INSECT I CMT Jffi msici imiim 50 PerCentof Price Required By New Ruling New York - IUPI) - Wall Strecters today nominated the Federal Reserve Board slash in margin requirements for buying stock as about the best news of 1D62, and found other reason for joy in what the FRB said while taking action. After the close of the Ea.it ern exchanges Monday, the board at Washington an nounced that effective today persons using credit to make an Initial purchase of stocks or a short sale would have to post only 30 per cent of the price in cash instead of the 70 per cent which has been, the case since July 28, 1060. Most Stocks Climb Traders across the nation expected effect of the action to follow the pattern shown on the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange immediately after the announcement. The coast s big securities market was still open when the word came; trading speeded Immediately and most stocks climbed $2 to $2.30, almost as rapidly. In simple terms, what the board action meant was this: Assuming that your credit was good and you wanted to buy a share of stock without paying the full price of it, you today could put up $50 where Monday you would have had to post $70. This is your mar gin. There are requirements to maintain the margin, once you have it, and these were not affected by Monday's board action. Where $350 would have al lowed you to buy five shares of a $100 value stock Mon day, today it would allow you to get seven shares.' Hail Board's Action .

Moscow Radio said "all mankind" protested the spec tacular blast, which Illumi nated the skies for thousands of miles across the Pacific Monday. But Communist China was strangely silent. Peiping Ra dio had not carried a word about the test 24 hours after the explosion. The London Daily Mail de clared editorially that "na tional security . . . com pelled" the United States to go through with the test. The German newspaper Frank furter Allgemeine said the Johnston Island test shot was a "forced countermeasure" to Soviet nuclear tests. 'Hell Bomb In Paradise' In Japan, the only nation to suffer the effects of a nu clear attack, Sankei Shimhun said in a headline, "Hell Bomb Rages in Paradise " "We protest many times against the injustice of the United States," the news paper said. It called the test an "evil deed." "It was a barbaric act against mankind." said Dr. Masatsuka Miyaji, chief of the Tokyo Astronomical Ob servatory ". . .

"If we are to pass on to our children and grandchildren the fruits of America's great experiment in self govern ment, everyone must do his part. It is almost inconceiva ble that some should consider service on school boards, city councils, public committees; membership in political clubs, and even voting as a burden some chore, when most of the people of the world do not have the right to do so," Duncan said. "Perhaps the time has come when we should strike the expression of 'right and privi lege to register and vote,' and substitute therefore, 'the duty and obligation to vote.'
