most resembling the one he
saw.
Mr.. Gibson, who said he Is
suffering from a heart condi-
ton, confirmed that Tommy
had brought the gun home and
said he put it in the family

Agent Richard C. Burriss
testified only that he inter-
viewed Mrs. Jensen July 5, 1860,
after interviews the previous
month with musicians Graydon
Parker and William H. Garren.
Efforts by the Government
to question q North Carolina

ton was denied. Col. William

N. c.. was asked If parents were
cuStomarily notified when a boy
Is expelled. He was not allowed
to answer the question and
departed the stand, the last

Case Set for Fight 7 onight
On Soviings and Loan Bill

The Case bill would outlaw
the creation Of multi-stocE
saving and loan associations
Those in existence would have
to change to mutual compa-
MES, change their names or &c
out Of business.
A multi-Stock company is
one In which the voting stock
is held by q small group while
those who put their savings in
them get non-voting stock. In
q mutual company, the tradi-
tional type organized in Mary
land, the voting stock is held by
the savers.
The Case bill also would pro-
hibit associations from invest
ing in second mortgages and
would restrict the value of
giveaways used to attract de-
positors to $2.50. It would set
up a new agency with broad
powers to police the industry.
The multi-stock and second
mortgage bans and the re-
striction on giveaways appear
to be the most controversial
provisions Of the bill.
Mr.. Case said that "9S per
cent" of the savings and loan
industry Is behind the bill.
Tydings Bill Passes House
Another piece Of savings and
loan legislation sailed through
the House Of Delegates last
night with only one dissenting
vote. This is q bill which would
restrict the operations Of Se-
curity Financial Insurance
Corp, q company which in
SureS depositors In savings and
loan associations and Is run by
three members Of the House
and other. Baltimore County
Democratic leaders.
The bill, introduced by Dele
gate Joseph D. Tydings, Demo
crat Of Hartford, would prohibit
any company from insurins
deposits in any single aSSocia-
ton in excess Of 10 per cent OF
the insuring firms assets.
The bill created q bitter bat
tie when the three legislators in
Security Financial-Delegate
A. Gordon Boone, Charles r
Culver and Roy N. Staten, ali
Of Baltimore County-tried to
kill 1t originally. The issue was
settled when a compromise was
reached giving Security Finan-
cial two years to bring its exist
ing insurance in line with pro-
visions Of the bill.
The three Baltimore County
legislators excused themselves
from voting last night.
The lone dissenting vote was
cast by Carl Bacharach. Demo-
crat Of Baltimore City, who
felt 1t would create a monopoly
for Security Financial.

VIENNA R - Christians cus- tosas in Austria, where tradition is heN sacred, have changed only atfhs in the past hundred years and Cilristmas sti1l is the most im- portant holiday for the Austrians.
 In fact. the only substantial change about 90 years ago when Austrians broke with the custom of having the Christmas tree, top pointing downward, hanging from a crossbeam of the ceiling. 1n- stead, 1t is placed on table or on the floor, standing up.
 Austrian experts on customs say that gifts have grown in size and that about 50 years ago, only token gifts" were exchanged while more substantial gifts were left to Jan. !.

Hit 5 Provinces

TORONTO, June 81 tAP)
Forest fires continued their
course of destruction through

No relief was in sight for

In Newfoundland. the little
community of Dover in the
Hare Bay area began evacua-
ton amid reports of arson and
sabotage in the district.
Authorities said arson was
believed responsible for a fire
that leveled 25,000 acres OF
spruce and fur. In the COM
munity Of Hare Bay a fire hose
was cut at the height of a
blaze that destroyed IL houses
and carrying straps on porta-
BILE water tanks mySteriously
disappeared.
The most serious of the
provinces fires were believed
to be burning in a Smile cir
Gle around the community OF
Trinity but no one could be
sure of the distance because OF
heavy smoke.
Another blaze, believed IS
miles long and 7 miles wide
appeared to have burned to
within Ia miles of Gandel

Trans-Canada highway.
