Loan Firm
Quits, Pays
All Savers
BY the Associated Press

State officials reported clos
ing out their first savings and
loan case during the week end.
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan said Standard Savings
and Loan Association of Baltf-
more went out Of business after
paying in full about 260 de-
poSitorS.
The State revoked Standards
charter last october for nom
use, contending it was little
more than a collection agency
channeling military allotments
destined as installment pay
ments to American Finance Co.
of New York.
Military paymasters will make
deductions and relay funds for
banks and savings and loan as
sociations, but not for finance
companies.
Gerard w. Wittstadt, assist
ant attorney general, said
Standard handled between
100000 and 100000 a month
in Servicemen'S allotments
which were relayed to Ameri-
can Finance and affiliated COM
panies.
Mr.. Wittstadt said Standard
had only $4,000 in savings &C
counts, excluding $4,000 de-
posted by American Finance
shortly before the charter was
revoked.

The company's store of drug

Much additional information
came from a search of the last

from the American Medical

There are now $500 drugs
in use in the United States.
Most physicians receive dozens
of booklets, reports and drug
samples each week on addi-
tional new drugs being intro

It has thus been very diff
ficult for a physician to keep

Court Rebukes Judge
For Too-High Bond

tect Mr.. Stars right Of appeal.
The judge said he decided on
5000 after Mr.. Bell had given
a second recommendation of
$500.
Mr.. Starr appealed both the
traffic conviction and the bond,
saying he felt it his duty as a
citizen to bring the shocking
occurrence" to the higher
courts attention.
Whatever may have been
the trial courts reason for fix
ing the bail at 5000, its action
was wrong and merits our
strongest disapproval," tn e
court said. 1.-THE amount of
bail must bear some reasonable
relation to the purpose for
which it is given" the opinion
said, adding that "the prac-
ticable approach" would have
been to allow the IS collateral
to stand as bond.
However, the court said it
was too late to eliminate the
bond. Besides the IS fine, the
case will cost Mr.. Starr another
$1S for his appeal applications
ard the appeal itself. The 5000
will be returned to him.

The Municipal Court of APP
peals today rebuked Traffic
Court Judge Andrew ]. Howard,
jr., for fixing an undue" ap-
peal bond of 5000 for a SIS traf-
fic case against the general
counsel of the American Cross.
It was a mixed victory for
Howard w. Starr, SO, the Red
Cross official. While upholding
his objections to the high bond,
the appeals court also upheld
his conviction for making an
illegal right turn.
Judge Howard had fined Mr..
Starr SIS for making the turn

last April IL, according to court
papers.
When Mr.. Starr said he
would appeal, the Judge asked
Assistant Corporation Counsel

Hume Urges
Frunkness in
SCI Probe

David Hume, a candidate
for the Maryland Democratic
gubernatorial nomination, yes
terday asked that any investi.
cation of the States savings
and loan industry which may
be undertaken be conducted
without a "whitewash."
"At long last Gov. Tawes has
been forced into a position of
agreeing to an investigation of
our savings and loan problems"
Mr.. Hume, from Charles
County, declared in a state
ment.
His remarks followed the
Governors pledge of full CO.
operation in any savings and
loan probe which the Legis-
lature might launch.
Mr.. Hume's statement added:
I'm asking that the investiga-
ton be conducted for good
purposes and that it not be
a witch hunt the Governor
appears primarily concerned
with motive. Without detract-
ing from this worthy principle,
it should be recognized that our
greater concern must be with
truth.
ION behalf of the people of
Maryland, particularly those
robbed of their savings, I ask
that there be no whitewash.
Certainly the Governor is to
be congratulated on the prog
ress of his position in regard
to an investigation. 1t has been
less than a week since his
spokesman stated that no
investigation was necessary"

tions-including three in Mont
gomery County - were an
illegal" deposit of monies in
Security Financial's trust
fund.-" Attorney General
Thomas P. Finan had told Mr.
Ward.
Basis of Order
It was on the basis of this
opinion that the State director
ordered the associations to
withdraw from it.
The attorney general said the
money put into Security Finan-
cial was mo more than an un-
secured loan at an interest rate
to be fixed by the borrower
Security Financial for such
terms as the borrower deems
appropriate for the sole benefit
of the borrower"
Security Financial is a pri-
vate insuring firm organized in
Baltimore by a group Of Balti-
more by a group Of Baltimore
County political figures.
According to Mr.. Finan's
opinion the insurance firm
maintained it set up the fund
to provide an extra cushion"
to the savings and loan firms
"for contingencies" aside from
the ,000-per-account in
Surance.
The effect of the withdrawal
of the funds on the Security
Financials structure was not
Immediately apparent, nor did
the State disclose how much
the nine withdrew.
The Montgomery County
associations affected by the
order are:
Suburbia, at 5428 westward

Thrift, at 8417 Georgia avenue,
Silver Spring, and Maryland

back to about so cents gallon.
Most dealers in the Wood
bridge and Triangle areas are
not posting the new prices, and
some have simply covered their
old prices or painted them out.
I've got a sneaky feeling
that the prices might go back
down again any minute" said
Joe Stevens, assistant manager
OF an ESQ station at the inter-
section of Route l and 619 in
Trian gle. He said prices
dropped again in Fredericks-
burg on Saturday.
The manager of the fuel oil
department at another station
