that in London and other world cap-

mentioned in the same breath.
The state department, however,
held to the strict silence it has maln-

nine days ago. In this deliberate
silence, the best informed observers

WASHINGTON, April 25.—(—
The House Interstate Commerce
committee today approved the Flet-
cher-Rayburn stock market regula-
tion bill.
The committee action was without
a dissenting vote, after a motion to
create a commission of five to ad-
minister the regulations .was defeat-
ed.
Chairman Raybum (D-Tex) said
he panned to bring* the bill before
the House Monday.
The House bill differs frqm the
Senate measure previously reported
favorably by the Senate Banking
committee. It provides a 45 per
cent marginal requirement on se-
curities while the Senate bill leaves
margins up to the Federal Reserve
Board.
The House BII provides that the
Federal Trade Commission regulate
stock exchanges and the Reserve
Board, credit. The Senate bill creat-
es a separate commission of five to
administer the stock market regula-
tion bill as well as the securities
act of 1933.
The House bill would increase the
personnel of the trade commission
from flvq to seven.
It was strongly indicated that
when the bill gets to the Senate the
provision for a separate commission
will be adopted. ,

The appeal asked authority to im-
pose the new rates immediately.
The change would place a pries at
$1.75 on the first 1,000 cubic feet
at gas to domestic consumers, and
would then be graduated down to as
low as 45 cents per 1.000 if the con-
turner used over 25,000 cubic feet.

body on appeal, that the change
would slightly Increase summer bills
and slightly lower winter bills
The Denton commissioners re-
fused the rate, after a lengthy dis-
cussion at a session when they fig-
ured that the change would mean
a heavy Increase to the average
consumer.
The commission also refused to
take any action on rates until the
city's present case before the rail-
road body to uphold the ordinance

der Injunction—is acted on.
The Thursday request at Austin
also seeks a rate hike in Waco.
