Hopkins To Urge Annulment
Stock Selling Power.

Richard J. Hopkins, attorney gen.

regarding his proposal to Immediately
submit legal phases of the Kansas
Bank Holding Corporation project to
the supreme court for determination.
Instead, Hopkins will offer to the state

which he recites that the purposes of
the corporation, as defined in its stock
selling permit. are not within the
scope of the law. On the basis of his
opinion, Hopkins will ask that the
corporation be denied permission to
sell stock. He will go before the char
ter board, of which he is a member,
and not before the supreme court for
a ruling. he stated.
