Senator Sparkman and Rep
resentative Rains, both Ala

The moves are regarded as
a protection of domestic lum-

Proposals for broadening trust
powers Of national banks could

is regulated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission,
Chairman William L. Cary Of
the SEC warned today.
Mr.. Cary expressed his con-
Germ in a letter to a group of
commercial bankers advising
Controller Of the Currency
James ]. Saxon on proposed
widening Of national banks
trust powers to permit them to
offer self-employed pension
plans under the Smathers-
Keogh Act which became law
last year.
The letter was addressed to
Reese H. Harris, executive vice
president Of the Manufacturers
Hanover Trust Co., who is
chairman Of the Saxon COM
mittee.
Group Asked to Help
The committee has been
asked to assist the controller in
his proposed comprehensive re-
vision Of Regulation 8, relating
to fiduciary powers of national
banks.
Some proposals for the use
of collective investment funds
in connection with self-em-
ployed retirement plans result
ing from the Smathers-Keogh
legislation would involve the is
suance of a security registerable
under the Securities Act of
1893, although a 1910 act ex-
emption would appear to be
available for these plans" Mr..
Cary declared.
However, any contemplated
merchandising Of interests in
other collective investment
funds as investment media,
whether in the form Of a trust
or in the form Of a managing
agency account, as would be
permitted apparently under
proposed revisionS Of Regula-
ton 8, would place national
banks squarely in the conven-
tional investment company
business" he continued.
under these circumstances
there would be both the issu-
ance of a security required to
be registered under the 1888
act and a collective investment
