Just what Mr.. Mason's plans are have
not been made known. He did not attend

he resign as a member of the board. No
chances whatever We're made IN the board.
Mr. Won Lingen, the new president. has
been at the head of the institution be

the largest individual stakeholder of the
bank, and has been identified with il for
many years. In fact he is one Of few
