lay claim to being one of the
nations greatest financiers be-
cause Of his position as head Of
the powerful Appropriations Com

the fact that John D. Mothers

of the few Washington money
men who wears formal morning
attire.
Bruce Baird, assistant trust of.
ficer of National Savings and
Trust Company, is much inter

well, ask him if he had mike"
fright.
Baird and the other boys in
the trust department of the

these days, compiling income tax
returns for estates which the
institution administers. There are
thousands of them, but it's said
that the bank will have each
ready to sign, seal and deliver
when Uncle Sans dead line rolls

dous one and the boys have been
working on it since January 1.
