Suit Filed 10 Prevent
S.E.C.Dise|osingD Data
On Bank Of America
Move Made With Hearing
On Possible Suspension
Of Tronsomericu Trudinq
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Attorney Donald R. Richberg an
nounced today the filing of suit
In Federal District Court here to
prevent the Securities and Exchange
Commission from obtaining and
publishing information concerning
the affairs of the Bank of America,
big West Coast branch banking
chain.
Mr.. Richberg, former N. R. A.
administrator, told of his request for
an injunction at the beginning of
an S. E. c. hearing to determine
Corp, $lO0000,0O0 investment COM
pany, should be suspended from
trading on exchanges in New York,
Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Transamerica formerly owned
the Bank of America National Trust
and Savings Association.
False Reports Charged.
The S. E. c. hearing involves
charges that TranSamerica had
made false financial reports.
Mr.. Richberg contended the COM
mission had no jurisdiction concern
ing the Bank of America.
Sis suit was based, he said, on
the theory that the commission was
without authority to investigate
matters concerning the bank and
was acting contrary to law in max
ing public information which the
law requires be kept confidential.
Mr.. Richberg also attacked the
legality of the whole commission
proceeding against Transamerica.
He said the remedy for false and
misleading statements was not a
proceeding looking toward an order
suspending stock of the corporation
flom trading The law provides other
civil and criminal liabilities for false
statements, he said.
No Bar to ct-Finding.
The former N. r. A. chief said
TranSamerica was not asking the
commission to stop investigation in
80 far as it was fact-finding pro-
ceeding, but he indicated that his
client was preparing for a possible
appeal to the courts in case of an
adverse commission order
In its proceedings, the S. E. c. has
said it had reasonable grounds to
believe Transamerica's applications
for registration of stock under the
, Securities and Exchange Act of
1884 contained false and misleading
statements of material facts.
o. John Rogge. assistant general
counsel of the S. E. c., asked to call
w. L. Andrews, treasurer and chief
accounting officer of Transamerica
and several subsidiaries. Commits
sion officials said Andrews would be
