Trading on Margin Banned by U.S. In Move to Curb Speculative Buying WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (AP).—The Federal Reserve Board yesterday raised the margin requirements for stock exchange trading to 100 percent, effective today. This drastic step, designed to check speculation and curb inflation, will have the effect of halting all dealings by the public "on margin" on the stock exchanges. Persons who want to buy or sell listed securities will now have to post 100 percent of the market value with the brokers. The requirement has been 75 percent since July 5, when it was raised N.Y.

Zionists Demand Palestine Board OK National Status NEW YORK, Jan. 22 (UP).—U.S. Zionist leaders, in a special session, decided they would not approve fu- ture recommendations by the Anglo- American Commission on Palestine —even the granting of increased immigration—unless it provided for recognition of a national status for Jewish Palestine. Abba Hillel Silver, addressing the ! meeting, said: "It should clearly be understood by everyone, especially by the com- mission, that the rescue of a cer- tain number of refugees alone, however vital and urgent, is not Zionism, nor is it in the Balfour Declaration nor the Palestine man- date." Antony Bashir, Archbishop of the ] (Syrian Antipchian Orthodox Church of North America, has written the I joint commission as the represen- | tative of Arab Christians in the U.S.: "Christian Arabs are not dif- ferent from their Moslem brethren, j in their attitude toward Zionism." U.S. Population Hits New High WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (AP).— The population of the U.S. includ- ing armed forces overseas, increased by 8.000,000 during the five years ending July 1, 1945, the Census Bureau said today. The population as of that date was more than 139,600,000, the bureau declared. The increase, which the bureau | attributed to the war-time rise in the birth rate, was about 10 percent j less than the increase for the 10- | year period from 1930 to 1940. Another cause for the increase was the excess of arrivals of citizens and aliens over departures. Net immigration totaled nearly 600,000 in the five-year period.
