               BROKER-DEALER PROCEEDING

                    Grounds for Remedial Action

                         Aiding, Abetting, and Causing Manipulation

                         Failure to Supervise Reasonably

               Person associated with a registered broker-dealer aided,
               abetted, and caused a manipulation effected by her customer.
               President of the firm failed to supervise her reasonably.
               Held, it is in the public interest to suspend the associated
               person from association with any broker or dealer for a
               period of two months and to order her to cease and desist
               from committing or causing any future violation of the
               antifraud and antimanipulation provisions of the federal
               securities laws and rules thereunder.  It is further in the
               public interest to suspend the president from association
               with any broker or dealer for a period of three months.
