INDEX-DIGEST

The following digest of decisions presents a consolidated summary of
the case headnotes arranged alphabetically according to topic headings.
The digest is divided into four parts: Part I, containing decisions under
the Securities Act of 1933; Part II, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
Part III, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935; Part IV, the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

The case headnotes have not been carried over verbatim into this digest.
To facilitate the grouping together of decisions standing for a similar
proposition under a single digest heading, it has been necessary in some
cases to delete from the headnotes all matter not pertinent to the general
proposition for which the headnote stood, i. e., the names of companies,
the principal amounts of security issues, etc. To the same end, certain
case headnotes have been entirely redrafted for the digest so as to conform
to a uniform statement of the general proposition. In a few instances,
case headnotes, which were not considered important for the purposes of
this digest, have been omitted from the digest altogether.
