Revision Of
Constitution

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (AP).-
Steps were taken yesterday to
revise the constitution of the
American Stock Exchange
along lines proposed by a spe-
cial members committee in
vestigating its operations.
Edwin Posner, the exchanges
official nominee for chairman
of the board of governors and
president pro tenn, said he in
structed the exchanges legal
counsel to make the revision.
He was acting on behalf of a
special advisory committee
named by the board to imple-
ment recommendations by the
investigating committee headed
by Gustave L. Levy, a partner
of Goldman Sachs & Co.
A principal change recon-
mended by the Levy committee
called for a "clean slate" elec-
ton of a new board of gover-
nors within As days of revision
of the constitution. Represen-
tation on the 32-man board
would be changed to include
three more member firms and
three fewer individual men,
bers.
Joseph F. Reilly, chairman OF
the board of governors. de-
Tended his conduct in that post
and denied charges made
against him in a Securities &
Exchange Commission report
criticizing the exchange.
Mr.. Reilly "strenuously re-
jected" the SECS linking him
with certain other members
! and the commissions charge
that for the past 10 years he
and those members controlled
the exchange and permitted
laxity in enforcement and
promulgation of rules.
Mr.. Reilly, who will not run
for reelection as chairman in
next months election, said he
promptly made very substan-
tial changes" when he assumed
the post last February.

called for Friday to discuss
various proposals for a merger

ing revenues of SIS billion

The railroad would operate
about 10000 miles of line from

the PRR $2.7 million.
