AS of last December 81

Maryland. They had deposits
of nearly $1.1 billion.
There also were BAT unin-
sured companies with deposits
of $l94 million. Most were of
the small neighborhood type
of association.
Less than a half dozen firms
in Maryland claim to be in

Two Corporations Formed
Maryland is the only State
that does not regulate building

proposed regulation of the in
surance claims but his measure
did not pass.
Two corporations have been
formed in Maryland in the last

has been licensed by the State
Insurance Commissioner. One
of the. incorporators is A.

will be asked to disclose the
nature of their operations to
a Maryland legislative commit
tee under threat of subpoena
If they fail to cooperate.
A special Legislative Council
subcommittee yesterday agreed
to send out a QUESTIONABLE to
the some 400 savings and loan
associations as a prelude to a

will not get under way until
after the 1860 legislative ses-
sion.
The committee is headed by
Delegate Jerome Robinson,
Democrat of Baltimore City.
Yesterday, in a hastily called
meeting, the committee laid out
plans for the investigation and
agreed to recommend legiSla-
.tion at the 1860 session aimed
at curbing claims of "save-by-
mail" associations that have
sprung up in the State in the
last few years.
The committee voted to pro-
'hibit associations from adver-
-tiSing that their accounts are
insured unless they are insured
by a Federal agency or by a
commercial firm licensed to do
business in Maryland.

Those commercially insured
would have to carry in their ad-
