More than 21.000 Mary
landers-most of them in the
near-Washington area - are
keeping a worried eye these
days on developments in the
savings and loan field.
While Christmas for them
may not be totally bleak, a
good deal of its happiness has
been dissipated in the last
month through actions over
which few, If any, Of them had
any control.
These actions have been the
naming of court-appointed re-
ceiverS and the freezing of all
activity. especially payments, in
three Maryland savings and
loan associations.
They had deposits totaling
more than S11.8 million. AS of
today nobody knows what the
shareholders persons who
brought their money to these
institutions - will realize on
their dollars.
Payments Promised
Receivers in all Of the cases
have promised to make a
prompt, efficient, economical
disposition of the assets of each
trouble-bound firm, to pay off
as much as they can, as quickly
as they can.
Typical of the bleak stories
is that Of a man who called
The Star this week.
What can I do? How can
I get my money? Why does the
Government allow thiS?" he
asked in a broken voice. These
are the same questions he and
others ask.
He had been i'll and hospita-
lized away from home for sew
trail months, he said. During
this time a close relative, at
tracted, he said, by the high
interest rates offered and prizes
given away by one of the firms,
had transferred his funds
some $5,000-from one financial
institution into the savings and
loan firm. The firm is now in
receivership.

Among several dozen business

turned out in opposition at the

Bernard Buckley, chairman Of

Buckley declared that it
would be "a serious mistake"
for the Council to permit the
creation of the stand, and said
the Board of Trade, In its plan
ming for the transit center in
the area, "at no time envisioned
a taxi stand on the street"
The Board of Trade, he said,
has repeatedly opposed the cab
stand proposal and has just as
strongly urged the complete re-

"The transit center has
proven such a success" he said,

Target of their arguments
was a proposed taxicab stand in
the 900 block of Pershing dr.,
which the Council two weeks
ago approved on the recommen-
dation of Director of Public
Works Joseph c. Kordella.
Time for presentation of that
proposal on October IL had
been set for the Councils after
noon session, at which its op-
ponents had expected to present
their case. An unanticipated
speed-up in disposing of agenda
items, however, brought the pro-
posal up in a morning session,
and the opposition found itself
deprived of a chance to speak.
1t was in response to protests
over so-called "railroading" of
the proposal that the Council
later decided to hold its deci-
sion in allegiance and allow its
opponents to be heard this
week.
