...years over commission-rate revisions without reaching a final decision. The regulatory paralysis has only been increased by President Nixon's delay in appointing an SEC chairman to succeed the procrastinating Hamer Budge, who resigned Dec. 31 to join Investors Diversified Services. The White House has offered the chairmanship to William J. Casey, 57, a Manhattan and Washington tax lawyer who is a partner of Leonard Hall, Republican national chairman during the Eisenhower Administration.

The President re-emphasized that last week on television by declaring: "When I'm the candidate, I run the campaign." Nixon is expected to select an intimate, such as John Mitchell or Robert Finch, as his 1972 campaign director instead of relying on the G.O.P. chairman...
