Finley Schaef, a hip-talking Methodist pastor in Greenwich Village: "This is a conscience thing, and that is what the church is concerned about, the conscience...
...cool the speculative fervor. E. F. Hutton & Co. announced that it will forbid its salesmen to solicit orders to buy stocks selling for less than $5 a share and will allow them no commission on such orders. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, the nation's largest securities concern, said it plans to increase restrictions on margin accounts...
