ABE SAPEFSTE1J HAD JUST stepped off an overseas plane,
which is about as surprising as the Yankees winning a pennant. He's
the only guy in the world who probably owns a communication flying
ticket. He figures he's good for about 100000 miles a year, which is
a lot of flying. Even if youre d plane.
Needles to say that Little Abe hardly sits in one place too long.
Right now, for example, he's back in this country only long enough
to conduct an Eastern outdoor tour for his Harlem Globetrotters,
which is slated for a Polo Grounds onenighter starting at eightto-
night. ThereTI be a basketball show, plus Wilt ChamBerlantand big
league acts featuring Cab Galloway, Pegleg Bates, etc. 9
Abe moves and talks fast. He can start al conversation in New
York and finish it in Paris in the same breath He does everything
in a hurry. Once we made a European trip with him and his Globe
trotters and saw him in action. He'd swoop into his hotel room,
spread his letter file all over the place and, just like that, the store
was open for business.
That was quite a trip. We think of it now because Abe is back

Employment Pattern Chonqino

NEW YORK (AP) The EN-.
ployment pattern in the United
States is undergoing a vast
change. the National Indus
trial Conference Board be-
lieves.
In a study Of jobs, the board
found a shifting picture in en-
ployment opportunities.
The business research organ
ization reported two persistent
trends in employment:
A steady decline in the num-
Der Of persons employed in ag-
riculture.
An increase in employment
in Federal, State and local gov
ernment.
In 1900. agricultural employ
ment accounted for 81 pei
cent of the total employed but
by 1862 had fallen to 8 per
cent.
On the other hand, public
employment rose from 4 per
cent of the total in 1900 to IL
per cent in 1862.

ment, rising from IL per cent
in 1929 to IA per cent cur
recently. Manufacturing, usu-
ally regarded as a handspring OF
the economy, accounted for "a
per cent of total employment
in 1929 but fell to 30 per cent
in 1862.

The board said that under

Mr.. Saxon first reviewed the
banking structure of Washing

There are IL banks head

said. These banks, operating
rs branches or facilities, had
total deposits of $1.8 billion in
mid-March, 1863"
Following Riggs, with it's 13
branches, he noted that Amer

Biggest growth among occu-
pations was in clerical work,
where 100000 jobs were added
between 1850 and 1860, q gain
of 10 per cent.
Salaried managers placed
second in the number added to
their ranks. There was a so

tary and high school teach
ers.
Between 1850 and 1860 the
number of locomotive engi-
neers and firemen decreased by
more than 25 per cent while
truck and tractor drivers in
creased by nearly 20 per cent.
The board said that by 1875
the United States labor force
is expected to total SO million
against 73 million in 1860.
1t said considerable differ
ences will appear in two parts
of the labor force. Females will

In l960-65 the sexes will be

Todd's Stores
To Halt Pricing Claims

Todd's stores, a Washington
area chain Of furniture anC
appliance retailers, yesterday
were ordered by a Fedora,
Trade Commission examiner tc
discontinue making allegedly
deceptive pricing, savings ano
guarantee claims.
An FTC announcement, sum-
marizing a revised initial de-
cision" by Hearing Examiner
William K. Jackson, empha-
sized that the decision is not
final and may be reviewed by
the commission.
Robert F. Rolnick, an attor-
ney for the appliance chain,
today said the hearing ex-
aminer's decision will be ap-
pealed to the full commission
The gist Of Mr.. Jackson's
ruling was that certain news
paper advertisements placed by
firms trading as Todd'S were
deceptive" in that they listed
a manufacturers list price be-
side Todd's price and implied
that a customer could save the
difference.
Mr.. Jackson, the FTC said,
ruled that the list prices were
not equivalent to regular retail
prices in the Washington area
but substantially" higher.
The examiner also ruled that
a disclaimer" in some of the
adS-a disclaimer relating tc
manufacturers list prices-was
inconspicuously placed anc
serves merely to create fur
ther confusion in the minds of
the purchasing public"
Evening star., 1963-05-24

In another portion of the
ruling, the examiner labeled a:
misleading" the use of the
phrase fully guaranteed" ir
advertisements placed by Toms
Furniture, Inc, in connection
with the sale of mattresses, boz
springs and sectional pieces.
Mr.. JackSon's order notec
that the respondents contendeC
that the advertising agency was
ordered a. on or about April
or May. 1860, never to utilize
the word guarantee" in any
fashion in advertising under the
trade name "Todd's" ;"
This action on the part OF
respondents is commendable, >
the examiner said, adding that
even though a respondent has
discontinued a practice, the
Commission is not prevented
from issuing a cease and desist
order.
Named in the examiners
order were the following firms
and individuals:
Filderman Corp, and F. F. &,
@, Corp, both at Eleventh and
F streets NV; Toma Furni-
ture, Inc, 300 Hamilton street
NE; Dorrel Goldman. an Of

noted that Toma Furniture ha.
not been connected with Todd.

Robert v. Fleming, chair
man OF the board of Riggs
National Bank, issued this
statement after being mott
fled that Controller OF the
Currency Sdron had turned
doiDn his banks proposed
merger NTH the Bank OF
Commerce.
The Riggs National Bank, as
well as the Bank of Commerce,
has today received from the
Honorable James j. Saxon,
Comptroller of the Currency,
his opinion with respect to the
consolidation between tn e e
two institutions, application
for which was filed on February
'26, 1868. The comptroller in his
statement denies the applica-
ton to consolidate.
The Riggs National Bank in
its long history has never
reached out to absorb smaller
banks. either directly or in
directly. and such consolida-
tions as have taken place have
come at the instance of the
smaller institutions. 1t has al
ways been our policy, wher-
ever possible, to aid and as
sist smaller institutions which
have dealt with us. When we
were approached by Mr.. Thom-
as ]. Groom, president and
chairman of the Board of the
Bank of Commerce, we felt the
consolidation would be con-
structive and in the public in
tereSt. 1t was not the feeling
OF either The Riggs National
Bank or the Bank of Commerce
that this consolidation would
retard effective competition of
other banking institutions. In
fact, taking the figures Of De-
cember %, 1862, the year-end
call date for that year, and
comparing them with the year.
end call dates for the last
five years, The Riggs National
Bank has averaged 32.6 per
cent of the deposits in the
District of Columbia. Based on
the December, 1862, call figures
of The Riggs National Bank
and the Bank of Commerce
Evening star., 1963-05-24

"Of the local banks, other
than Riggs, two, because of
their competitive position in
the Washington banking struc-
ture would be subject to
very careful scrutiny, If either
proposed to acquire the Bank
of Commerce" he said. "a pro-
posed merger with a local af-
filiate or sale to a subsidiary
or other inStrumentality of
Financial General could not be
deemed in the public interest
as it would create a Metro
politan Area banking chain of
seven interrelated banks. Such
a route could effectively gener-
ate a proposal to amend the
Bank Holding Company Act of
1856 to encompass and regulate
the activities of Financial Gen.
eral."
Branch is Approved
In closing, Mr.. Saxon noted
that this office has had pend
ing before it two conflicting
applications for a highly de-
sirable branch location.
"The application by the
Bank Of Commerce for a
branch to be located in the
vicinity Of Connecticut avenue
and Albemarle street, NV, has
been rejected today. The con-
flicting application of the Dis
trict of Columbia National
Bank for a branch at 44O0 Con-
necticut avenue, NV, has been
granted today.
while the application of the
Bank of Commerce had an
earlier filing date, that bank
and the owner of the property
were unable to reach agree
ment on the terms and condi-
tions of a lease. The District of
Columbia National Bank, which
filed later. has entered irto
a binding agreement with the
owner of the property. In
view Of the fact that only one
branch may be reasonably eS-
tablished in this vicinity, the
application Of the District as
Columbia National Bank has
been granted"
! The last bank merger in

trict Of Columbia bank de-
posits," he went on.
In the two Maryland coun-
ties, there are main offices oi
eight banks, of which Suburban
Trust Co., with 33 branches
and 5000 million in deposits
is the largest, he said. "The
Virginia suburbs are equally
well banked through 70 offices

operated by II banks" Mr.
Saxon added.
ITO complete the commercial
banking picture, mention must
be made of the large role
played by the Financial Cen
eral Corp" he said. mot only
does this investment company,
exempt from the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1885," control
large suburban deposits but
also $l8 million in deposits in
its District of Columbia affili-
ates, the Union Trust Co. and
the First National Bank Of
Washington"
Discusses Commerce"
Competing with the COM
mercial banks are a Pile
thora of non-bank financial in
stitutions. Within the District
of Columbia there are "a saw
ings and loan associations hav-
ing SIG billion in withdrawable
shares. In addition, there
are seven savings and loan as
sociations in Maryland and IL
in suburban Virginia. Competi-
ton from insurance companies
and credit unions situated in
the area is also a significant
factor"
Mf. Saxon said the Bank of
Commerce could find other
solutions to the problem created
by the illness of its top officer,
then declared the consolidation
would allow Riggs to ssturate
the heart Of the commercial
and financial section of the
city.
AS for serving "the conven-
ience and needs of the COM
munity by making available to
customers Of Commerce the
improved and superior services
offered by Riggs" Mr.. Saxon
said, "it is undoubtedly true
that Riggs does offer a greater
range of services than does the
Bank of Commerce. The growth
of the Bank of Commerce in re-
cent years does not indicate
that its many customers have
been hurt by the unavailability
Of certain services"
Mr.. Saxon made it clear that
he would also frown on other
leading banks taking over the
Bank of Commerce.

the geographical growth of the

In a lengthy review of the
whole Washington bankin g
scene, Mr.. Saxon pointed to the
"burgeoning" financial growth
of the immediate area around
Farragut Square and the stra-
tegic location of the Bank OF
Commerce there. He said the
merger would have had SUBJ
stantially adverse competitive
effects upon other banks in
that area, including the re-
cently-chartered District OF
Columbia National Bank.
Banks Issue Statement
Late yesterday, Robert v
Fleming, chairman of the board
of Riggs National Bank, issued
a statement which was con-
Cured in by Thomas j. Groom
president of the Bank of Com
merce.
Mr.. Fleming said it was their
feeling that the consolidation
would be constructive and in
the public interest"
After pointing out that the
merger would have increased
Riggs average percentage Of
District deposits only slightly,
Mr.. Fleming added that in an
advisory opinion received by
the Controller, a bank exam
liner had interviewed each OF
the competing banks.
None of the banks felt that
the consolidation would have
unfavorable effects on compe-
tition," he said, "and they felt
that they would be able to
compete fully with the result
ing bank"
Approved by Stockholders
Under the proposal, the two
institutions would have con-
solidated under the Riggs name

The plan was approved last
