Creditors of the financial
Impressed Mutual Security
Savings and Loan Associa-
ton beat the State of Mary
land to the punch last week
in having the firm thrown into
receivership.
The creditors petition, grant
ed Friday by Circuit Court

initiated the actions under
which two other uninsured
savings and loan associations
operating in the suburban
Maryland area have been order
ed into receivership within the
past month.
After Judge Anderson's ac-
ton, Assistant Attorney Gen.

that the State is seriously con-

Under the new law governing
the operations of building or
savings and loan associations,
he said, the State has the right
to step into any legal action to
protect the public's invest
ments.
The attorney for Mutual
Security, Charles S. Sures, con-
ferred with members of the At
torney Generals office about
the firms financial position
early last week.
On the basis of this CONVEX
sation and other information,
State authorities were working
on a receivership action against
the firm when news of Judge
Anderson's ruling granting the
creditors petition reached them.
