1St National Bank
Gets Approval For
End Branch Office
Will Open EurIy Next Spring
At Deep Creek Lake,
McHenry

The First National Bank of Oak
land will establish branch office
at Deep Greek Lake, McHenry,
early next spring, it was announced
this morning by George X. Lit
man, president.
Mr.. Littman said that approval
had been received from the Comp
troller of the Currency. The branch
will be located in the former post
office building at McHenry, after
remodeling and improvements are
completed.
He said establishment of the
branch had been under considera-
ton by the Board of Directors for
some time. He said a recent survey
indicated the need for more con-
venient banking service in that
area. All normal banking services
will be offered at the branch
He pointed out the Lake office
would not only provide service to
business and permanent residents
of the area but would aid vacation
ers and summer residents. The
branch office also will serve Acct
dent, Hoyes, Bittinger, Jennings,
Thayerville and nearby areas. Park
ing facilities will be available.
This is the second branch office
to be established by the Oakland
institution. The Friendsville office
was established in April, 1860, when
the bank acquired the former First
National Bank of Friendsville. Mr..
Littman said the substantial in
crease in the business at Friends
vile and the success of the opera
ton there had pointed up the i'm
portance of additional banking
service.
The resources of the First Ma
tional Bank in January, 1860 were
( Sc, ,787 696.31, and since that time
they have increased to more than
$40 million.
A. D. Naylor still retains his po-
! ition as chairman of the board,
with Mr.. Littman as president, John
j. Robinson, vice president and
trust officer; E. Ray Jones, vice
president; Walter w. Dawson, Al
va G. Gortner, Lowell Loomis, Dr.
Andrew E. Nance, Ralph E. Pritts
and Howard Naylor, as directors

officer in the group asked that
persons receiving reminders who
already had mailed in their con-
tribution, would do the association
a favor by replying. In this way
the group will be able to check on
the gifts that have not been re-
ceived, if there are any.

Ex-TRAFFIC JUDGE STARTS A NEW CAREER = BOXING

PORTLAND, Ore. R William Simmons, a former Seattle traffic judge who was removed from his post, opened a new career in Port land last night boxing.
 The former judge, who has been training for about a year, got 3 TKO over Bobby Sanders of Phoenix, Ariz., in 2.05 minutes off the first round, in a preliminary bout at the Portland Armory.
 Simmons appearance on the card took the 600 fans by surprise. His fistic debut had not been announced in advance.
 Sanders gave the exjurist little opposition. Simmons knocked the Arizonian down three times. When Sanders went to the canvas for the third time, referee George Robin son stepped in to stop the one sided bout.
 Both fighters weighed in at 137 pounds.
 George Chefneres, Simm Q n s manager, appeared encouraged by the outcome and said Simmons plans more fights.
 Simmons was removed from the bench after he had been accused of criminal assault on wcman who had come to see him about a traffic ticket.
 He was convicted of the assault charge by a Superior Court jury in Seattle He appealed to the Washington State Supreme Court which ruled new trial for the deposed jurist.
 But the woman in the case would not testify at a second trial, and the charges against Simmons were dropped.

Marshal Konev Transferred Out
 |Of East Germany

BERLIN H The removal of Marshal Ivan Konev from com
 mand of Soviet troops in East Ger many is regarded as a most signi- ficant event by Western officials in Berlin. Konev has been replaced by Col. Gen. Ivan Yafubovslxi, the Soviet news agency Tass reported Thursday.
 This restores the command situ- ation prevailing before the East Germans built the wall across Ber- lin last August. Yakubovslxi was then the commander of the 20 to g Soviet divisions in East Ger many.
 On Aug. 10 it was announced Konev had come out of retirement to take over from Yalxubovski. Three days after his appointment, the East Germans began putting ID the wall to stop the flight of refugees.
 Word of Keaev's departure came as a surprise to Western officials here.
 Konev has the reputation of being a tough and resolute commander. That was assumed to be the reason for his return to duty when the East was about to launch the peril ous operation of sealing off West Berlin. Under his orders two So- viet arrnored divisions moved into position on Ber1in's outskirts while 1 the East Germans began the wall. Three weeks later President Kennedy sent retired Gen. Lucius Clay to Berlin as his personal re-
 presentative The termination of l Clay's mission was announced by 1 the White House last week. He leaves Berlin May 6. Thus the two top figures dis l patched Q by the Kremlin and the l l White House to Berlin at the
 height of the crisis will have left.
 Tn political circles here there was speculation the moves were re- Hated bound up with the present
 phase of U.S.-Soviet negotiation over Berlin.
 Western sources suggested Pre-
 nier Khrushchev felt he could pull
 back his marshal after the an-
 nouncement that President Ken- nedy was withdrawing his general. I The reasoning was that Konev's
 arrival presaged trouble for Berlin,
 so his departure could possibly be
 a promise of a more settled period.
