RULING AFFECTS
 BANK EMPLOYES
Federal Status Does Not Deprive Workers of Un=
 employment Benefits

A savings bank, organized under and subject to Connecticut laws, t not excepted from the operation ot the unemployment compensation law, even though the bank has sub- scribed for stock in the Fedora Home Loan Bank of Boston, Assist ant Attorney General Harry Silver. stone has advised Labor Commis- sioner Joseph M. Tone.
 According to Silverstone the ques. tion was whether by virtue of its stock membership in the Boston bank, a federal instrumentality, the Connecticut savings bank itself is likewise federal instrumentality and therefore exempt from the workings of the unemployment compensation law which, in Sec tion 803d-A, excepts from the defi- nition of employment, service per- formed in the employ of the United Ste6ec government, this state, any other state, any town or city or any political subdivision or instrument tality of any of them"
 The claim of the bank found SUD- port in ruling of the Bureau ot Internal Revenue made in Feb. 193T which asserts that savings banks chartered by the various states which are members of the fedora hcme loan bank system are instru- mentalities of the United States.
 This ruling of the bureau, Silver. stone said, has been repudiated by the supreme court of Kansas which after making an exhaustive review of authorities, concluded that the ruling was not correct. The court write:
 "We do not regard the plaintiff $ mere Stockholder membership in the Federal Home Loan bank of Topeka ... as sufficient to consider them federal instrumentalities, nor to re- leve them from making contribu- tions to the unemployment compen- sation fund.-"
 The well considreed opinion" ot 7.le supreme court of Kansas is more authoritative, Silverstone said he be- lieved, than the "ex parte adminis- trative ruling" of the Bureau of h. ternal Revenue, and the Connecti- cut savings bank cannot be declar- ed federal instrumentality nor can its employees be excepted from the provisions of the unemployment compensatin law.
 It is expected that Silverstone's decision applies also to building and loan associations and to savings and loan association
