appeared to be orderly and
quiet at the main crossing
points which the refugees have
been using since the big rush
began.
During the "a hours before
the refugee flow stopped, the
number sneaking across the
border dropped drastically, to
fewer than 1000. For days be-
fore between 1000 and 5000

day.
There was speculation that
the Communists were using

Communist loudSpeakerS were
silent today after a full day of
broadcasting exhortations to
the fleeing Chinese to return
to their villages. This nonvio-

Kong officials.
The refugees who were cap
tured by British patrols were
taken to a detention camp for
a meal or two and then hauled
back to the border.
British officials were pleased
at the developments. One Off

MINUTEMAN
Possible Explosion
Of Fuel Is Donqer

The board, headed by Army
Col. Andrew W. Hamilton, is
made up of Army, Navy and
Air Force officers and civilians.
The group is appointed by the
Secretary of the Army, and it
reports to the Secretary of De-
fense through the Secretary of
the Army.
Its authority extends
throughout the entire Defense
Department, and normally its
recommendations on the stor-
ing and maintenance of all
kinds of explosive materials are
binding.
Since no Minuteman has ex-
ploded in its hole, no one can
prove conclusively what are
proper safety standards, in this
case, however. Honest men
can disagree.
The only way to settle the

doubt would be to blow one
up under carefully controlled
conditions and see the effect on

nal action. It was understood
that at least one prosecution
is imminent on the basis of an
SEC referral and action is un-
derway in at least one other
prosecution that arose on di-
rect complaint of a customer
victim.
AS for drafting a law to
regulate the industry here, Mr..
AcheSon said he got into it be-
cause he felt that prosecution
by itself was not an effective
means of regulating a business.
AS a prosecutor, he said, he
felt a more effective role would
be played by his office if there
were an underlying local sys-
tenn of regulation Of the secu-
rites business.
"Basically," he said, my
suggestions are in the direc-
ton Of legislation which would
give the local government pow
er to regulate the conduct of
broker dealers and whic h
would provide a criminal fraud
prosecutive authority similar
to that in the Federal status" /"
Mr.. AcheSon said he had re-
ceived advice from representa-
tives of the SEC, the National
Association of Securities Deal
ers, the legal teaching profess
sion and practicing attorneys.
He said he was now circulat-
ing his considerably adapted
version of the Uniform Securi-
ties Act for the suggestions of
those who advised him in. the
drafting. The same act formed
the basis for legislation now
on the books Of Maryland and
Virginia.
The prosecutor added that
he had sent copies of the draft
to the District Corporation
Counsel's office and added that
he was "very eager to have
their consideration Of these
tentative proposals"
BrOker-Dealer Issue First
"Of course" he said, "any
legislation dealing with the
District which concerns my Of
flee is of equal concern to the
District Commissioners, par
ticularly in a case where some
continuing effort of regulation
would be required of the local
government.

Acheson Would Split
Authority With SEC

ideally, the full range of
regulation contained in the
Uniform Act would be desira-
BILE and appropriate, but I be-
lieve we have to face the real
ity that there are budgetary
problems here which initiate
a g a i-ns a large regulatory
staff.
For this reason, I have
made every effort in my own
proposals to minimize the ad-
ministrative burdens, notably
by eliminating the provisions
of the Uniform Act dealing
with regulation of securities
and concentrating on regula-
tory powers over broker-dealer
conduct.
This is certainly not to say
the problem Of administrative
control over stock issues does
not exist. 1t is only to say that
the more serious problem is
that of broker-dealer abuses,
and that is the target I think
we should address ourselves to
first.
I'VE think that a scheme of
regulation which exacts from
dealers and agents a high
standard of experience, compe-
tence and concern for the Gus
toners would do q lot to pro-
tect investors from issue S
whose origin will not be con-
trolled by the local govern
ment. This doesn't mean there
won't be any control over 10
cally sold issues. The SEC will
continue to have jurisdiction. I"
Proposes Licensing Rules
Mr.. Acheson said when the
preliminary draft has been
pulled apart and put back to-
gether again." he hopes to get
the inter government clear
ances to put the proposals into
the proper channels for action,
His present proposals call for
licenses of broker-dealers and
their statesmen under rules es-
tablished by the commission
ers. A certain amount Of capi-
tai and a bond would be re-
quired before broker dealers
could be licensed.
District officials would be
given authority to suspend IL
censeeS or postpone givin 6
them licenses pending formal
proceedings, so that a firm
could be promptly stoppe d
from hurting the public. That
provision was particularly
mentioned by Mr.. Cary when
he told the House Commerce
subcommittee what a local au-
thority could do that the SEC
cannot do.
J The Acheson draft woult
make violations of the pro.
posed law a felony punished
by heavy penalties, would make

Senate Approves so

a House-pasSed bill to permit

so additional cadets each year.

lated the size of the explosion
under the worst circumstances
to be the equivalent of 10000
to $4,000 pounds of TINT. This,
the Safety Board says, could do
damage more than 1000 feet
from the missile hole.
So the board has advised the
Secretary Of Defense that Min
uteman missiles may not be To-
Gated less than about 1900 feet
from any place where civilians
might be.
Air Force technicians argue
that such an explosion would
equal only about 10000 pounds
of TINT. On this basis the Air
Force has been using a mini
mum safety distance of a little
more than 600 feet.
Start $50 Sites
The Air Force has started
work on $50 Minuteman sites.
(This is the missile which will
form the backbone Of the Amer
ican ICBM force in the '6OsO
Most of the sites are located
much further from civilia n
areas than even the Safety
Boards minimum. They are in
sparSely populated a n hin g
areas for the most part.
All sites are more than 20
miles from any town of more
than 5000 population. This is
the distance considered neces-
sary by the Air Force to mini
mize civilian casualties during
an actual enemy attack on
American missile sites.
But some launching holes are
being built less than 1900 feet
from houses, filling stations,
public roads, railroads and, at
least in some instances, from a
church or school.
About 100 sites do not meet
Safety Board standards at
Whiteman Air Force Base, near
Grand View, Mo-; from seven
to 10 sites exceed the standard
both at Ellsworth AFB, near
Rapid City, S. OAK, and Minot,
AFB, near Minot, N. OAK, and
one site is disputed at Malm-
strom AFB, near Great Falls,
Mont.
The Air Force has been bas-
ing its Minuteman plans on its
own safety standards for some
time, and these plans have been
reviewed repeatedly by many
Defense Department officials.
Call Plans Inadequate
Five weeks ago, however, the
Safety Board finished a routine
check Of the plans. 1t report
ed that the Air Force safety
standards are inadequate and
that the 100-plus sites are dan
gerously close to civilian areas.
Air Force officials reacted
with considerable evaporation.
The job of moving the sites or
condemning and buying more
land would be tremendous and
would delay the vital ICBM
program, they argue. Also, the
Air Force safety calculations
convinced air generals that any
change in plans was unneces-
Sary.
The Safety Board, with its
own experts who have worked
for years in the field of ex-
plosives safety, are equally in
sistent that their own stand
ards are correct.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10 (AP). Stiff and
fairly constant pressure in the grain
futures market this week drove nearly
all prices downward with corn again
hitting a series of season low levels on

The broadest losses generally were in
wheat, where setbacks ran to more than
2 cents on all contracts.
The major market factor probably was
the Government announcement on Tues
day of price supports for this years
crops. The decision to leave corn un-
changed at the $l.20 a bushel national
average and to cut soybeans S cents
to S2.25 came as a surprise to the
trade generally.
At the end of the week, wheat was
2Is-27s cents a bushel lower, March
