Under the heading, "Crime, Price of Progress" in TIME, July 22, you record the story of two Negroes with frosted feet. There is the usual lack of insight in this story and the usual appeal to sentiment for the poor abused criminal. Both courts and publicists seem to have entirely overlooked the true philosophy and the correct attitude towards this class of criminal. To begin with, causation: I have had under my care in the past year three of these Negro types. All had frosted toes. This condition depending not on exposure so much as on the syphilitic disease...

Only on Representative Brewster's assurance that he could & would prevent Republican suits and force...

SEC's chief difficulty in policing the borders of the legitimate securities business is its lack of control of over-the-counter markets, a vast and undefined realm composed of perhaps 8,000 dealers. Congress provided SEC with powers to regulate over-the-counter by "such rules & regulations as the Commission may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest." Just what would be necessary or appropriate no one knew, and Commissioner Landis and his researchers have been groping diligently ever since. SEC's first step was a census: all dealers must be registered...
