Strict Regulation Under
Federal Authority Is
Threatened
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26— (U.PJ—
The securities and exchange com-
mission may give the nation's stock
markets at least six months to
carry out the reforms demanded
by William O. Douglas, SEC
chairman, Informed sources said
today.
If the exchanges fall to take
“progressive action" by next June,
according to these sources, the
commission will impose the alter-
native of Douglas' ultimatum —
strict regulation by the SEC under
authority granted by the securi-
ties exchange act of 1934.
It was learned that the com-
mission considered delaying drastic
action until after May when the
New York stock exchange elects
its officers. It was considered
possible that a reorganization pro-
gram drafted by exchange officials
—one that would meet SEC ap-
proval-might be pVesented to the

Negotiations Falter
The New York stock exchange
proposed a reorganization plan to
the SEC about six weeks ago but
negotiations broke down because
of commission disapproval of the
proposals.
Another factor which may delay
any immediate action is that the
SEC's latest study of means to
segregate the functions of brokers
and dealers is far from complete.
A dealer is a person engaged in
the business of buying and selling
securities for his own account. A
broker is a person engaged in ef-
fecting transactions in securities
for the account of others.
Functions Combined
A great majority of exchange
members combine the functions of
both brokers and dealers.
Segregation, it was believed, prob-
ably will be the spearhead of the
SEC’s campaign to elinimulc what
it terms artificial influences

Congress To Get Message
Urging Legislation To
Bolster Trade
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—(/P\—■
President Roosevelt said today he
wanted tax revision as soon as con-
gress is ready to go ahead with it.
As further moves to restore con-
fidence and stimulate industry the
president told his press conference
he would send a message to con-
gress Monday recommending legis-
lation to spur private financing
of a large scale housing program,
and another Tuesday proposing
curtailment in the annual approp-
riations for federal aid ln road
building.
A fourth step, Mr. Roosevelt dis-
closed. Involves a presidential let-
ter to the department heads to
anticipate federal purchases of sup-
plies for the remaining seven
months of the current fiscal year
and to speed these up instead of
spreading them over until June 30.
Refers To Earlier Message
Asked if he favored tax revision
as an aid to business or at the
regular session starting in January,
the president joked with his ques-
tioner and asked if he had been
reading newspapers. Mr. Roosevelt
advised reading his message to the
special session which he said made
very clear that tax revision was de-
sired.
In other words, he added, lie
wanted tax changes when con-
gress had them ready to be made.
With a smile, however, he said
he did not want to fly in the fuce
of critical editorials of the past
which warned against undigested
legislation—that is, the White
House Just handing ln bills to a
rubber stamp congress.
Discussion Invited
He emphasized all legislation
should be considered thoroughly.
The reduction ln federal aid
highway appropriations recalled
Secretary Henry Morgenthau's re-
cent speech ln which he listed tills
item as well as relief and farm
aids as possible outlays that could
be cut to help balance the budget.
