...report to Congress, recommendations for a regulatory law, doubtless a permanent bureau staffed by SEC lawyers and accountants. One of SEC's aims is to prevent capture of one investment company by another (especially when the capture is financed with the captured company's assets), with disregard of minority stockholder's interests...
...margin accounts in the metropolitan area were custodians of free cash balances of $245,562,000 belonging to customers.

Unity leaders were alarmed to hear that Homer Martin had agreed to further restrictions on G.M. grievance committees, which even last year functioned none too smoothly, but their chief complaint is Martin's disregard of democratic procedure, typified for them by his failure to submit the G. M. supplementary agreement to the membership for ratification. Last week, though Unity leaders disclaimed any part in it, evidence was accumulating of a drive to oust Martin before the U. A.
