Bottoroff Promises Closer Controls Over Securities

John Bottoroff — Indiana's a 28-year-old secretary of state who promises to head the Democratic ticket in 1966 — told an audience of about 200 Democratic faithfuls last night that he planned a much tighter control of securities brokers in the state than has been the practice in the past. t

He spoke at the Westminster hotel at Winona Lake at a meeting sponsored by the Warsaw city Democratic committee. Promises Controls He said. “When I came to office we had two attorneys, two secretaries and two part time investigators to handle all securities investigations." Following the Dobich securities scandhls. I asked Governor Bramgin and the budget bureau for $33,000 to hire two public accountants and other assistance to clean up the securities mess 1 found when 1 came to office " . Bottonoft office is requiring all securities salesmen to take an examination. and “before the snow flies they will take a second exam." He said the Dobich scandal fleeced 579 .Hoosiers out of nearly $2.5 million dollars. Object of 'Smear* He said this was what the “smear” campaign against him in Indianapolis newspapers was all about. He said he intended to clean up the sectaities mess in Indiana, and these ; men have tried to make capital out of the fact that he has accepted campaign money for his 1966 campaign for re-election. He said Charles. Hendricks. now state chairman of the Republican party, also accepted campaign contributions when he was secretary of state, but nothing ever came of that.

' “If I am guilty erf anything, it is i for running for public office,” Bot- • toroff’said, “and when the day comes that Americans can’t run for public office without being afraid of public r ridicule, this will be a sad day tor America.” ; Bottoroff, a native of Jackson ’ county and a former school teacher, has a Kennedyesque flair for public . speaking, a trait , that obviously was . of great help in catapulting him to . one of the state’s highest offices. i He was introduced by John Hall, i a Warsaw insurance salesman, who was master of ceremoines for the affair. Hall was introduced by coun'y Democratic chairman Paul Conkle.
