Persons wishing to make written submissions should refer to File No. S7-648 and should file six copies thereof with George A. Fitzsimmons, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 500 North Capitol Street, Washington, D.C. 20549. (Re!. 34-12796) DECISIONS IN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS NASD ACTION AGAINST STIX & CO. INC. MODIFIED The Commission has stayed for 30 days sanctions imposed by the NASD on Stix & Co. Inc., a St. Louis broker-dealer firm. The NASD had suspended the firm from membership because of its failure either to honor an arbitration award or to request a court to set it aside. The Commission noted that this was the first case in which it had interpreted the NASD's arbitration code, and that Stix's failure to take court action was based on the advice of counsel. It accordingly gave Stix a 3~-day grace period in which it can either pay the award or seek to have it vacated. If the award is paid, the Commission will set aside the sanctions imposed by the NASD. If court action is taken, the sanc- tions will be further stayed and the Commission will reserve jurisdiction to take the remedial action, if any, that it deems appropriate in light of the outcome of the judicial proceedings.
