Federal Reserve cuts cash margin to boost stock buying
The Federal Reserve board cut cash margin requirements from 75 to 50 percent to allow a $750 cash investor to buy $1,500 in securities, borrowing half from a broker. Seen as a tentative easing amid deflation fears, the move follows March relaxations on consumer credit and signals a cautious stance against large administration tax and spending plans. The order takes effect tomorrow and is reported as an independent action by the Fed, not the White House.

War Risk Seen in Atlantic Pact at Carroll College
Reader's Digest roving editor Stanley High speaking at Carroll College convocation warned the North Atlantic pact is a highly calculated risk that may lead to war yet could bring peace. He argued Communism and Democracy clash as expansionist doctrines, with freedom contagious and communism needing expansion. High outlined stages of Russian expansion and said the pact might trigger aggression, though Russia is not yet prepared for war. He cited U.S. technical know-how, U.S. resolve, and active efforts to spread freedom as hope for peace.

House Comes to Gissal Whenever He Needs One
Lannon tavern keeper Louis Gissal moves a one story five room Milwaukee house to his Highway W property, a 15 mile haul that cost 275 dollars. With a crew including Richard Reder and family, the building was lifted, loaded, and moved in a day, then set to sit 25 feet from a new basement. It mirrors a prior 1942 move of a ten room house from Willow Springs to the same vicinity, proving moving is cheaper than building.
