Financiers
to
pressure Congress on
bank
bill
WASHINGTON (JP) - Top officials
of. three banks in which congressmen
own large blocs of stock have been
asked to press the lawmakers to get a
weaker version of a pending bank reg-
ulatory bill.
The three congressmen a r e on a
Senate-House panel due to meet Wed-
nesday to seek a settlement on the bill
to ban one-bank holding companies
from branching out into other busi-
ness fields.
The American Bankers Association
asked the bank officials to contact the
congressmen personally in pushing for
the exemption-fiddled Senate version
of the bill.
The congressmen and the bank offi-
cials involved are:
page three
-Rep. J. William Stanton (R-Ohio)
a stockholder in the Lake Country Na-
tional Bank, Painesville, Ohio. T h e
bank's president, Albert R. Pike, who
was asked to contact Stanton, v a s
Stanton's campaign treasurer in the
recent election.
-Rep. Henry S. Reuss (D-Wis.),
who owns stock in Marshall & Ilsley
Bank in Milwaukee. The association
made its request to bank vice presi-
dent Donald N. Baxter, who once fig-
ured in a grand jury probe of improper
lobbying on a bank bill in Wisconsin,
but Baxter said another banker hand-
led the request.
-Rep. Leonor K. Sullivan (D-Mo.),
a stockholder of the Mercantile Trust
Company in St. Louis, whose presi-
dent, Donald E. Lasater, was asked to
contact her. Lasater said, however, the
bank decided not to take any action.
"We are pleased that she is a share-
holder," Lasater said. "But I don't
feel that gives us any particular right
to speak at this time."
The three congressmen were in-
volved in another recent controversy
when a rich campaign fund for banks
sent more than $40,000 in contribu-
tions to members of the Senate and
House Banking Committees.
Reps Reuss, Sullivan and Stanton
all refused the m o n e y. The $2,500
check for Stanton was sent to Pike
and arrived in the mail on election
day. It was returned the same day, an
aide said.
The American Banking Association
included the names of the three banks
and the cong~ressman-stockholders in
a letter that wentout last week to 69
bankers in the home district of the 12
legislators on the Senate-House con-
ference committee.
The letter stressed the bank group's
support of the Senate version of the
regulatory bill. It asked the bankers
to contact the conferees before Wed-
nesday and said, "If at all possible,
please make your contact in person."
A. N. Renner, a Marshall & Ilsley
bank official to whom Baxter referred
inquiries, said the bank made no spec-
ial effort after receiving the letter, but
said its lobbyist in Washington had al-
ready been in contact with Reuss and
another conferee, Sen. William Prox-
mire (D-Wis.).
"We haven't worked nearly as close
with Reuss as we have with Sen. Prox-
mire," said Renner.
Stanton's campaign treasurer, Pike,
said he had not attempted to contact
the congressman. "He's not available,"
Pike said. "He has been out of the
country on a vacation somewhere. I
did not contact him. I don't k n o w
whether I would have anyway."
The exact value of the bank holdings
of Stanton, Reuss and Mrs. Sullivan
is not known publicly. But the three
congressmen named the banks on re-
ports to the House Ethics Committee,
which requires that the lawmakers list
any stock holdings of $5,000 or more
without giving details.

"'JOE' is not merely an extraordinary film; it is a
small artistic miracle. Only rarely in the turmoil of
human events does a work of such brutal directness
to the core truths of the conditions of life that no
matter what one's beliefs, there is no denying its
validity. 'JOE' is approached for sheer impact and
importance only by 'Z, PATHS OF GLORY, and the
final scenes of 'EASY RIDER.' No one conceiving
this film, a year ago, could have known how loudly
it would speak today. It is a one-in-a-million."

Congress
convenes3
session
WASHINGTON (M)- Congress
reconvened yesterday for a lamre-
duck session strongly flavored by
the politics of 1970-and of 1972.
Senate Republican Leader Hugh
Scott said it would be "an un-
mitigated disaster."
Democratic Leader Mike Mans-
field welcomed his returning ma-
jority - and accused Republican!
campaigners of subjecting them
to offensive personal vilification,
and "political slicksterism."
Mansfield and Scott agreed that
congressional leaders and Presi-:
dent Nixon should draw up a rock-
bottom list of legislative tnusts for
action by the lame-duck 91st Con-
gress.
"I trust that the list will be
mercifully short," Mansfield said.
But he said he couldn't guess how!
long the session would last. "In-!
deed, the 91st may yet be known
as the unending Congress," Mans-
field said.
"I would hope the session couldj
be treated as a cleanup and wind-
up session," said Scott. He saidN
that with two more Republicans
due to join the Senate minority -
in the 92nd Congress, opening
Jan. 4, President Nixon would do
better to bide his time on con-
troversial matters involving for-
eign policy and defense.
In the days aheadsthis year
Scott said he expects a lot of ora-
tory about the outcome of the
Nov. 3 elections, a lot of attempts
to win hasty enactment of pet
projects-
Among the measures awaiting
fction: a once-vetoed measure to
finance housing and assorted other
government projects, and a-trans-
portation appropriation with the
built in controversy of a $230-mil-
lion item to' continue the super-
sonic transport aircraft project

ICC CRITICIZED
Agency chairman eats for free
news briefs
By The Associated Press
CUSTOMS BUREAU OFFICIALS said yesterday they have
seized markedly larger quantities of illegal d r u g s in recent
months because of a stepped-up enforcement drive.
Deputy Customs Commissioner Edwin R. Rains said increased
manpower - about 300 new agents recruited last year - is respon-
sible. "They're just coming into effectiveness," he said.
The Customs Bureau said marijuana accounted for the largest
number of its seizures, averaging 600 per month. It added the quan-
tity of marijuana seized was larger than any other drug.
AMERICAN MOTORS CORP. reported yesterday a loss of
$56.2 million, the equivalent of $2.28 a share, for its fiscal year
ended last Sept. 30, compared with a profit ,of $4.9 million, or 26
cents a share, for its 1969 fiscal year.
American Motors had a loss of $16.4 million in its fourth quar-
ter, compared with a loss of $2.9 million in the closing quarter of its
previous fiscal year.
JURY SELECTION for the court martial of Lt. William Cal-
ley Jr. charged with the premeditated murder of 102 Vietnamese
civilians at My Lai 32 months ago, was completed yesterday, with
final defense.and prosecution agreement on six jurors.
The six - ranging in rank from captain to colonel - include
five combat veterans of Vietnam. Two jurors without combat exper-
ience in Vietnam who were earlier seated were removed following a
ruling by the trial judge, Col. Reid W. Kennedy, allowing for two ex-
tra pre-emptory challenges.
A pre-emptory challenge is one in which no reason need be given
for the dismissal of a prospective juror.
As a result, two of the first three officers seated, both of them
previously assumed to be permanent jurors, were removed.
Witnesses in the case were scheduled to begin testimony today
following the four days of jury selection.
SYRIA'S new revolutionary government announced yester-
day it would seek to join the proposed Arab federation of Egypt,
Libya and Sudan - restoring in part the 1958 United Arab Re-
public of Gamal Abdel Nasser.
The old Syrian-Egyptian merger collapsed in September 1961
after existing mostly on paper.
The announcement of the Syrian plan was made by Radio Da-
mascus in the name of the new leader, Gen. Hafez Assad, the air
marshal and defense minister who seized power on Friday.
ELEVEN BOMBS were thrown from cars in San Juan, Puer-
to Rico, over the weekend, iiijuring two persons and causing an
estimated $13,000 in damage. A high police official, however,
said he thought they were "isolated incidents and not the'start of
a terrorist campaign."
Five bombs exploded Friday night in the city's business district,
causing light damage. Six bombs went off Saturday night, five of
them in the city's major hotel district, and one in the office of Buck,
Seifert & Jost, American consulting engineers.
Hello, 'm JohnnyCash
the sound of the Hohner
haroia
WASHINGTON (MP)-The chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) says he
sees nothing wrong in being wined and dined by
interests his agency regulates.
At the same time, Chairman George Stafford
is moving to fire one of his hearing examiners
accused of accepting food and entertainment from
parties in a proceeding before him.
Stafford feasted for free on rock Cornish
game hen, mushrooms in cognac and cherries
jubilee last month at the American Trucking
Association convention, where diners were enter-
tained by 20 strolling violinists and comedian
Victor Borge.
In August, as Stafford moved to fire hearing
examiner Bernard J. Hasson Jr. on grounds he
violated the ICC's Canons of Conduct., he wrote all
agency personnel:
"I, as chairman, wish to impress upon you
that Section 14 of the Canons of Conduct pro-
hibit an employe from accepting meals, refresh-
ments, other forms of entertainment from or
social association with any person representing a
party having an interest in any matter pending
before him."
Bu,t in an interview, Stafford said he sees no
conflict between his order to ICC employes and his
personal acceptance of meals at industry meetings.
A House Commerce Committee investigative
panel disclosed in hearings last summer that from
1966 through 1969, expense vouchers were sub-
mitted by 43 hearings examiners indicating tran-
sportation and hotel accommodations had been
received at no expense to the government. Testi-
mony also showed that three commissioners ac-
cepted a railroad's hospitality in 1967 while in-
specting rail facilities.
Subcommittee chairman Torbert H. Macdonald
(D-lass), charged the commission with permit-
ting "flagrant violations" of its canons of conduct.

U' It's a sound that's as mucha
part of America as the lonesome
wail of a freight train in the night.
A sound that was first heard
back in the 1850's when Hohner
harmonicas soothed restless
mountain men, homesick sailors
and weary plantation workers.
During the Civil War, the
sound was Johnny Reb playing
"Dixie" at Shiloh and Lookout Mountain. While across the lines
Union soldiers play ed "John Brown's Body."
Cowboys broke the prairie stillness with Hohners. Railroad
men kept them in their overalls as the great iron beast pushed west.
Wichita, Pocatello, Sacramento.
The sound went with boatmen up from New Orleans.
4Lumberjacks in Coos Bay. Miners in Cripple Creek. Farmers in
Dyess, the little town in Arkansas where I grew up.
I remember hearing it back then. Good times or bad, the
humble harmonica has been in America's hip pocket as we grew up.
And it's still there today.
Because it's a sound that's simple and
true. Happy and sad. A reflection of life,
past and present.
It's not surprising that today Hohners fit
so naturally with any kind of music. Blues,
Folk and Rock: In fact, Hohner makes over
160 different kinds of harmonicas, from an
inch and a half to two feet long. Popular
models come in all different keys. There's e ve
a neck holder so you can play harmonica and guitar at the same
time. Me? I use the good old Marine Band for songs like
"Orange Blossom Special." It gives me just the sound I want.
Pure and honest.
You can get the same sound I do by getting a Hohner
harmonica today. At your campus bookstore
or wherever musical
instruments are sold.
