SEC Seeks to End

tons to make periodic finan.
cial reports or to reveal In.
slider deals or offer full proxy
information.
This is scarcely q minoi
matter. AS Keith Funston
president Of the New York
Stock Exchange, emphasized
in November, 1861, Of around
%. 900 corporations with shares
being traded in the United
States. only about 2.200 are
listed on any exchange and
thus come under the disclosure
provisions Of the 1884 act. OF
the remaining $4,000. about
5000 are widely enough held To
be considered publicly owned"
These 5000 publicly owned
companies are In general under
no obligation TO tell the in
vesting public about their ac-
tivities.
From the viewpoint of the
public interest, there is no
valid reason why an investor
in an unlisted company should
be denied information auto
matically given to an investor
in q listed company. AS q re-
suit of its probe the SEC
apparently has finally caught
up with Mr.. Funston and other
Wall Street leaders on this.
What would happen II Con-
gress does 60 along and does
require basic financial infor-
nation from all publicly held
companies with q specified
total Of stockholders2 What
would happen would be q pow
erful movement by unlisted
companies to List their shares
on one Of the regional stock
exchanges. (Mr. Funston sees
few going on the Big Board be-
cause not many companies not
now listed would qualify for
the NYSE, but he does see "the
smaller. publicly held COM
panies as well suited to listing
on the regional exchanges.")
Benefits Outlined
This would not only mean
that you would get much more
information. 1t also would
mean you'd get better infor-
nation on the price at which
your stock is selling and on the
volume Of daily transactions
1t would provide q strong sur
to more effective self-regula-
ton Of the securities markets,

chinery to police themselves
1t surely would help raise the
standards for securities sales

No one ever has argued con-
vincingly that the double
standard is in the best interest
of the investor-and this ap.
plies particularly to large, i'm
portant companies. The $780,

New 1-Cent Jackson
First Day March y
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

A new one-cent regular
stamp with a portrait of An
drew Jackson will be placed
on sale March % in New
York in connection with the
INTERPEx international
philatelic exhibition.
1t is being issued to replace
the current one-cent w .sh-
ington, since a Washington
portrait is used on the new
scent letter rate stamp.
The Jackson portrait is
from a photograph of a med
al designed by Moritz Furst,
a native of Pressburg, Hun
gary (now Bratislava, Czech
oslovakia).
Furst, a diesinker and en-
graver, came to the United
States in 1907, under the i'm
preston that he had been
hired as chief engraver Of
the United States Mint. He
never got the job, but he did
prepare 80 medals which are
still on sale by the Mint, in
cluding the Jackson Presi-
dental medal on which the
stamp design is based.
The jackson stamp was de-
signed by william K. Schrage
of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. The portrait
was engraved by Richard M.
Bower, the frame, lettering
and numeral by Kenneth C.
Wiram. 1t is being printed in
green on the Cottrell press in
an unlimited order.
The same Jackson design
will be issued in coil form
May 81 at Chicago during the
COMPEX show.
A Scent air mail adhesive
stamp for use on post cards
will be released July IL in
Boston during the conven-
ton Of the American Air
Mail Society.
The bald eagle design Is
identical with that of the g.

Mr.. Heifetz

There's still magic in that
name, even If the most we
hear from Jascha Heifetz
these days is on records. The
old master is with us again,
courtesy of RCA Victor, in
the old Bruch Concerto in G
Minor and the even older
Mozart No. 4 in d major
with the New Symphony Or
chestra of London and NAL
colin Sargent. AS far as we
can hear, Mr.. Heifetz merely
improves with age. To his in
comparable technique, he
seems to have added a
dimension Of warmth and
tenderness. His attacks and
bowing are as sure as ever.
He's still King Jascha.

Associated Press Staff Writer

This is the time Of year
when it's a pleasure to work
indoors in the darkroom
rather than in the cold out
doors. But it's no pleasure
to contend with water spots
and dust which seem to have
a remarkable affinity for
negatives.
Water spots add a visual
blemish to prints which
can't very we'll be fixed.
Dust shows up as tiny spots
on the prints which then
have to be painstakingly
spotted out or retouched
with pencil or paint.
It's a lot easier to elimi-
nate water spots and dust
in advance than to spend
time and trouble afterwards
trying to get rid of its ef-
fects.
List Of Suggestions
Here is a list Of sug-
gestions gathered by Milt
Frier who, as press repre-
sentative for E. Leitz Inc,
travels around the country's
photo departments from
darkroom to darkroom, max
ing notes of useful infor-
nation or helpful innova-
tions.
l. Avoid waterspots on
negatives by using Photoflo
or some other wetting
agent. After washing, simply
dunk your film in the wet
ting agent for one or two
minutes, or as prescribed, be-
fore placing it up to dry.
2. Wipe off excess moisture
before drying. Use a viscose
sponge, place it lightly
against the film surface and
wipe lightly and slowly, front
and back. A brand new
sponge might shed particles,
so test it first. In an emer-
gency, If there is no sponge,
use your first two fingers as
a squeegee. Dip them in wet
ting agent. then run them
down the film, removing the
excess moisture.
8. To help Danish dust, add

Of the new record, we must
add, more's the pity.
Drama and Beauty
Using the simplest of de-
vices-dissonances that fall
easily on the ear, orchestra
ton that is spare but vital
Stravinsky has welded to-
gether a drama Of power and
beauty. But more important
at the moment is that Davis,
who was born in London the
same year Oedipus was get
ting its first performance,
has exploited every detail to
its fullest.
At his command are the
Royal Philharmonic Orches-
ira and Sadler's Wells Mems
Chorus, and an admirable
group Of soloists: Tenor Rom
aid Dowd as Oedipus, Mezzo
Patricia johnson as Jocasta,
Baritone Raimund Herincx
as Creon and the messenger,
Bass Harold Blackburn as
Tiresias and Tenor Alberto
Remedies as the shepherd.
Deft Architecture
If these names are not
well-known, rest assured
they are all highly qualified
for this kind Of music, which
Davis builds, block on block,
with such deft architecture.
All have a firm grip on the
Latin text, which adds so
much to the feeling of age
lessness that pervades the
entire work. Then there is
the narrator, British actor
Sir Ralph Richardson, whose
English interpretations help
set the scenes so wildly.
All in all, a brilliant real
ization Of the kind Of music,
that placed in lesser hands,
could be catastrophe.

CLOSE-UPS AND LONG SHOTS
Darkroom GremIins
Can Be Eliminated

q small vacuum cleaner 70
the darkroom equipment. Use
it weekly over the work ia
bles and ceiling especially
in the corners.
4. Wipe down your enlarg-
er, inside and out, with q
damp cloth or with a special
dust-collecting-cloth Other
wise dust can bounce around
inside every time you rack
the enlarger up and down in
focusing.
5. Double condenser en-
larger systems are especially
dust conscious. Dust on top,
middle or bottom Of the con-
densers is reproduced along
with the negative. And the
smaller the enlarger lens
opening. the sharper the dust
particles appear. Suggestion:
put an opal glass on top Of
the condensers to diffuse the
light a bit. This will also diff
fuse most of the dust images
from the print.
6. Ground your enlarger to
help cut down the building
up Of static electricity which
collects dust. "One fellow"
says Mr.. Frier, has q
grounded wire attached to a
piece of metal near his en-
larger. He touches the mega
tive and negative carrier to
this metal to discharge static
electricity. I don't know If it
really works. But 1t makes
him happy!"
7. There are some mega
tive-wiping cloths on the
photo market which are
lightly impregnated with sill
cone. They don't exactly
make the negatives anti
static so that dust will not
adhere. But they do make it
easier to remove any dust
that might collect by an air
syringe or with a sable brush.
8. Those fortunate enough
to have darkroom air condi-
tioning or an air blower ar
rangement also have a possi-
BILE dust dispenser into the
darkroom.
8. Wipe away hypo drip
pings. Hypo dries UP into
solid particles which add to
the dust menace.

and the arrest Of small fry

In their statement. the COM

tons.
They declared:
The record Of this hearing

woeful lack Of leadership. a lack
of fundamental technical COM
petence and a lack Of desire

ficient effort for its own de-
tense. leaving to the United
States the essential part Of the
burden. Just as In the faraway
days Of 1850 when it alone had
the necessary resources.
And In fact, most Of their
European allies find this situ-
alton convenient where they
can, without other preoccupa-
ton. to attend to their own
affairs"
Insists on Own Role
He said France has decided
to play its own role in the
defense scheme.
That Is the reason why
France wanted to get back con-
troll Of its own forces - land,
naval or air." Mr.. Couve de
Murville said. That is why she
decided on an atomic military
program. In doing this, she has
perhaps upset some Of the fixed
ideas in the Atlantic Alliance.
But she has shown herself as
having a national will, and as
a result is a real ally.
THE day when necessary
changes are made and other
European members Of the al
lance show the same will, then
a reorganization Of the Atlantic
Alliance on durable foundations
will become possible.
Then we will be able to sat-
isfy the legitimate request of
