Move to Kill
Savings Bill
BY a Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, April The
sponsor of bill aimed at pre-
venting multi-stock savings
and loan associations from
dumping stock on the market
before a new Maryland regu-
latory bill goes into effect
charged last night that at
tempts are being made to kill
the legislation.
Senator John-Clarence North,
head of the Banking and In
surance Committee, sponsored
an emergency bill after Mary
land Attorney General Thomas
B. Finan said that some saw
ingS and loan associations were
preparing large issues of stock.
Under the Case bill enacted
by the General Assembly and
signed by Gov. Tawes a few
days ago, the multi-stock saw
ings and loan associations
would have to get approval of
a new seven-nember regula-
tory board before they could
sell stock. But the Case bill
does not go into effect until
June l.
Senator North's bill would
require the associations to get
approval from the attorney
general for stock sales until
the Case bill goes into effect.

Senate and is in the House
Ways and Means Committee.

crat of Baltimore County, yes

The State cigarette tax,
which is opposed by the to-
