ration, billion-dollar holding con-
Germ for financial houses, has passed
out of the hands of the Giannini family
of California to Lee. Higginson & Co.,
New York and Boston bankers.

Co. have replaced Amadeo P, Lawrence

formed Transamerica in 1928.
viii ReIinquish Banks.
The announcement, made by Elisha
Walker, chairman of Transamerica, In
letter to stockholders, showed that
Transamerica would relinquish control
OF all its banks, including the Bank Of
America New York;, the Bank OF
America, National Trust g. Savings
Association California; and the First
National Bank Of Portland, Greg.
Transamerica will hereafter invest In
bank securities without acquiring con-
troll
Amadeo Peter Giannini, the Cougar
old head of his family's interests, was
born in San Jose, Calf. He attended
business school for three months, re-
manned in his fathers produce business
for a time and then embarked on a
remarkable financial career.
The new controlling interests will
divorce all affiliate corporations OF
Transamerica Banks from the institu-
tions actually engaged In banking busi-
ness. The Bancamerica-B Blair Corpora
ton will be separated from the Bank
of America. The Gianninis merged the

eral Reserve Bank of Dallas, Tex, be-
comes chairman of the board of the

Savings Association, with headquarters

Mr.. walkers letter says as to the
changes:
Control of large commercial banks
at opposite ends Of the country, as well
as of the security companies affiliated
with two of them, and the control OF
companies engaged in various unre-
lated activities, have, in the light of the
important changes which have taken
place in business conditions since 1923,
and particularly the fact that there is
no apparent likelihood that Nation
wide branch banking will be authorized
by law in the near future, developed
questions as to the future activity Of
Transamerica"
Transamerica's assets are shown by
Walkers letter to have decreased June
30, 1881, to 1907, 117.000 from $1,1l7.-

nation from the directorate Of Trans
america Corporation, A. p. Giannini,
founder Of the big holding company,

of directors and announced he would

development of the plan.
Giannini. who in molding Trans.
america Corporation on the th2ory
that Nationwide branch banking
eventually would be permitted dis
closed that he had submitted his resig-
nation from ME directorate last June
because he could not approve the pol
icies, plans and procedure" OF his sue
cessor to the Transamerica chairman
ship, Elisha Walker Of New York.
In a statement, Giannini said:
THE plan offered by Mr.. Walker is
primarily Objectionable in that it pro-
poses to take out of the corporation the
control of it's principal and most valu-
able institutions and does not give the
stockholders an opportunity to express
themselves regarding the terms and
time of sale, merger or other disposal.
mo assurance is given that they viii
together remain In control of these In
stitutions, as would be the case In the
event of a free distribution, or that
allowance will be made for normal time
value, earning capacity, good will and
control value"
Giannini said he was "astounded"
that the dividend should be passed and
pointed to statement issued by Walk
er March saying part Of the cor
poration's large surplus" might be used
"to a reasonable extent, II necessary"
for continuance of the dividend.

a demoralized condition through no
fault of the growers.
Instead of providing relief, 1t stated
that there is no unanimity of opinion
on the subject.
"Of course there isn't when Sec
rotary Arthur M. Hyde propounds the
the questions to Governors and Con-
Rressmen of all States in the Union.
Only few of the Western States have
national forests or grazing lands on
Federal domain so their opinion Is all
that should have been asked"
The Governors statement followed
receipt of a letter from Secretary Hyde
which said the department would not
make the requested rate reduction Of
80 per cent or more for grazing.
Hyde's answer said a canvass of Gov
ernors and Congressman showed ~ in
favor, Is against. 10 willing to leave 1t
to the department and % making no
