BANKS MAY COME
INTO COURT AGAIN
United States Savings and
Parks Savings Are Still
in Litigation.

Progress was made last week in dis
position of the unlicensed bank situa-
ton in the District of Columbia, with
prospect that the two banks in litiga-
ton will come before the courts again
t is week.
The case Of the United States Sav-
ings Bank, which has been hanging fire
ever since this institution was dropped
from the Hamilton National Bank
merger. will come up for hearing Tues
day morning before Justice Jennings
Bailey in District Supreme Court.

Meantime negotiations for merger
of the Franklin National Bank With the
Washington Mechanics Savings and the
Mount Vernon Savings Banks have
been under way, without a complete
agreement having been reached. IL
was understood last night that progress
had been made in the negotiations. al
though final decision had not been
made as to whether the Franklin would
merge or try to reopen alone. The
Mount Vernon-MechanicS merger Is
making rapid progress, officials said last
night.
Banks Unlicensed.
As the District of Columbia situation
stands today, according to Controiler
of the Currency O'Connor, in review
of the unlicensed banks OF the Natlon
last night, there were 13 unlicensed
banks here at the close of the Presl-
dents holiday in March; nine OF these
have been licensed. chartered or placea
in liquidation. and four of these are
still unlicensed. OF these four, two
plans have been approved. one for the
Mount Vernon Savings Bank to merge
with the Washington Mechanics ana
the other for the reopening OF the
Franklin National Bank. officials OF the
Franklin bank have not yet given their
full agreement, however, to the Treas
ury plan. One plan has been dlsap-
proved, according to the controller S
tabulation. This is presumed to be the
plan for the United States Savings
Bank, whose president, Col. Wade H.
Cooper, is fighting the Treasury in the
courts to force adoption Of the Cooper
plan And finally, one plan for license
is under consideration, that of the IN
dustrial Savings Bank, colored insti-
tuition. which hopes to reorganize into
national bank.
The United States Bank long has
been in the courts, since Col. Cooper
made such a fight to keep it out of the
Hamilton National Bank merger that
the Treasury voluntarily withdrew II
