9 Seek u. S.
Receiver for
Closed Firm

Nine Washington area resi-
dents who had a total of $45,-
Balls in a closed savings and
loan firm today sued in Balti-
more Federal Court to have
the associations receiver re-
moved. They ask that a Fed
eral bankruptcy trustee take
over affairs of the firm.
The loan company, the Mu-
tual Security Savings & Loan
Association, Inc, was put in
the hands of Receiver Paul M.
Coughlan, Silver Spring insur-
ance man, on November "a.
The association had an esti-
mated 1000 to 5000 accounts
totaling about So million.
In the suit filed under the
bankruptcy laws the nine
shareholders charged they de-
posted their money "by rea-
son of certain false and fradu-
lent Misrepresentation of ma
terial facts" by Mutual Sc
curity.
Investments Hit
These 'falsities" included
they said, statements by the
firm that it's accounts were in
sured and that it made con-
ventional investments when it
"in fact invested in highly
speculative" transactions.
One of these transactions,
the suit charged, was a ninth
trust mortgage.
(Second mortgages held by
savings and loan firms have
come under attack Of the State
as not being secure enough for
inveStn ent.>
In addition, the petitioners
demand return of their $45,000
Receiver Coughlan has al
ready said he has discovered
only about $4,000 in cash which
belongs to the firm besides a
number of mortgages, whose
value is still undetermined.
The nine persons asked that
the United States Court de-
clare Mutual Security bank
rupt, thus placing it in the
hands of a Federal trustee in
bankruptcy.
The action was filed by
Charles A. Docter, Washington
attorney, and Samuel M
Greenbaum and Paul T. Nc
Henry, Baltimore lawyers.
Lower Fees Seen
Mr.. McHenry said the Fedora,
bankruptcy law carries stronger
powers for a trustee than those
possessed by a State-appointec
receiver. In addition, he said
receivers fees may be consider
ably less.
Also, he added, under the
Federal procedure monies paic
out by the bankrupt firm foul
months before filing of the suit

BALTIMORE, Jan. 4.-Gov
Tawes said today he sees no
need for any special investiga-
ton of the Maryland savings
and loan situation.
A grand jury investigation
had been suggested by David
Hume, one of Mr.. Tawes' oppo-
nentS in the Democratic pri-
mary. The head of the Mary
land Young Republican Fedora
tion has called for an investi-
cation of the savings and loan
matter by a special committee
of the General Assembly.
II have no information that
would indicate any special in
vestigation is needed" Gov
Tawes told press conference
today, adding that in fact he
would be opposed to any such
Investigation.
( He said he thinks the matter
is being adequately handled by
the Department of Taxation
and the State attorney gen.
erals office. Investigations BY
these offices have resulted in
several firms being placed in
receiverShip under Maryland s
new savings and loans regula-
tons which went into effect in
June.
Gov. Tawes said 95 per cent
OF Maryland's savings and loan
associations are well managed
: He said the industry would
get back on an even keel when
we are able to dispose of out
of-staters who have been us

ing the lack of regulation to
promote their own interests. "
You don't burn down the
house to get rid of the rat" the
Governor said.
Asked whether he will sup
port Representative johnson,
Democrat of Maryland, in the
party primary, Gov. Tawes said
he has not made any commit
ment to any Congressman yet.
Representative johnson has
figured in news stories involv-
ing First Continental Savings
& Loan Association, which
went into receivership yester-
day and which has been de-
Scribed as under the control
of j. Kenneth Edlin, who once
was sentenced for mail fraud
and is awaiting sentence in
Baltimore now on a similar
charge involving a Maryland
savings and loan firm.
Gov. Tawes again defended
his veto of a 1860 savings and
loan regulatory bill. He subse-
quently supported the bill
which was passed in 1861 and
which now governs the savings
and loan industry.
Gov. Tawes said it was the
/ consensus of advisers that the
1860 bill was inadequate and
should be vetoed rather than
let unscrupulous operators
"hide behind an inadequate
law"
! Gov. Tawes' veto of the 1850
bill, which was introduced by
former Delegate Joseph D
Tydings, has been severely
criticized by Mr.. Hume and
another Democratic guberna-

Gov. Tawes also said he will
seek SIS million for construc-
tion of a new 500-capacity cor.
rectional camp at Jessups tt
replace the camp now at Sandy
Point. The Governor said the
Department of Correction has
asked for $470,000 for a 24O-
prisoner camp at Jessups, but
in "view of the urgent need fer
additional housing" he upped
the appropriation.
On other matters, the Gov
ernor told a press conference
today that:
He will file Monday for re-
election.

left, decided to head back to camp when Hansen spotted something moving inside the brush at far side of clearing, 20 yards ahead.
 KILL OR BE KILLED
 Hansen writes that Walter also saw it and the Seattle hunter Tipped the scope covers off and was ready for business with the scope showing a patch of dark fur half as big as man, but no head, ears or shoulder. Before I could locate target area" he says, "the brownie solved things for me. He came up on his hind feet, standing taller than the eight-foot alders around him, his great blocky head swinging from side to side, his eyes ablaze, low growl rumbling out of his chest. He was a giant bear out of distant time, sight to stop a mans breath in his throat. He started for us, lunging out of the brush, still erect"
 q found the right spot, in the chest just below the shoulder, and smashed my 22O-grain Power Point into him. The animal went straight up in the air like cat hit with a pellet gun and let go a bawling scream that was the most horrible noise I'd ever heard" Hansen de- scribes the scene.
 Once you hammer a shot into one of those big brutes it's too late to back out. Either you kill him or he kills you. I walloped him in about the same spot. It knocked him flat, but he didn't stay down.

for 21 years and seen a good many bears flattened with that caliber."
 THE HUNT BEGINS
 Madsen told Hansen enroute to the hunting base that he had seen the huge bear from plane num- Der of times and if he were for tunate enough he would have a trophy animal.
 In less than 24 hours after land ing in Kodiak, Panamaroff and Hansen came across a huge bear track, and Panamaroff was sure it was the one that Madsen had hoped they would find. But" Hansen writes, finding a bear track and overriding the animal are two diff ferent things"
 The pair followed the track that day through underbrush, and Han- sen writes, "Once we came to a scrubby aspen three or four inches thick and as tall as I am. The tracks went on either side of it. I stared at them, not believing my eyes. The brown giant had simply straddled the aspen and walked over it, not bothing to turn aside. My heart skipped a beat"
 But darkness fell upon the hunt CTS and they struggled back to camp, and the next morning Wal ter told Hansen of a spot where small pond was and where every bear for miles around goes there to fish.
 They followed a stream of half eaten salmon and a set of tracks, and with about an hour of daylight

LUNGES AT HUNTER

The hunter thought that he was being circled. But then," he says, 'I saw him coming at walk. We met face to face, just 10 yards apart, and he went up on his hind legs once more, as quick and cat like as if my three shots hadn't grazed him. He looked a mile tall. Blood was pouring out of his chest and streaming down his side, but he let another roar and came up me. At the first step he toppled and fell forward on his face, hard ly more than a length away. He couldn't get his front end off the ground and I realized he was done for"
 The bear measured 9 feet, 6 inches from tip of nose to base of tail. His neck was 557s inches around and the hind feet were 151a inches long and 8 wide. The pelt weighed 165 to 175 pounds. The bear was estimated to have weighed 1850 to 400 pounds.
 Il had taken a new world-record Alaska bear with total score of 30-13/16 but he finally went into the Boone and Crockett Club rec ordS officially at 30-11/16, 1/16 of an inch short of the present world record. He also won first place in the Boone and Crockett Club Com petition in 1961,' Hansen con- cludes.
 The bear will finally wind up in the new Seattle Historical museum.
 Alfred Madsen of Kodiak says it is the largest bear ever shot by nonresident hunter.
 And thus another thrilling hunt story of fabulous Kodiak is re- corded in the history books.

No. l Trophy Bear-Kill or Be Killed" is the title of an exciting bear hunt on Kodiak Island ap- bearing in the September issue of Outdoor Life written by Erling w. Hansen.
 The frontiSpiece of the widely circulated magazine also ties in with the Kodiak based hunt.
 Hansen's companions on the trip were Walter Scott, a Seattle at torney, and Jack Abbett of La fayette, Indiana.
 PICKED ALE MADSEN
 Hansen writes how he investi- gated Kodiak outfitters and picked Ali Madsen who had only one hunt open for the fall of 1861 in mid October and that they should ar rive here by October 13.
 He describes his first meeting with Walter Panamroff, the Aleut- Russian Guide, as they began hunt ing along the Uganik River on the North side of Kodiak Island - some of the "wildest country I had ever been in"
 The author explains how he was concerned about his rifle, .30/O6 Winchester scoped with a AK Leu pold NY, after reading about an other Kodiak hunter who said, "I'u never hunt Alaska brownies with so light a rifle again."
 However, on his arrival, Madsen assured the Seattle man Your .3O/O6 is plenty of gun if you know how to handle it," and the Kodiak outfitter continued, Eve used one
