MORAN CHARGES
NEGLIGENCE
Of DUTY
Victory To Bring Full Pay-off
And Defeat 81, ,o00,0 900 Loss
To Its Depositors

The sword hanging for o year
over the collective heads Of the
directors of the defunct Park
Savings Bank is being sharpened
with the preparation Of a civil
suit involving upwards Of $780,
600, The Washington Times
learned today.
The bill in equity is being
drawn up jointly and severally
against 20 directors Of the ex-
tinct institution in the name Of
John F. Moran, receiver, and will
be ready for filing in the District
Supreme Court within 10 days,
the attorneys said.
Losses And Scandal
The Park Savings Bank crashed
last year, sweeping away the LIES
savings Of many Of its $4,000 oe-
positors and leaving a long trail
Of scandal in its wake.
Slowly unraveling the tangled
threads of financial manipulation
which have tied up it's $3,379,5 ,554
in deposits, the receiver to date
has brought three suits in an
effort to thaw out the frozen
assets. Crooked dealings in the
bank came to light after its
former executive vice president,
Robert S. StunZ, sent q bullet
through his head.
The suit now being prepared
against the directors claims that
there will be probable losses Of
more than $1,500,00O.
Directors Called Negligent
It charges the directors with
negligence in failing to carry out
their duties. It claims that the
directors, instead of running the
bank themselves. turned over its
management to Mr.. Stunz and
that therefore they are liable to
some extent for subsequent losses
suffered by depositors.
With one exception, all Of the
directors live in washington or
have a place Of business here. A
conservative estimate of the
wealth of the men is we'll over
$4,000, 900, so that in the event the
suit is filed and judgment is OBJ
tanned the men would be in posi-.
ton to pay, the attorneys said.
Full Pay.Off Possible,
The suit is being prepared by
Attorneys ]. Bruce Kremer, George
B. Springston and Herbert M.
Bingham. a
success in the suit being pre-
pared, plus favorable outcome OF
pending suits in the name of, the
receiver will result in almost 100
per cent pay off to the 1000 de-
positors. the attorneys said.
This is the rosy side of the pic
ture, and contrasts with that
drawn by Mr.. Moran. who said to-
day that unless all litigation. both
pending and future, is in favor Of
the depositors. there will be an
approximate eventual loss Of ST..
600, 900.
Three Other Suits Pend
A suit has been brought against
the directors as liquidating trus-
tees Of the bank under the Ala
bama law to force them to &C.
count for all assets. Another suit
for $50, 900 for dividends said to be
illegally paid stockholders between
August 80, 1929 and March 8, 1888.
A third suit for $4,000 against
the American Security Company
on the bankers blanket bond Is
now in the Court Of Appeals.
Attempts also have been made
to levy assessments against the
stockholders, but a test case of
the legality Of this action has
first to be made.

FRANK DORBANnT ALASKAN
ACE IS. FIGHTING MAD.

The Department of Commerce avi- ation. branch, Alaska Game Commis-, sion,l the Customs Department and a girl in Seattle have made Frank Dorbandt, Alaska aerial trail blazer and pilot. mad, says the Seward Gateway.
 For, two years: now, he says, these four have bounded him causing him much trouble, worry and expense, but it is his inning now!
 Returning to Seward recently from the south, he. reported lie had been at Ketchikan for seven weeks where an attempt was made to revamp the original alleged illicit fur smuggling charge against Lyman DeStaffney and himself.
 E Dorhandt said the government had spent $21, 300 and called 23 witnesses and after the hearing. or whatever it was held, was completed, the case was put ovr until next April.
 At Anchorage, Murray Hall, De- partment of Commerce aviation in spector for Alaska, had his aviator's g and mechanics license revoked for minor infraction,. he said. And down in the city of Seattle girl bX the name of Marjorie Seller, chaRg ed that he, Dorbandt, was the father of her child.
 There are other things, too, the ace Alaska flyer said, which he is going to see through to the finish, but for the moment is mot making public what they are.
 However, he added, be will file by telegraph at Washington, sensational charges against Murray. Hall.- That is the first step in his :. hattie to strike back. Then, later this month, he will go to Seattle to answer the Seller girl charges, but in. particular to bring counter charges alleged against the girl and two men alleg ing blackmail.e
 | After 22 1-2 years in the aviation business, the past several in Alaska, Dorbandt now finds himself strip ped of the means to make a liveli- hood, and he certainly does not in tend to take it on the. chin any long CT. The pot has boiled over, he said, and the scum to be soon exposed by him will certainly stir up the broth.
 As a result of his Alaska flying during which time he attained na- tional renown, his -colorful career embraced many daring rescues and exploits, and as result, Dorbandt now has in his possession 2,O0O letters from Alaskans who have come forward with offers of assist ance.
