 Mr. Steiber said he could not cX- plain or discuss this transaction which has become central point Of inquiry by state and federal au- thorities in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. Arthur F. ConnOr. president Of the American Fiducjary Corporation. has stated that this %1.950,000 had been loaned on call 10 the bankers capital on assurance that bank and trust company Sccuri- ties would he available as collateral. II now develops that tho Bankers Capital has only about sl0O. .0o0 in liquid assets and inc American Fidu- ciary only s25.ooo.
 Asked how the Bankers Capital could acquire title 10 this stock. M'. Steiber said he could not answer the question.
 AIr, Steiber said there are about 200 Connecticut stockholders at present in the American Fiduciary Corp. With the exception of Mr Connor and his associates, all Of them are small investors. Their losses will be determined by the fi- nancial condition Of the Bankers Capital, Mir. Steibcr added. Accord ing 10 Emanuel G. Kleid. assistant United States attorney Of New York. the Bankers Capital has several millions dollars in liabilities and only Sl00.000 in assets. It was learned today also that some Con- necticut individuals had placed slID- stantal sums on call with the Bankers Capital,
 COrrcctS Mistake Mir. Stoibcr corrected an erroneous impression that the state banking and attorney departments were joint claimants with him in the action against the American Fiduciary Corporation. He said they were not parties 10 this action. Bank Com missioner Lester F. Shippcc and As sistant Attorney General John II. King. adviser 10 the banking depart ment. only recommended such aC- ton. MT, Stoibor said.
 Mr. Shippce today explained 'hc states role as follows: The banking department has no jurisdiction over the American Fiduciary Corpora ton and therefore. has no power 10 ask Tor a receiver.
 We have. however. recommended that such action be taken and CO., operated with Mir. Sjcbcr and Mr. COnnor. But in no sense can we be a party 10 the complaint legally The state banEinG department has no juri@diction over the company. All We can do is recommend in formally.
 Since the company's name was changed by action Of the engineer in June, the corporation has sold no stock. r. has no trust funds. nor has it executed any Of its powers since that time. The only authority by which tEe banking department could get into the company is the fraud act which has enabled us to investigate to see if any fraud was pcrpetrated in connection with the operations Of affiliated companies"
