Urge Stand Changed

On Interest Rates

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndiana AFL-CIO President Dallas Sells today joined a Republican banker, Philip H. 1 Willkie, in a personal appeal to the Indiana Board of Financial Institutions to keep the state from becoming “an economic ... sieve” because of its lowest-in-the-nation' savings interest rates. Sells said his organization hopes the board will reverse its present stand and allow Hoosier banks to pay a maximum of four per cent to savings depositors for use of their money. The federal government some time ago paved the way for banks to pay up to four per cent on savings. All states except Indiana amended their regulations to permit banks to go from the previous maximum of three per cent to the new ceiling of four per cent, if they wished, , Willkie, son of the 1940 Republican presidential nominee, enlisted the aid of Sells in appearing at today’s board meeting on the assumption he might be barred from attending. Willkie also carried with him copies of an Indiana antisecrecy law which guarantees citizens access to meetings of governmental agencies deciding public business. Chairman Frank Moore of the State Board of Financial Institutions also is chairman of a subcommittee studying Indiana banking laws. Last month he asked Willkie to leave a meeting of the subcommittee. This time Moore welcomed Sells and Willkie and told them they could have five minutes in which to state their views. Willkie took three minutes to charge that major national industries no longer are bringing money into Indiana and that savings depositors are taking their funds to out-of-state banks

where they draw higher interest rates. “Indiana is an economic sieve,” Willkie declared. Willkie cited the fact that the rate of growth for Indiana banks was five per cent last year compared to 19 per cent for the nation and 32 per cent for Chicago banks. He stressed thaj the proposed one per cent hike was permissive and that records show only 20 per cent of the banks in other states took advantage of the new ceiling. “Any bank, metropolitan or country, large or small, can pay four per cent on time deposits and make money,” Willkie said. He urged the board.tp reverse its 2-3 vote of last September against an increase “at the earliest possible moment.” Sells confined his comments to the board to the one sentence that his group backs the ceiling hike and hopes the board will reconsider its stand. Moore said the question would be reconsidered by the board, but nothing could be decided today since two members were absent. Both Milton Maidenberg, Marion, and Willard Jordan, New Castle, were not present. Cited For Driving In Bed Os River LOS ANGELS (UPD — Ray Aguilar, 19-year-old driver of a car seen bobbing along in storm waters of the Los Angeles River, was cited Wednesday for driving in a river bed. Aguilar was hailed ashore in his buoyant auto by officers who saw him about two hours after he and his “crew” of four — one of which was sitting topside a sa navigator — slid into the fenced, cement-lined channel from a moss-covered bank three miles upstream.

97 Escape Death In Airport Accident LONDON (UPD—AII 97 persons aboard a Trans-Canada Airlines (TCA) DC 8 jetliner escaped death Wednesday night when the plane skidded off a London Airport runway into a muddy cabbage patch during a heavy, fog. The plane, bound for Montreal, was not airborne but had reached the “point of no return" when the accident happened. Four persons, three women and a man, required hospitalization but their injuries were not considered serious. Visibility was about 20 yards, officials said, when the plane started down the runway. Ground speed was too great to come to an orderly halt when the pilot, Capt. R.S. Found, had to slam on the brakes. The giant jetliner skidded about 700 yards into the boggy cabbage patch and one of its four engines caught fire. The passengers were able to Scramble out of the aircraft in near-record time by using an escape chute. TCA officials said all were removed from the plane within 90 seconds after the accident. Most of the passengers who spent the night in London hotels, will return to Canada today aboard another plane flown here from Canada, TCA officials sajd.
