Z Large Banks Plan
Merger in New York
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 14.-Plans
to merge the Manufacturers Trust
Co. and the New York Trust Co.,
to form a new bank that would
rank as the country's fourth larg-
est. were announced today.
The new bank, to be known as
the New York Manufacturers
Trust Co.. would hold combined
deposits of more than SO billion.
1t would rank behind the Bank
of America, National Trust & Saw
Iings Association, San Francisco:
the City National Bank of New
York and the Chase National
Bank, New York.
Approval by stockholders of the
two merging banks and authoriza-
ton of the New York State super
intendent of banks, is required
before the merger becomes effec-
tive. Stockholders of Manufac-
turers Trust would receive one
share of the new banks stock for
each share held. and holders of
New York Trust could receive one
and two-thirds shares for each
share held.
Horace c. Flanagan, president
of Manufacturers Trust, would
become chairman and chief ex-
ecutive officer of the new bank
and Charles j. Stewart, president
of New York Trust, would become
president of the new institution.
Although there have been
nearly a dozen completed bank
mergers in New York since 1948,
the present one is the largest
since the bank holiday in 1888.
Last year negotiations were
started on a merger of Chase Ma
tional and the Bank of the Man
haitian, but these were abandoned
because of inability to overcome
certain charter provisions of the
latter.

Democrat. of California, spon-
sored bill to permit voluntary
payroll deduction of Federal en-
ployes' salaries for health, sur
gical, accident and life insurance
benefits.
The measure would permit agen-
cieS to deduct the cost of these
group benefits from an employees
pay check, if the worker so re-
quested it.
This would insure mass partici-
patton by Federal workers and
result in lower rates for them, Mr..
Miller declared. He said Federal
workers generally lag behind pri-
vate industry workers in the mat
ter of these benefits, primarily be-
cause many private companies
have voluntary payroll deduction
plans.
While Mr.. Miller said he did not
expect Congress to approve such
a bill this year, he said he intro
duced it to bring the matter to
the attention of Congress so action
can be taken next year.

If Mr.. Updike could have his

would be completely unopposed.
His candidacy was all a mistake,
he explained, and he won't &C

Mr.. Updike originally was sup

them.
In Utah, Justin Stewart, leader
in the Utah Cooperative Association,
likewise spoke warmly of Benson and
his appointment.
Naming of Benson came as some
what of a surprise to many observers
here. They had seen Rep. Clifford
Hope and Gov. Frank Carlson of
Kansas as the most likely choices,
with John Davis, former secretary of
the National Council of Farmer Co
operatives as another possibility.
Benson was Davis predecessor in
the Council position from 1887 to
1914. He is now chairman of the
board of trustees of the American
Institute of Cooperation.
in private conversation he has des-
cribed the church and co-operatives
as the two main influences in his
life. He is a high official of the
Church of Latter Day Saints (Mor-
mon.)
Benson has been sharply critical
of further expansion of government
power in agriculture. He believes in
organization of farm co-operatives as
the best means of using Individual
initiative in modern-day farming. He
has repeatedly emphasized that farm
ers should lean less. on government
aid and depend more on their CO.
operatives.
He is expected to place emphasis
in USDA on marketing rather than
since this has been his
speciality. He has a bachelor of
science degree from Brigham Young
University and a master of science
from Iowa State College. He served
as county agent and later extension
economist and marketing specialist
at the University of Idaho. He helped
the Idaho Cooperative Coun
I'll and as secretary, represented this
group in Washington. Through this
work he was appointed as National
Council secretary in 1889.
AS a youth, Benson served the
Mormon church as a missionary in
Europe. In 1916 he served briefly as
mission president and reported the
