ings and loan associations.
At issue are two pieces of
proposed legislation.
One would give Maryland its
first regulation of savings and
loan companies. Its major
provisions would set up a COM
mission to police the savings
and loan business, eliminate
multi-stock associations, curb
giveaways to attract depositors
and forbid associations from
dealing in second mortgages.
The other bill, introduced by
Delegate Joseph D. Tydings,
Democrat of Hartford, would
curb the operations of Security
Financial Insurance Corp, a
Maryland firm controlled by
two Canadian holding COM
panies. but run by several Bal
timore County Democratic
leaders.
TaweS in Middle
Gov. TaweS is caught in the
middle. The regulatory bill is
a major item in his legislative
program this year. He also IA
vors the Tydings bill but has
not spoken out on it because he
fears this might endanger the
measure.
Several legislators have said
the fight over the Tydings bill
Is creating animosities that may
be felt in many other legislative
matters.
Many legislators say they
are being subjected to terrific
preSsures for their votes.
Everything else is at a
standstill. This thing has
thrown a pail over the State
House" said Delegate Blair
Lee III, Democrat of Mont
gomery.
Officers of the Security FL
nancial have said the Tydings
bill probably would put the
company out of business. Among
the officers and directors are
A. Gordon Boone, Democratic
floor leader of the House; Del

A top public health official
estimated today that cost OF
removing all pollution from the
Potomac River and turning it
into an aquatic paradise" in
the Washington Metropolitan
area would be $500 to $500 mil
lion. .t
Mark D. Hollis, assistant sur
geon general, said that this is
his personal "guesstimate" OF
the expense Of putting the river
into ideal condition in this
area.
However, he said, as a prac-
tical matter, it is likely that
the program to clean up the
river will fall somewhere be-
tween preventing the river
from becoming a huge cesspool
and realizing the full potential
Of an absolutely clean river.
DIR. Hollis gave this opinion
in a speech at a meeting Of the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin at the
Hotel Burlington,
Wants Policy Clarified
He called for a clearer de-
termination Of public policy on
how clean the river should be
at Washington and below the
Capital.
DR.. Hollis warned that, al
though the $100 million pollu-
ton reduction program now
underway in the Metropolitan
Area will provide substantial
improvement, recreational uses
of the river will still be "far
short Of the full potential"

write on the deposits of any
one savings and loan associa-
ton, thus assuring that the
insurance company does not
overextend itself.
Although Gov. Tawes has
not taken a public stand on the
Tydings bill, his aides are col
laring legislators to drum up
support for it. Sources close
to the Governor say he would
make a public stand were he
not afraid Of endangering
the administrations regulatory
measure.
The Tydings bill has suffered
a setback in the House Bank
ing and Insurance Committee,
where it received an unfavor-
able report. Supporters plan a
floor fight. but apparently are
holding back in an attempt to
marshal support.
Mr.. Culver tried to force a
vote yesterday on the House
floor but failed. He said he
has taken an unmerciful beat
ing in the press" and that he
thought it quite unfair that
my wife and children be sub
jected to harassment and en-
barrasSment," which he says
has attended the arguments
over the bill. Mr.. Culver is
president of Security Financial.
McNeal Seeks Action
Delegate Edward McNeal,
Democrat of Baltimore City,
and chairman Of the Banking
and Insurance Committee, said
he may bring the bill to the
floor today.
Delegate Marvin Mandel,
chairman of the big Baltimore
City delegation. said the Tyd-
ings bill is creating dynamite"
in the General Assembly. He
said he would not vote for a
measure which would put a
company out Of business"
The main objections by legis-
lators appear to be provi-
sions which would prohibit
multi-stock associations and
will bar any of these associa-
tions from taking second mort
cages.
Most of the multi-stock COM
panies in Maryland have
sprung up in the past two
years. The traditional savings
and loan associations are mu-
tual firms which are theoreti-
cally controlled by the deposit
ors who are the stockholders.
In the multi-stock associations.
the voting stock is not in the
hands Of depositors but is held
by the organizers Of the COM
pany.
The Independent Savings
and Loan Council Of Maryland
issued a statement last night
objecting to several provisions
of the regulatory bill.
The group is made up Of
about 40 associations, most of
which are multi-stock firms.
They claimed the legislation
is aimed at fostering the big
federally insured companies
while driving out the small
associations.
The council said the multi
stock companies are as safe as
mutuals and there is no sound
reason for banning them.

cued a portrait of her great
grandfather. an early Virginia
Congressman, from a dim stor-

of Washington's city hall.
The portrait Of Philip Dodd-

anIsNeeded.
Testifies Grant
To Arlington Would
End Controversy

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, testified
today that his bill to grant
Virginia q part of the Shirley
Memorial highway is needed
to end a long controversy be-
tween the United States Public
Roads Bureau and the Vir-
ginia Highway Department.
The controversy, he
said, threatens to hold up the
construction of the interstate
highway systems southern en-
trance to Washington.
Mr.. Broyhill's bill would
grant the Arlington County
portion of Shirley to the State
provided that Virginia begin
work within a year to bring
the highway up to the stand
ards of the interstate system.
Bureau Wants Widening
The Public Roads Bureau is
in agreement with most of the
bill. The bureau wants Shirley
widened by two lanes and used
as part of the Nationwide
system. In fact. the bureau
will run out of Federal funds
to maintain Shirley in fiscal
1862.
But Mr.. Broyhill's bill, as dis
cussed today before the House
Roads Subcommittee, would
also designate a parallel high
way to be used along with Shir-
ley as part of the interstate
system.
Mr.. Broyhill said a widened
Shirley would still not be capa-
BILE Of carrying the traffic an
ticipated in the next few years.
Whitton Testifies
But Rex M. Whitton, ad-
ministrator of the Federal
Roads Bureau, said present
plans for a system using Shir-
ley only should not be changed.
Then he asked that Mr..
Broyhill's bill be amended to
give the rest Of the Pentagon
network to Virginia too.
Mr.. Broyhill said Virginia
needed an incentive" to accept
Shirley.
He said provision of a paral-
lei route would add the incen-
tive. But he urged that the
subcommittee approve the gift,
even with the incentive" re-
The Shirley situation,
he said, is an emergency"

young persons arrested in a
