Se1A SSoAA "AAsCA
About 10000 persons, nearly
all Of them in nearby Mary
land, are wondering these day
what has become of the more
than SIG million they entrusted
to nine savings and loan asso-
Citations which have been closed
by the courts in the last eight
months.
Six Of the closed associa-
tions, it appears, will never
open their doors again. Two
others are struggling to get
back on their feet and the
ninth has gone into the mort
gage investment business in an
attempt to recoup the money
to pay off its shareholders.
Although the worst is be-
lieved to be over, there is 9
possibility of further action
against other savings and loan
institutions.
Meanwhile, grand jury in
vestigations sponsored by Fed
eral and State authorities are
being prepared on the firms al
ready closed.
Two questions are upper
most as the smoke of the saw
ings and loan debacle begins
to clear: Why did it happen?
And what can be salvaged?
Controls Long Delayed
Put briefly, the facts are
these:
For many years, Maryland
had no law regulating savings
and loan operations; anything
went, in the competition for thu
savings dollars. Then, afte1
much political pulling anc
hauling, a law was passed las

where it believed the support

suit has been the nine closings
and the continuing investiga-

The second question can be
answered only in generalities at
this time. State officials, indus
try leaders and the receivers
who have taken over closed in
situations say they need time
to gather together the assets
of the firms and unravel the
tangled books. Shareholders in
the closed firms can expect to
get back only a relatively small
part of their savings. In some
cases they may receive nothing.

One receiver told The Star
last week that, given five years,
he might be able to put the
firm entrusted to him back into

But I don't look forward to

While the custodians of the
closed firms do their work,
State officials cautiously press
forward on the enforcement

Hard Tone
Is Taken
By Russians
BY PRESTON GROVER
Associated Press staff Writer

MOSCOW, Mar. 3 - The
rough tone of Soviet comment
on President Kennedy's nuclear
test speech stirred Western
diplomats here today to a feel
ing of approaching crisis. It
appeared likely one Soviet reply
to the President will be a new
series of nuclear blasts.
The official lass news agency
used such words as distortion"
aggressive action" and :'re-
sembling blackmail" to describe
Mr.. Kennedy's announcement
that the United States will re-
sumo atmospheric nuclear tests
in April unless the Russians
agree to a satisfactory test ban.
"In this case Kennedy did not
risk anything" Tass declared,
knowing very well that the
Soviet Union rejects the system
of inspection proposed by the
United States and Britain eS
completely unacceptable
1T is not difficult to under
stand that by the decision
to start nuclear tests in the at
mosphere, the United States
opened wide the doors for a
nuclear arms race"
New Series Seen
limiting that a new series of
tests will be the Soviet reply to
Mr.. Kennedy, the government
newspaper Izvestia declared:
''It is self-evident that the
Soviet Union will not remain
inactive in the face of the new
aggressive steps in the field Of
atomic armament on the part
Of the United States and its
partners in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization"
Izvestia said the Soviet Union
will take all measures that will
be required by circumstances to
insure its own security"
Igor Orlov, a Tass common
tator, found it significant
that Mr.. Kennedy's speech
came as a new book appeared
by DR.. Edward Teller, "the
well-known champion of the
unlimited arms race"
Mr.. Orlov said that in the
book, "The Legacy of Hiro-
shima," the Father of the ny
drogen bomb, as DR.. Teller is
called in the United States,
urges in effect to abandon, all
thoughts of disarmament"
Garry Same Weight
Tass is a government agency
as are Moscow radio and the
various newspaper. So the
statements made by Tass and
Izvesta carry in essence the
same weight as pronounce
ments by Pierre Salinger in the
White House and Lincoln White
in the State Department.
Actually they were only a
little more blunt than Premier
Khrushchev himself in his last
letter to Mr.. Kennedy in the
Exchange over disarmament
negotiations. In that letter the
Premier so strongly implied in
sincerity on the part Of the
President that in his reply Mr..
Kennedy rather positively
called him up for such an ap-
Iproach.
But now the same tone, and
far less diplomatic, has been
adopted by TaSs.
This repeated hard tone has
led some important diplomats
