Change in stock control drafted
Two major relaxations were tentatively drafted into the Fietcher Rayburn stock market control bill today. They would raise margins to 60 percent cash and permit brokers to carry customers until margins fall to 40 percent, and allow exchange members to trade for their own account on a cash basis. The changes aim to appease broker dealers outside New York and speed redrafting before next week. Chairman Fletcher convened hearings, while Eugene Black said he would not testify until after his report is prepared. Roger Babson cautions about a four day work week and high pay, critiquing the word IF.
