The United States and the
Dominican Republic resumed
diplomatic relations today.
The step was the latest in
a series of international moves
to return tae island nation to
a normal situation within the
nter-American system as a re-
suit Of internal political
changes.
The United States and other
American countries broke off
formal diplomatic relations
after a decision by Western
Hemisphere foreign ministers
in August, 1860. to impose
sanctions as a result of an
assassination attempt on Pres
ident Romulo Betancourt of
Venezuela.
A year ago the sanctions
were stiffened. They continued
in force for months after the
assassination of the late Do
minican dictator, Generals
simo Rafael Trujillo. His death,
however, opened a period of
political reform in the republic
which led to the present i'm
provement in its international
relations.

SEC Charges
Many Abuses
In Exchange
Annex Is Accused
Of Deficiencies
In Its Standards
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star Staff Writer

~--
The American Stock Ex-
change is under attack by
Federal security investigators
for manifold and prolonged
abuses" of stock market safe
guards.
In a report expected to rock
the financial world, the Ma
tion's No. 2 stock exchange
was accused of a general de-
ficiency of standards and a
fundamental failure of con-
trolls"
At the same time, the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission
was called upon to strengthen
its supervisory role over the
exchange even assuming
maximum achievement in the
exchanges own program of re-
form"
The SEC staff report, made
public late yesterday, was the
product of an investigation
launched last May after the
SEC suspended father-and-
son team of specialists, Jerry
and Gerard F. Re, on charges
of manipulating stock prices
and controlling the flow of
securities into the market.
Immediately after the Re
case, the commission directed
its staff to investigate the
practices related to the conduct
shown in the Re record and the
exchanges policies for protect
ing investors. The inquiry was
broadened by order of Con-
gress to embrace all securities
markets.
The report was prepared
under the direction of Milton
H. Cohen. 1t was delivered to
exchange officials after the
close of trading yesterday.
There was no comment from
exchange officials.
Action Studied
In submitting copies of the
report to officials of the Ameri-
can Stock Exchange, COM
monty called Annex, SEC
Chairman William L. Cary said
the report and the record be-
hind it are being studied by
the commission to determine
what SEC action is required.
The letter of transmittal said
the report raises serious ques-
tionS for the commission and
for the Exchange community
and calls for prompt and Wig
orous action by the Exchange
and its members"
Significantly, the commits
sion said it was making the
report public at this time in
view of proposals for changes
in the organization and ad-
ministration of the exchange
now under consideration and
next months election of a
chairman of the board and 10
governors of the exchange.
One of the many points of
criticism in the report was a
charge that the same people
control the Exchange over the
years.
Controlling Group
Listed as members of the lin
group" were Joseph F. Reilly,
who has agreed to step down
next month as president pro
tenn and chairman of the board
of governors; Charles j. Book
let, vice chairman; James R.
Dyer, chairman of the Finance
Committee, and John j. Mann,
