BOOKLET AUTHORSHIP LAID TO MORGAN. STANLEY CO. t UNDERWRITING BY BANKS, MORE MEMBERS URGED MOVE TO INCREASE CONSERVATIVES SEEN ' WASH1NGTON, Aug. 3. Among the fiscal and financial experts of the New Deal, there la a tremendous to do at the moment over a document modestlv entitled "A 1938 Memoran dum Regarding the FederaJ Securities Act of 1933." It carries no author's name, and Is subtitled only "Pre pared for Discussion Purposes." But, except for Its slight air of mystery, It would normally seem an admirably written.- well got-up study of the securities laws, containing recom mendations for Important changes. As It happens, however, the pam phlet was sent to the Securities and Exchange commission as the product of . Morgan, Stanley and company. According to the SEC's New York Informants, the great underwriting house, off-shoot of J. P. Morgan and company, has given the pamphlet a wide circulation In financial circles. The SEC accepts the attribution, and therefore traces to Morgan, Stanley such recent moves toward amend ment of the securities laws as the Investment Bankers association de cision to study the matter. There are two reasons for all the excitement. First, the memorandum recommends, among other things, that banks be permitted to reenter the underwriting field, and that the SEC membership be enlarged to seven or nine. These recommendations are de cidedly daring. And, second, the New Dealers have become to expect political qulesence from Morgan's and Morgan, Stanley. In the old Republican and early New Deal days, J. P. Morgan and com pany was often consulted on steps to be taken by the treasury. But since the great battles of the bank ing, securities and exchange acts, . Morgan's and Morgan, Stanley have tended to their knitting. Thus, the New Dealers have been taken by sur prise. The Morgan. Stanley memorandum, If such It be, Is distinctly moderate In tone. Each of Its ten recommenda- (Contlnued on Page Six.)

Clash With Russians Forces Withdrawals From Chinese Lines PEIPINO, Auk. 3. (AP) Larce-scale north through Manchoukuo and through Inner Mongolia toward outer Mongolia, which It under Soviet protection, were reported today by trav- elers from Manchoukuo, ! They said there were a many as 10 troop trains daily proceeding ' north through Mukden. Most of these soldiers were believed with drawn from Shantung and Shansl provinces in China. Considerable bodies of Japanese troops were entering Inner Mongolia through Kalgan, to the west, they said. Inner Mongolia for some months had been virtually denuded of Jap anese troops, who had partially oc cupied the region, owing to de mands of the north China campaign. During the past few days, how ever, the- travelers said, a steady stream of fighters has been sent by truck 'out of Kalgan toward Udte. which Is on the outer Mongolia bor der on the Kalgan-Urga road. Others were reported to have been sent eastward along the border from Udte while Mongol troops from Jehol province had been sent to line the frontier west of Udte. By J. D. White HUNCHUN, Manchoukuo (near Si berian border), Aug. 3. (AP) Ten sion on the Siberian -Manch'oukuoan border tightened today as the rum ble of cannon In the Cbangkufcng trouble pone carried far beyond the frontier. I arrived tonight In this Manchou kuoan border city In the shadow of Soviet Russia's armed might to find It darkened completely against pos sible air raids. The train on which I traveled also was dark, and through northern Korea there were .lookouts posted in all villages who constantly Bcanned the skies for Soviet planes. Changkufeng, the center of conflict between Japanese and Russians, la a short distance southeast of here and Hunchun residents said can nonading was audible today from 7 a.m. until noon. TOKYO, Aug. 3. (AP) The Jap anese government directed Its sec ond protest In 24 hours to Soviet Russia today, in an effort by diplo macy to end bitter fighting along the - Russian Siberia-Japanese Man choukuo frontier. The fighting still was In progress today between largo forces of well- equlppcd troops, with airplanes and tanks, and It was felt In authorita tive circles the exchange of gun fire marked the first round of the Far East's second unofficial war. A later communique said the bat tle ended at 10 a.m., and the Rus sian troops had retreated some 1500 yards from Japanese positions. A "general lull" prevailed along the border after the battle, the com munique Bald. MOSCOW. Aug. 3. (AP) Soviet Russia threw on Japan's shoulders today the responsibility for further conflict along the Siberian border. Even as she warned of possible "serious consequences" If Japanese 'provocations" continued, there were Indications of her wish to reach a peaceful settlement. A communique Issued by Tnss (of ficial Russian news agency) declared. Since the very beginning of the conflict the Soviet government has declared it Intends only to deTend territory Indisputably belonging to the Soviet Union ..." A newspaper which reliably reflects official opinion recalled the govern ment had Indicated a willingness to redefine the boundary separating Siberia from Japanese Korea and Japanese-protected Manchoukuo. The communique declared red forces remained "exclusively within j the limits of Soviet territory" and i reports of Russian air raids were ' "emphatically refuted by competent 8oviet circles. The communique accused Japanese i militarists of circulating the air raid j reports Mln order to Justify their repeated attacks on Soviet territory and the tremendous losses which they have to bear.

(AP) Men to whom the administration looks for guidance clung today to the conviction the latest Russo-Japanese fighting was likely to conclude In an armed truce. Regardless of pitched battles along the Manchoukuo-Korea-Siberia bor der, well-informed persona stilt are Inclined to view the clash as a local affair destined to be settled locally. Neither Japan, embroiled with China, nor Russia, concerned over European threats and Internal prob lems, desires a general war at this time, In the view of several diploma tic and military experts here. All observers, however, are ready to revise their Judgment quickly if the boundary fighting shows signs of get ting completely beyond control.

Chairman Sheppard (D., Tex.) of the senate campaign expenditures committee said the Investigator would be kept In the state through Satur day's primary election so no matter who won the Democratic senatorial nomination, the senate would have all the facta. Kentucky thus became the second state In which the committee has hinted the election eventually may be contested on the senate floor. The committee last week criticized Tennessee's Democratic primary cam paign, saying the victor might face a contest In the senate on the ground of "excessive expenditures." Whether the Kentucky election might be contested, Sheppard said, depended on what additional Infor mation was gathered by the commit tee's Investigator, H. Ralph Burton. Candidates In the torrid Kentucky primary are Senator Bark Icy. admin istration floor leader, and Gov. A. B. Chandler. The committee, criticizing both sides without mentioning names, said the primary tactics Imperiled "the right of the people to a free and unpolluted ballot."
