House Group Amends
Sovinqs and Loan Bill

Imittee approved every one OF
10 amendments offered by the
subcommittee. The most con-
troversial. however. is expected
to come up later today.
This is an amendment which
will recommend that multi
stock savings and loan asso-
Citations which were in exist
ence as Of January /, 1861. be
allowed to continue in business.
Clash Expected
The amendment, which is
expected to touch off a bitter
fight, would be a Gripping one
if it is approved by the full
committee. Most Of the savings
and loan industry is support
ing the bill because it would
outlaw the multi-stock associa- =
tionS which have sprung up in
recent years.
So far the bill, which has
the strong backing of Gov.
TaweS, has had relatively
smooth sailing in the General
Assembly.
Without the ban on multi
stock companies, the bill could
lose a good deal Of support
from some elements of the
savings and loan industry.
Accuse Each Other
Representatives Of the tradi-
tional mutual" type COM
panieS claim the activities of
the multi-stock firms have
given Maryland's savings and
loan business a black eye. The
multi-stock firms, on the
other hand. claim the bill is
an attempt to stifle competi-
ton.
For many years, the small
mutual companies have resisted
regulation while the big fedS
orally chartered and federally
insured firms have supported
regulation. The two groups
got together only after the
multi-stock associations began
to be organized on q broad
scale.
The main difference between
the multi-stock associations
and the mutual is in the owner
ship Of the voting stock. The
voting shares, and thereby the
control. in the stock companies
are usually held by a small
group Of investors. The voting
shares in mutuals are held by
depositors and borrowers, al
though they frequently are not
aware Of their voting power.
In hearings before the Gen
eral Assembly. the proposals Of
the administrations bill ac-
cused the multi-stock firms of
financial practices
and gaudy and misleading pro-
motional activities.
The administrations bill
would limit the value Of prizes
to attract depositorS to $3.50.
The subcommittee is expected
to ask that this be increased.
The $3.50 amendment is de-
signed to halt the giveaway of
expensive items such as mink
stoles and television sets

Million Tax Loss Seen
In Open Spaces Bill

A citizens committee yester-
day urged the Montgomery
County Council to help recover
what committeeman described
as a tax loss of 81 million q
year.
The Citizens Committee for
Fair Taxation asked council
support ito restore taxes lille
gally being lost to the tax rolls. A"
Darius v. Phillips, chairman
of the group, charged that Ger
tain large landowners" are re-
ceiving illegal reductions in
assessments"
He called upon the council
to support amendments to a
land assessments bill now be-
fore the legislature. He said
the bill at present would per
petuate a million dollars of tax
reductions for the large land
owners at the expense Of the
homeowners under the guise Of
helping the farmer and of pre-
serving open spaces"
His bid, however, ran into
serious snags over a letter to
Council President William F.
Hickey asking for time to ap-
pear before the group.
The message included a re-
quest that Councilmen Jerry
T. Williams and Grover T. Wal
ker disqualify themselves in
considering such matters very

personal fortunes" Both men,

implied a conflict of interest.

hoon said that it would be lust

qualify ourselves because we
are homeowners and taxpay-
ers."
Even mild-mannered Coun-
cilwoman Stella Werner de-
nounced the letter as very
unfortunate" but urged the
council to listen to Mr.. Phillips
proposals next week. The mem
berS agreed, and placed the let
ter in the councils official rec
ord for later study.
Both upper county council
men said they would disqualify
themselves on matters concern
ing their property exclusively,
but would act on any general
policies as they always have.
The council also heard COM
plants from another citizen,
Fon j. Montgomery, a Silver
Spring architect, who indicated
that present planning for Sill
yer Spring was both inadequate
and ill-conceived.
Sees Value Decline
He declared that "the plan
ners you're relying on have
come up with no workable, fea-
Sible project"
Meanwhile, he said, Silver
Spring continues to diminish in
value.
There was bad news, too,
from Roland E. Jones of the
State Road Committee. He said
that $40 million is needed for
the county's secondary roads in
the next is years, but that only
a fraction Of amount is in sight.
I'VE must fill the gap from
some place." he said while de-
to suggest that a new
tax was necessary.
The council also received a
recommendation from the rec
reation board urging construc-
ton of a public pool. Rockville
officials recently made the
same recommendation, noting
that there are presently no
public pools anywhere in the
county.

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 1.-The
House Ways and Means Com
mittee today began tacking
amendments to the admin
iStration's savings and loan
regulatory bill after a sub
committee chairman said the
bill was not sacroSanct.
IF the legislature doesn't
retain the right to amend a
bill as it sees fit. we may as
well have government by COM
mission" said Delegate Marvin
Mandel, Democrat of Baltimore
City, who heads a subcommittee
which studied the bill before
it was taken up by the full
committee today.
Z There was q warning by Dele
gate Blair Lee III, Democrat

tampering with the admin
istration's bill might result in
a loss of support and endanger
its chances of passing.
Mr.. Mandel said he con-
Sidered the amendment being
offered by the subcommittee
would strengthen the bill.
Would Reveal Salaries
One of the amendments ap-
proved by the full committee
would require all savings and
loan associations to have q
certified public accountant pre-
pare an annual financial state
ment which would disclose the
salaries and expenses of the
individual officers and di-
rectorS.
Mr.. Lee particularly objected
TO this amendment on the
ground that this type of in
formation is not required Of
any other business corporation.
He said he believed the amend
ment sis designed to defeat
this bill"
The amendment would re-
quire that the disclosure be
made to the director of a new
department to police the saw
ings and loan business and that |
it would be available in the
directors office to shareholders |
on request.
Seek Revised Group
The Ways and Means Com
mittee also approved an amend
ment which would rewrite the
bills provision regarding COM
position of the new commission
which would be the policy
making body in regulating the |
industry. AS presently written
the bill would place six mem
bers on the board from the

one from the general public. |
The amendment would require
that four be appointed from |

from the industry.
The committee also took out |
