OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY,

Washington, D. C, June 15, 1955.
SIRS: In accordance with the provisions of section 333 of the United
States Revised Statutes, I have the honor to submit the following
report covering the activities of the Bureau of the Comptroller of the
Currency for the year 1954.
Respectfully,
RAY M. GIDNEY,

Comptroller of the Currency.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.
THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.




ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE

COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
A moderate contraction in business activity from the 1953 high
point was in progress at the opening of 1954. This movement had
its origin with the cutback in defense spending, the curtailment of
inventories, and the depressed condition of agriculture in some areas.
The downward trend came to a halt during the first quarter of 1954
and following a period of little change, in the fourth quarter activity
moved upward, and total production and employment improved,
stimulated by the automobile and related industries.
The affairs of the 4,796 national banks which comprise the national
banking system continue in excellent condition as reflected by the
general soundness of their managements, assets, capital strength,
earning capacity, and liquidity. At the close of 1954, the total
assets of national banks amounted to $116 billion, a gain of $6 billion
for the year. Their total deposits were $106 billion, an increase of
$5 billion during the year. Approximately 50 percent of the banking
resources and deposits in the commercial and savings banks of the
Nation were held by national banks. Exclusive of 528 State-chartered
mutual savings banks with total resources of $29 billion, the 9,064
State-chartered commercial banks and trust companies had total
assets of $87 billion, or about 43 percent of all commercial bank assets.
The total loans held by all national banks on December 31, 1954,
reached a new high of $40.4 billion through an increase of $2 billion
during the year. Investments in obligations of the United States
Government increased $4 billion to an aggregate in such investments
of $39.5 billion. Municipal, corporate, and special revenue bond
investments increased $785 million during the year to $9.2 billion.
The national banking system continued to maintain adequate
liquidity as evidenced by cash and balances due on demand from
correspondent banks in the amount of $25.7 billion and United States
Government obligations of $39.5 billion or an aggregate of $65.2
billion, which is equal to 82}£ percent of demand deposits and 61 }£
percent of total deposit liabilities at the close of 1954.
Consistent with the essential objective of the Comptroller of the
Currency that adequate capital structures be maintained in the
national bank system, 142 banks completed capital increase programs
in 1954 involving the sale of new shares which yielded $227 million
of additional funds to strengthen their capital structures. The
shareholders of national banks approved 323 dividends payable in
common stock having a total par value of $79.3 million during the
year. In the 9-year period commencing with the year 1946 and ending
with 1954, 1,329 national banks completed new capital sale programs
which supplemented their capital funds by $782 million.
On December 31, 1945, the national banking system had total resources of $90.5 billion, and total deposits of $85.2 billion which were



2

protected by total capital structures and reserves of $4.7 billion.
Nine years later at the end of 1954, total resources were $116 billion,
total deposits $106 billion, and aggregate capital structures and reserves amounted to $8.7 billion. The increase in capital structures
and reserves of national banks amounting to $4 billion over the
9-year period was effected as follows:

Reserves for bad debts authorized late in 1947 and commenced generally in 1948. Valuation reserve
figures not available for these 2 years.

It is significant that the added capital protection provided by
national banks over the period set forth above increased 85 percent
while total resources and deposits increased 28 percent and 24 percent, respectively. While the character and composition of bank
assets underwent a marked change from a large concentration in
obligations of the United States Government amounting to 57 percent of total assets, and a moderate loan volume equal to 15 percent
of total assets, to the present percentages of 34 percent and 35 percent, respectively, and somewhat larger amounts are now invested in
municipal and corporate bonds, it is apparent that the managements
of a great majority of all national banks have recognized and forthrightly met the responsibility to maintain their banks on a properly
capitalized basis. This is further evidenced by the fact that the
national banking system's $8.7 billion of capital funds and reserves
is the equivalent of $1 of capital protection to cover the potential
risks involved in each $5.27 ($5.43 at the close of 1953) of loans,
municipal and corporate bonds, and other assets remaining after deducting from its $116 billion of total assets, $71 billion of cash or its
equivalent, United States Government obligations, and loans or portions of loans guaranteed or insured by Federal Government agencies.
Assets in the national banking system considered by national bank
examiners to contain substantial or unwarranted elements of risk
represent only a nominal amount in relation to the protection offered
by capital structures and reserves. The amount involved is substantially less than the total of reserves for bad debts.
In April 1954, the Internal Revenue Service issued supplemental
Mimeograph No. 54-55, applicable to taxable years after December
31, 1953, permitting the use of an alternative method for computing
the allowable reserve for bad debts that may be established and
maintained by transfers from gross earnings by banks employing the



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

reserve for bad debts method of accounting. While the alternative
has been beneficial in many cases, it does not fully satisfy the needs
of the banking system to enlarge in a very moderate degree its capacity to assume greater risks, particularly those risks involved in loaning funds to smaller and less well-established business concerns.
The new alternative formula permits each bank to key its reserve for
bad debts to its own loss experience for any consecutive 20 years'
period following the year 1927, and this is an improvement over the
original formula based on a loss experience covering the most recent
consecutive 20 years. Both of the existing formulas, by reason of
their being tied into the loss experience of the individual bank, permit the largest reserves to be established by those banks which suffered the greatest loan losses in the past, usually 20 to 25 years ago.
Thus the bank that suffered the heaviest losses many years ago is, in
effect, rewarded today by being permitted to establish the largest
reserves for bad debts.
There is need for a bad-debt reserve formula, not related to the
loss history of the individual bank or groups of banks, but based upon
the sound premise that a normal proportion of loss must be expected
in the business of lending and such losses should be regarded as a
legitimate business expense against which a reasonable initially taxfree reserve should be established. A suitable and soundly based formula would permit banks to create and maintain reserves by transfers from gross earnings at a rate of ){ percent per annum until a
suitable ceiling is reached without reference or as an alternative to a
ceiling based on previous or current loss experience. To accomplish
this it is believed that legislative action would be necessary.
At the end of 1954, 2,594 national banks were maintaining reserves
for bad debts totaling $548 million. These banks held gross loans
aggregating $36.5 billion, or 90 percent of all of the loans of the 4,796
banks in the national banking system. The total of reserves for
bad debts amounted to 1.5 percent of the gross loans of the 2,594
banks maintaining such reserves.
The national banking system continues to meet its full share of
responsibility to care for the essential credit needs of the nation.
Gross loans and discounts in all national banks reached $40.4 billion
at the end of 1954, having fluctuated moderately from the close of
1953 through the third quarter of 1954, but the advance of $2.4'
billion in the last quarter was more than two and one-half times that
for the same period in 1953 and slightly above the expansion for the
fourth quarter of 1952. Modest fluctuations occurred in the volume
of commercial and industrial loans during 1954, the year-end level
standing at $16.5 billion, with the entire $2 billion expansion in gross
loans distributed throughout other major categories, the most significant gain, $1 billion, occurring in loans secured by real estate.
Loans to brokers and dealers in securities gained $312 million, or 30
percent, and amounted to $1,356 million at the year end.
Expansion of less than 2 percent occurred during the year in the
volume of installment credit, repair, modernization, other installment, and single-payment loans which reached a level of $8.2 billion
in the national banking system on December 31. Retail automobile
installment paper continued its decline begun in the fourth quarter
of 1953 and after inconsequential gains in the second and fourth



4

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

quarters of 1954, the volume at the year end reached $2.4 billion.
The total of all installment credit in the Nation although fluctuating
within $1 billion during 1954, stood at $22.4 billion on December
31, of which $8.6 billion, or 38.4 percent, was held by commercial
banks as compared to 40 percent in 1953. The national banking
system alone held $5,781 million of strictly installment loans to
individuals which, after adjustment for nonconsumer-type obligations
and hypothecated deposits representing payments on such loans,
constituted 58 percent of all installment credit loans held by commercial banks.
The total national expenditure for all new construction, public
and private, rose from $35.3 billion in 1953 to $37 billion in 1954.
Residential building accounted for slightly more than half of the total.
Public construction costs in 1954 amounted to $11.5 billion. New
dwelling units started during 1954 numbered over 1.2 million, up
10 percent from 1953, second only to 1950, and 1.1 million units were
actually constructed in 1954, the sixth consecutive year in which
1 million or more homes were placed under construction. The
aggregate cost of new construction and modernization was $54
billion. These activities continued stimulation of a generally heavy
demand for real estate mortgage loans and the total real estate
debt passed $113 billion in 1954 for a gain of more than 12 percent
in 1 year.
In the national banking system, loans guaranteed by the Veterans'
Administration rose 10 percent over the prior year to a total of $2,125
million on December 31. This gain was exceeded by conventional
loans not insured or guaranteed by FHA or VA which increased
nearly 14 percent to a total of $3,085 million. Federal Housing
Administration loans gained $168 million to a total of $2.4 billion.
Total loans secured by residential properties totaled $7.6 billion at
the year end, an increase of $731 million, or 10.6 percent for 1954,
as compared to 6.37 percent for 1953. All loans secured by realty
advanced 11.6 percent to a total of $9.8 billion at the close of the year.
The gross investment of the national banking system in United
States Government obligations, direct and guaranteed, expanded $4
billion during 1954 to $39.5 billion. A trend toward slightly longer
maturities is reflected by the expansion of 136 percent or $8 billion
in the 5- to 10-year group to a total of $13.9 billion, a reduction of
$1.2 billion, or 8.2 percent, in bills, certificates of indebtedness, and
notes, to a total of $14 billion, and a contraction of $3.3 billion or
33 percent in bonds maturing in 5 years or less to a total of $6.9
billion. United States Government bonds maturing in 10 to 20 years
were up only $576 million at the end of 1954 to a total of $3.3 billion.
Obligations of States and political subdivisions held by the national
banking system continued to increase, and at the end of 1954 the
gross amount was $7 billion, up $1 billion, or 14 percent. Other
bonds, notes, and debentures held fairly close to $2 billion throughout
the year.
The volume of special revenue bonds issued during 1954 to finance
toll roads and bridges throughout the Nation rose sharply. In other
years the Comptroller of the Currency has been asked to rule upon
the eligibility of infrequent issues of this type for investment by
national banks. Eligibility of such issues is dependent upon their



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

conformity with the provisions of the Investment Securities Regulation of the Comptroller of the Currency, promulgated pursuant to
United States Revised Statute 5136 (Title 12, U. S. C , sec. 24).
Even though national banks hold in their portfolios only small
amounts of toll road and bridge revenue obligations, most of which
have maturities up to 40 years, because of the heavy expansion in
this type of financing, in 1954 it became necessary for the Comptroller
to consider 14 separate issues that aggregated $2,375,800,000. It is
of interest to note that in January 1954, there were 720 miles of toll
roads operating and 600 more miles were opened during the year.
Another 1,400 miles of such roads are under construction or financed
by bond issues.
The credit worthiness of general obligations of States and municipalities, corporate issues, and special-revenue municipal authority
bonds held in national bank investment portfolios continues high.
The trend toward the combination of banks into larger units
continued in 1954; during the year, 121 national banks absorbed 58
national and 66 State banks, and 40 State banks absorbed 41 national
banks, by means of consolidation, merger, and purchase. The
following schedule contains pertinent details of these transactions:

The shareholders of the 58 banks consolidated or merged with and
into 55 national banks received cash and book value stock of the
continuing banks aggregating $109,055,260, or $1,759,909 in excess of
the aggregate book value of the assets which those banks contributed
to the mergers or consolidations. This excess amounted, on the average, to approximately 0.14 percent of the aggregate deposits acquired
by the continuing banks. On a fair valuation basis, the shareholders
of the 58 absorbed banks contributed assets having an estimated value,
in excess of liability to creditors, of $112,300,020 and received cash
and fair value stock of the continuing banks aggregating $114,255,972,
or $2,955,952 in excess of the aggregate fair value of the assets which
those banks contributed to the mergers or consolidations. This difference is accounted for through fair value appraisals of fixed assets (bank
premises—furniture and fixtures), bond appreciation or depreciation,
allowances for pension fund adjustments, excess reserve for taxes, etc.
This excess amounted, on the average, to approximately 0.22 percent
of the aggregate deposits acquired by the continuing banks.
The shareholders of the 66 national and State banks that were
purchased by 66 national banks received $52,618,344 in
cash, or
$10,052,017 in excess of the book value of the selling banks7 aggregate
capital structures. This amounts, on an average, to 2.1 percent of
the selling banks' deposit liabilities. It should be noted that in such
transactions the payment frequently covers assets having value in
excess of book value, and the records of the Comptroller's office reveal
that the actual premiums paid amount to about $7% million, rather
than $10 million as noted above on a book value basis.
While the number of consolidations, mergers, and sales is relatively
small when compared to the total number of banks, these "mergers"—
to use the term most often applied to these transactions as a whole—
were a significant factor in banking during 1954, and have received
wide publicity. For these reasons the views and policies of the
Comptroller's office toward mergers are set forth here.
In dealing with mergers, consolidations, or purchases, we feel that
it is our duty under the law not to have a fixed policy, either in favor
or in opposition, since we believe that the law requires us to weigh
the merits of each individual case, after determining that it may legally
be effected, in deciding whether our approval should be given. The
one exception to this, of course, is the very rare class of cases (at least
in recent years) in which the consolidation of a very weak bank with
a stronger institution is necessary to protect the banking public. In
all other cases, it is our job to pass upon the proposals which are
brought to us by the management of the banks concerned. When our
approval is requested for a merger or consolidation, we consider
whether the proposal is fair and equitable to the stockholders of the
banks, whether the resulting institution will be capably managed,
soundly capitalized, and in a sound asset condition, and whether there



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

is adequate reason of any kind as to why the merger or consolidation
should not be permitted. We could not properly carry out our responsibilities if we had a prejudice for or against mergers generally.
It should be noted that when national banks combine with other
national banks or with State banks, they do so pursuant to specific
statutory authority; in other words, Congress has specifically granted
to national banks the power to consolidate and merge with other
banks. The power to consolidate under national charter was first
granted by Congress in the act of November 7, 1918.
For many years after 1918, while national banks could consolidate
with other national banks, and with State banks under a national
charter, they could not consolidate directly with State banks under
State charters; it was necessary, if a national and State bank wished
to combine and operate under a State charter, for the national bank to
liquidate and dispose of its business to the State bank.
This situation was changed by the act of August 17, 1950, which is
sometimes called the "two-way street" law. Under the law permitting
consolidations under a national charter, the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required. Our approval, however, is not
required for consolidations or mergers into a State-chartered institution under the "two-way street" law. Since 31 States have passed
legislation providing for such consolidations, and permitting State
banks to consolidate with national banks under national charter
without the approval of any State official, it is now possible in those
States for a national bank to leave the national system by consolidation, merger, or conversion, without the approval of the Comptroller
of the Currency. The passage of this law permitted 43 consolidations
of national banks with State banks under State charter from the time
of its passage on August 17, 1950, until December 31, 1954. During
this same period there were 62 consolidations and mergers of State
banks with national banks under national charter.
Another recent addition to the national banking laws also broadened
to some extent the power of national banks to combine with other
banks. Section 1 of the act of July 14, 1952, provides for "mergers"
of national banks or State banks into national banks. This law was
designed for use in cases in which a large bank is absorbing a much
smaller bank, and the procedure prescribed differs from the procedures
followed in usual "consolidations" under the earlier law in that
dissenting shareholders of the "receiving association"—the large bank
which is absorbing the smaller one—do not have the right to receive
the value of their shares in cash. However, two-thirds vote of the
shareholders of each bank is required. There were 22 mergers under
the procedure prescribed in this law from its passage to December 31,
1954.
We mention all of these laws to give some indication of the legal
climate in which we in the Comptroller's office operate. On the one
hand we have, in the various consolidation and merger statutes, clear
indication that Congress believes that transactions in which banks
combine are, at least in some circumstances, necessary and warranted.
On the other hand, we are aware that a general policy of Congress
against mergers and consolidations which substantially lessen competi-




8

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

tion or tend to create monopoly has been expressed in the Clayton Act.
And, perhaps most important, we must examine each proposal which
comes to us for approval in the light of what we consider to be our
primary duty—the duty to exercise those powers granted to the Comptroller in such a way as to promote a strong and sound banking system,
and one which will grow with American business and industry so that
it can provide the financial services necessary for the continued growth
of our economy.
We have no doubt that the mergers and consolidations which have
been approved by our office in recent years have been in strict compliance with the law, that they have not tended substantially to reduce
competition or to create monopoly, and that they have resulted in
individual banks and a banking system better able to serve the communities affected and the country as a whole. So far as it is possible
to generalize, we believe that the effect of the mergers upon which
we have had to pass has been to make for more rather than less
competition.
There have been some who have viewed with misgivings the substantial reduction in the number of individual banks in the United
States during the last 30 years, from 28,257 in 1925 to 14,388 as of
December 31, 1954. This reduction has resulted from conditions and
pressures both within the banking system itself and in the economy
as a whole.
The greatest reduction occurred, of course, between 1926 and 1939.
As we look back on those years now, we can see that a part of the
banking troubles which we experienced then were the result of an
"overbanked" situation in the country. There is little doubt that
there were just too many banks for the banking business and management talent available, and this condition resulted in large numbers of
bank failures even in times when the country was generally prosperous.
We are certain that none would care to return to a type of situation
in the banking industry which contributed to the problems with which
we were faced in 1930 to 1933.
The period between 1940 and 1949 saw 544 unit banks go out of
existence in consolidations, mergers, and sales involving national
banks. However, the total number of banks remained relatively
stable at'about 15,000. Beginning in 1950 the number of mergers
increased, and since that time 440 commercial banks have been
absorbed in transactions which involved national banks, plus a
number of State-chartered banks that were absorbed by other State
banks.
From January 1, 1950, to December 31, 1954, the Comptroller's
office approved the acquisition by national banks of 157 other national
banks and 177 State-chartered banks through consolidation, merger,
or sale, and saw 106 national banks absorbed by State-chartered
banks after approval by the governing State banking department.
The following table shows the number of banks which have been
absorbed since 1950, and their total resources:

This is a fairly large number of banks, yet the 440 institutions which
have been absorbed represent only 3 percent of the total number of
banks operating today.
The reasons for this recent trend of mergers, consolidations, and
sales can be generalized to some extent, but it should be remembered
that particularly where very large banking institutions are the principals, it is sometimes not possible to apply general reasons to the
situation, and specific study is necessary. However, it might be
helpful to review generally some of the reasons for the desire of banks
to merge or consolidate, and to list some of the basic reasons why the
owners of many of the absorbed banks have been willing and even
eager to sell out, merge, or consolidate with other banks.
1. Top management problems have been among the most important
reasons. In many banks the advancing age of officers, and failure to
provide successor management, has resulted in mergers. In others,
the managing owners have wished to retire from the banking business.
2. Prices or terms have been offered which the shareholders have
found most attractive. These prices or terms have been equal to
book value of the assets, and in many cases have been on a fair-value
basis plus a premium. This has been a particularly strong factor
because the stocks of many banks have a limited market, and sell
at prices below book value. The yield from dividends has not been
very attractive, and this has adversely affected the market price of
the shares. This has been caused not so much by poor earnings as
by the need to augment capital structure from retained earnings.
3. Smaller banks have joined forces in order to provide more effective competition to nearby large institutions.




10

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

4. The failure of some banks to compete on an aggressive and
progressive basis has caused their banks to be left behind by competitors from the standpoint of growth, earnings, and service to the
community.
5. The inability of some smaller banks to meet the borrowing needs
of the community, which are generally larger today than formerly,
has made them wish to become parts of larger organizations.
6. In many cases local business or industrial concerns which were
of major importance to a small-town bank have been sold to large
concerus which have their banking ties in big cities. In these cases
the small bank usually receives a smaller percentage of the banking
business of the concern, and sometimes finds it advantageous to
combine with a larger bank.
7. Fringe welfare benefits and increased compensation available
for officers and employees from the potential absorbing bank have
caused management to back many mergers.
It is also necessary to examine the motives of the continuing banks
in these transactions—the reasons why some banks have desired or
considered it necessary to consolidate or merge with, or purchase
other banks. To some extent these motives overlap with the reasons
given for the banks which are selling, or merging their businesses into
the continuing bank, but we believe that the most important reasons
of the purchasing or acquiring banks are these:
1. The need to obtain banking offices in adjoining areas in order to
obtain to a fuller extent the benefits of volume or retail banking; that
is, serving large numbers of individuals and small businesses whose
accounts and loans are relatively small.
2. The need or desire to obtain banking offices in areas where they
can serve to better advantage the business which they already have.
The postwar movement of population out of our large cities and the
decentralization of industry have been responsible for this.
3. The need for larger loaning limits, and more available deposits
to loan. This need has been caused by the general growth of industry
as a whole.
4. Keen competition with other banks, and the normal urge to excel
in expansion, growth, and earnings.
5. Desire for earnings. The above four factors are related to this
point.
It is not our belief that rising costs and inferior earnings are the
principal cause of the current trend of bank mergers, or that this has
been a major contributing factor. It is necessary to go back to the
1920's to find better earnings per thousand dollars of resources than
banks generally have enjoyed during recent years. We do not mean
to say that bank earnings are high—they are liot. But they have
been as good or better during the period since 1950 than at any time
since 1929.
In approving the consolidations in all cases in which the absorbing
bank was a national bank, we have carefully considered the application of the principles set forth in section 7 of the Clayton Act. We
believe it to be a result of the present healthy state of competition in
American banking that in no case have we felt that a transaction
formally before us for approval has required that we withhold our
approval because its effect might be substantially to lessen compe

tition, or to tend to create a monopoly in banking in the competitive
area affected.
The number of operating banks in the United States on December
31, 1954, was 14,388, and the total number of banking offices, 20,916.
It is our belief, based on close observation and long acquaintance with
the activities of banks, that banking competition has become more
and more effective over the years in bringing about availability of
credit at suitable rates. This, it seems clear, is a most important
consideration in measuring the state of competition in banking. The
pertinent question which we must answer is whether a merger tends
to lessen the availability of credit to worthy seekers of credit. We
believe that the mergers which have occurred have not done so.
Furthermore, we must not lose sight of the fact that commercial
banks, such as the national banks which come within the jurisdiction
of the Comptroller's office, now have competition in a highly important degree from other financial institutions, particularly mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, and life insurance companies. On December 31, 1954, the commercial banks of the country
had assets of $203 billion, 528 mutual savings banks had assets of
$29 billion, and 6,030 savings and loan associations had assets of
$31.7 billion. The assets of life insurance companies are, of course,
very, very large. The mutual savings banks, the savings and loan
associations, and the insurance companies are strong competitors in
the field of real estate lending and for the savings funds of our people.
The life insurance companies are also strong competitors for large
commercial loans, particularly those of longer term.
Taking all factors together, we believe the conclusion is unavoidable
that credit facilities are more readily available to borrowers, large or
small, than ever before. Competition between banking institutions
has increased rather than diminished in recent years, and has been
supplemented by increased activities of other lending agencies. It
continues to be active and effective.
Applications for permission to establish 383 de novo branches, and
149 branches growing out of the consolidation, merger, and sale of
banks with and to national banks were received by the Comptroller
in 1954. Preliminary approval was given to 396 of these applications,
95 were denied, 21 were withdrawn, and 20 were in process of investigation. Eliminating the withdrawn and in process of investigation
applications, 72 percent of the fully processed de novo branch applications received during 1954 were approved. The 149 branch applications growing out of consolidations, mergers, and sales of banks with
and to national banks were approved and represent a continuance of
the existing banking units absorbed in the respective transactions.
Branch applications preliminarily approved during 1954 and prior
years resulted in the establishment of 367 operating branch banking
offices during the year. On an average, there is a lapse of 6 months
between the time preliminary approval is given by the Comptroller
and the actual establishment of the branch as an operating unit.
These 367 branch offices include the continuance by absorbing national banks of 191 offices at the locations of previously existing

national and State-chartered banking units (head offices and branches)
involved in consolidations, mergers, or purchases, and 176 de novo
branch offices established at locations where banking services were not
conveniently available, including 52 bankless communities, or to supplement banking services in areas where additional banking units were
considered to be warranted and necessary.
At the end of 1954, 507 national banks located in 35 States, the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Virgin Islands were operating 2,929 branch banking offices. The States in which branch banking plays an important role are as follows:

1 Statewide branch banking permitted.

The Comptroller of the Currency has pointed out on several occasions that his office does not have a bias in favor of or against branch
banking. In this field, it is the duty of the Comptroller's office to
operate in accordance with the wishes of the people of each State,
since Congress has made the powers of national banks to establish and
operate branches dependent upon the laws of each State. At the end
of 1954, 35 States permitted branch banking, 15 of them on a statewide
basis and 20 on a restricted or limited area basis. The remaining 13
States prohibit branch banking either through specific statutes or the
failure to enact enabling legislation.
States prohibiting branch banking, i. e., Colorado, Florida, Illinois,
Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma,
Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, include several that
are densely populated, so it cannot be said that branch banking is a
concomitant of population density. Neither can it be said that it is
the result of any other unusual banking need in a specific State or
States. The residents and legislatures of certain States have considered
branch banking as a desirable development in banking, and those of
other States have taken an opposite view.
The two largest cities in the country, New York City with branch
banking and Chicago without it, provide an interesting contrast.
New York City (limited to the five boroughs) is served by 111 banks,
including 53 mutual savings banks, and 618 branches, or a total of
729 banking units and branch offices. Chicago is served by 74 unit
banks with no branch offices. Using 1950 census figures, New York
City has one banking office to serve each 10,825 of its population,
Chicago one banking office for each 48,931 of population. One obvious



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

13

conclusion that may be drawn from this is that what is considered
desirable and necessary in the way of banking offices in one State is
looked upon differently in another State. It is believed that competition is just as keen for the available banking business in the city of
Chicago as it is in New York City. However, several basic differences
do exist. It would appear that more convenient banking services are
available to residents of New York City because of the larger number
of banking offices made possible by branches. The greater activity
in New York, and in other branch bank States, in consolidations,
mergers, and sales of banks is made practicable through the ability to
establish branches where offices of the absorbed banks were previously
located. Chicago has a large number of "currency exchanges" which
the general public relies upon rather heavily to cash checks against
payment of a fee fixed by the State. New York City, because of its
large number of banking offices, finds the existence of such currency
exchanges to be less necessary. Despite these interesting and possibly
not too important differences, the credit and general banking needs of
the two huge cities are believed to be adequately served.
Competition among and between banks has given rise to a greater
than normal number of branch applications prompted very heavily by
the competitive factor. Many of the 95 denied branch applications
come, at least in part, within the framework of this factor. Competition is necessary and has a rightful place in many and perhaps all
branch applications, but not to the point where it may lead to unsound
and unprofitable branch offices.
It is significant to note what has happened during the past 30 years
by comparing the number and type of banking units in States which
permit branch banking on a statewide or limited area basis with
banking units in those States which prohibit branch banking, and
relating this comparison to the number of people served per banking
unit.

Contrary to the popular belief that people residing in States where
branch banking is prohibited are served by fewer banking units, the
figures reveal they have proportionately more banking units to serve
their needs. At the end of 1934, 6,116 banks and 103 branches in the
13 States presently prohibiting branch banking served an average of
5,333 people per banking unit. A five-percent reduction in the number
of unit banks, exclusive of branches, occurred in these States during
the 20-year period through 1954, and the remaining 5,807 banks and
161 branches were serving 6,566 people per banking unit. The 14
States which permit statewide branch banking had 1,722 banks and
1,221 branches at the end of 1934, or one banking unit for each 6,591
people. At the end of 1954, these same States were served by 1,320
banks (a 23-percent reduction) and 2,447 branches (a 100-percent
increase), and the 3,767 total banking units were serving 7,676 people
per unit. The 21 States which permit limited area branch banking
had 8,182 banks and 1,750 branches at the end of 1934, or one banking
unit for each 7,020 people. At the end of 1954, these 21 States had
7,201 banks (a 12-percent decrease) and 3,759 branches (a 115-percent
increase), and the 10,960 banking units w^ere serving 7,463 people per
unit.
During the past 20 years, the 13 States prohibiting branch banking
have experienced a 5-percent shrinkage in the total number of unit
banks. The 14 States permitting statewide branch banking have
experienced a 28-percent increase in the total number of banking
offices during this period, and the 21 States permitting limited area
branch banking have experienced a 10-percent increase in the total
number of banking offices. Despite the increased number of banking
offices in the 35 Statesjpermitting branch banking, as compared to a



20

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

decrease in the number of unit banks during the past 20 years in States
which prohibit branch banking, the latter continue to have more
banking offices per thousand of population than is the case in the
branch bank States. The principal answer rests in the fact that population growth has been more rapid in those States where branch banking is permitted.
It is clear in the figures set forth above that where branch banking
is permitted, particularly statewide branch banking, the number of
unit banks is decreasing, as a general rule, and the increased banking
needs of an expanding population are being met by the establishment
of branches. At the end of 1954, 6,206 branch offices were operating
in the 35 branch-bank States, as compared to 2,971 branch offices at the
end of 1934. The unit banks operating in these States decreased in
number from 9,904 to 8,521 during this same period. There was a
decrease in the number of unit banks in the 13 States prohibiting
branch banking during this 20-year period from 6,116 to 5,807, or 309
fewer banks (5 percent shrinkage). It would seem that the 1,383
fewer unit banks in the 35 branch-bank States cannot be attributed
solely to branch banking, but in all probability some 800 or 900 banks
that have gone out of existence would not have done so except for
branch banking. Moreover, the 3,235 additional branches established since the end of 1934 would have resulted in the organization of
a lesser number of unit banks if branch banking had been prohibited.
None of the remarks made herein should be construed as favoring
or opposing branch banking. They are strictly factual comments
designed to acquaint the Congress with the background, trend, and
present position of branch banking in the Nation's banking picture.
Many areas would be without banking services if it were not possible
to establish branches which are less costly to operate. Branch
banking is making inroads into the number of unit banks, but it
provides, in many instances, a ready market for the sale of banks that
would otherwise have a very limited market.
The pros and cons of branch banking are many, but the fact
remains that it is the privilege of the several States to decide whether
it should be permitted or prohibited.
The comparisons made in the above comments have been limited to
the period between 1934 and 1954. The country was overbanked in
1924, but much of this had been corrected by 1934. The 1924
statistics have been incorporated largely to show the position at that
time with the situation as it exists today.
The following sumary of the 176 de novo branch offices of national
banks that opened for business in 1954 is of interest, particularly
from the standpoint that it reveals 29 percent of the new banking
offices were created to serve formerly bankless communities:
Description:
Number
In cities with population less than 5,000 (includes 34 communities
that were bankless prior to the establishment of a branch)
48
In cities with population from 5,000 to 25,000 (includes 12 communities that were bankless prior to the establishment of a branch)
38
In suburban areas of large cities (includes 6 communities that were
bankless prior to the establishment of a branch)
15
In cities with population from 25,000 to 50,000
25
In cities with population of over 50,000

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Thirty-five firm applications to charter new national banks were
considered by the Comptroller's office during 1954. The applications
were received from groups of individuals residing in 19 different
States. After careful investigation and study, 20 of the applications
were approved and 15 denied. The most common reason for the
inability of the office to approve a larger percentage of the new charter
applications centered in an inadequate need of the community or
area for an additional bank |with resulting poor prospects for its
profitable operation.
The earnings of national banks were satisfactory for the year 1954.
The greater than normal net asset losses (after allowing for all bond
profits and recoveries) of $151 million suffered in 1953 were recouped
in 1954 to the extent of $149 million. Both figures were greatly
influenced by losses on securities sold (1953) and profits on securities
sold (1954).
Net earnings from operations, in relation to year-end total resources
and capital funds, were slightly less in 1954 than they were in 1953,
largely because of an increase in operating expenses accompanied by
a slight decrease in operating earnings. Nevertheless, operating
results were satisfactory, and when combined with net asset recoveries and bond profits, after allowing for all asset losses, the national
banking system was able to pay $300 million in cash dividends, or a
return of 3.70 percent on year-end total capital funds (3.88 percent
on average capital funds for the year), and retain $547 million to
augment capital funds and reserves.
The schedule set forth below incorporates full details on this subject,
plus a comparison with earnings for the year 1928, which is of interest
in relation to current-day earnings results. (An additional detailed
commentary on 1954 earnings appears elsewhere in this report.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
Legislation Proposed

In the 1953 Annual Report of the Comptroller of the Currency it
was stated that the Comptroller had under consideration a legislative
proposal that would provide elasticity to the requirement of the
present law that all national banks be examined twice in each calendar
year by permitting the Comptroller, in his discretion, to waive one
such examination in justified cases. The legislation would provide,
however, that examination of a particular bank may not be waived
more frequently than once during each 2-year period beginning January 1, 1955. This legislation would also permit the Comptroller to
assess the expenses of examinations upon the banks in proportion to
their assets and resources upon any date or dates selected by him,
rather than on the dates of examination, and would provide that the
annual rate of assessment shall be the same for all banks examined
not more than twice in 1 calendar year. Banks examined more
frequently than twice will be assessed in addition the costs of the
additional examinations. This legislation has now been drafted and
transmitted to Congress with a recommendation that it be enacted.
In the 1953 Annual Report of the Comptroller of the Currency it
was stated that proposed legislation had been drafted which would
amend section 24 of the Federal Reserve Act (1) by permitting national banks to make amortized mortgage loans having a maturity
of longer than 10 years but not in excess of 20 years, provided the
terms are such that the installment payments are sufficient to amortize
100 percent of the principal of the loan within a term of 20 years, and
(2) by extending the maximum duration of residential and farm construction loans which are not to be regarded as real estate loans
from 6 to 9 months. This proposed legislation, which was recommended by the President of the United States in his Economic Report
of January 1955 (p. 60), has now been transmitted to Congress with
a recommendation that it be enacted.
In the 1952 and 1953 Annual Reports of the Comptroller of the
Currency it was stated that there had been transmitted to Congress
proposed legislation that would amend section 5221 of the Revised
Statutes by eliminating the requirement that national banks going
into voluntary liquidation be required to publish notice of this fact
in a newspaper published in the city of New York. This legislation
has again been transmitted to Congress with a recommendation that
it be enacted.
Under present law three-fourths of the directors of a national bank
must reside in the State in which the bank is located or within 50
miles of the location of the bank. In the light of modern transportation this 50-mile limitation is unduly restrictive. Hence legislation
which would change the 50-mile limitation to a 100-mile limitation
has been drafted and transmitted to Congress with a recommendation
that it be enacted.
There has been introduced in Congress legislation which would
eliminate mandatory cumulative voting in the election of directors of
national banks. This legislation would, however, permit cumulative
voting if provided for in a bank's articles of association. The experience of the Comptroller's office has been that cumulative voting when
resorted to in national banks, is used primarily for the purpose of



BEPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

23

placing on a particular board a director who is not congenial with the
remaining directors, thereby causing disharmony in the bank. The
Comptroller is in favor of the proposed legislation.
There has come to light recently a competitive advantage given to
State banks over national banks in the State of Massachusetts by
certain provisions of the Massachusetts tax laws. That State taxes
interest received by depositors on savings deposits in national banks,
but exempts from taxation interest received by depositors on their
deposits in State savings or commercial banks. In addition, State
savings banks which are taxed on their deposits may deduct from the
gross amounts of their deposits subject to taxation the amounts invested by them in stock of State commercial banks, but they may not
deduct the amounts invested by them in the stock of national banks.
These provisions of the State tax laws operate to the detriment of
the national banking system in the State of Massachusetts. Consideration is being given to appropriate steps which might be taken
to correct this situation.
Legislation Enacted

Public Law 460 of the 83d Congress, approved June 30, 1954,
eliminated the conflict between sections 23A and 24A of the Federal
Reserve Act as to the permissive investment by national banks in the
stock of corporations engaged in holding bank premises, by making
section 23A completely inapplicable to corporations engaged solely in
owning and operating the building or buildings in which are housed
the offices of the bank. Consequently, national banks may now own
their banking premises either through a direct investment in such
premises, or by investing in the stock of a corporation engaged solely
in owning and operating the bank premises.
Public Law 520 of the 83d Congress, approved July 22, 1954,
amended section 24 of the Federal Reserve Act dealing with real
estate loans which may be made by national banks, by excepting from
the restrictions or limitations of that section loans in which the Small
Business Administration cooperates or purchases a participation under
the Small Business Act of 1953. This legislation was recommended
by the Comptroller at the request of the Small Business Administration.
Public Law 560 of the 83d Congress, approved August 2, 1954, the
"Housing Act of 1954," created a Federal National Mortgage Association, directed the Association to require each mortgage seller to make
certain nonrefundable capital contributions to the Associations,
authorized national banks to make such nonrefundable capital contributions, to receive stock of the Association evidencing such capital
contributions and to hold or dispose of such stock, and to deal in,
underwrite, and purchase for its own account, obligations of the
Association.
Public Law 576 of the 83d Congress, approved August 10, 1954,
amended the District of Columbia Credit Unions Act by transferring
supervision of the 16 District-chartered credit unions from the
Comptroller of the Currency to the Director of the Bureau of Federal
Credit Unions. This legislation was recommended by the Comptroller.



24

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Public Law 597 of the 83d Congress, approved August 17, 1954,
amended the Act of August 28, 1937, by adding provisions which
authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a program of
insuring loans made for the purpose of financing soil and water conservation improvements and practices. This legislation amended
section 24 of the Federal Reserve Act dealing with real estate loans
which may be made by national banks, by making certain limitations
and restrictions contained in that section inapplicable to such insured
loans.
Public Law 630 of the 83d Congress, approved August 23, 1954,
authorized the Central Bank for Cooperatives and the regional banks
for cooperatives to issue consolidated debentures and authorized
national banks to deal in and underwrite such of these consolidated
debentures as are eligible for purchase by national banks, in amounts
up to 10 percent of their captial stock and surplus.
Bank Holding Company Legislation
Each of the past several Congresses has had before it legislation
designed to further regulate and control bank holding companies.
During the year 1954, the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency
concluded hearings begun in 1953 on S. 76 and S. 1118, both on this
subject. However, no action was taken by the committee with respect
to the proposed legislation.
The Comptroller of the Currency continues to favor bank holding
company legislation which would provide Federal supervisory control
over expansion through the acquisition of banks and bank stocks and
restraints on engaging in businesses other than banking. In the
opinion of the Comptroller, such legislation should be reasonable and
should place no arbitrary limitations on expansion within the banking
field, but should leave the extent of permissible expansion to the
discretion of the administering supervisory agency, which will be able
to act in the light of conditions as they exist at the time action is
requested. There should be no attempt to base restrictions on expansion on the laws of the various States dealing with branch banking,
and there should be no geographical limitations written into the law.
The legislation should be administered by a single supervisory
agency, and there should be no veto power on its decisions in other
agencies or in the State banking authorities. The legislation should
specify, however, that the other Federal supervisory agencies and the
appropriate State banking authorities should be given an opportunity
to comment upon applications affecting banks within their respective
jurisdictions, and that their opinions should be considered by the
agency making the final decision.
Litigation
During the year 1954 the Comptroller became involved in three
cases of litigation. In the first of these the Delaware County National Bank of Chester, Pa., filed suit in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the Comp-




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

25

troller of the Currency alleging that his action in approving the establishment and operation of a branch in Chester by the Philadelphia
National Bank had been unlawful. Subsequent to the filing of this
suit, a similar suit brought by the Delaware County National Bank
against the State banking officials who had approved the establishment
and operation of a branch in Chester by a State-chartered trust
company located in Philadelphia, was decided adversely to the contentions of the plaintiff. Following this decision, and because of the
fact that substantially the same issue of law was involved in each of
the two cases, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed its action against
the Comptroller.
The second suit was one brought by the Michigan National Bank
of Lansing, Mich., against the Comptroller of the Currency seeking
a declaratory judgment that the Comptroller is not precluded by
Michigan law from approving the establishment by the bank of an
additional branch in Saginaw, Mich., where it already has one branch.
The Comptroller had declined to approve the branch on the grounds
that under the applicable statutes the branch cannot legally be
established. The Comptroller's decision in this matter was in accord
with opinions rendered on the legal questions involved by the Attorney
General of the State of Michigan, by counsel for the Comptroller's
office, and the General Counsel of the Treasury Department. This
litigation is now pending before the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia.
The third case of litigation in which the Comptroller became involved during 1954 was a suit between the First National Bank of
Auburn, Ala., and the United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. The
reports of examination made by the Comptroller's examiners and
furnished to the bank for the use of its directors, together with all
correspondence between the Comptroller's office and the bank over
a period of years, were subpoenaed. The Comptroller has always maintained the position that these documents are confidential papers of
the Treasury Department and that they are privileged against disclosure. Accordingly, an assertion of interest and claim of privilege
was filed in this litigation on behalf of the Comptroller by A. N.
Overby, Acting Secretary of the Treasury. This matter was heard
before the United States District Court for the Middle District of
Alabama and the assertion of interest and claim of privilege was
denied. The Treasury Department, acting through the Department
of Justice, appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit, and the case is now pending before that court.

A comparison of the assets and liabilities of the banks in the national banking system as of December 31, 1953, April 15, June 30,
October 7, and December 31, 1954, reported pursuant to calls for

FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES OF NATIONAL BANKS

As of December 31, 1954, there were 1,759 national banks which
had been authorized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to administer fiduciary accounts, either full or limited.
Under these authorizations there were also 67 trust departments in
branches of national banks. There were 256 banks not acting under
any of their granted fiduciary powers. During the year ended
December 31, 1954, there were 1,480 head office trust department
examinations conducted and 62 branch examinations, making a total
of 1,542 examinations of trust departments in national banks.
Trust department assets totaled $47,939,000,000 as of December 31,
1954, compared to $43,150,000,000 as of December 31, 1953, and to
$3,297,300,000 as of October 3, 1928. While carrying values for
trust department assets have not been standardized throughout the
country, there have been relatively few changes of system within
individual organizations. Because of the relatively few changes of



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

29

system, these figures are comparable although they do not reflect
total current market values. Fiduciary accounting does not permit
the maintenance or tabulation of statistics based upon current market
values. The total trust department assets included $30,738,000,000
in agency, escrow, and custodianship accounts held in trust departments of national banks but involving no discretionary supervision.
Outstanding bond and debenture issues for which national banks
were acting as trustee totaled $19,486,000,000 in 8,011 accounts as
of December 31, 1954. There were $17,626,000,000 outstanding as
of December 31, 1953, compared to $9,036,000,000 as of December
31, 1942. National banks were also acting as registrar for 3,773
accounts, and as transfer agent for 3,508 accounts.
Use of fiduciary facilities of national banks by individuals has
shown a substantial growth. As of October 3, 1928, a tabulation of
reports reflected 53,853 individual fiduciary accounts being administered by national banks. As of December 31, 1954, a total of 289,189
private, court and agency accounts were being administered, compared to 271,704 under administration as of December 31, 1953.
Under authority of Regulation F issued by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System governing the fiduciary activities of
national banks, there were 88 common trust funds in operation in 78
national banks. These common trust funds have been established to
make collective investments of trust funds primarily in the smaller
fiduciary accounts, thereby resulting in wider diversification of investment and less risk of loss to the individual accounts. The common
trust funds in national banks aggregated $277,000,000 as of December
31, 1954, compared to $214,000,000 as of December 31, 1953.
A tabulation of the statements of the larger trust departments in
national banks having in excess of $70,000,000 total fiduciary assets at
carrying values reflects an aggregate of $40,746,000,000 total assets in
71 banks. In other words, 4.7 percent of the 1,503 national banks
exercising fiduciary powers were administering 85 percent of the
fiduciary business of all national banks. There were many national
banks administering fiduciary accounts aggregating less than $1,000,000
at carrying values, and in nearly every one of these banks the carrying
values represented approximately the value at time of acquisition.
Many firms and corporations are establishing pension or profit
sharing plans for their employees, and in many cases a trust under such
plans is established with a national ba,nk as trustee. Similarly, many
national banks place their own pension and profit sharing trusts in
their own trust departments. In the great majority of cases the funds
of these trusts are invested in accordance with well recognized sound
principles of trust investment, but a very few instances have been
found in which the trust funds appear to be invested in a manner more
in the interest of the business of the bank rather than in the interest of
the employees as beneficiaries of the trusts. The use of trust funds for
the purchase of banking property or equipment to be leased back to the
bank, and the purchase of a substantial amount of shares possibly
representing control of banks other than the trustee, are practices
which have been noted in a few instances. If such practices should
increase to any extent it may be necessary to seek preventative
legislation.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Practically all national banks which have been granted fiduciary
powers by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System are
endeavoring to supervise and administer their trust departments in full
accordance with the provisions of law and sound fiduciary practice.
The interests of the various beneficiaries are given prime consideration
and the losses in national banks due to faulty administration of
fiduciary accounts continues to be almost negligible.
EARNINGS, EXPENSES, AND DIVIDENDS OF NATIONAL BANKS FOR
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1954
The net profits of national banks before dividends for the calendar
year 1954 were $741,000,000, which amounted to 9.58 percent of
average capital funds. Net profits for the previous year were $573,000,000, or 7.92 percent of average capital funds. Cash dividends
declared on common and preferred stock in 1954 totaled $300,000,000
in comparison with $275,000,000 in the previous year. The rate was
3.88 percent of average capital funds. These dividends were 40 percent of net profits available for the year. The remaining 60 percent of
net profits, or $441,000,000 was retained by the banks in their capital
funds.
Net earnings from operations for the calendar year 1954 of $1,230,000,000 showed an increase of $7,000,000 over the year 1953. Recoveries and profits on securities sold or redeemed, net of all losses,
amounted to $205,000,000 (including $919,000 of recoveries and profits
credited directly to valuation reserves and $8,000,000 of losses charged
directly to such reserves) as compared to a net loss of $87,000,000 on
securities sold or redeemed during the year 1953. Losses on loans and
other assets, net of all recoveries, amounted to $56,000,000 (including
recoveries of $27,000,000 credited directly to valuation reserves and
losses of $54,000,000 charged directly to such reserves) as compared to
net losses on such assets of $64,000,000 in. 1953. Reserves for bad
debts and valuation reserves amounting to $792,000,000 showed a net
increase of $106,000,000 during 1954 as compared to a net increase of
$33,000,000 during 1953.
Gross earnings were $3,226,000,000, an increase of $158,000,000 over
1953, and operating expenses, excluding taxes on net income, amounting to $1,996,000,000 were up $152,000,000 over 1953. Taxes on net
income of $532,000,000 were $66,000,000 more than in the previous
year. Principal items of operating earnings in 1954 were $1,802,000,000 from interest and discount on loans, an increase of $50,000,000 over
1953, and $734,000,000 from interest on United States Government
obligations, an increase of $39,000,000. Other principal operating
earnings were $189,000,000 from interest and dividends on securities
other than United States Government, and $175,000,000 from service
charges on deposit accounts. Principal operating expenses were
$972,000,000 for salaries and wages of officers and employees and fees
paid to directors, an increase of $62,000,000, and $344,000,000 expended for interest on time deposits, an increase of $45,000,000.
Interest and discount on loans accounted for 56 percent of the
banks7 earnings, varying from 49 percent in the 7th Federal Reserve
District to 60 percent in the 11th and 12th districts. Interest and
dividends on securities represented 29 percent of gross earnings for



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

31

the year, with the banks in the 12th district showing the lowest ratio
of 23 percent, while banks in the 7th district showed 37 percent, the
highest ratio. Salaries, wages, and fees took 30 percent of gross
earnings, ranging from 28.5 percent in the 4th district to 32 percent
in the 1st and 10th districts. Current operating earnings before
income taxes were more than 38 percent of gross earnings, ranging
from 36 percent in the 6th district to 40 percent in the 4th district.
The rate of interest and discount on the average loans and discounts
for the year varied from 4.05 percent in the 2d district to 5.20 percent
in the 12th district. The national average was 4.68 percent. The
rate of interest and dividends received on the average securities held
was 2.01 percent, and varied from 1.95 percent at the banks in the
1st, 2d, and 10th districts to 2.12 percent for banks in the 11th district.
Current operating earnings before income taxes were 16 percent
on the average total capital accounts, varying from 12 percent in the
3d district to 22 percent in the 12th district. Net profits after income
taxes but before dividends were, as noted above, 9.58 percent on the
average capital accounts, ranging from 7.00 percent in the 1st district
to 11.69 percent in the 12th district.
Summaries of the earnings, expenses, and dividends of national
banks for the years ended December 31, 1953 and 1954, are shown

NOTE.—Figures for nonnational banks obtained from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

REPORTS FROM BANKS

National banks in the continental United States, Alaska, the Territory of Hawaii, and the Virgin Islands of the United States were, in
accordance with the provisions of section 5211 of the Revised Statutes,
called upon to submit four reports of condition during the year ended
December 31, 1954. Reports were required as of April 15, June 30,
October 7, and December 31. Summaries from all condition reports,
by States, are published in pamphlet form. National banks were
also required by statute to obtain reports, unless waived by the
Comptroller, of their affiliates and holding company affiliates other
than member banks as of the four dates for which condition reports
of the banks were obtained and to submit such reports to the Comptroller.
Under the general powers conferred upon him by law, the Comptroller
obtained from each national bank during the period indicated semiannual reports of earnings, expenses, and dividends; also reports of
condition of foreign branches as of December 31, 1954.
National banking associations authorized to act in a fiduciary capacity were called upon to submit reports of their trust departments
as of the close of business on December 31, 1954.
In accordance with section 298 of the code of law for the District
of Columbia, banks other than national in the District were required



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

37

to make to the Comptroller condition reports and reports of earnings,
expenses, and dividends identical with those obtained from national
banks during the year.
Detailed figures from reports of condition and earnings and dividends will be found in the appendix of this report.
AFFILIATES AND HOLDING COMPANY AFFILIATES OF
NATIONAL BANKS

The Federal statute requires each national bank to obtain and submit to the Comptroller periodically reports of its affiliates, as defined
in sections 2 (b) and (c) of the Banking Act of 1933, as amended.
However, section 21 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, provides
in part that the Comptroller may w&rve the requirement for the submission of the report of an affiliate if in his judgment such a report is
not necessary to disclose fully the relations between an affiliate and a
bank and the effect thereof upon the affairs of the bank. Pursuant
to this latter section the Comptroller's waiver of requirement for
reports of affiliates provides principally that reports of affiliates (other
than holding company affiliates) need not be submitted and published
in a newspaper unless the affiliate is indebted to the national bank or
the bank owns obligations of the affiliate and the aggregate of such
indebtedness or investment is carried as an asset on the bank's books
at a value in excess of $5,000, or 1 percent of the bank's capital and
surplus, whichever is the greater.
At the end of December 1954, 288 member national banks in the
United States submitted 323 reports of affiliates. Included in these
figures are 177 banks in 22 States which are members of 21 holding
company groups. The number of banks in each holding company
group varied from 1 to 49. The actual number of reporting affiliates
and holding company affiliates was 167.
In addition there were two nonnational banks in the District of
Columbia which are members of the Federal Reserve System that
reported three affiliates to the Comptroller pursuant to the provisions
of the code of law for the District of Columbia.
LIQUIDATION OF INSOLVENT NATIONAL BANKS

During the year ended December 31, 1954, there were no failures
of national banks. No liquidations of insolvent national banks were
completed during the year, leaving but one national bank receivership
in process of liquidation as of December 31, 1954. This one remaining
receivership was involved in litigation.
ISSUE AND REDEMPTION OF NOTES
Nine hundred and twenty-nine shipments of Federal Reserve
currency were made from Washington, D. C , during the year ended
December 31, 1954, to Federal Reserve agents and Federal Reserve
branch banks, aggregating $7,315,460,000, and in addition, 22 deliveries were made to the Treasurer of the United States aggregating
$101,560,000.
Five thousand four hundred and twenty-one lots of unfit Federal
Reserve currency were received for verification and certification for



38

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

destruction consisting of 586,915,738 notes aggregating $6,953,341,085.
There were received 35 lots of national bank notes for verification
and certification for retirement and destruction consisting of 206,770
notes aggregating $3,357,715.
One hundred sixty-four thousand four hundred and sixty-five
fragments or charred Federal Reserve and national bank notes
aggregating $2,845,215 were presented by the Treasurer of the United
States for identification and approval.
EXAMINATION OF NATIONAL BANKS
The National Bank Act requires that each national bank be examined at least twice each year in order that the Comptroller may be
kept currently informed of its condition and require such corrections
as are deemed necessary with a view to maintaining each bank in
sound condition. In addition to the regular examinations, special
examinations are conducted of banks the condition of which is regarded as unsatisfactory.
During the year ended December 31, 1954, 8,644 examinations of
banks, 4,947 examinations of branches, 1,542 examinations of trust
departments, and 33 examinations of affiliates were conducted.
Twenty-six State banks were examined in connection with conversions
to or consolidations with national banks. Investigations were also
conducted in connection with applications for 45 new charters and 321
new branches.
ORGANIZATION AND STAFF

On December 31,1954, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
had in its employ 1,111 persons. Of these, 198 were assigned to the
Washington office, including 33 in the Federal Keserve Issue and Redemption Division, which is an. expense of the Federal Eeserve banks.
During the year the total personnel in the Washington office was
increased by 2 and the total field force was increased by 6 persons.
Thirty-two national bank examiners and 66 assistant national bank
examiners left the service during the year. In the same period 29
assistants were commissioned national bank examiners, while 101 new
assistants were appointed and 3 returned from military furlough, leaving a total of 253 examiners and 545 assistants in the service at the
end of the year.
District Chief National Bank Examiner Walter A. Sandlin, in charge
of the Dallas office, retired on September 30, 1954, and District Chief
National Bank Examiner Reed Dolan was transferred from the St.
Louis office to succeed him. Mr. Clarence R. Anderson, a career
employee who has served as Assistant National Bank Examiner,
National Bank Examiner, and Assistant Chief National Bank Examiner, was appointed to succeed Mr. Dolan.
During the year National Bank Examiners Chapman C. Fleming
and Clarence B. Redman were promoted to Assistant Chief National
Bank Examiners in our Washington office, both of them having served
on the examining staff of the Comptroller's office for many years.
In the last annual report reference was made to conferences had
with the Civil Service Commission with respect to the continuance
of the recruitment of assistant national bank examiners on an excepted



39

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

basis and to the Comptroller's intention to request legislation which
would enable him to appoint suitable men for employment as assistant
examiners under the long-established existing procedures. This matter
is still pending, no legislation having as yet been submitted to Congress due to continued negotiations with the Commission. Although
the present exception from civil service requirements will expire on
June 30, 1955, it now appears that continuance of the exception under
schedule B will be approved by the Civil Service Commission.
During the year the educational program previously initiated for
members of the examining staff was continued. Under this program
assistant examiners are encouraged to enroll at office expense in extension courses given by the American Institute of Banking, the educational organization sponsored and conducted by the American Bankers
Association. Senior members of the examining staff are also offered
the opportunity of attending, also at office expense, one of the four
graduate schools of banking conducted by the American Bankers
Association at Rutgers University, the University of Wisconsin, the
University of Washington, and the University of Louisiana. In addition, the joint training program conducted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, established
in 1952, has been continued. The program was established to improve
training procedures for newly appointed assistant examiners and newly
commissioned national bank examiners, to shorten the training period,
and to produce better examiners. As of December 31, 1954, 172 of
the present members of the examining staff had completed the American Institute of Banking courses offered, 24 had completed the
graduate school courses, and 45 the interagency courses.

Act of Dec. 28,1922, minimum number of calls reduced from 5 to 3 per year.
Act of Feb. 25,1927, authorized a vice president or an assistant cashier designated by the board of directors
to verify reports of condition in absence of president and cashier.
Act of June 16,1933, requires each national bank to furnish and publish not less than 3 reports each year
of affiliates other than member banks, as of dates identical with those for which the Comptroller shall
during such year require reports of condition of the bank. The report of each affiliate shall contain such
information as in the judgment of the Comptroller shall be necessary to disclose fully the relations between
the affiliate and the bank and to enable the Comptroller to inform himself as to the effect of such relations
upon the affairs of the bank.
Sec. 21 (a) of the Banking Act of 1933 provided, in part, that after June 16, 1934, it would be unlawful for
any private bank not under State supervision to continue the transaction of business unless it submitted
to periodic examination by the Comptroller of the Currency or the Federal Reserve bank of the district,
and made and published periodic reports of condition the same as required of national banks under section
5211, U. S. R. S. Sec. 21 (a) of the Banking Act of 1933, however, was amended by section 303 of the Banking Act of 1935, approved Aug. 23,1935, under the provisions of which private banks are no longer required
to submit to examination by the Comptroller or Federal Reserve bank, nor are they required to make tc
the Comptroller and publish periodic reports of condition. (5 calls for reports of condition of private
banks were made by the Comptroller, the first one for June 30, 1934, and the last one for June 29, 1935.)
