URaiNQ OF SEC CHANGES
DISTURBS NEW DEALERS

BOOKLET AUTHORSHIP LAID

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-

elers from Manchoukuo,

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

TOKYO, Aug. 3. (AP) The Jap

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.

Men to whom the administration

he had murdered Dr. James O. Little
field. Dwyer answered "no."
"Did you see him murdered?"
Ingalls asked.
"Yes air, I did."
"Who did murder him?"
"Francis Carroll."
"The respondent at the bar?"
"Tee sir.
Dwyer, sent to prison after confess
ing the murder of Dr. Uttlefleld. was

blame after death threats by Carroll,
whom he described as a "vicious
killer.".

The room was packed with an audi
ence which included Dwyer's former
sweetheart, Barbara Carroll, 18.
daughter of the man on trial.
Dwyer testified Carroll threatened
to -"ruin" him and bis family unless

proper relations between the former
deputy sheriff and his daughter.
Dwyer, under questioning by In
galls. related the Uneventful history
of his small town boyhood and high

Did you become intimate?" Ingalls
asked.
Judge William H. Fisher struck out
his low answer, and explained to the
pallid youth he could answer If he
wished, but did not have to "Incrimi
nate" himself.
Ingalls again asked the question.
"I'd rather not answer that," Dwyer
said.
Dwyer testified Carroll killed the
elderly physician in the bathroom of

there, then I will."
Dwyer testified Carroll followed the
doctor upstairs to the bathroom,
shouting "What do you mean?"
"Just what I said," he said the
doctor replied.
"And then what happened?" asked
Ingalls,
"I heard sounds of a struggle. I
ran up the stairs, grabbing a wrench
and a hammer as I went.
"At the top of the stairs the doctor
waa stooped over, leaning against the
wall, and moaning.
"I tried to hit Carroll with the
wrench but It came apart. Carroll
grabbed the hammer from me and
hit Dr. Llttlefleld with It.
Q. "And then?"
A. "The doctor reeled and fell after
two or three blows."
"I shouted to Carroll, 'You've
killed him," Dwyer said.

EYE KENTUCKIANS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. fp) A
senate Investigator hastened back to
Kentucky today to obtain more facts
about primary campaign tactics which
his superiors called deplorable.
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."
FOREIGN JEWS BARRED
FROM ITALIAN SCHOOLS
ROME. Aug. 8 (AP) The gov
ernment snnounced today all foreign
Jewa would be barred from Italian
schools beginning with the fall term
A communique Issued by the gov
ernment said:
"Beginning with the schola.tlc
year 1938-1938 the admission of for
eign Hebrew students. Including those
residing In Italy, to all Italian schools
of all grades Is prohibited."
At the same time It announced
a new program to Increase the ef
ficiency of the nation's armed forces.
A communique said:
'At recent meetings held by 11
Duce with the minister of finance
and the chief of general staff of war
and air a further program to In
crease the efficiency of our armed
forces was concluded."
It gave no other details.
The ban on Jewish students pre
sumably doss not apply to the 47.000
Jews who are Italian citizens.
The fascist race doctrine issued
July 14 by a group of fascist pro
fessors proclaimed Italians were an
Aryan race and denied that Jews
were members of "the Italian race."
There has been no move, however,
to exclude them from Italian citi
