BY the Associated Press.
Senator Costigan, Democrat, of Col
orado, sponsor in the Senate of the
administration plan for stabilization
of the world sugar price by quota re-
strictions and agreements, defended
that proposal in radio address last
night.
He declared the stabiliZation plan lis
one which has grown in favor among
sugar producers-both growers and
factories-in recent years"
In fairness" said the Senator. "it
should be noted that people will, of
course. differ over what constitutes
proper quotas. and friends of sugar
growers in Washington are unitedly
urging the largest just quotas for do
meStic producers which public action
can secure"
The Senator referred to objections
"of some spokesmen for domestic
sugar beet growers" to the suggested l.
$50 .000-ton production quotas as COM
pared with the 1933-34 crop Of 1885,
900 tons.
Senator Costigan said "the domestic
figure the administration inserted In
the bill, while less than this years
unusual output, is higher than any
figure for domestic beet sugar con-
sumption in the previous history Of
our industry"

Senator Robert D. Carey, Repub-

luncheon of rcast pork with trim
mings, at the Capitol today to sup
port his contention that the Depart
ment of Agriculture could have dis
tributed as food the small pigs bought

press gallery. Senator Carey stated:
The Department of Agriculture, in
connection with the so-called hog
program, has expended some $35, 5,000.-
600 for the purchase of pigs and piggy
sows. OF this amount, about $21 ,000.-
600 was expended for the purchase of
5.l04,9s4 pigs, which were destroyed

I'm statements issued by the de-
partment, 1t has been contended that
pigs weighing less than 80 pounds
could not be processed economically
and were not edible. I have always
felt that with the distress in the
country and the many people who
lack food that the greater portion OF
these pigs should have been used,
and that this waste could not be
justified.

very handsome pigs, each weighing
less than SO pounds, which have been

Bonding Company Asked to
Pay on Guarantee Against
Dishonesty.
ALLEGED DEFALCATI0N
OF STUNZ CASE BASIS
firm Builds Defense on Premise
Character of Client Changed
After 1929.

John F. Moran. receiver OF the Park
Savings Bank, filed suit in District
Supreme Court today against the
American Surety Co. of New York
seeking to collect $4,000 on an eX-
cess bond written by the surety COM
pany in 1881 guaranteeing the bank
against the dishonest acts" of its
employees.
The suit was based on alleged de-
falcationS by Robert S. Stunz, vice
president of the bank. who committed
suicide on March IA last when the
bank was refused license to reopen
after the banking holiday.
In the accompanying declaration, 1t
is charged that defalcations on the
part of Stunz approximated $780,
600, but no details are outlined to
show how it is alleged he got away
with the money.
Company Contested Action.
The American Surety Co.. defend
1nt in the new suit. recently paid to
the Park Savings Bank 100000 on
another bond known as the primary
bond covering losses alleged to have
been due to other persons. 1t is un-
derstood the surety company is con-
testing payment of this excess bond
on the basis of the alleged termina-
ton of the corporate life of the bank
in 1929. The theory understood to be
back of the surety company defense
is that the excess bond written in
1881, after the banks charter is al
legged to have expired in 1929, was not
written to cover the dishonest acts of
a bank of such character as the
Park Bank was in 1881.
It is known that American Surety
Co. auditors examined the books of
the Park Bank and that Stunzs al
Deged defalcatlons, approximating
100000, will not be contested. The
sole point at issue appears to be that
related to the corporate capacity of
the bank.
Other Actions Pending
This point of the corporate capacity
OF the bank is the subject Of bitterly
contested litigation in the Park Saw
ings Bank case, brought by the De-
positors' Committee against the bank.
its directors, and the Government.
This case. in equity, and several law
suits against directors of the bank. are
pending before Justice Jesse c. Ad-
kins in District Supreme Court.
In the case filed today the receiver
Is represented by J. Bruce Kremer and
G. B. Springston. The company is
asked to pay interest since March Is,
when the claim was filed, in addition
to the $4,000.
