Open Fight Staged With Stock Exchanges

NEW YORK UPI — The over-the-counter segment of the securities trading industry is fighting back openly against any impression that the stock exchanges are going to take over dealings in all the big stocks not now on their lists. Amendments passed earlier this year to the Securities and Exchange Act provided that most corporations whose stocks are traded publicly over the counter must make approximately the same kind of financial disclosures as are made by those w*hose securities are listed on exchanges. Growth figures published by the principal exchanges here, the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange. indicate that the disclosure legislation may have been instrumental in persuading some companies to go to a “listed” status. But in an address at the 31st annual convention of the National Security Traders Association at Coronado. Calif., Alfredo F. Tisch. president, said that the OTC is not only the

world’s largest securities market. but also has been the fastest growing over a period ol years. Tisch, of Carl M. Loeb. Rhoades- & C<5., New York, said there was no reason to believe it will not continue to show the growth of the national economy. He said he felt “the disclosure legislation is no mandate to list.” Representatives of 33 affiliated regional associations attended the conference. As it got underway, the National Association of Securities Dealers, in an action announced at Washington was circulating to its 4,100 members a set of “guidelines on fair dealing with customers.” The NASD is the supervisory body for over-the-counter traderfs. under SEC guidance. The SEC had urged the NASD to set up guidelines, along the pattern outlined by a special study group in a report to Congress last year on securities industry practices. It took five months of discussions to work them out.
