COL. COOPER PRESSES
FOR BANKS OPENING
Answers Merger Report With
Statement He Is Fighting
Court Decision.

In the face of reports that the United
States Savings Bank eventually would
be merged into the new Mechanics
Franklin Savings Bank merger, now in
formation, Col. Wade H. Cooper, presi-
dent of the United States Savings Bank,
today said that his efforts for the pres
ent were concentrated on appealing
from an adverse decision in District Su-
preme Court involving the bank.
Reports were persistent in the finan-
cial district today that should Col.
Cooper fail to reopen the bank alone,
the most likely development would be
to make it branch of the new merger.
While neither Government officials nor
officers of the merger would discuss the
matter today. it has been an open Sc
cret for some time that no opposition
would be raised by either of them for
some satisfactory plan for adding the
United States Savings Bank to the
merger. which already includes three
banks.
