FHLBB Chief
Urges Closer


Closer cooperation between
and loan executives and
field examiners of the Federal
Home Loan Bank System was
advocated by Chairman Joseph
P. McMurray of the Federal
Home Loan Board today as a
of avoiding legal contro-
versies.
Addressing the United States
Savings & Loan convention in
Chicago. Mr.. McMurray said it
appeared to him that disagree
ments in a number of cases
could have been avoided if. on
the one hand, adequate records
had been made available to the
supervisor and on the other
hand, if the supervisor has
made his inquiries without any
preconceived ideas, prejudice
or bias.
Those being supervised
should recognize the RESPONSE
bility of the supervisor" he
emphasized. Associations
should attempt to understand
his position and to offer suf-
ficient information and ex-
planation so that the super
visor can perceive the basis on
which the association reached
its decision.
Better Methods Sought
The board will strive in
every way to improve the pro-
cedures and techniques in the
area of written regulation, field
examination and supervision"
he pledged.
I'VE hope this will be
matched by increased recogni-
ton in the industry of the need
for clear-cut internal policies
and procedures by associations
to avoid misunderstanding or
juStifiable apprehension on the
part of the supervisor" he
added.
THE question of unsafe and
unSound practices has been, as
you know, a vexing problem.
There are those who feel we
should supervise on the basis
of specific legal and regulatory
restrictions only. Let me point
out some inherent dangers in
this view.
II every possible transgres-
sion were thought of and put
IN writing, either the industry
would be in a straight Jacket
with no flexibility or resiliency
or the supervisor would be
custodian of a mountain of
meaningless, ineffective reading
matter"
Bankers Scored
The commercial banking
campaign to change the saw
ing and loans tax law is no
more than an hypocritical at
tempt to destroy legitimate
competition, President c. Ell
wood Knapp of the league
charged in another convention
talk.
All we have done is try to
defend ourselves against an un-
provoked attack. I think our
defense has been effective. 1
propose that we continue to
fight every inch of the way"
he said.
Mr.. Knapp pointed out
the American Bankers AS
sociation and other commercial
banking groups are seeking the
reduction of the savings and
loan bad debt reserve tax de-
duction from the present IL per
cent of savings to the CONNER
cial bank level of 2 or 8 per
cent.
Asserting that "the real OBJ
jective of the commercial banks
is to cut savings and loan as
sociation dividends and ability
to compete for savings" the
League president supported his
charge Of hypocrisy by citing
repeated admissions made by
these same banking groups that
greater bad debt reserves are
needed.
He warned that IF such a
crushing change were made in
the law. it is ineScapable that
the impact on home building
would be drastic and far-reach-
ing"

I am afraid often it is the
writer's who put the color
scare into you" I read an ad
on a new book on color that
purports to disclose "the
practical meaning Of percep-
ton psychology for modern
decorators" Now, what in the
world does that mean when
all you want to do is decorate
a room?
Color should be the least
worry because it so easily can
be changed if it doesn't come
up to your expectations.
Wallpaper and paint don't
have to be costly, and very
smart fabric can be found at
budget prices. Now if you
make a mistake with the type
of sofa you have bought, that
is another matter. You prob
ably will have to get along

you suddenly yearn for a

expensive an item to have a

derful sense of color and

fore, in congratulating Chief Murray on

During the ten years Chief Murray
has reorganized many departmental
functions to keep pace with law enforce

effectively with crime. He has sponsored
rigid training methods, new technol-
ogical and scientific aids to the police,
a tactical system of mobile detective
squads, co-ordinated inspection districts,
youth aid division, canine corps and
many other Improvements. With it all
he has inStilled an esprit de corps among

and has won him the commentator of

the department will continue to have
the benefit of Chief Murray'S competent
services for years to come.

All in the Days Work

Lieutenant Colonel John H. Glenn's
reaction to his designation as Americas
first globe-circling astronaut was typical
of "hot pilot" whose GOODNESS in
emergencies has been demonstrated on
numerous occasions. The 40-year- old
Marine veteran of many combat flights
against the Japanese in World War II
and against Communist MICS in Korea
made it plain in news interviews that
his forthcoming orbital venture will be
all in the days work. 1t is easy to under
stand why Colonel Glenn and his fellow
astronauts we're picked for their historic
assignments.
Like the six other "hot pilots" of
the honored group, Colonel Glenn knows
what it is to take risks, to face mortal
danger and to make split-second de-
cisions of the type which may be required
in riding rocket into space. Three
score fighter bomber missions during
the Pacific War and a hundred sorties
in Korea, during most of which the
enemy suffered more than he did, won
him medals and citations attesting his
courage, skill and SteeI-nerved endur-
ance. Air Force Major Donald Slayton,
chosen for the second orbital venture,
has similarly outstanding record as
combat flyer and test pilot
1t is clear, therefore, that the men
picked to make this Nations pioneering
flights in orbit around the earth are
less excited and concerned about the
prospect than average Americans And
we would like to pay our respects, withal,
to the wives and other relatives of these
daring mentor they seem to have
caught the "all in the days work" spirit
of the astronautS themselves.

Stout Fellow

There are many ways in which
Winston Churchill continues to amaze
and fascinate his vast number of ad-
mirers. And certainly on the occasion
of his 87th birthday it was not surprising
that the House of Commons abandoned
all party divisions to join in a rousing
welcome to this great and beloved fellow
member, Britain's wartime Prime Min
lister and the most inspirational leader
of "the grand alliance" of World War H.
Quite properly, too, the story of his
birthday was widely reported in full
detail, and it is through this circum-
stance that we are led to express new
wonder at the measure of the man. For
breakfast in bed, for example, he had
fruit juice, porridge, bacon and eggs,
toast and coffee. With the morning
mail, heavier that day than usual, he
had cigars. At lunch there we're oysters,
lamb chops, vegetables and champagne.
At tea time, there was birthday cake
with the tea. For dinner, menu fit
for the occasion was topped with coffee,
brandy and more cigars. A stout fellow,
this, and we join with all others in the
confident hope that he will have many
happy returns of the day.

White House Pickets

Your recent editorial, En-

puzzling one. 1t disparages
President Kennedy for di-
recting his staff to invite Is
college students who were
picketing against a t nuclear
war into the White House for
coffee. 1t deploreS McGeorge
Bundy's discussion with
them.
What is our ideal of gov
ernment, anyway? We Wig
orously castigate dictator
ships in which dissent is
discouraged or completely
suppressed. Yet the writer of
the above editorial would
seem to be urging the United
States Government in this
direction. The right Of the
people to peaceably assemble
and petition their Govern
ment is guaranteed under the
First Amendment. Should any
public official, then, be criti-
cized for indicating he has
heard the petitioners, or is
interested in what they have
to say?
When is individual liberty
most secure-where the right
of petition and peaceable as
sembly is encouraged, where
Government officials listen
attentively when thoughtful
people speaker where the
apathy of a dead conformity
blankets the Nation?
