nlzed by bankers except on the
most selective basis for deposit
tors that maintain large stable
accounts. Many banks will
charge fee for such service.
Some New York banks, with
large insurance companies as
clients. have accepted the idea
on a selective basis. but bankers
say insurance people apparently
are attempting to give the i'm
preston that the idea is accept
able generally among banks for
all depositors.
The American Bankers Asso-
citation in the last week reiter-
ated its strong opposition to such
plans as q matter Of principle
and most Of Its members, includ-
ing Washington banks. are in
agreement.
1.-THE possibility Of having q
substantial quantity Of de-
positors' checks drawn by q third
party Is a matter Of deep con-
Germ, as we believe 1t to be fun
damentally wrong for the de-
positor. In a sense. to lose con-
troll of his account and opera
tionally wrong from the point
Of view of the banks" said a
statement from the ABA's Bank
Management Commission.
Increase In Overdrafts
And Forgeries Feared
Despite some notifications to
meet bankers objections, the
plans still do not provide for
notifying of depositors each
month Of the drawing of q
check and consequently over
drafts and returns are likely to
increase. the commission warned.
The bankers also fear intro
Iduction into the banking system
Iof a new instrument that is
susceptible Of forgery and yet
most difficult to detect.
Proponents Of these plans
advocate permitting bookkeepers
to pay these items without any
checking whatsoever. This would
tend to laxity in payment Of
regular items. The procedure for
properly paying these checks"
Is cumbersome. and the cost can
reasonably be expected to in
crease II more and more insur-
ance companies and other
companies adopt the plans"
Some banks already have in
stituted charges for these special
items in recognition Of the ad-
ditional costs, the statement
declared.

particular concern over the al
