MURDER IN SUNDAY SCHOOL

THE BOMB which blew off the head Of a 14year
old girl and killed three others while attending Sunday
schoolin a church in Birmingham, Alabama, is still re-
sounding throughout the world. The story made the
headlines in capitals everywhere, and the image Of
America took one more step downwards, if that is at all
possible.
IT IS NOTHING short Of a tragedy that a nation.
as great as the United States should have to live with a
Birmingham, or the south, for that matter. STEPPED in
what that section loves to call tradition, the people
have refused to recognize the fact that slavery has long
passed from the earth, and that subjugation Of one group
by another is completely out Of step with world progress.
JUST AS difficult to understand is the resort to
violence perpretrated on innocent children. There have
been over so ~bombings, so that the people in a given
section have named it dynamite hill'. What earthly
purpose can be accomplished by bombing a church, or
killing innocent children, or r~esorting to sheer brutality?
Yet, these are the very people who claim superiority.
Is this sign of superiority?
BUT ONE THING is certain. This situation cannot
continue. Birmingham is a frightened city. It is likely
to explode any minute, and that is why President
Kennedy dispatched a committee whose function is at
least to try establish communication between the races.
THE PEOPLE Of that section will have to realize
that this is a new day; that people want to claim their
place III the sun, and be recognized and accepted as hui
man beings. II is that simple. Nor is there any getting
away from the fact that no proper or effective economic
progress is possible while this situation exists.
IT WILL TAKE time, but in the meantime the Fe-
deral Government will have to take some action to as
sure, at least, the safety and the lives ~ofNcitizens Of that

This Is How the Oyer-the- Counter Market Functions

performs another very impor-
tant function. 1t makes avail
able to investors new issues -
stocks and bonds that here
tofore have had no public mar
ket. This function is known as
underwriting.
When you purchase or sell
stock In the over-the-counteE
market, the mark-up or COM
mission will depend on o num-
Der Of factors: the kind OF
broker you are dealing with (bie
house, small house,: the kind
of security; how widely ii Ii
traded; the size Of the trans
action in dollars (the smaller
the transaction, the larger the
makeup or commission will be
percentagewise). and so on.
The over-the-counter market
while not directly regulated by
the Securities a nd Exchange
Commission. Is self-policed un-
der the general direction Of the
SEC, The policing body Is
known as the National Associ-
alton Of Securities Dealers. This
organization is faced with the
tremendous task Of keeping in
line around 1890 dealers To-
Gated all over the country
When It discovers unethical
practices 1t has the power to
put the guilty dealer out of

that while the NASD publishes
no fixed scale of charges. such
as the NYSE schedule of COM

differ from the markets made
by the exchanges2
The most obvious difference
is that trading on an exchange
is concentrated In one place
the floor. But the approximately
5000 dealers who handle the
over-the-counter business are
spread all over the country
They do their trading by means
Of an intricate network of pri-
vate telephone and teletype
hook-ups. If you put in an
order for an over-the-counter
stock, the order does not 60 to
any central place. Rather, Il
will be shopped around by
phone or teletype to several
dealers, perhaps in different
cities.
There is a difference, too. In
the kind Of security traded. The
New York Stock Exchange
tends to list securities Of large
and well-established compan-
les that appeal to large num-
bers of investors and therefore
are heavily trade. In the over
the counter market you find
almost every kind of security,
