MOTHER OF BANK PRESIDENT HAS
 HELD HER HOME
Private Bank of Andretta and Co Was Closed Receiver Wants H0me- stead in Avon as Asset

Hartford, Conn. July 13-(UP) Mrs Felicia Andretta, mother of Salvatore Andretta, president of the closed private bank of An dretta and company, refused to- day to budge from her large es- tate, "Belquarero" in Avon despite threats of legal action by counsel for the receiver of the bank, who claim it as an asset of the closed institution.
 Mrs Andretta's counsel, Bene- dict M. Holden, in the meantime took legal steps to protect the bankers mother from interference. An associate of Holden, who is in Washington. filed an application in superior court this morning asking that the receiver be ordered to clear the title of the property.
 Morris Older, counsel for the receiver, declared Mrs Andretta turned the estate over to the bank in an effort to prevent collapse of the institution, which held the savings of thousands of Italians and Italian-Americans here. He declared Holden's action was not the proper legal course and that he would proceed with his motion to cite Mrs Andretta for contempt of court if she did not leave the estate. .e

Hartford, Conn, July 13.-(UP)
 The state supreme court of er- TOTS rarely presented a divided opinion but 1t was divided to 2 on a case on which its decision was made public to-day. Chief Justice William Maltbie and Jus tice George E. Hinman concurred with Justice John w. Banks, who wrote the majority opinion in the case of Lester E. Shippee. then bank commissioner vs the Com mercial. Trust company, trustee for the estate of James A. Gallery of. New Britain. World war yeter- an. The purpose of the suit was to determine whether $7,000 in the Trust company. which had been paid by the government to the vet eran as disability compensation de- served prior claim under the re- ceivership which followed closing of the trust company. The ma jority opinion declared such funds did not merit prior claim. The dis senting opinion of Justice Frank D.. Haines, in which Justice Chris topher l.. Avery concurred, de- clared Gallery as ward of the government deserved special pro- tection.

 The court affirmed conviction of C.. E. MacCullough. New Haven broker, to 3-5 years in states pris- on for embezzlement.

 Washington, July 13--(U. P)-- The administration is convinced that public sentiment strongly op-i poses even one penny's reduction in the $11, OO,000,000 war debt owed this country by nations which have lent privately more than $4,2C0,- 000,000 to other countries in the last six years.
 The figures on the private loans to other nations by the principal war debtors of the United States are from commerce department data.
 Latest evidence of the opposition to the war debt reduction Is in sem atorial reaction to reports from London that envoys from this coun- try gave private assurance the Uni- ted States would deal liberally with debtors who forgave German re- parations.
 Senator Johnson, republican, California, bitterly attacked the ad- ministration's debt policy late yes- terday. He especially denounced se-' cret negotiations.
 Secretary of State Stimson de- nied that the debtors had been given any assurances. He insisted the administrators war debt pol- (Continued on Page 9

 After a breakfast of bacon and eggs which he helped to prepare, Roosevelt took his place behind the steering apparatus of the Myth II ready for another strenuous day.
 The lights aboard the Myth flick cred long last night as he read newspapers and scrutinized papers detailing development in the St Lawrence river project turned over to him by Frank P. Walsh, chair man of New York state power au- thority.
 It was considered likely that he would make telegraphic reply to President Hoover's telegram refus- ing him a personal conference at the White House upon the project.
 The governor who has not been ashore since the cruise started shortly after noon Monday. planned to pilot the yawl to Woods Hole, Mass, before nightfall.
 The governors cruise drew much attention here. A swarm of small hoats mt ont into the harbOr fO greet him. He threatened to put out to sea unless he was left un- molested.
