. BANK MERGER
IS OFF
Consolidation Plans Of Four
New York Institutions Are
Dropped, Report Says

Negotiations toward the billion
dollar merger Of Manufacturers
Trust Company, Public National
Bank and Trust Company, Bank
Of United States and Interna-
tional Trust Company, which
would have formed the fourth
largest bank in New York, have
broken down. A brief announce
ment stated that the principals
had failed to agree upon the de-
tails and final terms and that
negotiations had been ended.
This came as q surprise since
an announcement on November
"a stated that tentative terms
had been agreed upon and gave
in addition the roster of the Of
ficials who would guide it's des-
TIMES.
There was some belief that ne
gotiations might be resumed later
on for the merger Of some of
these banks If not all Of them
with the possibility Of the en-
trance Of new figures into the
picture.
DR.. Randolph Burgess, deputy
governor Of the New York Federal
Reserve Bank, today answered
queries for j. Herbert Case, chair
man Of the Federal Reserve Bank
here, who was to have headed
the combine. DR.. Burgess said
that the Federal Reserve Bank
had not been a party to the
merger and that it was merely
watching the situation.
The merger would have brought
four new banking figures into the
picture. These are Mortimer N.
Buckner, chairman of the board
Of the New York Trust Company
and chairman of the clearing
house committee; Walter e,
Frew, chairman of the board Of
the Corn Exchange Bank Trust
Company: George w. Dawson,
president Of the Central Han.
over Bank and Trust Company,
and Park A.. Rowley, vice chair.
man Of the board of the Bank Of
Manhattan Trust Company. None
had been identified before with
any Of the institutions figuring
in the merger.

REPUBLICAN, CLUB :
DEMANDSREFEAL
OF PROHIBITION

NEW YORK. Mar. 11.-U.P)-
Tic National Republican club was
ON record today for repeal of the
18th amendment.
After f,ur hours Of bitter debate,
in which parliamentary tactics vcrg
Ing upon the purely technical we're
frequently resorted TO. club members
voted 4c1 to 3i5 for res iution
cilling upon Republican representa-
ItiVes in congress 10 "adVocatc au1
vote for repeal.'
Those on the minority side did not
" 'sh 10 put the club Oh record as
either wet or dry.
More than POO members attended
the meeting willie proxies 70 m
members throughout the country
mlde up the rest Of the vote The
total vote represented about 10 per
cont Of the club 5 approximate mem
hersilip oi 1900.
The prohibition issue was forced
last February 10 when i members
headed by Frederic r. Coudcrt, Jr,
hy petition compelled the secretary
10 call a special meeting 10 vote on
tho resolution, proposed by Coudert,
Republican candidate for district
.ttorncy last fall.
The debate was filled with charges
from the wet side that the opposition
lacked courage to face recognized
issue while the other side accused
Coudcrt's 5 followers With risking
disruption of the club for the sake
Of "fanatical propa ganda."
Predictions that numerous rcsig-
nations would result from the vote
were made freely by opponents of
the resolution. They declared that
the vote, if II should prove to be for
tic resolution. would place the club
in opposition To the part%'s Kansas
CITY platform and the Hoover ad
mlnistratiou.
In answer, the vets s1id that
while the national platform ard the
Hoover administration upheld en-
forcement of the 18th amendment,
neither denied the right of citizens

board warned today that unless

by 10 per cent and prevent another

of wheat on hand at the end of this
year and that there is no hope of
dumping very much on the export
market.
