The admiral. it is claimed here. has
had ample time to reach the Pacific
since he left the waters of Indo- China.
The dispatches received from the

vance himself. undertake a counter of

publicity that has been given to the If
forts of the company to increase its
cash resources and to the unmarked
able character of certain securities
which it holds as collateral for large
loans, / have advised the president to
recommend suspension of business 50
as to prevent a run on the institu-
ton. Mr.. Phillips has been president
for only a few months. Loans that
crippled the cash resources were not
made under his administration and he
has no responsibility for thine. Ever
since Mr.. Phillips assumed office his eff
forts have been directed toward induc-
ing those under whose administration
the loans were made to take them out
of the institution. This has not yet
been done"
Officers of the trust company are as
follows: President, Jacob L. Phillips;
vice president, Cassius NJ. Wicker; Sec
rotary and treasurer, Frank p. Davis;
