An investor with a restricted account would have to use half the proceeds of any sale from that account to pay off part of his margin loan. At present, he earmark only 10 per cent for this.

NEW REQUIREMENTS The new requirements also would apply when an investor withdraws securities from restricted account and uses them as collateral for a loan. He now takes out the stocks and deposits in the account cash amounting to 10 per cent of their market value. The board plans to increase the required deposit to 50 per cent. Similar regulations would be imposed on withdrawals or substitutions of securities used as collateral for a loan which is restricted because the equity in the collateral doesn't meet current requirements. The board also wants to plug a number of other loopholes in market credit rules.

It is proposing repeal of a provision that permits a broker to arrange bank loans for customers on terms more favorable than he would offer. Still other proposals would require banks to get stronger statements from borrowers as to purpose of a loan, provide for reports on market credit from certain non-bank lenders and specifying situations in which loans sidered to be indirectly secured by stock.

From the computers' vast storehouses of knowledge, commanders around the country can glean the air defense picture in order to evaluate a tactical situation in the event of an enemy attack. SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) is a network of digital computer equipped direction centers, with interconnecting communications, for processing radar data and other information and for generating battle orders. But despite SAGE's marvels, Maj. Gen John D. Stevenson, commander of the Central Air Defense Force, says: "Man best all computer known.

It's still the man who counts and not the button." The school for SAGE operators- officers and this enlisted men established January, and already has turned out its first class. Air Force and Army personnel from all sections of the nation are trained at the school by educators from the Air Training Command. Upon completion of the specialized training course, the men are signed to other SAGE centers. Army personnel are given training in the use of the NIKE antiaircraft missile in the SAGE system. The highest ranking student of the first class, Lt.

Col. John Allbritton, of the Detroit air defense sector, was impressed with the "tremendous responsibility of the airman in performing properly his role in the SAGE "Each airman has at his fingertips a vital function," he observed. Another student, A-1C Raymond H. Turcotte, Lowell, commented: "Through my SAGE training, I have realized the importance of teamwork in accomplishing the air defense mission." He will serve as a manual data technician, recording, processing, verifying and reading into the computer air surveilance, weather and other information received via teletype and telephone.

Everyone Waves As Peron Rides His Scooter In Dictator Land By WARD CANNEL NEA Staff Correspondent CIUDAD TRUJILLO (NEA) Guess who was down at the movie house the other night? Juan Peron. You remember him. Used to be the proprietor Argentina in the good old days of free enterprise. But those days are over and Peron lives in the Dominican Republic now.

So does Fulgencio Batista, who used to Cuba. But while Fumo right thinking American likes dictators, or even former dictators, you have to admit they have to live some place. And it might just as well be Ciudad Trujillo where the weather 1S warm and the movie program changes daily. Now don't get the idea that the retired dictators are always underI foot and getting in the way. They know their place, and usually sit in the back of the theater so as not to impair the view of the screen.

After the show when everybody stands around talking about things it is quite easy to strike up a conversation with Peron. That is, it would be easy if only he understood Spanish when it is spoken correctly. But he doesn't. Neither does anybody else in this part of the world. They keep bringing beer or goats whey when you ask for ash trays.

It makes smoking doubly expensive. Consequently, I talked with a pleasant, English-speaking fellow named Americo Barrios who is Peron's private secretary and companion. In the old days, when Peron was called "General," when Peron was called "Jefe," Barrios was an editor. It is only in the climate that an old newspaperman can retire to luxury after backing the wrong man in politics. Anyway, Barrios suggested moving the conversation to Peron's mansion on the city's outskirts.

It's very easy to find if you can find a cab driver who understands Spanish when is properly spoken. Otherwise it takes 18 hours. The next afternoon Barrios greeted me at the gates of the estate, which looks like a country club and is the property of young Rafael Trujillo. It has a wonderful of the Caribbean and is protected from passing cows and chickens by an adobe wall. "Mr.

Peron is very happy here," Barrios said. "Almost everyone in Ciudad Trujillo knows him by sight. He has become a familiar figure riding along the beautiful boulevards on his motor scooter." (He smiles, but of course he canwith real understanding the wave, hero, tell, me man and the machine.) "He spends most of his days ters," platters said. Political, not writing on matcare to say to whom the letters were sent. "From time to time he confers with Generalissimo Trujillo who is one of the wisest men in the world and certainly a master at politics and statesmanship.

has no interest in seeing Batista. "But he never sees Batista. He Batista has made enemies without any cause." Nobody in the Dominican Republuc, it seems, likes Batista. As result, he keeps to himself and never even writes political advice or goes to the movies. But of all the goodness that has overflowed Juan Peron in retirement, Barrios said, the happiest shower is the news from Argentina, where things are not going so well without Peron it only the Argentinians would rea- Portage.

A young man answering to his description was later sighted briefly walking along the county farm road north of Pass Christian. Allen also led officers on a merry chase in April 1958 during an intensive investigation of a series of house break-ins which left a trail from Pass Christian to d'Iberville. He was finally nabbed by sheriff's deputies on a country road north of d'Iberville on April 6, 1958. Armed with a stolen pistol and a hunting knife, the slender, bearded young man offered no resistance when arrested. Officers said, however, he mi might prove dangerous if cornered.

Allen was later committed to a state mental institution for examination but escaped. He was re-arrested in Pass Christian on July 7, 1958, and was re-committed to the institution on July 29, 1958. Pass Christian police said the mild looking Allen was reportedly about released from the institution a month ago. Sheriff Wittmann today urged rural residents to promptly report to the sheriff's office should they see anyone answering Allen's de- "There is trouble and upset. There is disorder.

They will have to learn what they have given up. "As you can see," Barrios said, waving a deposed but still magisterial hand over the borrowed egtate, "there are only gardeners here. No guards. No rifles. No bayonets.

It is complete retirement and it is the people's will." It is the saddest clause in the testament of downfall to be ousted and left alone to retire. At least Fidel Castro wants Batista. But Barrios smiles and points the chain and lock on the gate to the grounds. There, at least, is part of Peron's self-esteem in burnished links of steel. "We must keep them locked," Barrios said.

"The house does not belong to us, and we can't let the tourists wander in and wear away the lawn."
