THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SHARPER TEETH FOR 'BLUE SKY' LAW PROPOSED . Registration of All Security Dealers Provided For in Measure. Strengthening of the State Secur- | ities Act through registration of all securities dealers, whether they buy and sell exempt or nbn-exempt securities. is provided in a pending House bill introduced by Rep. F. G. Thompson <D.. BlufTton). The measure has the approval of State Securities Commissioner Chesi ter R. Montgomery and has been sought to bolster Indiana's "blue sky” law through dealer registration and license revocation powers. ‘ The measure will aid in halting ‘stock-switching’ in the state,” Mr. Montgomery says. He pointed out that unsavory investing nt houses could be watched with more diligence as the bill requires semi-annual reports from dealers and further permits the securities commissioner to examine the books of firms suspected of law violation. The measure will make the securities bureau self-supporting by raising license fees from $25 to $75. Mr. Montgomery declared the added revenue from dealers’ licenses will enable his department to keep a field man at work at all times on investigations of bad business practices. Proposed amendments call for a county jail or state penal farm sentence up to one year in addition to the present act’s 1 to 5 year state prison sentence. Cash fines are changed to SSOO in lieu of the jail sentence or a maximum fine of S2OOO in lieu of the prison sentence. Book Rental Bill A bill authorizing local school units to establish a textbook rental system was passed yesterday in the Senate. It would allow a school board to buy books and rent them at a rate of not more than 25 per cent of the retail price. Pari-Mutuel Report Due Fate of Indiana pari-mutuel betting bills may be determined today when the House of Representatives submits a divided report on a bill to legalize betting at all races. The ways and means committee will submit a majority report recommending indefinite postponment. A minority report will urge passage, thus bringing the measure to a floor vote. Pollution Bill Advances The administration stream pollution bill, already approved by the House of Representatives, was received by the Senate late yesterday from the Resources Committee. It will be eligible for passage Thur.sday, unless, meanwhile, amendments j are offered. TECH GROUP TO MEET Social Science Club to Elect Officers for Semester. Members of the Social Science Club at Technical High School will meet tomorrow afternoon at the school for a program entitled, "Getting Acquainted With the Out-of-the-Way Places.” Officers for the new semester will be elected, included on the program will be Malcolm Conder, Lorita Kasting, Louise Plummer, Felix Masarachia, Alice Cleveland and Lawrence Sweeney.

•BACK HOME AGAIN’ IS HEZE CLARK’S CAR: HIS COLUMN DID IT

Heze Clark, police reporter for The Indianapolis Times, has his stolen automobile back today because people read the "Gone But Not Forgotten’’ column which Heze compiles daily for The Times. The auto was stolen Monday morning from the Clark garage at 2005 N. Delaware-st. Last night a young man rang the Clark doorbell and told Mrs. Clark that her husband's auto was parked at 10th and Meridian-sts. "I know> it’s Heze's car, because I checked the number published in the 'Gone But Not Forgotten’ column,” the young man said. The column, an exclusive feature of The Times, lists daily all stolen cars and all returns of stolen cars. Lieut. Dan Scanlon had the auto taken to the Plaza Garage until Heze could have an opportunity to examine it today.
