BY EDWARD C. STONE.

About 25 prominent Washington
financiers and probably as many
more from the Federal Reserve
Board, Treasury and other Gov
ernment agencies, have arranged to
attend the 66th annual convention
of the American Bankers Associa-
ton. which opens with committee
meetings at Atlantic City Sunday
and will get under full speed on
Monday, it was learned in the fl
snancial district today.
Every State in the Union will be
represented and it is believed more
than 1000 bankers will attend. The
program calls for discussions on
bank management, credit, loans,
wage and hour problems, reports on
the present banking situation and
the outlook. The financial aspects
OF the national defense program,
and banking legislation pending be-
fore Congress will also get plenty
of attention. Because of world con-
ditions, the meeting is considered
lone of the most important in many
years.
