erS prepared to name the assess
ment for the coming year.

BATTLES MONEY
GIANTS TO SAVE
BANK He LOVES
Giannini, of HuckSter- to-
Millions Fame, Fights
TranSamerica Move.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. o.
Amadeo P. Giannini, who fought his
way from a waterfront produce mar
ket to leadership in one of the
nations greatest banks, plunged to-
day into a new struggle among
financial giants by opposing the
drastic reorganization of Trans
america Corporation.
Openly breaking with the ex-
ecutiveS to whom he had passed
control of the institutions, Giannini
aligned himself with the great mass
Of TranSamerica stockholders and
promised lively personal inter-
est" in the corporations future.
Known at 81 as ''the man who re-
fused to become a millionaire" Gil
annini gathered all the power at his
command to fight the breaking I'D
OF the money giant he pulled from
the ashes of the San Francisco fire
in 1906.
In a statement issued Tuesday
night, after directors in New York
had voted to dispose of controlling
interests in various banks, Giannini
pleaded for faith in Trans
america" and then vigorously at
tackled the directors.
Voted into Retirement
Giannini commented first on the
fact that he, the founder and for
mer president of Transamerica. had
been voted into retirement as di-
rector.
Il presented my resignation as an
officer and director of Transamerica
companies last June while at Bad
caste, in Austria, because I could
not approve the policies, plans and
procedure of my successor, Chair
man Walker" Claimant said.
"The present plan, offered by Mr..
Walker, primarily is Objectionable in
that it proposes to take out of the
corporation the control Of its prin-
cipal and most valuable institutions
and does not give the stockholders
an opportunity to express them
selves regarding the terms and time,
of sale, merger, or other disposal,
and no assurance is given that they
will together remain in control Of
these institutions, as would be the
case in the event of a free distT-
button, or that allowance will be
made for normal time value; earn
ing capacity, good will and control
value"
Sees Dreams Ruined
Seeing Transamerica slipping
from his grasp, and with his life
long dreams of world financing.
Gianni attacked Chairman Walker
and charged that Walker, without
his knowledge, voted Giannini
proxies in favor of a plan which
Giannini opposed.
Giannini never cared for the I'M
told wealth he could have had. Once
he gave $1,500,0O0 to the University
of California for an agricultural re-
search foundation. He gave away
many sums to education and char
ity.
But his bank always came first.
1t is the bank he is fighting for
now.
