C it iz e n s P THU^^N^SAVINGS B a s a d e n a ,C an k a l if o r n ia Of f i c e o f t h e P r e s i d e n t March 9, 1951 Mr. Marriner S. Eccles Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Washington, D. C. Dear Marriner: If you have not already received a letter from the Los Angeles Clearing House Association informing you that they would like to arrange a dinner for you when you are here on April 7th, you will receive one very shortly. I do not knew what date they have stipulated in their letter; but I have informed them that Saturday would suit you better, according to your conversation with me. Mr. Bruce McPheeters, Secretary of Group Five, California Bankers Association, sent you an airplane schedule indicating the planes leaving Oregon on Friday, April 6th. I do not know whether or not this schedule is one which you want to use. Mr. Rod Maclean, Vice President of the Union Bank and Trust Company of Los Angeles, of which bank the President is Ben Meyer who is also President of the Los Angeles Clearing House Association, called me on the phone day before yesterday to ask how long you were going to stay in Los Angeles. He said he wished to ask you to give a talk at one of the service clubs in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 10th, and wanted to know if it would be all right to wire you. I told him I didn’t know definitely what your plans were, but there would be no harm in sending a wire if he chose to do so. I assume that you have informed the Secretary of Group Five as to the tjpe of hotel reservation you wish at the Biltmore. If there is anything you wish to have me take care of for you, please do not hesitate to let me know. Looking forward to seeing you on your arrival, and with kindest personal regards, I am, Your sincerely, M. Vilas Hubbard Ii!VH:et March 13, 1951. Mr. M. Vilas Hubbard, Citizens Commercial Trust and Savings Bank, Pasadena, California. Dear Vilas: I was glad to get your letter of March 9, relative to my coming visit to Los Angeles the weekend of April 7. I received a letter last week from the Los Angeles Clearing House Association relative to a dinner on the evening of Saturday, April 7. In replying I advised that you had mentioned a dinner to me and I accepted on the assumption that it was the same dinner, suggesting that they check the matter with you in case it was not. I expect to leave Los Angeles on Sunday, the 8th, and, therefore, it would not be possible for me to accept an invitation to address one of the service clubs on Tuesday, the 10th. As far as my plane schedule is concerned, I am going to Utah the end of this week and will determine my schedule from Pullman, Washington, (where I am speaking on April 5) to Los Angeles when I get there. I expect to arrive in Los Angeles on the night of the 6th or the morning of the 7th. Mr. McPheeters sent me a memorandum covering the hotel reservation at the Biltmore. I will be looking forward to seeing and having a visit with you. With kind personal regards, Sincerely yours, M. S. Eccles.
