STATE DENIED CONTROL

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, June l7-Vederal
Judge George A. Welsh, who has ap-
pointed receivers for building and loan
association, today threw out the con-
tention of the State Department of
Banking that it alone is entitled to ad-
minister associations which are In
financial difficulties.
William D. Gordon, secretary Of
banking, through the attorney gen.
erals ONCE asked Judge Welsh. in the
District Court for Eastern Pennsyl-
vanta, to revoke the appointment of
receivers for the Mortgage Building &
Loan Association, Philadelphia, and turn
the association over to the banking de-
partment for supervision.
Judge Welsh ruled that such asso-
Citations can have their affairs placed
In equity receivership for the protec-
tion OF the stockholders If they have
not already been taken over by the State
and II the petitioning stockholder IS
not a resident of Pennsylvania.
The Federal Constitution guarantees
citizens of another State the right Of
appeal to the Federal courts. he point
ed out. To refuse the petitioner this
right would be to strip him of every
vestige of his rights under the Con-
stitution," Judge Welsh ruled
Carried to its logical conclusion, such
o theory of law would destroy the
union of the States and make our Ma
tion consist eventually, of 48 States
bristling with antagonisms, conflicting
policies and jealousies," he declared.
