PARK BANK FIGHT
IS BEFORE COURT
U. S. Moves to Drop Action
Seeking to Gust Treasury
Receiver.

The Government today moved In the
Supreme Court of the District of Co.
lumbia to administer affairs Of the
Park Savings Bank by cursory receiv-
ership regardless of whether the court
decided the bank is a corporation or a
o-partnership.
In a two-part action, the controller
OF the currency moved to dismiss that
part OF the bill filed by q Depositors'
Committee Of the bank seeking to oust
the Treasury receiver. while the receiv-
er, in an answer to the bill, presented
arguments showing why he should re-
main in charge to liquidate the bank
q. B. Springston of the Treasury De-
partment appeared as counsel for the
controller, while j. Bruce Kremer ap-
peared on behalf Of the receiver, John
F. Moran
The Depositors' Committee had asked,
the court to ouSt the Treasury receiver
and replace him with q receiver to be
appointed by the court The commit
tee claimed the bank by virtue of the
expiration OF its charter in 1929 was
no longer q corporation, but had be-
come a co-partnership under which
the directors and stockholders were
personally liable for the losses of more
than 81 5000 discovered after Rob-
ert S. StunZ. the banks vice president,
committed suicide March IA.
The receiver in his answer today did
not maintain that the bank was still
corporation, but left this issue for
the court to decide upon the basis Of
the facts and the arguments to be pre-
sented by the Depositors' Committee
and the directors counsel. II is ex-
pected that the answer of the directors
and stockholders who are made de-
PENDANTS In the bill will be filed to
morrow.
The receiver In his answer asked the
court for q realignment Of parties. to
make the receiver a plaintiff in q case
against the directors In the original
bill by the Depositors' Committee, the
conservator was made defendant, but
the former conservator has been re-
placed by the Treasury receiver who
answered tn the court.
In addition to the Governments
pleadings in the Park Savings Bank
case, it was expected there would be
filed today the pleadings OF the other
defendants. including the bank itself,
the directors and the stockholders, who
are represented by three cOunsels. Otis
Kent. Joseph T. Sherier and Ralph B.
F1eharty.
It was also indicated that a motion
would be filed soon by the Depositors
Committee asking formally for appoint
ment of a court receiver in place of the
Treasury receiver.
The Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton has already filed its motion to dis
miss the case as 1t applies to the
r. F. c. Thus the Park Savings Bank
case ties into it "a complex series of
questions which will make 1t one OF the
most important insolvent bank cases
ever tried in the District.
