 1945.. Jed Johnson, then a
Representative from Oklahoma, was slash
ing into Interior Department appropria-
tions. If Mr.. Ickes is to be believed, Mr..
johnson was doing this for the highly
improper purpose of coercing the Interior
Department to do his bidding. So Mr.
Ickes who is nothing If not resourceful,
hit upon the idea of enticing Mr.. Johnson
out of Congress with an offer of appoint
ment to the Federal bench. There was, OF
course, the consideration that II Mr.. john
son was not worthy of being Representa-
tive, he was still less worthy OF place
on the judiciary. But Mr.. Ickes, in the
best tradition of his own peculiar brand OF
liberalism, was able to rise above this
obstacle to his scheme. He went to the
late President Roosevelt stated that he did
not consider Mr.. Johnson qualified to serve
on the bench, and then proceeded to per-
suade the President to make the appoint
ment.
That particular deal fell through because
Mr.. Johnson was not ready to leave Con-
gress, and he stayed on until the voters
retired him. Now, however, some one has
induced Mr. Truman to send his name to
the Senate for another judicial post, and
we find MIR. IckeS, recast in the role of
good citizen, virtuously opposing his con-
frmation. .
This is more than an incident which
reflects a disdain amounting to contempt
on the part of all concerned for the proper
place and function of the Federal judi
ciary. 1t is, in fact, as thoroughly rotten
piece of business as has come to light in
many day.

The grownups who lined Constitution

troll parade were well rewarded for COM

fifteen thousand typical American boys
and girls took part in the spectacle. Line
after line of them went by with heads
raised, shoulders squared, feet moving In
a martial rhythm. Over them waved the
Star Spangled Banner and their colorful
school flags Carefully trained bands
played familiar professional music. The
whole pageant was representative of youth

cooperation in the interest of great
