STATE BANKING
FOLLOWED hint
OF WATERBURY
Examination of All Banks
in Receivership to Be
Carried Out

Hartford, Conn, April 3.-UP)
-(UP)-Periodic examination by
the state banking department of
banks in receivership will be I'M
dertaken as result of a plan agreed
upon by superior court judges and
Bank Commissioner Walter Perry.
The first hint of state supervision
of closed banks came late yester-
day with the filing of an applica-
ton at Waterbury by the receiver
for the defunct Merchants Trust
company, for authority to call in
state examiners at regular intervals
to go over accounts. Chief justice
of the supreme court, William NJ.
Maltbie, last night announced the
plan as experimental and would be
abandoned If found unavoidable.
The judges are of the opinion
that it would be wise to put such
a plan into effect" he said, feel
ing that thereby the depositors in
these banks will have a greater as
surance that they are being admin
istered for their best interests and
that the experience of the members
of the banking department may
result in valuable suggestions as to
the best methods to pursue.
1.-THE plan is to compensate the
banking department for the work
it will have to do substantially up
on the basis of actual cost, and
while only by experience can the
amount of the necessary charges
be determined, they will in all lik-
lihood be extremely reasonable in
view of the advantages secured. The
plan will be put into effect as soon
as the necessary details can be ar
ranged"

FRENCH CIRCLES
MUCH PUZZLED
German Nazi, Expedition Is
Reported on Way to
Help Tribesmen

= Paris, April 3-(UP)-French
circles were puzzled and inclined to
be amused today by the circula-
ton of reports that a German Nazi
expedition" was en- route by
steamer to aid tribesmen in French
Morocco.
Because there has been private
gun running into Morocco, the for
eign office investigated a report
that the German dispatch boat
Optimist, left Rotterdam on March
81, carrying ten Nazis and a car
go or arms for Morocco. The idea
that any such expedition was con-
official German aid or approval,
was dismissed as absurd.
A report that French posts in
Morocco had been ordered on the
alert against the expedition" was
described by a foreign Office
spokesman as perfectly childish"
1--WE have no positive informa-
tion," he said, land therefore 1T
is ridiculous to say that we have
warned our Moroccan posts and
advised Spain of the matter"
He added that il the reports
were confirmed, Madrid's coopera-
ton might be asked. The reports
were published in the Paris Soir,
an afternoon paper, which said
the Optimist would land at the
Spanish colony of Ifni, where thou
sands of tribesmen under the
leader Merebbi Rebbo have taken
refuge against the French drive
to clear Morocco of opposing
tribesmen.
