Receiver Empowered to Pro.
ceed Along Lines Affecting
$5,414,500 on Hand.
GOVERNMENT, RAILROAD
AND FARM BONDS IN LIST
Most of Securities Pledged, and
Creditors to Receive Little I'm.
less They Are Freed.

Robert C.. Baldwin, receiver of the
Commercial National Bank, today began
hquidating the assets of that institu-
ton under authority of an order signed
yesterday in the District Supreme Court.
The order, signed by Justice James M.
Proctor, empowers the receiver Of the
closed bank to proceed along the three
following lines:
l. To sell all stocks, warrants, de-
bentures certificates or bonds held as
free assets, for the best price obtainable
subject to the approval of the controller
OF the currency.
2. To sell any assets of similar ma
ture, which are now pledged, If and
when they are returned as free assets.
3. To deposit with properly organized
bond holders protective committees
bonds and other securities now in de-
fault, or which may come into default.
The petition for permission to sell the
assets, filed through the law firm OF
Sherley, Faust & Wilson, stated that
the receiver has on hand securities
aggregating approximately $5,414, 500 at
their par value. These assets consist
largely of United States Government
railroad and Federal Farm Loan bonds
and their present market Is listed in
the petition at almost the par value
The great majority of these assets have
been pledged, according to the petition
and unless they are subsequently re-
leased and returned to the receiver as
free assets, it is believed the creditors
of the bank will receive only relatively
small amount through the liquidation.
The court order was said to be a
necessary part of the process of liqui-
dation of national bank Mr.. Baldwin
has been directing the earlier stages of
liquidation for some time, but could not
conclude the task without final author
ity of the court order which was signed
yesterday. It is understood he will pro-
ceed under authority of this order to
complete liquidation.

SWANSON FAV0RS
REVISION Of WHOLE
NAVAL PAY SCALE
Secretary, However, Opposes
Reduction OF Aviators More
Than Is Per Cent.
CABINET MEMBER BACKS
CONCLUSIONS OF BOARD
Recommends Retention Of Ratio to
Other Various Grades for
Flight Officers.

Secretary Of the Navy Swanson be-
lieves "the whole scale Of Navy pay is
In need Of revision in many respects"
This opinion, expressed In letter to
Chairman Vinson of the House Naval
Committee, made public today, accom-
panied report Of the Navy Depart
ment Board, which opposed reduction
of aWators' pay more than the Is per
cent now in effect.
The Navy Department Board consists
OF representatives appointed by the
chief Of Naval Operations, the chief
Of the Bureau Of Navigation and the
chief Of the Bureau of. Aeronautics to
study flight pay. The board met with
legislation pending in the House to au-
thorize President Roosevelt further to
regulate flight pay in the interests of
economy. Secretary Swanson concur
red in the report Of the Navy Depart
ment Board.
Agrees With Navy Board.
The Secretary wrote: The whole
scale Of Navy pay Is in need of re-
vision In many respects. This, to-
gether with the reduction Of Is per
cent already in effect for aviation flight
pay, would appear to make it more
satisfactory In the long run to make
the fight-pay problem q part Of .
major revision Of all pay schedules.
II am inclined to feel that aviation
night pay, in the course OF any such
general revision, should retain some
ratio to other pay for various grades,
and should have an upper limit similar
to that recommended by the board.
rately at the present time, agree.
as I have indicated, with the board" "
The Navy Department Board, con-
sisting Of Rear Admiral A. w. johnson,
assistant chief Of the Bureau Of Navi-
Of the Bureau Of AeronauticS, and
Lieut.. Comdr. A. c. Davis. went on
record as follows:
THE board believes that a lower Nmi-
tation than that recommended not only
would be inequitable. but would re-
suit in harm to naval aviation out Of
all proportion to the saving involved.
A majority of the officers affected,
whose valuable services In aviation can
least be spared, would be unable, re-
gardless Of zeal and interest to afford
this hazardous duty without compen-
sation adequate for their personal fam
lily responsibility.
Wants Is Per Cent Limit.
1T is q fact that commanders are
now performing duties as squadron
commanders and that they and cap
tains (colonels) are Of the proper grade
to command wings composed of squad
rons) and groups composed Of Wings.
This requirement. both as to command
ers and as to captains, is certain to
increase as naval aviation expands and
develops"
The board set 1t down that "the
present system Of compensation Is Just
and proper, and that the reduction of
Is per cent in flight pay of all avia-
tors. now In effect, should not be ex-
ceeded." 1t added that it recommends
modification Of present flight pay pro-
visions" in view Of the present attitude
Of Congress, but considers that no
action should be taken which will limit
flight pay for any officers to any lesser
amount than that provided under ex-
isting law for any commander Cor lieu
tenant colonel.
