Rumors About Taking Over Commercial Trust Co. Denied

That officials of the Commercial Trust Co.,, closed Saturday by order of State Bank Commissioner Lester l.. Shippee following a run which depleted the cash assets of the bank, are working quietly on a plan for reorganization was intimated by MT Shippec today.
 Contrary to the general opinion, it is said state bank examiners are not going over the books of the local bank, but the officers and employes of the institution are going over ac- counts and strengthening out all rec ords under the supervision of Dep uty Bank Commissioner Harold Splain and several assistants.
 Asked what would happen in case the bank failed to reorganize, Mir Shippee said that in that case il was probable receiver would be asked and a complete liquidation would follow.
 Asked today when he expected tc have the bank reopen, President John C. Loomis said it was too soon to tell.
 Denies Prospective Transfer
 Rumors that the Hartford Con- necticut Trust Company was getting ready to take over the local bank were denied by MT. Loomis and by one of the directors. Harold Kenyon treasurer of the Hartford bank, said he had nothing to say on the sub' ject.
 It is believed that the rumor started from the fact that Charles w. Hawkins, newly elected vice president of the Commercial Trust Co.,, has been conferring with Ma than Prince, president of the Hart ford institution, who, it is said, has been cooperating in an advisory ca pacity,
 Foreclosure Not Likely
 Another rumor that the Metropol- itan Life Insurance Co. is preparing 10 take over the building of the To- cal institution has been denied. The insurance company holds the mort gage on the building. but Vice Pres ident Pardon C. Hickey of the Con- mercial Trust Co.,. said today the mortgage was not delinquent and he saw no reason why such steps should be taken.
 Skepticism in the proba bility of such action was expressed by Ron aid Cook. manager of the Hartford branch of the insurance company. Our company never acts hastily on foreclosures. and since the mortgage is not delinquent I don't believe there is anything to it." he said.

T) and. striking into a driving mist, headed for Cartagena, Spain. They were on the first lap c1 q projected transatlantic flight to Rio de Janciro, Brazil.
 piloting the first of the planes was General ltalo Balbo. Italian air min istcr and leader of the expedition, which in many ways represents the most ambitious transoceanic flight adventure ever attempted. Fifty three other men comprised the off ccrs and crews of the Fascist air ar mada.
 From Cartagcna the airmen plan to fly down the Mediterranean and West African coast to d point near Dakar. Senegal, whence the cXpedl- ton will take off on a 1900 mile flight across the Atlantic to Natal. Brazil, and continue from Natal to Rio de Janeiro. It is planned event ually to sell the planes to the Bra zilian government and to return home by ship.
 Hold Ceremony
 The departure of the expedition followed brief ceremony, witness cd by about 25o persons, in which the airmen, standing at attention, sang the Hymn of the Aviators new Italian air service anthem. Then. taking off their hats, the men raised their arms in the Fascist salute and at General Balbo's order; TO your posts" repaired to the sea planes.
 General Balbo's black winged plane, cmblcmatic of Fascism rose first. Two similar machines follow ed. Then came three other groups of three planes each, the first with white wings. the second with red wings, and the third with green wings, representing the Italian na- tional colors. In the rear were two relief planes which may be suhstl- tntcd for any of the original l2 which may fail en route.
 Face Heavy Mist
 The planes followed each other into the air at 20 second intervals. All headed northward first and then turned westward, toward the open sea on the more than TOO mile trip to Cartagena. There was not q breath Of air stirring although there was a heavy mist, nearly drizzle. Weather reports, after two days postponement of the start. were fav- orable. It was expected to reach Cartagena before the early nightfai: of this season.
 As General Balbo climbed into his sea plane he stood and shouted to others making the flight: And no" q cheer for our Duce." The men responded with the Fascist cry: Eva Eya Alala," the motors drown- ing out the last of the shout.
 Prior to departure General Balbo discovered that chicken sandWlches had been included in the lunches fixed for the aviators. He ordered them removed, stating: 'Chlckens don't fly. They would mean bad luck for us,'
