GOVERNOR IS SILENT
 ON L00MIS' ASSERTION
But Laws May Be Revised to Keep Out Super.
 Trusts"

Hartford, May II R-An attempt will be made to revise the general banking laws of Connecticut at the next session of the state legislature in order to prevent another situation like that of the Bankers Security Trust Co. of Bridgeport, Governor Trumhull said today.
 The governor declared he knew Of bills being prepared for q re- vision of the banking laws and that the Connecticut Bankers' association will make every effort to obtain the passage of laws that will not only protect existing banks but will pre- vent companies from enjoying such privileges as contained in the char ter of the Bridgeport company.
 Governor Trumbull was reluctant to comment at this time on the statement issued by John c. Loomis president of the Commercial Trust Co. of New Britain and chairman of a special committee studying the general situation. that the Bankers Security Trust is "super-trust foisted unwittingly on the state by the legislature" because of the ex- traordinary powers granted to the company. The governor said he is not familiar with the charter or op- erations of this company. but will probably issue statement after con- ferring with Bank Commissioner Lester F. Shippee and Attorney Gen. eral Benjamin w. filling.
 Mr. Loomis. after a study of the compapy's charter declared that the Bridgeport institution. although not licensed as bank, has far greater powers than those given to any banking company in the state of Connecticut. The company is priv ileged to issue various kinds of stock and conduct banks, using the ab- sentee management scheme if 1t so desires. the New Britain banker pointed out,
