have consented to appointment
of a conservator pending an
audit.
Chief Judge Roszel C. Thom-
sen named Walter E. Black. jr.,
Baltimore attorney and former
United States District Attorney
as conservator yesterday to
manage both firms while an
audit is made. Mr.. Black posted
a $35,000 bond.
Judge Thomson scheduled q
hearing August % on the SECS
request for appointment Of a
receiver for the savings and
loan firms.
Advertising Attacked
In its complaint, the COM
mission alleged that the saw
ings and loan firms violated the
National Securities Act, that
they were advertising fraudu-
lently for deposits and that it
appeared their assets were
questionable.
Judge Thomson ruled it was
within the power of the court
on application of the SEC to
appoint some sort of officer to
look into the situation. He de-
cided to appoint a conservator
with the consent of the defend
ants.
The SECS entrance into the
savings and loan field in cases
of suspected wrongdoing is
based on a broad concept of
what constitutes securities.
The agency's attorneys say
this broader Interpretation has
been supported in Supreme
Court decisions.
It is based on the idea that
any evidence of debt is a Sc
curity and that association
passbooks, which must be pre-
S:1ted for repayment of funds,
are in effect securities under
this broader Interpretation.
Regarded as Test
The Maryland case will fur
nish a test as to whether lower
courts and the appellate courts
will support this Interpretation
=. The broader Interpretation
has been used in a slightly diff
ferent situation on the West
Coast. The SEC won the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the
Los Angeles Trustees and Mort
gage Exchange. The lower
court named a receiver, but
the appellate court returned
the case for a full hearing
Again a receiver was named
and an appeal is pending or
this.
Maryland is the only State
which has no savings and loar
regulations. Regulatory legis'
lation was approved in the las
session of the Legislature, but
Gov. Tawes vetoed it on grounds
that it was inadequate.

PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:

PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:
Paul steadfastly set his face
toward Jerusalem in spite of
the bonds that awaited him
there. From Militus he sent for
the Ephesian elders and char
ged them to faithful Christian
service. A Christian is one
who lives life of unselfish
service, for the heart of the
faith he processes is essentially
that of service. Paul's adj
dress urged the leaders of the
church to feed the people of
the congregation see that
they are no spiritually under
nourished. He warned them
that wolves which would bring
about destruction may we'll be
expected. He points up that
generosity and thoughtful SER
vice are two great virtues of
the Christian.

DINING OUT
Surprise Up an Alley
By EMERSON BEAUCHAMP

It's rather startling to walk
down an alley and find an
Arabian restaurant in a con-
verted stable with a decidedly
early-American look about it.
And Charles Saah, owner of the
Iron Gate Inn, is still a little
surprised to find himself there.
For about seven years Mr..
Saah ran the Desert Inn in an
alley beside st. Matthew's
Cathedral. When that location
was sold out from under him a
year ago. he moved around the
block to the site of the old Iron
Gate Inn in the alley beside
1874 N street N.W.) kept the
name but brought his Arabian
cuisine with him. (There's an
American menu, too)
After eight years in an alley,
Mr.. Saah someday hopes to
find out what it's like to run
q restaurant that fronts on q
street. "a couple came in one
night and said they had been
looking for the place for two
hours" he recalls. Il said,
That's nothing; I think there
are people who've been looking
for a year and still haven't
found it.

Opposes Rise in
Realty uxes

The North Washingto o n
Council Of Citizens Associations
last night voted unanimously
to oppose a plan by the District
Commissioners to increase real
estate taxes.
1t was pointed out in the
resolution that although in
many cases the value Of prop
erty in the area has decreased,
year after year property as
sessments continue to in
crease"
The resolution further de-
clared "the city must keep its
tax bills at a lower level than
in the surrounding suburban
communities if it is to hold the
businesses it now has and II 1t
is to attract new ones" The
group also urged an increased
Federal payment.
A plan to convert tracts now
undeveloped in nearby Mary
land and Virginia into gigantic
fringe parking areas was dis
cussed and voted on favorably.
