Attacks SEC Motives
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. /,

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IA
(AP). - Charges of Govern
ment by blackmail" and reg
ulation through extortion" were
hurled at the Securities and
Exchange Commission at a
hearing to determine whether
the 100-year-old San Francisco
Mining Exchange should be
closed.
Gardner johnson, attorney
for the little exchange, made
the charges on Wednesday.
SEC Hearing Officer James G.
Ewell Immediately ordered them
stricken from the record. Mr..
Ewell said Mr.. Johnson's state
have what amounts to
a criminal flavor"
Mr.. johnson made his attack
on the SEC after reading a copy
of a letter dated Juned 20,
1862, signed by Philip A. Loomis,
jr., director of the SEC Division
of Trading and Exchanges, in
Washington. The letter was adj
dressed to the commissions
regional administrator, Arthur
E. Pennekampt, and delivered
to the Mining Exchange board
of governors Is days before
the SEC initiated its proceed
ings. Mr.. johnson quoted from
1t:
II suggest that you arrange
an appointment with the board
of governors of the exchange
and then advise them, in eff
feet, that the staff of the COM
mission has made a study Of
the San Francisco Mining Ex-
change, as a result Of which we
have reached a firm conclusion
that its registration as a ma
tional securities exchange must
be terminated"
The SEC case against the
exchange charges it with re-
peated violation of laws and
regulations that protect the
and failure to take APP
propriate disciplinary action
against Grant members.

Stocks Mixed,
Douglas Dips;
Trading Slack

NEW YORK, Dec. IA (AP).-
Weakness in Douglas Aircraft
was the big feature in a mixed
and sluggish stock market early
this afternoon.
Douglas was down more than
2 points as its important Sky
bolt missile program seemed in
further jeopardy. A British
newspaper reported that Brit
ain has accepted a United
States plan to junk the Sky
bolt and take in its place po-
laris missiles for British-built
nuclear submarines.
Fractional changes we're the
rule for most other stocks
throughout the list, even the
volatile glamour" issues which
usually outpace the rest of the
market either up or down.
President Kennedy's sched-
uled address to the Economic
Club of New York tonight was
one unknown factor overhang-
ing the market, although most
Wall Streeters believed that it
would be a bullish speech en-
phasizing the need for tax cuts.
Steels, Aerospace stocks, rails
and tobaccos were among the
losers. Electrical equipments
and utilities were steady on
balance. Motors. oils and cleo
tronics we're mixed.
The newspaper strike in New
York and cold weather were
factors cited for the indiffer-
ent performance of the stock
market. At the same time, a
period of consolidation after
the rise of the previous six
weeks was looked for.
Douglas opened late on a
succession Of blocks, falling
17s to 2734, recovered tenn
porarily, then stretched its loss
beyond 2 points.
Prices were mixed on the
American Stock Exchange in
moderate trading.
Corporate bonds were mixed.
