The Mcleod banking bill
would be altered so as to safe
guard estates and trusts in hands
Of closed banks under a memo
randum sent to the Banking
and Currency Committee Of the
House yesterday by a group of
local attorneys.
Under existing laws, the memo
randum reads, there are many
national banks. trust companies
and other financial institutions
which have been acting as fidu-
ciaries but which are now in
hands of conServators or receiv-
ers and cannot exercise their
fiduciary functions without first
obtaining consent of the Treas
ury Department for each act to
be performed under the trust.
It is further stated in the
memorandum that such institu-
tions acting as fiduciary cannot
voluntarily withdraw or resign
from it's position without ap-
proval or consent Of the Treas
ury Department. Even with such
consent, it is considered doubt
full whether such withdrawal or
resignation is strictly bona fide
under the law
Attorneys interested in the
proposed amendment have de-
clined to allow their names to be
in connection with
the proposal but state that the
change is not intended to re-
fleet on any institution in the
city, whether open or closed, but
designed to remedy an unwieldy
situation and eliminate red tape
and needless expense to bene-
ficiaries under the trusts.
Whether the legislation can
be passed at this session is a
matter Of doubt, since there are
many complicating details which

PLACOS PICKS

FOR TILT
By DANNY GILL

Duckpin fans have a habit Of
looking with disdain upon any
teams other than those from the
recognized bowling centers such as
Washington, Baltimore, Rich
mond, Norfolk, Annapolis, Hart
ford, or Willimantic, Conn.
Consequently when the Win
chester All-Stars were booked as
opponents for Gus Places Sunrise
Bakery, folks out Northeast way
refused to get excited over the
prospect of seeing an outfit from
the land Of the apple-blossom.
Are No SetUps
But the Virginians, who show
here Friday afternoon and night
at Temple against the Bakers, are
set-ups for none. Only a short
time ago they trounced a Hagers-
town aggregation, turning in a
TIA game.
The match will be on1e-and-
home affair, with five games or
dered for Friday as well as singles
and doubles. The visitors team
is made up Of Duvall, White, Jen-
kins, Butler, Lassalopt and Tay-
lor, names, which so far, mean
nothing locally, although the next
few days may tell a different
story.
Pacini in Singles
Gus plans to send Ollie Pacini,
No. ranking bowler, against the
pick Of the Winchester bowlers
in the singles, and will probably
shoot Joe and Paul Harrison into
the doubles.
Gus had surrounded himself
with q conglomeration Of stars
such as Eddie Espey who won a
national junior doubles title with
Paul Harrison a short time back;
Paul Harrison, who is averaging
better than 124 in the District
League, Brother Joe Harrison,
who leads the National Capital
League; Sam Simon, Howard
Campbell, Sweepstakes winner;
Ollie Pacini, Ed Blakeney, who is
near the top in both of the major
leagues and Ray Won Dreele, Bal
timorean, who leads the District
League.

Landers' right was a constant

FURTHER RALLY.
IN MARKET
LIKELY
BY THE WALL STREET
SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, March 81 G.N.S.)
The Presidents intervention in
the labor situation was a dra-
matte development and helped
diSpel the dark clouds that were
piling up in Wall Street. The
markets rally was natural, con-
sidering the way it had been
sold down. A further rally
seems probable, but the trend
will be determined by the out
come of the auto and rail con-
ferences.
The way some Of these stocks
snapped back indicated there
were quite few bears around.
It was quite surprising to see
a normally heavy stock like Gen.
eral Motors jump a couple Of
points on a relatively small
volume.
Shrewd observers in the Street
are watching the London gold
price closely in view Of the
strength in the. pound. their
view is that Britain may be
forced to bid the price Of gold up,
perhaps even higher than the $35
an ounce domestic level, to keep
sterling down.
The grain code is taken as an
indirect bid by the Government
for higher commodity prices.
The significant thing is that
margins of as low as 10 per cent
are permitted for those who buy
up to 100000 bushels of grain.
This contrasts sharply with the
stock market bill even with its
notifications, where margins of
so per cent will be demanded for
new accounts. It's not unlikely
that a good deal Of speculative
activity will switch into grains
from stocks as a result.
Weakness in Socony Vacuum
looks like special liquidation.
The clue may be in the fact
Socony exchanged a big block of
stock for East Texas Oil properties
on Monday.
Rumors Of some important buy
ing in stocks in the last few days
are going the rounds. among
the buyers, according to gossip, is
one of the Streets "big shots" who
is also prominent politically
whether true or not, it's an old
speculative maximum that the
best buying usually takes place
when stocks look the worst, and
vice versa on the selling.
