CURB ASKS CASH
Follows Stock Exchange In Halting Trade in
‘Penny’ Shares.
"NEW YORK, March 31 (U. P.)— New York Curb exchange governors have voted to halt all margin trading in stocks selling under $5 a share and bonds quoted under 5 per cent of par, effective April 1, the exchange announced today. The Curb ruling followed an identical one announced last week by the New York Stock Exchange, which also will become effective April 1, Under the ruling, all dealings in these low-priced securities must be on a cash ‘basis, although buyers of stocks or bonds before the effective date will be given until June 1 to make full payment. Exchange members and their partners are covered by this ban on margin trading, as well as the general public, but the Curb governors exempted specialists because of their obligation to help maintain orderly markets. The new regulations were adopted by both exchanges to help curb “uninformed” speculation in the socalled “penny stocks.”

WASHINGTON, March 31 (U.P.). —Governor Schricker today opposed abolition of the freight rate differ-

a statement filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission. He declared that Indiana’s for-
merly “thriving and prosperous” pulp In
board plants have mostly disappeared because of production of cheaper board in the south and|, southwest. Indiana’s furniture, limestone and stove industries have also suffered through competition with those areas, he said. Declaring that Indiana desires “no unfair treatment in freight rates imposed upon any of our sister states,” Governor Schricker demanded, however, that “complete justice be given to all with respect to the entire freight rate structure which so definitely affects the economy: of each state.”

Mr. Foy wrote as follows: “Although all segments of the economy of this district have been vitally affected by the war, in none is the change more evident than in manufacturing. In Indianapolis, for instance, the growth of industry within a relatively short time has been phenomenal. Since 1940 industrial employment has increased nearly 150 per cent with a. corresponding increase in value of products. “While the city’s industry is still producing large quantities of essential consumer goods, such as flour, the
great bulk of loeal production is o| comprised of war or essential pro0! ductive equipment. “Very few industries have had to close down entirely and in most cases the conversion to war production has been most successful. This is also true in the smaller cities.”
Regarding manpower in Indianapolis, the report continues: “Manufacturing employment incre -~1 from 50,000 in April, 1940, to ac 1 December, 1942, and is exr to make a further gain of 30 ‘ring 1943. ‘Full utilization of all normal and potential labor supplies in the Indianapolis area is expected to just about satisfy the anticipated demand for this year. To do this it will be necessary to transfer about 15,000 workers from one type of employment to another and to induce some 22,000 additional women to accept employment outside of their homes.

Commerce Department Aid Says Fast Growth of : Industry Here ‘Phenomenal’; Conversion ‘Most Suo- Lg cessful’; House Vacancy Rate Low.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, March 31.—Industrial employment in the Indianapolis area has increased 150 per cent since 1940 - due to war contracts, a department of commerce report dis-

adequate working forces in essential service industries.” That the housing situation also is acute was reported: “A survey conducted by the census bureau during November, 1942, disclosed a gross vacancy of "1.7 per cent. This was equivalent to some 2000 vacant dwelling units, indicating about 1200 rental vacancies. . “A survey conducted by WPA in June, 1941, showed that 48 per cent of existing 4000 vacancies were unfit for use or in need of major re-
been reconditioned during the inter vening period, it is assuined only 700 or 800 of the currently available rental units may be classified as habitable. “FWA reports that as of last De=cember, 1942, there were 615 dwelling units in process of construction
been granted for 315 additional
199 units and priorities expected for possibly 50 per cent of them. There= fore, it is anticipated that new cone struction will provide living space for some 1050 to 1200 families in 1943. “On Dec. 1, 1942, the HOLO opened a large office in Indianapo= lis to take application for conversion of large houses into multiple family units. Under this plan the government expects to lease private homes meeting certain specifications. The November. survey of the census bureau disclosed that in contrast to the low vacancy rate, a large proportion of occupied dwellings had room for additional people. At an average of 3% persons per room, almost 90,000 additional people could be houses in these Indianapolis homes. Householders disclosed 4600 rooms in occupied dwellings availe able for rent. These could house 7200 workers.” ' Legals
