Anchorage Bank Closed Two Officials Indicted
Stan McCufcheon Held On Grand Jury Order

On Grand Jury Order
 The Territorial Banking Board closed the Union Bank of Anchorage at noon Thurs day. A short time later Bank President Andrew Hassman and Stanley McCutcheon, a. mother official, surrendered to the Federal Jail on seven counts of failure to abide by Banking Board orders or Ter ritorial Banking laws.
 The two men were freed on $3,000 bail each. McCutcheon is the Democratic National committeeman and former Ter ritorial Legislator.
 McCutcheon and HassmaE both denied any wrongdoings and said the charges were politically inspired. McCutcheon said the alleged loan violations are of a tech nical nature" and added. These charges carry no evidence of dishonesty. If we violated any banking laws, we did so inadvertently. The Union Bank is solvent and in the unique position of being able to pay it's demand deposits to the last dollar and have a substantial sum left over. '
 The Union Bank of Anchor age is not a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which insures als deposits to $10,000.
 The Federal Grand Jury in- dictments accused Hassman and McCutcoeon of making loans in exess of the legal limits, including one of $130, 415 to the Matanuska Hotel at Palmer in 1949; failure to hold meetings of stockholders / failure to obey Bank Board orders.
 The Union Bank of Anchor age will be closed until further notice.
 U. s. Federal Judge An thony J. Dimond later ap- pointed George Jones, Anchor age accountant, as tempor- sry receiver. He will have custody of the banks assets until a decision is reached in the matter.
 The United Fishermen s;of Alaska and the affiliated can nery workers union both had accounts in the bank, Joe Kep- rigan, union secretary, told the MIRROR yesterday.

David Bucy Injured

DdVsU ouCy sUyuFGO
 Two young Kodiak youths were killed and a third injured late last Friday night when a 1922 Buick crashed off a taxi way into the Buskin River at Kodiak Naval Station.
 Those killed were George Beukers, IT, son of MT. and Mrs. Jan Beukers. and Edward May, IS, son of MT. and Mrs. Harold Jonas. David Buoy, l9, son of Major L. Buoy, former ASC officer in charge at Ko- diak, was injured.
 The three youths had at- tended the Turkey Carnival at the station and were enroute to town when the accident oc- cured. Rain and wind made visibility poor, Buoy testified at an inquest held Monday. The 10 year old car was travel ing between 30 and 40 miles an hour down the taxiway and crashed over an eight foot en- bankment at the end. The, taxiway is not a road and is restricted to official crash trucks and planes.
 Buoy was thrown or crawled from the overturned car which was partly submerged in the Buskin River. He made his way up the embankment and went to the crash hangar for assistance. At the inquest Buoy testified that he has no recollection of being thrown or climbing from the vehicle.
 Testimony by Navy Doctor Ross c. Speer revealed that May and Beukers died by drowning. It is believed they were rendered unconscious by the crash.
 While travelling on the taxi way the lights of the car were off so that the Military Police or members of the crash crew or tower could not see the car.
 Beukers was employed by the City of Kodiak. May was a senior student in the Kodiak High School. Both youths were we'll known and popular in Kodiak with both young and old.
 Buoy received treatment for his injures at the Naval Sta- tion Hospital but was able to attend the inquest which was held before US. Commissioner A. M. Vokacek Monday after noon. His father is now sta toned at San Francisco with the sixth Army.

Concluded from Tuesday,
Before closing the other side of
the story on Pastor Oleson and
the Church Council we must take
ouf readers to the Parish Hall
where a congregational meeting
was called for the night Of Febru-
ary 25th, 1852.
The days preceding the meeting
were sweltering ones. The mem
bers of the congregation were be-
ing prepared for something I'M
usual. We have already stated
that Pastor Oleson had threatened
MI. Brodhurst to resign from the
Church Council or be sorry for
what would happen. We learn
thct Pastor Oleson motored over
the rough roads near the base Of
Mt. Eagle to induce one man to
attend the meeting. Of course he
did not attend.
AS the time approached agita-
ton waxed hot among the small
congregation. As flooring Of sus-
picion was laid, partitions Of i'll
will were built, and then a ceiling
Of accusations was set above.
Pattern Of an underground propa-.
ganda was let loose BY persons IN
terested in the persecution. There
was a character assassination at
tempted against all who might
visit the house IN Pleasant Grove.
This dangerous phase was as ina
ginative as it was wide. Like all
SANDER, it was as if throwing
feathers to the wind.
The story Of all that would hap
pen iii Pleasant Grove and the
wrongs that would be inflicted on
the morals Of few residents on the
property would be done with the
knowledge, consent and conni-
vance of the Church Council.
When friends advised Mrs de
Chabert Of the agitation she was
surprised and disguised. Her re-
action was immediate resignation
from the Church Council Oh the
ground that the entire conduct
was Of an unchristian nature. she
had enjoyed working in the
Church under different pastors, as
choir member, Sunday School
teacher and as a member of the
Council: She told her friends that
her Church was no longer a place
Of consolation prayer and brother
hood, but rather one Of strife and
enmity.
Other members Of the Council
said they would not be swamped.
by the wave Of agitation.
AT the congregational meeting
were seen people who had not
entered the doors Of the Church
for many years,

Take the Painless Cure
The sun in these parts is par

and modern. They call them Sum-
Liners because they swing across
via the warm Sun-Lane, where
87% of the days are rain-free,
according to 100-year averages of
official weather records. They'll
give you a full week to unwind,
with breakfast in bed if you
want it, hot bouillon in a deck
chair at eleven, lunch in one of
the worlds best restaurants
af1oat or affixed, tea at four, and
a swank dinner with French
table wines at prices that France
can't match.
Laugh at Winter
Sit by the open pool and wait
for the Spanish coast to arrive
off the bow. The Constitution and
the Independence both stop at
Gibraltar for those who want to
laugh at winter in Spain. They
also put in at Cannes, right on
the French Riviera, at Genoa in
the center of the Italian Riviera
and at Naples, whence it is but a
short ride down to Sorrento and
Amalfi or over to the make-be-
lieve island of Capri. There in

ords the passing hours though
