ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE

COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY
STATUS OF NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM

The 4,659 national banks with total assets of $117,701,982,000 at
December 31, 1956, maintained their relative position in the Nation's
banking. They held approximately 47 percent of the banking assets
in the commercial and savings banks of the Nation, and 54 percent
of the commercial banking assets, while State-chartered commercial
banks and trust companies, numbering 9,001, held assets of $101
billion, and 528 State-chartered mutual savings banks had assets
of $33.3 billion. For all banks, assets were $252 billion, an increase of
$8.8 billion for the year, which were held in the following types and
categories of banks:

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Growth of Financial Institutions
Commercial bank assets increased $6.8 billion over 1955. The
3.2 percent increase was below the average annual growth of 4.5
percent during the past decade. The most rapid growth has occurred
in savings and loan associations and mutual savings banks which have
been in position to offer more attractive savings interest rates because
of their favorable tax status and lower liquidity requirements. Effective January 1, 1957, most of the Nation's commercial banks were
permitted to make upward revisions in savings interest rates. Whether
this will enable the commercial banks to compete more effectively with
the mutual type organizations remains to be seen. Relative growth
by classes during the past ten-year period is presented in the following

Status oj National Banks
A reduction in the number of national banks in the national banking
system from 4,700 to 4,659 is accounted for through consolidations,
mergers, sales, and a few conversions which occurred during 1956.
The total assets held by the system at the year end amounted to
$117.7 billion reflecting a gain of nearly $4 billion during the year.
Of this gain $326 million came through assets acquired in the absorption of State banks by national banks by consolidations, mergers, and
purchases, and the conversion of 10 State banks into national banks,
and represents the net gain in excess of the aggregate assets of national
banks which flowed into the various State banking systems through
similar transactions. With a few exceptions, the national banks continue to maintain an excellent condition as measured by the basic
tests of competency of management, soundness of assets, capital adequacy, and earning capacity.
Deposits
During 1956, the total deposits of all national banks increased $3.3
billion thereby raising the year end total to $107.5 billion as compared
to $104.2 billion at the end of 1955. The increase for the year 1955
was $3.9 billion.
The need for a higher interest rate to permit commercial banks to
achieve a better measure of competitive equality in the field of savings
and time deposits became more critical during 1956. Late in the year
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a supplement to Regulation Q, effective January 1, 1957, which raised from



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

2){ percent to 3 percent the maximum rate of interest a member bank
may pay on time and savings deposits and similar action was taken
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for nonmember insured
banks. This departure from the 2% percent maximum rate in effect
since February 1, 1935, was in recognition of the general rise which
had been taking place in interest rates. Many national banks
promptly revised their savings interest rates upward, some to the
maximum permitted by the Regulation. At this time it is too early
to determine whether the increased rates will result in commercial
banks obtaining an importantly larger proportion of available savings
and time deposits. Mutual-type associations enjoy tax advantages
over commercial banks, maintain loan positions (with attendant earnings advantages) that the liquidity requirements of commercial banks
will not permit, and have also been able to place in effect higher rates
of interest for deposits or share accounts.
Loans
After deducting Reserves for Bad Debts and valuation reserves of
$833.5 million, national banks held net loans of $48.2 billion at the
end of 1956, an increase of $4.6 billion over the net total of $43.6
billion reported at the close of the previous year. Loans to commercial
and industrial type borrowers increased $2.8 billion to a total of $21.1
billion at the year end. This category of loans now constitutes 43
percent of national system portfolios, up 2 percent from the prior
year end.
Nonfarm housing units on which construction was started in 1956
numbered 1,120,000, approximately 209,000 less than those started
in 1955. The value of all types of new construction activity in 1956
has been estimated at $44.3 billion with business construction accounting for most of the gain of $1.3 billion during the year.
That portion of the real estate mortgage debt of the nation secured
by residential properties (1 to 4 family houses) totalled $99.1 billion
at the close of 1956 reflecting an increase of $10.9 billion for the year
as compared to a gain of $12.5 billion for the prior year. The 1956
increase in the total of all types of real estate mortgage loans was
$14.7 billion whereas the gain reported for 1955 was $16.2 billion.
Farm mortgage debt reported at $9.7 billion was up less than 8
percent from the close of 1955. National banks held real estate
mortgage loans at the end of 1955 and 1956 as follows:

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

The $12 billion of real estate mortgage loans held by national
banks at the end of 1956 constituted approximately 25 percent of their
net loans and discounts. The $1 billion by which national banks
increased their holdings of real estate mortgage loans constitutes
about 7 percent of the $14.7 billion reported increase for all types of
such loans in the Nation in the year 1956. National banks acquired
about 8 percent of the Nation's increase in such loans in 1955.
Each national bank is required by law to restrict its total investment in real estate mortgage loans, excepting those loans which are
insured or guaranteed to the extent of 20 percent or more by the
Veterans Administration, to an amount not exceeding 60 percent of its
time and savings deposits or 100 percent of capital and surplus, whichever is the greater. The $9.7 billion in real estate mortgage loans
which are subject to this limitation equals 36.9 percent of the $26.3
billion of time and savings deposits held by the national banking
system.
The Nation's consumer debt continues to rise and reached an estimated $41.9 billion at the year end as compared to $38.6 billion at the
end of 1955, an increase of $3.3 billion.* Instalment credit at the
close of 1956 is estimated at $31.6 billion of which $14.4 billion or
45.6 percent is represented by automobile paper, nearly 1 percent less
than the proportion which existed at the end of 1955.
The total amount of instalment type personal and consumer loans
held by the national banking system at the year end was $7.5 billion,
up $777.5 million from the end of 1955. The holdings of these types
of instalment loans by national banks represented 23.7 percent of
such loans held by all financial institutions and retail outlets of the
Nation. Automobile loans held by national banks totalled $3.5
billion, up $293.7 million for the year, and constituted 46.7 percent
of all instalment loans held by such banks.
Generally, national banks have maintained sound standards of
down payment and maturity terms for automobile paper accepted
during 1956. On the basis of information assembled from 1956
reports of examination of 3,856 national banks which segregate instalment paper in their loan portfolios or hold such paper in an aggregate amount equal to 10 percent or more of their loan accounts, only
14 banks were offering automobile loan terms or accepting dealer
paper upon terms which appeared subject to criticism. Subsequent
to the examinations, some of these banks have revised their terms to
more conservative limits or have such a revision under consideration.
The new examination report forms dealing with instalment credit
which have been in use since August 16, 1955 are thought to have
been beneficial and helpful from a supervisory standpoint, and also
because bank management has the opportunity to consider graphic
presentation of policy weakness if it exists and adopt suitable strengthening measures. The following schedule provides details on the down
payment and maturity policies of the 3,856 national banks abovementioned divided into three size groups.
•Consumer Credit Statistics have been revised on the basis of data which became available recently.
The revision raised the estimate of total consumer credit outstanding as of December 31,1955, by about 7
percent or $2.4 billion. Comments relating to these statistics contained herein take into account the revised
data which were not available at the time the 93rd Annual Report of the Comptroller of the Currency—1955
was prepared

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Liquidity
A continuing increase in loan volume in 1956 affected the liquidity
of national banks less than in either 1954 or 1955. Demand deposits
at the end of 1956 were 74 percent covered and total deposits 54.7
percent covered by cash, balances due on demand from correspondent
and reserve banks, and United States Government securities, as
opposed to 77 percent and 57 percent, respectively, at the 1955 year
end. At the close of 1954 such liquid assets covered 82.3 percent of
demand deposits and 61.3 percent of total deposit liabilities.
Investment Accounts
Total investment accounts of national banks continued to decline
in 1956 and amounted to $40.5 billion at the end of the year, a reduction of $2.3 billion of which $2 billion were in obligations of the
United States. During the last half of the year there was an increase
of $1 billion in holdings of United States obligations and the rate of
addition to these holdings appeared to have accelerated in the last
quarter. The reduction of investments provided an important
source of funds to satisfy the demand for loans which increased $4.6
billion to $48.2 billion. Deposits of individuals, partnerships and
corporations increased $2.5 billion to furnish the difference.
A significant change has taken place in the distribution of maturities in the holdings of United States obligations. In the year
1955 a decrease of $5.8 billion occurrred in U. S. Government holdings
but the percentage of short term holdings remained relatively constant at slightly over 56 percent. At the end of 1956, short maturities had increased to over 70 percent of all holdings of United
States obligations by national banks. While there has been some
addition to long term United States issues, they represent less than
8 percent of the total investment account. During 1956 no important
change took place in the distribution of maturities of municipal
and other bonds.

Capital Structure
The adequate capitalization of all national banks continues to be an
important objective of the Comptroller's office. During 1956 the
sale of additional capital stock to further strengthen capital structures was undertaken and consummated by the managements and
shareholders of 232 national banks. These 232 banks sold new shares
of common stock which yielded $192 million of additional funds to
augment their capital structures. The shareholders of 329 national
banks, with the approval of the Comptroller, approved dividends
payable in common stock having a total par value of $83 million
during the year. During the 10-year period 1947 to 1956, 1,63.9
national banks have completed new capital sale programs which
added $1,074 million to their capital funds.
At the end of 1956, the capital structures of the 4,659 national
banks amounted to $8,472 million, and their reserves for bad debts
and other loan valuation reserves to $833.5 million, or an aggregate
total of capital funds and reserves of $9.3 billion. This is the equivalent of $1 of capital protection to cover the potential risks involved
in each $5.88 ($5.80 at the close of 1955, $5.27 at the close of 1954,
$5.43 at the close of 1953) of loans, municipal and corporate bonds,
and other assets remaining after deducting from its $118.5 billion of
total assets, $63.8 billion of cash or its equivalent, United States
Government obligations, and loans or portions of loans guaranteed
or insured by Federal Government agencies.
The volume of assets in the national banking system considered by
national bank examiners to contain substantial or unwarranted elements of risk continues to be very small in relation to the protection
offered by capital structures and reserves.
Earnings and Net Additions to Reserves
Net profits of national banks after taxes but before dividends in the
year ended December 31, 1956 were $647.1 million, exclusive of $142.9
million added to bad debt and valuation reserves. Comparable fig

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER

ures for the year 1955 were $643.1 million and $88.3 million, respectively. Such net profits and additions to reserves for the year 1956
were equal to 9.32 percent of year end capital funds, up from 9.22 percent for the year 1955. Dividends of $329.9 million were paid to
shareholders, and net retained earnings and additions to reserves
amounted to $460.1 million.
Net earnings from current operations amounted to $1,497 million,
equivalent to 1.39 percent of year end deposits of $107.5 billion, as
compared with 1.28 percent for the year 1955. Adding to the net
operating earnings profits on securities sold of $11.4 million, recoveries
on assets previously charged off of $79 million, and deducting therefrom actual losses on securities sold and charge-offs against book
values of $238.9 million, actual loan losses of $78.3 million, and chargeoffs on other assets of $48.2 million, the aggregate net profits of all
national banks equaled $1,221.8 million. Deducting therefrom net
additions to bad debt reserves and valuation reserves of $142.9 million,
net profits before income taxes amounted to $1,078.9 million. Total
taxes paid were $431.7 million (29 percent of net earnings from operations and 40 percent of net profits before taxes), leaving net profits,
as above stated, of $647.1 million.

Reserve for Bad Debts

During the calendar year 1956, the upward trend continued in the
number of national banks maintaining reserves for bad debts and in
the dollar volume of such reserves. At year end, 2,721 national banks
(58.4 percent of all national banks) haying gross loans of $45.2 billion
(92.27 percent of gross loans in all national banks) were maintaining
reserves for bad debts of $792.7 million, an increase of $174 million
over 1955. At the end of 1955, 2,654 national banks maintained such
reserves. The total amount of bad debt reserves amounted to 1.75
percent of gross loans in those banks maintaining such reserves. A
large number of banks have reached or are approaching the ceiling
established for such reserves by the Internal Revenue Service.
As pointed out in the Comptroller's annual reports for 1954 and
1955, the existing formula approved by the Internal Revenue Service
for computing the allowable amounts of reserves for bad debts requires
each bank to limit its reserve for bad debts to a percentage based on
its own loan loss experience for any consecutive 20 years' period commencing January 1, 1928. This permits the largest reserves in relation to gross loans outstanding to be established by those banks which
suffered relatively the greatest loan losses in the past. This results
in undesirable inequities between banks since the banks that may
most need such reserves, based on their condition present and prospective, may be those that are permitted to establish a small percentage
of reserves in relation to outstanding loans because of their favorable
loss history. There is a need for a bad debt reserve formula, not
limited to the loss history of the individual bank or group of banks,
but based upon the premise that loan losses must be expected in the
long run which may become abnormally large under unfavorable conditions and such losses should be regarded as a banking hazard against
which a reasonable initially tax-free reserve should be established.
A soundly based formula should be adopted to permit banks to create
and maintain reserves by transfers from earnings at a reasonable rate
in relation to total loans until a suitable ceiling is reached, without
reference to or as an alternative to a ceiling based on current or past
loss experience. It is believed that this will require legislative action.
Pension Plans
During 1954 the examination report form was revised to include
pertinent information regarding the pension plans of national banks.
Recently the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency compiled data
based on thel information thus obtained.
Of 4,521 banks surveyed, 34.6 percent or 1,567 national banks,
employing 202,058 or 80.3 percent of all national bank personnel, have
pension plans. A total of 49,577 or 19.7 percent of the officers and
employees of national banks are not covered by some type of formal
retirement program.
Pension programs in the banking field have gained increased prominence within the past 10 years. Many small and medium-sized insti1

Not included are 138 banks which have plans of some type but for which information is not complete.




12

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

tutions have adopted plans during this period. Generally speaking
the larger banks of the country have had pension plans for longer
periods. Their adoption has come about largely through the desire
of banks to provide economic security for their employees and recognition that formal retirement plans covering old age and disability
have become increasingly important in the general wage structure.
Thus it has become correspondingly more difficult for banks to obtain
and retain desirable personnel if such plans are not available.
Among the considerations which have influenced banks to adopt
pension plans are the following:
(1) Increased efficiency of employees who enjoy good prospects for
future economic security.
(2) Reduction in employee turnover.
(3) Greater selectivity possible in obtaining new employees.
(4) Improved opportunity for advancement of younger workers
afforded by the systematic retirement of older employees.
(5) Promotion of employee satisfaction and good will.
An important advantage of pension plans is that these programs
assist in furnishing continuity of management, particularly in the
small and medium-sized banks. The problem of management succession in these institutions has become more difficult in the past few
years and, in many instances, has been a motivating factor in the
consolidation or merger of smaller banks with larger institutions.
Costs of the retirement programs surveyed, which are fully deductible for Federal Income Tax purposes contingent upon approval of the
plan by the Internal Revenue Service, average approximately 7 percent of net profits before taxes and dividends. The net cost would
appear to be within the earnings capacity of almost all banks and
the value received is adequate to justify the expense. The average
annual cost to the banks surveyed per employee is approximately
$280. The largest banks have a higher average annual cost per
employee, caused in part by the greater proportion of these institutions which bear the entire cost of the plans without employee contributions.
The following table reflects some of the important factors in connection with pension programs of national banks. Data is classified
according to size of bank based on total deposits.

The following table presents a geographical distribution according

In all Federal Reserve districts a majority of the larger banks have
pension plans while only 22 percent of the national banks with deposits
under $10 million have programs. Most of the smaller banks without
plans are located in agricultural areas which do not have to compete
directly with industries offering such plans. National banks with
pension plans range from a high of 58 percent in the First Federal
Reserve district to a low of 18 percent in the Tenth Federal Reserve
district.

Branch Banking
The apparent need of banks for new branches continued during
1956, as evidenced by the near-record number of applications for
de novo branches filed by national banks. The 524 applications received were acted upon as indicated below:

Pressure for new branch facilities continues in direct relation to the
growth in population of suburban areas and the increasing traffic
congestion and parking problems in downtown business sections. It
is also fostered by competitive banking factors.
On December 31, 1956, 631 national banks out of a total of 4,659
were operating 3,655 branches in 35 States, the District of Columbia,
Alaska, Hawaii and the Virgin Islands. This compares with 3,224
branches of 547 national banks at the previous year end.
The Financial Institutions Act of 1957, which was passed by the
Senate in March, and is awaiting action in the House of Representatives, in Section 39 contains two changes in the provisions dealing
with branches that are of interest. Subsections (a), (c), (d), (e) and
(g) of this section are the same as Title 12, United States Code, Section 36. Subsection (b) of this section is the same as subsection (b)
of Title 12, United States Code, Section 36, to the effect that if a
State bank is merged with a national bank, or if two or more national
banks are merged, then the merged banks may retain and operate
any of their branches in lawful operation on February 25, 1927. It
adds a new provision to the effect that as to any banks so merged or
consolidated, any branches of the continuing bank may continue to
be retained and operated if they were in lawful operation immediately
prior to the effective time of the merger or consolidation. The purpose of the existing law is to prevent a bank from acquiring branches
by taking over other banks where such branches could not legally be
established under State law. However, this purpose does not apply
to branches of the continuing bank, and no public interest is served
by requiring the continuing bank to obtain anew the approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency for continued operation of its legally
established branches already in existence.
Subsection (f) of this section continues the definition of the term
"branch," but adds a proviso that acceptance of deposits in furtherance of a school thrift or savings plan by a national bank at any
school located within its trade area and within the same State shall
not be considered to be the operation of a branch. The public interest
in encouraging school children in habits of thrift is ample justification
for this departure from the general rule that the acceptance of deposits by a national bank agent at any place other than the bank's
main office constitutes branch banking.

State and national banks by 101 national banks as compared to 126
such absorptions by 118 national banks in 1955. Twenty-six national
banks were absorbed by 25 State banks during 1956 as compared to
47 such absorptions by 46 State banks in 1955. Fifty-five State
banks were absorbed by other State banks in 1956 as compared to

The shareholders of the 69 banks consolidated or merged with and
into 65 national banks received cash and book value stock of the
continuing banks aggregating $177,339,698 or $8,186,229 in excess
of the aggregate book value of assets which those banks contributed
to the mergers or consolidations. This excess amounted, on the
average, to 0.42 percent of the aggregate deposits acquired by the
continuing banks. On an estimated or fair valuation basis, the
shareholders of the 69 absorbed banks contributed assets having an
estimated fair value, in excess of liability to creditors, of $177,307,888
and received cash and fair value stock of the continuing banks aggregating $186,309,454 or $9,001,566 in excess of the aggregate fair
value of assets which those banks contributed to the mergers or
consolidations. This difference is accounted for through an estimated
or fair value appraisal of fixed assets (bank premises—furniture and
fixtures), bond appreciation or depreciation, allowances for pension
fund adjustments, excess reserve for taxes, etc., and amounted, on
the average, to approximately 0.46 percent of the aggregate deposits
acquired by the continuing banks.
The shareholders of the 14 national and 22 State banks that were
purchased by the 36 national banks received $26,426,576 in cash, or
$5,093,707 in excess of the book value of the selling banks' aggregate

Much study has been given to the competitive position of banking
in the United States to determine whether the 1,016 absorptions
during the past 7 years have had the effect of depriving the public of
adequate banking competition. It is the conclusion of the Comptroller's Office that this has not occurred.
Banking has unique safeguards against monopoly or inadequate
competition which are not present in industry or trade. Banks may
not establish offices across State lines. Their operations within
individual States are either limited to one head office (in nonbranch
bank States, such as Illinois, Texas, Florida, etc.) or to the establishment of branch offices within the State where the bank's head office
is located as may be approved by the bank supervisory authorities
within areas defined in State statutes authorizing branch banking.
A majority of the branch bank States restrict such activities to county
limits, while some States permit it on a trade area basis, a contiguous
county basis, or on a statewide basis. Obviously, such geographical



18

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

limitations tend to limit the concentration of commercial bank resources which might otherwise accrue.
Banking has other safeguards which serve to maintain adequate
competition. It is a closely supervised and regulated industry. The
maximum legal interest rates that may be charged on loans are governed
by the 48 State statutes. The maximum rates that may be paid on
sayings or time deposits are governed by Federal statutes and regulations, as well as by State statutes in some States. The maximum
amount of a loan that may be granted to a single individual or interest
is governed by Federal and State statutes. Types of investment
securities, based on credit quality standards, and the maximum
amount that may be invested in the obligations of a single obligor,
are governed by Federal and State statutes. Seasonable credit
standards must be maintained in granting loans within the framework
of the statutes noted above. Competition among and between banks
takes place within an orbit greatly influenced by the policies of Federal
fiscal and monetary authorities which control the cost and availability
of credit. Banks, for practical purposes, have only one completely
free area in which to compete, and that rests in service to the banking
public. This is governed very largely by the ability, progressiveness,
aggressiveness, and capacity of individual bank managements. Size
is a factor to the extent that a small country bank could not provide
adequate service or credit to a large corporation, but within its own
natural field, size alone is not a factor^that,militates against the
ability of a bank to compete.
In banking, banks of varying sizes, unlike business concerns, do
not suffer such disadvantages as a lack of ability to command quantity
discounts on purchases because a bank's merchandise, in a very real
sense, consists of service and its deposits with which it makes loans and
buys investment securities. A smaller bank is able, or should be able,
to pay as large an interest rate on deposits as its larger competitors.
The smaller bank's net earnings from operations in relation to each
$100 of deposits are approximately the same as those of larger banks.
The small bank, unlike the average small business concern, has proportionately the same availability of credit from its Federal Reserve
Bank or correspondent banks as its larger competitors. It has been
our observation over many years that access to capital is relatively
as available to small banks as it is to larger banks.
The following compilation reveals the competitive position and
trend of banking as measured by the number of banks and their total
assets in the 254 cities of the country having populations of 50,000 or
more at the time of the 1950 Census. (In order to obtain representation in each of the 48 States, 7 cities with a somewhat smaller population have been included.)
The banks in the 254 cities held 73.5 percent of the commercial
banking assets of the Nation at the end of June 1946, and held 72.3
percent, or a very similar percentage at the end of June 1956. Tbe
254 cities were served by 1,593 banks on June 29, 1946, and by 1,568
banks on June 30, 1956. These financial centers of the country have
not increased their proportion of the banking assets of the country
during this 10-year period.

Fiduciary Activities of National Banks
As of December 31, 1956, there were 1,722 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 72 trust departments in
branches of national banks. One national bank has authority under
Title 12, U. S. C , section 34a, to continue administration of certain
fiduciary accounts received by consolidation with a State bank. There
were 236 national banks not acting under any of their granted powers.
The Financial Institutions Act of 1957, now pending before the Congress (S, 1451 and H. R. 7026) includes a provision transferring the
duty and responsibility for granting fiduciary powers to national
banks from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
to the Comptroller of the Currency.
During the year 1956 there were 1,437 head office trust department
examinations conducted and 71 branch examinations, making a total
of l;508 examinations of trust departments in national banks. Trust
department assets totaled $39,000,150,658 at the end of 1956, in


20

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

eluding $24,123,482,348 in agency, escrow, custodianship, and corporate accounts held in the trust department. Comparative statistical data concerning various fiduciary activities of national banks
are presented in tables in the appendix of this report.
Carrying values for trust department assets throughout the country
have not been standardized. There are no statutes or regulations
governing the method for establishing carrying values of assets under
administration in national bank trust departments. Because of the
relatively few changes in the system of establishing carrying values
within individual organizations, the figures reflected by the tables
in the appendix of this report are believed to be of value for comparative purposes from year to year, but it should be understood that
they do not represent current market values. Accurate information
as to aggregate market values cannot be obtained without requiring
special reports which would impose a substantial and unwarranted
burden upon the banks.
Of the total liabilities for accounts administered by the trust departments of national banks as of December 31, 1956, 24 percent was
in living trusts, 13 percent in court accounts, 53 percent in agency,
escrow, custodianship type accounts, and 10 percent in all other
accounts. In addition, national banks were acting as trustee for
bond and debenture issues totaling $19,200,708,415 in 8,381 accounts,
as registrar in 3,369 accounts, and as transfer agent in 3,322 accounts.
Under authority of section 17 of Kegulation F, issued by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System governing fiduciary
activities of national banks, there were 130 common trust funds in
operation in 104 national banks at the end of 1956. Regulation F
permits the establishment of common trust funds for the collective
investment of funds of bona fide fiduciary accounts where the bank
acts in the capacity of trustee, executor, administrator or guardian.
Assets in common trust funds aggregated $382,397,189 as of December 31, 1956, at ledger carrying values.
Pension, profit-sharing and other employee benefit trusts created
by banks and by other employers continue to form a substantial and
increasing part of the fiduciary business of national banks. The
form for reporting examinations of the trust departments of national
banks has been revised to reflect comprehensive information on this
class of business. The information to be obtained will substantially
parallel that currently being obtained by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System from their reports of examination of
State member banks. In the investment of funds of pension, profitsharing and other employee benefit trust accounts, the national banks
are following generally sound policies and investment procedures. In
such accounts created by a national bank for its own employees and
administered in its trust department, Regulation F prohibits the
purchase of stock of the bank unless such investment is expressly
required by the provisions of the trust instrument. This office is
opposed to placing stock of the employer national bank in a pension
trust for its employees, beyond a limited proportion of the total fund
because of the belief that the employee pensions should not be in
important degree dependent upon the continued success of the
employer.



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

21

All national banks which are exercising fiduciary powers 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 loss in national banks due to faulty administration of
fiduciary accounts continues to be almost negligible.
Liquidation of Insolvent National Banks
During the year ended December 31, 1956, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation was appointed by the Comptroller of the
Currency as receiver of one insolvent national bank, the Home
National Bank of Ellenville, New York. This receivership was
the outgrowth of a large defalcation. Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950 (Public Law 797), approved September 21,
1950, the liquidation of this bank has not been subject to the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The one insolvent national bank in process of liquidation under the
supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency as of December 31,
1955, was still in process of liquidation as of December 31, 1956.
The liquidation of this receivership has been continued because of
pending litigation but it presently appears that an early adjudication
and completion of the liquidation may be expected.
Legislation
On July 20, 1956, Senator J. W. Fulbright of Arkansas, Chairman
of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee announced that the
Committee would undertake a general revision of the Federal laws
governing financial institutions and that Senator A. Willis Robertson
of Virginia would act as chairman of the subcommittee having this
work in charge. Senator Robertson stated that the purpose of the
proposed legislation would be (1) to eliminate obsolete provisions
from the statutes in order to make the financial laws more workable
and understandable and (2) to add new authority where needed to
meet the present and future needs of our economy. The Comptroller
of the Currency and the other Federal supervisory agencies were
asked to review the respective statutes administered by them and to
recommend changes designed to accomplish the stated purposes.
In September an Advisory Committee of twenty-seven was selected
to assist the Banking and Currency Committee in its study. On
November 9 and 10, 1956, hearings were held before Senator Robertson and members of the Advisory Committee for the purpose of
receiving!an oral explanation of the agencies' recommendations.
Following these hearings the Advisory Committee made a report
and recommendations to the Senate Committee.
Early in January, 1957, Senator Robertson released the text of a
Committee Print Bill which was based upon some 175 legislative
recommendations submitted by the Federal supervisory agencies,
the views of the various trade organizations in the financial field,
the recommendations of the Advisory Committee and suggestions
offered by many other persons. Extensive hearings were held on this



22

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

proposed bill, and subsequently Senator Robertson introduced in the
Senate the Financial Institutions Act of 1957, S. 1451. This bill
was reported favorably by the Senate Committee on Banking and
Currency, with a recommendation that it be passed. On March 21,
1957, S. 1451 passed the Senate. On April 18, 1957, Congressman
Paul Brown of Georgia introduced in the House of Representatives
the Financial Institutions Act of 1957, H. R. 7026. This bill differs
from S. 1451 only in that it contains two changes relative to savings
and loan associations.
In connection with the study of the Federal banking laws administered by this office and having to do with national banks, the Comptroller of the Currency made 45 recommendations to the Senate
Subcommittee. Twenty-four of these recommendations involving
important changes in substance were approved by the Advisory
Committee and included in S. 1451 as it passed the Senate. These
recommendations were:
Recommendation No. 2.—It is recommended that the statutes be
amended to provide for fourth and fifth Deputy Comptrollers of the
Currency if, in the judgment of the Comptroller, one or both are
essential to the adequate discharge of his responsibilities.
Reasons.—The volume of work in the Comptroller's Office has
greatly increased creating a need for additional Deputy Comptrollers.
There has been a considerable increase in the number of branch
applications, proposed mergers and consolidations, capital increase
programs, and other important matters and the national banks have
a continuously growing volume of assets and liabilities which are
within the field of examination procedures. Also, the pressure of the
competition in banking today has caused banks to search for new
methods of doing business and new ways of serving their customers.
All of these matters require the careful attention of well qualified
officials, and the burden placed on the present deputies is too great
to be continued indefinitely. At the present time two additional
Deputy Comptrollers are very much needed. Since the Comptroller's
staff is paid out of assessments on national banks, additional Government appropriations or expenditures would not be necessary.
Recommendation No. 5.—It is recommended that section 5136 of
the Revised Statutes be amended by adding a proviso at the end of
the first sentence in paragraph seventh thereof which would declare
that no national bank shall be subjected to examination by, or required
to be licensed by, or to pay any license or assessment fee, or penalty
to, any State, political subdivision, or other agency or instrumentality
of a State as an incident to such bank's right to make loans or to
discount and negotiate promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange,
conditional sales contracts, and other evidences of debt or to carry
on the business of banking.
Reasons.—Various States have enacted statutes which appear to
require national banks to acquire a license from the State authorities
in order to qualify as a licensed lender. In order to acquire the
obligations arising from certain transactions national banks have in
many cases elected to be licensed under the State law. These State
laws customarily require examination of the licensed lenders by the
State authorities. In some cases where the national banks have



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

23

qualified as licensed lenders the State banking authorities have contended that such national banks should be subjected to examination
by State authorities as licensed lenders.
Any examining or other visitorial power attempted to be exercised
by State officials over national banks in this respect would be in direct
conflict with section 5240 of the Revised Statutes (12 U. S. C. 484)
and any attempt by the State to levy and collect a license tax appears
to be in conflict with section 5219 of the Revised Statutes (12 U. S. C.
548) which defines the limits within which States may tax national
banks. National banks derive their general powers from section 5136
of the Revised Statutes (12 U. S. C. 24) including all such incidental
powers as are necessary to carry on the business of banking. National
banks may legally acquire evidences of debt and no State statute can
deprive them of that power or append conditions which would require
them to obtain licenses or pay license fees. However, some State
officials have disagreed with this view and contended that the national
banks must comply fully with all the provisions of the State law
including the examining and licensing requirement. In order to eliminate controversies with State banking officials who seek to enforce
State licensing and examining requirements with respect to national
banks, section 5136 should be amended to follow the above recommendation. Amendment of this section in accordance with our recommendation will, in our opinion, merely be declaratory of existing
law.
Recommendation No. 6.—It is recommended that R. S. 5136 be
amended to permit national banks to make contributions in such sums
as the directors may deem expedient and in the interests of the
association to educational institutions not operated for profit and to
organizations established for the purpose of civic improvement or
betterment. The right of national banks to make such contributions
should be made explicit.
This statute should also be amended to eliminate any requirement
that contributions by national banks be dependent upon the provisions
of the laws relative to contributions by State banking institutions.
Reasons.—There has always been doubt whether under the existing
statute national banks could legally make contributions of the type
which it is now recommended they should be permitted to make.
Since national banks may make contributions to charitable, philan*
thro pic, or benevolent instrumentalities conducive to public welfare,
there would seem to be little doubt that they should also be permitted
to make contributions to educational institutions which are not operated for private profit. Also, national banks may reasonably be said
to have the same ethical obligations to support organizations established to benefit the community in which they do business as do other
corporations and individuals. The law should permit contributions
to such organizations. It is clear that local development corporations
which seek to attract industry to their communities will, if successful,
benefit the entire community and contributions to them would be in
the best interests of the banks.
It is not necessary that the provisions of State laws in relation to
contributions by State banks should be applicable to the making of
contributions by national banks.



24

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Recommendation No. 7.—AmencTsection 30 of title 12 of the United
States Code to eliminate the word "place" and substitute the word
"location" and provide that no change in location of the main office
within the limits of the city, town, or village in which it is located
will be permissible without the approval of the Comptroller of the
Currency.
Reason.—The Comptroller has interpreted this statute to mean
that a bank may change the location of its head office within the city
where it was chartered to do business without his approval. It is
believed that all changes of location should be subject to his approval.
Recommendation No. 8.—It is recommended that the consolidation
and merger statutes be amended to provide
uniformity in the provisions for giving notice of shareholders7 meetings, waiver of notice,
dissenters' rights including appraisal of the value of the stock of
dissenters and payment of the expenses of appraisal or reappraisal
by the Comptroller of the Currency, and manner of disposing of stock
not taken by dissenters but that no change be made in the merger
provisions7 of title 12, United States Code, section 34b (b) confining
dissenters rights to the stockholders of the bank merged into the
"receiving association." It is also recommended that the statutes be
amended to contain uniform provisions for the transfer of fiduciary
functions and the administration of estates to the resulting combined
bank automatically and by operation of law, without any order or
other action on the part of any court or otherwise, and similar uniformity regarding the fiduciary bank's being subject to removal by a
court of competent jurisdiction in the same manner and to the same
extent as was the consolidating or merging bank prior to the consolidation or merger.
Reasons.—There would appear to be no justification for requiring
publication in the local newspaper for the publication of legal notices
or advertisements in addition to publication in a newspaper of general
circulation in one form of combination of banks and not in the others.
It would appear that publication in a newspaper of general circulation
published in the place where the association or bank is situated, or,
if there is no such newspaper, then in a paper of general circulation
published nearest thereto, is adequate. The phrase "or, if there is no
such newspaper, then in a paper of general circulation, published
nearest thereto" should be added to the merger statute, title 12,
United States Code, section 34b. There would likewise seem to be no
justification for a variation in the provisions for giving notice of
shareholders' meetings or the waiver of such notice and in dissenters'
rights as to the procedure to be followed, the date on which the value
of the dissenters' stock is to be determined, the applicability of that
determined value to one or all dissenting stockholders, and the vote
of dissenters required to choose a representative to participate in the
appraisal of the value of such stock, and the payment for the expense
of appraisal or reappraisal made by the Comptroller of the Currency.
The three statutory provisions should specify that the value of the
dissenters' stock should be determined as of the effective date of the
consolidation or merger. The three statutory provisions should alike
require that the stock of the constituent bank which a dissenter
owns must be turned in for cancellation as a condition to the payment



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

25

to him of its value, and that the stock of the resulting bank which
would have been delivered to him is the stock which will be sold at
auction. Nor is there justification for requiring that stock rejected
by dissenters be sold at auction in one case, with any excess in the sale
price above the appraised value going to the dissenting stockholder
in two types of combinations but not in the third. The justification
for confining dissenters' rights to stockholders of the bank which
merges into a receiving association under the provisions of title 12,
United States Code, section 34b is that such statute is intended to be
used mainly in cases of large banks taking over much smaller banks
where the value of the stock of the larger bank will be affected only
slightly, if at all, by the merger.
The merger statute, title 12, United States Code, section 34b,
contains a provision that the value of shares of the dissenters shall be
ascertained as of the date of the meeting of shareholders of the association or state bank approving the merger by an appraisal made by a
committee of three persons composed of "one selected by the vote of
the holders of a majority of the stock, the owners of which are entitled
to payment in cash; * * *", but title 12, United States Code, section
33 and title 12, United States Code, section 34a would appear to
give each dissenting shareholder the separate right of appraisal. Also,
the merger statute provides that the valuation agreed upon by any
two of the three appraisers shall govern, whereas no such provision
is contained in title 12, United States Code, section 33 or title 12,
United States Code, section 34a. Furthermore, the merger statute
provides that the value of the shares of dissenters shall be ascertained
as of the date of the meeting of the shareholders of the association
or State bank approving the merger, whereas the other two statutes
prescribe that such value should be ascertained as of the date of the
Comptroller's approval of the consolidation. Again, the merger
statute prescribes that if, within 90 days from the date of consummation of the merger, one or more of the appraisers have not been selected
or the appraisers have failed to determine the value of the shares, the
Comptroller, upon written request of any interested party, shall cause
an appraisal to be made which shall be binding on all parties. That
provision is not contained in the other two statutes. Also title 12,
United States Code, section 33 provides, with respect to reappraisals
of stock of dissenters by the Comptroller of the Currency, that if the
reappraisal shall exceed the value fixed by the appraisal committee,
the bank shall pay the expenses; otherwise the appellant shall pay
said expenses. Title 12, United States Code, section 342 provides
that the consolidated association shall pay the expenses of reappraisal,
and title 12, United States Code, section 34b prescribes that in such
case the receiving association shall pay the expenses of reappraisal.
It would appear that with respect to the matters referred to in this
paragraph there should be uniformity in the three statutory provisions.
With respect to the transfer of fiduciary functions and the administration of estates, it is essential that these be transferred automatically
to the resulting bank. Otherwise the fiduciary estates of various
kinds would be deprived of anyone authorized to perform the duties
of fiduciary with respect to such estates until they were transferred



26

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

singly by appropriate court orders or by consents of the interested
parties, including the beneficiaries in the case of private trusts. Such
individual transfers would be costly and time-consuming and might
defeat a contemplated combination of two banks otherwise desirable
and in the public interest.
Recommendation No. 9.—It is recommended that R. S. 5155 be
amended to provide that upon the consolidation or merger of two or
more national banking associations or of a State bank with a national
banking association the continuing bank may retain and operate all
of the branches which it had in lawful operation at the time of the
merger or consolidation.
Reasons.—A bank which takes over another bank by merger or
consolidation should not for that reason have to give up the branches
which it has in operation at the time of the consolidation or merger.
The purpose of the existing law is to prevent a bank from acquiring
branches where they could not legally be established under State
law, by taking over other banks. This purpose does not exist in the
case of branches of the continuing bank and it should be permitted
to continue the legally established branches which it already has in
existence without reestablishment and without securing anew the
approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Recommendation No. 11.—It is recommended that R. S. 5155 (f)
be amended by adding at the end thereof a proviso to the effect that
the acceptance of deposits in furtherance of a school thrift or savings
plan by an officer, employee, or agent of a national bank at any school
located in the trade area of the bank shall not be construed to be the
operation of a branch.
Reasons.—It is the general position of this office that the acceptance
of deposits by an agent of a national bank at a place other than the
bank's offices constitutes branch banking under the definition contained in this section. Notwithstanding this general rule we believe
that the desirability of school savings programs is such that an amendment of the statute is warranted to remove any doubt that a national
bank may participate in this activity.
Recommendation No. 12.—It is recommended that the requirements
in sections 5140 and 5168 of the Revised Statutes that 50 percent of
capital stock be paid in be amended so as to require that 100 percent
of capital stock be paid in cash before a national bank shall be authorized to commence business. The provisions relating to instalment
payments in sections 5140 and 5141 should be eliminated from the
statute.
Reasons.—Itris no longer considered necessary that the statutes permit a national bank to open for business when only 50 percent of the
capital stock has been paid in and over a long period there have been
no cases where this method was used. It has been the practice of the
Comptroller of the Currency at least since 1935 to require that 100
percent of the capital stock of a newly organized national bank must be
paid in cash before it shall be authorized to commence business.
Recommendation No. 15.—Amend R. S. 5144 in order to eliminate
mandatory cumulative voting in the election of directors of national
banks but permit such association to have cumulative voting if desired
by so providing in their articles of association.



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

27

Reasons.—A national bank can best be operated where there is a
high degree of unity in the directorate and in the official staff. The
successful operation of any bank depends upon confidence of stockholders in the management, confidence of different members of the
management body in each other, and confidence of the depositors and
the community in the bank as an organization. Confidence is not engendered by having a minority group force itself on the directorate of
a bank by the use of the cumulative voting provision, and in cases
where such an end has been accomplished it has been the usual experience that the party or parties thus added to the boards have not been
helpful to the institutions and have caused a lessening of the mutual
confidence of the directorate, the confidence of the staff in the directorate, and in some cases, the confidence of the community in the bank.
Recommendation No. 16.—It is recommended that R. S. 5144 be
amended to provide that where a holding company affiliate of a member bank is owned by another corporation which by virtue of such
ownership becomes a holding company affiliate, and which in turn is
owned by another corporation which is also, therefore, a holding company affiliate, only one holding company affiliate should be required
to maintain the requisite reserves. It should be designated by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Reasons.—This statute requires that a holding company affiliate
of a member bank must establish and maintain out of net earnings
over and above 6 percent per annum on the book value of its own
shares outstanding a reserve of readily marketable assets in an amount
of not less than 12 percent of the aggregate par value of bank stocks
controlled by it. The purpose of this requirement is to insure that
a holding compan}^ affiliate owning stock of two or more banks will
be in a position to aid the banks by replacement of capital in the event
that losses make such replacement necessary. When such a reserve
had been established and is maintained by a holding company affiliate
directly owning bank stocks, it would seem that parent or upstream
companies of the holding company affiliate should not also be required
to maintain such reserves. In a recent case a group of banks had
four holding company affiliates in vertical alignment. Under the
interpretation given this statute by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, each of these parent companies would be
required to maintain the specified reserves so that in effect reserves
of 48 percent rather than 12 percent would be required. This requirement has been a major deterrent to nonmember State banks owned
by the holding company affiliate giving consideration to becoming
members of the Federal Reserve System or directly by conversion
into national banks. Such a requirement is not justified and the
statute should be rewritten to bring it into conformity with the intent
of Congress to require a suitable reserve.
Recommendation No. 20.—It is recommended that R. S. 5149 be
amended to provide that if an election of directors is not held at the
meeting of shareholders called for that purpose because the date set
in the articles of association falls on a legal holiday, the meeting shall
be held on the next following business day.
Reasons.—In some cases the day specified in the articles of association for annual shareholders' meeting at which directors will be elected



28

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

will fall on a legal holiday in the State in which the bank is located.
In such cases the practice has been for a brief shareholders' meeting
to be held at which no business is transacted but the meeting adjourned
until some subsequent date decided upon and the directors are elected
at that adjournment of the annual meeting. It is believed that it
would be preferable to provide by legislation that in thisjevent the
meeting shall be held and the directors elected on the next following
business day.
Recommendation No. 24-—It is recommended that exception 7 to
section 5200 of the Revised Statutes be amended by adding a new
sentence which would permit national banks to acquire obligations of
dealers in dairy cattle arising out of the sale of dairy cattle, which
bear a full recourse endorsement or unconditional guaranty of the seller
to a limitation of 15 percent of capital and surplus, in addition to
such 10 percent of capital and surplus.
Reasons.—Exception 7 to the basic 10 percent limitation of capital
and surplus covers obligations which are secured by liens on range
animals (cattle, sheep, goats, horses, mules) or on cattle, sheep, or
hogs being fattened for or shipped to market. It does not cover
dairy cattle. It is believed advisable that the statute be amended
to permit national banks to acquire obligations of dealers arising
out of the sale of dairy cattle subject to a limitation of 15 percent of
a national bank's capital and surplus in addition to the present
limitation of 10 percent of capital and surplus. Frequently such
obligations are not in the form to qualify under either exception 2 or
4 of Revised Statutes 5200 because they are not negotiable and thus
may not qualify under exception 2, or because they have a maturity
of more than 6 months and therefore will not qualify under exception
4. Where they arise out of the sale of dairy cattle they do not qualify
under exception 7 in its present form.
Recommendation No. 25.—It is recommended that exception 8 of
section 5200 of the Revised Statutes be amended so as to eliminate
the words "in the form of notes."
Reasons.—Frequently the obligations referred to in exception 8 are
not in the form of promissory notes but are repurchase agreements, or
some other form of binding obligations. These agreements are considered to be of equal stature with promissory notes and therefore
should be treated as obligations as defined in the first paragraph of
section 84.
It is believed that the requirement that the obligation in the case
of such loans must be "in the form of a note" is needlessly restrictive.
Recommendation No. 27.—Section 144 of title 12 of the United States
Code should be amended to eliminate the requirement that the
Comptroller of the Currency must approve the national banking
associations at which the requisite reserves may be kept.
Reasons.—It is believed that the power given to the Comptroller to
approve the national banks in which reserves of national banks located
outside the continental United States may be placed is ineffective in
that it would be difficult and discriminatory for the Comptroller to
refuse to approve a particular national bank, or to withdraw his
approval once it had been given. The withdrawal of such approval
or the refusal to give such approval would probably cause rumors and



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

29

might create doubts as to the solvency of the bank not approved.
Furthermore, should the Comptroller withdraw his approval and
require such reserve deposits to be withdrawn from a particular bank
and that bank shortly thereafter became insolvent, there might be a
pertinent question as to whether the Comptroller was causing the
preferring of one creditor of the insolvent bank over others.
It is believed that banks located outside the continental United
States should select the member banks with which to keep their
reserve deposits on the same basis on which other banks normally
select the banks with which to carry correspondent balances. Substantially all banks carry correspondent balances with other banks
and these correspondent banks are selected on the basis of management and capitalization. The banks outside the continental United
States should be permitted to select the member banks with which to
carry their reserve balances on the same basis and the Comptroller of
the Currency should not be required to approve the selections made.
Recommendation No. 28.—R. S. 5211 should be amended to change
from 5 to 10 days the time within which national banks must transmit
call reports to the Comptroller of the Currency.
Reasons.—It is difficult for some banks to compile the necessary
information and furnish it to the Comptroller within the 5 days
allowed, and it is believed that a 10-day period would be more realistic.
Recommendation No. 29.—R. S. 5212 requiring a report to the
Comptroller of the Currency of a declaration of dividends should be
repealed.
Reasons.—The Comptroller of the Currency requires and receives
semiannually a report of the earnings and dividends of each national
banking association. In addition, he has access to this information
through the examinations performed by his examiners. The requiring
of the reports of declaration of dividends does not serve a useful
purpose.
Recommendation No. 30.—It is recommended that section 5220 of
the Revised Statutes be amended to require approval by shareholders
owning two-thirds of the stock of any national bank before the assets
of said bank may be sold to another banking institution in carrying
out the liquidation of the selling bank.
Reasons.—Section 5220 now requires shareholder approval of any
vote to place a national bank in voluntary liquidation but does not
require shareholder approval of any agreement entered into by the
directors relating to a bulk sale of the bank's assets to another banking
institution as a preliminary step to voting the bank into voluntary
liquidation. In order to permit shareholders to have a vote on the
vital question of selling the bank's assets it is believed the statute
should be amended so as to require preliminary approval of the sale by
shareholders owning two-thirds of the stock of the national bank
unless an emergency exists and the Comptroller of the Currency
specifically waives such requirement for shareholder approval.
Recommendation No. 32.—Section 197 of title 12 of the United
States Code should be amended so as to substitute the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation in the place of the Comptroller of the
Currency with respect to insured national banks placed in receiver432389—57

3




30

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

ship where the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is appointed
receiver pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950,
as amended.
Reasons.—The Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950, as amended
(12 U. S. C. 1821) requires the Comptroller of the Currency to appoint
the FDIC as receiver of any insured national bank which is placed in
receivership and provides that such receiver shall not be subject to the
direction or supervision of the Secretary of the Treasury or the
Comptroller of the Currency. Since the Comptroller does not
supervise or direct the actions of the FDIC as receiver of an insured
national bank, the statutory provision referred to should be amended
so as to substitute the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for
the Comptroller of the Currency where the national bank involved is
an insured national bank, thus permitting the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation to call the meeting of the shareholders of
such insured national bank and require that the bond of any shareholders' agent elected at such meeting run to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.
Recommendation No. 33.—It is recommended that the Bank Conservation statutes be revised to authorize the Comptroller of the
Currency to appoint a conservator for any bank under his jurisdiction
whenever there have been defalcations the amount of which is uncertain and cannot be ascertained without an examination of the
bank, giving rise to a doubt as to the solvency of the bank. It
should be provided that the conservator under the direction of
the Comptroller shall take possession of the books and records and
assets of every description of such bank, and take such action as may
be necessary to conserve the assets of such bank pending further
disposition of its business, as provided by law. Such conservator
should have all the rights, powers, and privileges now possessed by
or hereafter given, receivers of insolvent national banks, and should
be subject to the obligations and penalties to which receivers are now
or may hereafter become subject. As soon as possible after any
insured bank is placed in the hands of a conservator the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation should be required to pay the insured
deposits as provided in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. If the
bank is insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and it is
determined that the bank is insolvent the Comptroller of the Currency
should be required to appoint the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation receiver, which should have all the rights, duties, and powers
prescribed by law, and, in the event that there have been withdrawals
by depositors as above provided for, the amount of such withdrawal
by each depositor should be deducted from the amount payable by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to such depositor under
the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. All expenses
of any such conservatorship should be paid out of the assets of such
bank and should be a lien thereon which shall be prior to any other
lien.
Reasons.—From time to time a situation arises in a national bank
where a large defalcation is discovered that appears to equal or exceed
the capital structure, but of which the full extent cannot be determined without further investigation and audit. Under existing



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

31

statutes, immediate action is necessary in such a case to (1) place the
bank in receivership and name the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as receiver, or (2) arrange by means of a loan from the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for the acquisition of the
sound assets and assumption of the deposit liabilities of the insolvent
bank by another bank. It is usually difficult or impossible to determine which of the two courses is in the best interests of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation pending an accurate determination
of the size of the defalcation and the extent of the insolvency. If the
bank is insolvent by a small amount, it is usually advantageous to
the Corporation and in the public interest for the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation to grant a loan against the unacceptable
assets and permit the insolvent bank to be taken over by another
bank as this eliminates all receivership expenses. If the extent
of the insolvency is large, it is usually in the best interests of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for the bank to be placed
in receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
named as receiver and the depositors of the bank protected up to
$10,000 per depositor.
The suggestion made herein would allow the time necessary to
determine the full amount of the defalcation and the extent of insolvency without injury to the ultimate position of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation when the final determination is made as to the
disposition of the bank.
Recommendation No. 34-—It is recommended that section 11 (k) of
the Federal Reserve Act be amended to transfer from the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System to the Comptroller of the
Currency the power to grant to national banks the right to act in
fiduciary capacities and to transfer from the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System to the Comptroller of the Currency the
power to promulgate regulations in connection therewith.
Reasons.—At the time national banks were first permitted to engage
in trust activities, the power to grant to them permission to do so
was given to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
rather than to the Comptroller of the Currency. This statute applies
only to national banks and not to State member banks. Since
national banks, including their trust departments, are supervised,
examined, and regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency, the
power to grant to national banks authority to act in fiduciary capacities and to regulate their activities in those capacities should be
vested in the Comptroller of the Currency rather than the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Comptroller of the
Currency is in a position to know whether a particular national bank
should be permitted to exercise trust powers, and also what problems
arise that need to be dealt with by regulation.
Recommendation No. 36.—Section 378 of title 12 of the United
States Code should be amended to prohibit the receipt of deposits by
any person, corporation, etc., even though incorporated under, and
authorized to engage in the business of receiving deposits by, the
laws of any State, Territory, or district, unless made subject to
examination and regulation by the laws of the State, Territory, or
district.



32

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Reasons.—Recently a corporation incorporated under the laws of
Texas engaged in receiving deposits and offered to pay 5 percent
interest on such deposits. Upon investigation the Comptroller
found that while this corporation was duly incorporated under the
laws of the State of Texas its deposit activities were not supervised
or regulated. The Bank Commissioner of Texas disclaimed jurisdiction on grounds that the company was incorporated under the
insurance laws. The insurance commissioner stated that his jurisdiction was limited to regulating the insurance activities of this company and did not extend to regulation of its deposit activities. The
Comptroller submitted the matter to the Department of Justice for a
determination of whether the Federal Statute was being violated, and
was advised that there was no violation. Subsequently, the company
became bankrupt with loss to its depositors. Amendment of this
statute in the manner suggested would be helpful in preventing other
similar situations.
Recommendation No. 42.—It is recommended that section 18 (c)
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act be amended to provide that no
insured bank shall merge or consolidate with any other insured bank
or acquire the assets of, or assume liability to pay any deposits made
in, any other insured bank without the prior written consent of the
appropriate Federal authority. It should also provide that in granting or withholding its consent the approving authority must consider
the factors enumerated in section 6 of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act and also must take into consideration whether the effect of the
transaction may be to lessen competition unduly or tend unduly to
create a monopoly. In the interests of uniform standards, the approving authority should be required to first seek the views of each
of the other two banking agencies, and should also be authorized to
request the opinion of the Attorney General of the United States.
Reasons.—A variety of causes have resulted in a considerable
number of bank consolidations or mergers since the end of World
War II, and during the last five years. This has given rise to the
question of whether desirable levels of competition in banking will
be maintained unless legislation is enacted requiring that full consideration be given to the competitive aspects of such transactions prior
to being approved by the Government official having jurisdiction.
The Federal bank supervisory agencies are not now required by
statute to consider the competitive or monopolistic aspects of merger
transactions requiring their approval and bank asset acquisitions are
not now subject to section 7 of the Clayton Act. It is believed that
in exercising their authority over bank mergers and consolidations,
the Federal banking authorities should be required to consider in
addition to banking factors whether the result thereof might be to
lessen competition unduly or to tend unduly to create a monopoly.
This authority should be vested in the bank supervisory agencies as
banking is a supervised and regulated industry, and important banking factors must be weighed in conjunction with purely competitive
factors in arriving at sound decisions.
Since there will be three banking agencies making decisions in
respect to this matter, the legislation should require that, in the
interests of achieving uniform standards, the Federal bank supervisory



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

33

agency having jurisdiction in a particular case shall seek the views
of each of the other two supervisory agencies on the competitive and
monopolistic aspects of such asset acquisitions. The approving
authority should be authorized to request the opinion of the Attorney
General of the United States in order that the knowledge of the
Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice would be available
to it. Final authority should, however, be placed in the hands of the
Federal banking supervisory agencies whose officials are intimately
familiar with banking in all its phases throughout the United States.
The views of this Department with respect to this matter were
presented to the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency in
great detail during the 2d session of the 84th Congress with respect
to S. 3911. This recommendation was incorporated in S. 3911, which
was passed by the Senate but not by the House of Representatives
during the 84th Congress.
Recommendation No. 1$.—It is recommended that section 709 of
title 18 of the United States Code be amended to expressly permit
the use of the word "national" in the title of all national banks. It
is also recommended that the use of the letters "U. S." as part of the
business or firm name of persons, corporations, etc. engaged in the
banking, loan, building and loan, brokerage, factorage, savings or
trust business be prohibited. It is also recommended that no corporation other than a national bank should be permitted to use the words
"national bank" in its corporate title.
Reasons.—At the time of the codification of the criminal statutes
in 1948 the statute was eliminated which expressly permitted national
banks to use the word "national" in their corporate titles. There is
now no statute of the United States which expressly permits national
banks to thus use the word "national" but the Comptroller of the
Currency has continued to require all national banks to do so. Their
rights and duties in this respect should be made statutory.
The use of the letters "U. S." should be prohibited to corporations
engaged in the types of business specified in order that the public will
not be misled into believing that the corporation using these letters
is a Government agency or is connected with a Government agency
or that its business or that the deposit liabilities, obligations, certificates, or shares thereof, are insured or guaranteed by the United States
or any instrumentality thereof. Legislation which would accomplish
this purpose was passed by the Senate but not by the House of
Representatives during the 84th Congress (S. 2891 of the 84th Congress.) Need for this legislation was highlighted by the bankruptcy
of the U. S. Trust & Guaranty Co. of Waco, Texas, a corporation
accepting deposits which was not regulated or examined by any
supervisory authority.
There is now in existence a corporation which has recently adopted
a corporate title including the words "national bank." This corporation is not a bank but is a corporation engaged in holding the stock
of national banks. We do not believe that any corporation other
than a national bank should be able to combine the words "national
bank" in its corporate title thus implying to the public that it is a
national bank supervised and regulated by the Comptroller of the
Currency. Legislation which would prohibit this should apply to



34

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

corporations in existence at the time the legislation is enacted as well
as those incorporated later.
Recommendation No. 44-—It is recommended that there be enacted
a statute which would provide that reports of examinations of national
banks made by national bank examiners and related correspondence
and papers should be deemed to be confidential documents privileged
against disclosure to unauthorized persons except with the consent of
the Comptroller of the Currency.
Reasons.—From time to time outside persons, usually persons
engaged in litigation with or in some way involving national banks,
attempt to subpoena from the Comptroller of the Currency or from
the national bank involved copies of reports of examination and
related correspondence and papers. In these cases it is the practice
of the Treasury Department to resist the subpoena by claiming that
such documents are confidential documents of the Treasury Department privileged against disclosure under well-known doctrines of
governmental privilege.
Reports of examination of financial institutions under the jurisdiction of the Comptroller and other information obtained by him in
the exercise of his yisitorial powers over such institutions are
classified as confidential because such information is obtained by or
submitted to him in confidence. Its revelation might adversely affect
such institutions, the affairs of their customers, or others dealing with
them or with the Comptroller of the Currency, and would be inimical
to the public interest. The courts have generally recognized that the
National Bank Act contemplates exclusive supervision of banks by
the Comptroller of the Currency and the confidential treatment by
him of the information developed as to their internal affairs. Consequently, claims of privilege are ordinarily upheld. Recently, however,
a United States district court refused to uphold such a claim of
privilege by the Secretary of the Treasury and ordered the production
in evidence of reports of examination of a national bank. This
decision was reversed by the court of appeals which held that the
subpoena was too broadly drawn.
It is believed that this is a matter of such importance that the
confidential and privileged nature of reports of examination and related documents should be made statutory. In practically all cases
in which litigants seek to subpoena reports of examination any information which they need and to which they are entitled is available
from the books of the bank, which are the best evidence of the transactions involved, and which are subject to subpoena.

Two of the Comptroller's recommendations were approved in part
by the Advisory Committee but contained recommendations of that
Committee for changes in the Comptroller's original recommendations.
These recommended changes were acceptable to the Comptroller of
the Currency and, as changed, these recommendations were included
in S. 1451 as it passed the Senate. They were:
Recommendation No. 23.—This recommendation as originally made
was as follows:




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

35

(1) It is recommended that exception 6 to section 5200 of the
Revised Statutes be amended by adding a new sentence which will
permit national banks to acquire obligations of any person, copartnership, association or corporation in the form of notes or drafts
secured by shipping documents, warehouse receipts or other such
documents transferring or securing title covering readily marketable
staples, when such property is fully covered by insurance, to a limitation of 15 percent of the bank's capital and surplus, in addition to the
statutory limitation of 10 percent of capital and surplus, when the
market value of such staples securing such obligation is not at any
time less than 115 percent of the face amount of such obligation, but
this exception shall not apply to obligations of any one person,
copartnership, association, or corporation arising from the same
transaction and/or secured by the identical staples for more than 6
months. The present first sentence in exception 6 should be amended
by changing the word "upon" to "by" in the last full line as quoted
above.
(2) It is recommended that section 5200 of the Revised Statutes
be amended to add a new exception which will permit a national
bank to acquire from any one seller or dealer obligations arising out
of the discount of instalment consumer paper whether negotiable or
nonnegotiable, which paper carries a full recourse endorsement or
unconditional guaranty of the seller or dealer, to a limitation of 15
percent of the bank's capital and surplus in addition to such 10
percent of capital and surplus.
Reasons.—(1) Exception 6 to Revised Statutes 5200 provides that
readily marketable staples in order to qualify as security for loans
under this exception must be nonperishable. Exception 6 has not
been amended since 1927. In recent years frozen food processors
have developed greatly improved methods in processing, freezing,
and storing foods which must be kept under refrigeration before sale
to consumers. Frozen packaged fruits, citrus juices, vegetables,
meats and seafood represent a substantial proportion of foods sold in
retail stores. Where insurance can be obtained, it is believed that
national banks should be permitted to lend to one obligor not more
than 25 percent of capital and surplus when the security consists of
readily marketable staples which are kept under refrigeration during
the period of a loan not exceeding 6 months.
(2) Commercial and business paper arises out of the process of
production, manufacture, or distribution of goods. It is so related
to a commercial or business transaction that it is virtually selfliquidating. It is characteristically short-term paper. It is almost
invariably negotiable in form. To promote the currency of this type
of paper the law merchant adopted its most important principle,
i. e., that if this paper is in negotiable form, an innocent purchaser
for value will take it free of defenses which might exist between prior
parties. Commercial and business paper that is negotiable in form
is acceptable for discount at Federal Reserve banks under section 13
of the Federal Reserve Act and regulation A. Title 12, United States
Code, section 84 (1), (2), and (3), permits national banks to loan on
or purchase such paper without any limitations based on capital or
surplus.



36

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Instalment consumer paper, however, is quite different from commercial and business paper. It is almost invariably longer term
paper; it is not discountable at Federal Reserve banks under section
13 of the Federal Reserve Act and regulation A; and it is not intended
for ready negotiability in the same sense or degree as commercial or
business paper. In consumer financing the commodity, the purchase
of which is being financed, is likely to be the real and ultimate security
for the lender. Consequently, it is not as traditional or important
that consumer paper should be in negotiable form as that commercial
or business paper should be. The Comptroller's office has consistently
ruled that instalment consumer paper purchased by national banks
with the full recourse endorsement of the seller or dealer and which
was negotiable could enjoy the provisions of title 12, United States
Code, section 84 (2) and be acquired without any limitations based
on capital or surplus. If the paper is not negotiable, the 1.0 percent
limitation applies. This discrimination against consumer instalment
paper not in negotiable form is unnecessarily severe. This provision
of the statute was not originally intended to deal with this type of
paper. It is now believed that all purchased or discounted instalment
consumer paper acquired from one dealer or seller which bears the full
recourse endorsement or unconditional guaranty of such dealer or
seller, whether negotiable or nonnegotiable, should be limited as to
any one obligor to 25 percent of a bank's capital and surplus.
Whenever a question of the office requirement of negotiability has
come up, our files show that it has been with reference to consumer
paper which is usually in the form of conditional sales contracts. It
is this type of paper that contains the provisions that are needed to
protect the lender's security while it is being used and paid for by
the borrower, for example, provisions that the borrower will keep the
property in repair, keep it insured, pay taxes, etc. When such provisions are included in consumer paper, they definitely make the paper
nonnegotiable under the uniform negotiable instruments law and the
decisions of the courts. The lender cannot include such provisions
in consumer paper and still have the paper considered to be negotiable
in form and we cannot permit such provisions to be included in consumer paper and still require that the paper be negotiable in form.
It will be noted that it is not the negotiable form of the paper
which makes it safer but rather the circumstances under which it is
acquired, i. e., by a party who not only pays value for it but also has
no knowledge of facts which might give a prior party a defense against
the paper. If a bank is in fact an innocent purchaser for value, it is
better off holding paper that is negotiable in form rather than paper
that is not.
The banks and automobile dealers and other vendors have also
worked out dealers' guaranty or repurchase agreements and reserve
accounts for the holding of defaulted consumer paper. These arrangements reduce the need of the banks for the protection afforded by the
innocent purchaser rule. It is believed that in actual practice the
banks rely very much more heavily on these agreements than on the
innocent purchaser rule for their protection.
Thus, it will be observed that, although banks may be better
protected through the operation of the innocent purchaser rule if



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

37

they hold negotiable consumer paper rather than nonnegotiable paper,
it is open to question whether as a practical matter the actual amount
of protection is any greater in the one case than in the other.
Therefore, it is deemed advisable that a new exception be added to
section 84 dealing exclusively with instalment consumer paper.
Changes Recommended by Advisory Committee.—In lieu of the Comptroller's recommendation (2) the committee recommends a change
which consists of that which the Comptroller suggests, supplemented
by a proviso to the effect that the 10 percent limitation as regards the
maker of each note shall apply rather than the 25 percent limitation
upon the aggregate acquired from the endorser where, after evaluation
of the responsibility of each maker has been made, an officer of the
bank, designated for such purpose by its board of directors, certifies
that in acquiring such paper from the particular seller the acquiring
bank is relying primarily upon the obligations of the makers for payment of the paper.
Under present law nonnegotiable recourse instalment consumer
paper is subject to the 10 percent limitation, whereas such negotiable
paper is subject to no limitation. Thus the Comptroller's recommendation 23 (2) is restrictive as to negotiable paper and is somewhat
liberalizing as to such non-negotiable paper.
The committee has stated its views on this problem as follows:
"(A) There is no reason here to view such non-negotiable paper
in any different light than negotiable paper, or vice versa.
"(B) There is no reason to differ with the Comptroller's recommendation in cases where the acquiring bank does not evaluate the
responsibility of the individual maker but rather relies primarily
upon the responsibility of the endorser (or guarantor).
"(C) But where the acquiring bank does evaluate the maker's
responsibility, there should be a different rule. In other words,
if the acquiring bank is looking to the maker after investigation,
why should not the transaction for loan limit purposes be deemed
to be a loan to the maker rather than to the endorser?"
It is on this analysis that the committee disagrees with the Comptroller and makes the recommendation which it does.
Recommendation No. 35.—(1) Amend section 24 of the Federal
Reserve Act to enable national banks to make loans to finance the
construction of industrial or commercial buildings for terms of not
more than 18 months where there is a valid and binding agreement
entered into by a financially responsible lender to advance the full
amount of the bank's loan upon completion of the buildings, without
such loans being regarded as real estate loans, and to increase the
aggregate limit on construction loans from 50 percent of capital to
50 percent of capital and surplus.
(2) Amend the statute to permit national banks to make loans on
leaseholds which have at least 10 years to run beyond the maturity
date of the loan.
(3) Amend the statute to permit national banks to make loans to
finance the construction of buildings upon the security of purchase
contracts entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Public
Buildings Purchase Act of 1954 or the Post Office Department Property Act of 1954, without regard to the provisions of the section
concerning loans on real estate.



38

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

(4) Amend the statute to permit national banks to make working
capital loans to manufacturing or industrial enterprises secured by
liens on the physical properties of the enterprise, including plant
real estate, without such loans being regarded as real estate loans.
Loans for the purpose of financing the construction of such plants,
or to refinance existing mortgage indebtedness on such plants, must
be regarded as subject to all pertinent provisions of this section.
Reasons.—(1) Loans to finance the construction of industrial or
commercial facilities having maturities of not more than 18 months
where there is a valid and binding agreement entered into by a
financially responsible lender to advance the full amount of the
bank's loan upon the completion of the buildings are safe and desirable
loans which national banks are now unable to make. Permitting
them to make such loans would enable them to better compete with
State banks in the financing of the construction of industrial and
commercial facilities. If this legislation is enacted it will be desirable
and necessary to raise the aggregate limits on construction loans.
(2) Present restrictions on leasehold loans are unrealistic and the
present provision of law has been of little benefit either to national
banks or to prospective borrowers. It is believed the restrictions can
be liberalized without danger to the banks.
(3) Enactment of this legislation is necessary to aid the General
Services Administration and the Post Office Department in securing
financing for the construction of public buildings.
(4) Manufacturing and industrial companies or firms regularly
borrow money for working capital purposes from national banks.
In some cases, because of moderate credit weaknesses which must be
assessed with great care because of the size of the loan and its repayment terms, and which could become more acute under adverse conditions or circumstances, it is considered prudent judgment on the
part of bankers to require a collateral mortgage on the actual plant
of the borrower. The loan is based on the premise that it will be used
for normal working capital purposes and will be repaid from profitable
operations, the liquidation of inventory or receivables, etc. The
plant has, in most instances, salvage value only if it cannot be operated on a profitable basis. Such loans are in reality commercial
loans and represent ordinary business financing. Such loans should
not be treated as real-estate loans subject to the provisions of section
24 of the Federal Keserve Act (12 U. S. C. 371). The reasons behind
that statute and the purpose for which the statute was deemed
desirable do not apply in the case of this type of loan which will be
liquidated in a normal business way, barring unforeseen reverses.
Changes Recommended by Advisory Committee.—With respect to the
Comptroller's recommendation (1) the committee believes that a
combined aggregate limitation of 100 per cent of capital and surplus
on loans for residential, farm, industrial, and commercial construction
would be a more reasonable and realistic figure and accordingly urges
that the Comptroller's recommendation be amended to this effect.
With respect to the Comptroller's recommendation (4) the committee considers that an amendment to the real-estate loan section
applicable to national banks, being section 24 of the Federal Reserve
Act, to meet the problem discussed in the Comptroller's recommenda


REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

39

tion 35 (4) is highly desirable but it is concerned with some of the
limitations contained in the Comptroller's recommendation.
Manufacturing and industrial companies regularly borrow money
from banks, both for working capital and to enlarge their facilities.
These loans are expected to be repaid through the liquidation of
inventory or receivables or through the operations and earnings expected to be derived from the facilities. In some cases, as protection
against other creditors, existing or potential, or to prevent the bank
from being in a less favorable lending position than other lenders,
it is considered prudent judgment on the part of the bank to take a
collateral mortgage on the facility of the borrower. These loans are
really business loans and represent ordinary business financing and
should not be treated as real-estate loans subject to the provisions of
section 24 of the Federal Reserve Act.
Accordingly, the committee recommends that the amendment to
section 24 as recommended by the Comptroller in his recommendation
(4) be modified so as not to base the exception on working capital
loans as such but to base the exception on loans where made on the
basis of repayment out of the operations of the borrower's business,
when the bank relies primarily on the borrower's general credit standing, forecast of operations with or without other security, but wishes
to take a lien on the borrower's real estate as a precaution against
contingencies, whether present or future.
The committee is of the opinion that the alternative aggregate
limitation on real-estate loans under section 24 of the Federal Reserve
Act of capital and surplus or 60 percent of time and savings deposits
is unnecessarily restrictive with respect to banks which have a relatively low proportion of time and savings deposits. This situation
arises particularly in communities where the competition for savings
is such that national banks cannot acquire savings at reasonable
interest rates sufficient to permit these institutions to meet the normal
demand of their customers for real-estate financing. The capacity
of such banks to engage in mortgage lending seems to be unreasonably
restricted by the present limitation.
The committee, therefore, recommends that paragraph 1 of section
24 be amended to add the additional alternative of 20 percent of
demand deposits. Thus amended, the statute would authorize a
national bank to make real-estate loans in an aggregate amount not
exceeding its capital and surplus, or 60 percent of its time and savings
deposits, or 20 percent of its demand deposits, whichever is greater.
It is the judgment of the committee that such additional alternative
would reasonably liberalize the capacity of such banks to make mortgage loans without in anywise exposing them to an undue risk.

One of the recommendations made by the Comptroller was approved
by the Advisory Committee, but was adopted by the Senate Committee only in part. It was:
Recommendation No. 17.—(1) Section 62 of title 12 of the United
States Code should be amended to eliminate the provision that
creditors of the association may inspect the list of shareholders.




40

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

(2) This statute should be amended by qualifying the right of the
shareholders to inspect the shareholders list by providing that they
may inspect the shareholders list only for a proper purpose not inimical to the interests of the bank.
Reasons.—(1) Double liability of shareholders in national banks
has now been eliminated. With the elimination of the double liability there is no longer any reason to permit the creditors of the bank
to view the shareholders lists. The purpose of that requirement was
so that the creditors would know who were the shareholders against
whom double liability might be enforced in the event of the insolvency
of the bank.
(2) There appears to be no reason why shareholders of national
banks should have any greater right of access to shareholders lists
than the shareholders of corporations generally. That right is generally limited to the right to inspect the shareholders list upon the
showing of a proper purpose not inimical to the interests of the corporation. The present requirement related back originally to the double
liability provisions of law, and there is no longer any need for the
provision to be any broader than in the case of corporations generally.
Comment.—It was the second part of this recommendation that
was not adopted by the Senate Committee nor included in S. 1451
as it passed the Senate. The Comptroller continues to believe that
adoption of this recommendation is desirable.

One of the recommendations made by the Comptroller was approved by the Advisory Committee, but was not adopted by the
Senate Committee. It was not included in S. 1451 as it passed the
Senate. It was:
Recommendation No. 41.—Section 2 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act should be amended to provide that in case of the inability
of the Comptroller of the Currency to act, through illness or otherwise,
the Acting Comptroller of the Currency shall be a member of the
Board of Directors in the place and stead of the Comptroller.
Reasons.—While the statute now provides that the Acting Comptroller of the Currency shall serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the event of a
vacancy in the office of the Comptroller of the Currency and during the
absence of the Comptroller from Washington, it says nothing about
the Acting Comptroller of the Currency serving as such director in
the event of the illness of the Comptroller. While it would be assumed that the Acting Comptroller of the Currency should serve as a
director of the Corporation during the illness or disability of the Comptroller, the authority should be made statutory.
Comment.—The Comptroller continues to believe that this change is
needed.
One of the Comptroller's recommendations was disapproved by the
Advisory Committee which substituted a recommendation of its own.
This substitute recommendation was acceptable to the Comptroller
and was included in S. 1451. It was:



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

41

Recommendation No. 13.—It is recommended that appropriate
amendment to sections 56 and 60 of title 12 of the United States Code
be enacted to require the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency
before the directors of any national bank may declare and pay to
shareholders of the association cash dividends which exceed the
amount of net profits after taxes realized from banking operations
during the previous 6 months' period. Furthermore, that amendment
be made to the statutes to permit directors of national banks to
declare dividends quarterly, semiannually, or annually, as long as all
legal requirements are met.
Reasons.—There have been cases where national banks have paid
dividends in excess of net profits after taxes to shareholders even
though such payment resulted in the dissipation of needed capital
funds.
A recent instance occurred in which the controlling block of the
capital stock of a strongly capitalized and well-managed national bank
was soJd to another shareholder. The new majority shareholder
negotiated a deal whereby the quarters of the bank were sold for a
large sum in excess of the book value, the profit of over $400,000 was
credited to the undivided profits of the bank, and the bank entered
into a long-term lease at unduly heavy rental expense for its occupancy
of the banking house it formerly owned. It seems possible, if not
likely, that the exorbitant terms of the lease rather than the real value
of the property may have been the principal factor in the negotiation
of the selling price of the banking house.
Under the new majority share ownership, the directors of the bank
declared over $1 million in dividends which exceeded by $480,000 the
profit on the sale of the banking house as well as net profits from operations for the year. Theretofore, the annual dividend to shareholders
amounted to $30,000 and today no dividend is being paid. Although
this depletion of the capita] funds of the bank did not violate the
above-quoted statutes, its effect was the creation of an undercapitalized position, particularly so in the light of the policies of the new
management which engaged in self-serving lending activities of an
unsafe and unsound nature. The Comptroller of the Currency
warned the entire board of directors of the bank under title 12, United
States Code, section 77 (Banking Act of 1933, sec. 30) which is a
preliminary step toward their removal from office. However, the
majority share ownership of the bank changed hands again and resulted in the election of another new board of directors. This bank
still remains in an undercapitalized condition. Although the present
management, which is the third within 2 years since the initial sale of
control in 1954, has been advised of the need for additional capital
funds, the matter must be delayed until the settlement of litigation
between former and present principal shareholders arising out of
charges of fraud and misrepresentation in the sale of the shares and the
banking house.
It is deemed necessary to ask for the reasonable legal requirement
that the Comptroller approve the payment of cash dividends exceeding the bank's net profits after taxes for the previous year to prevent
such situations from arising.
With respect to the recommendation concerning the frequency of



42

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

declaration of dividends, many banks find it desirable to declare dividends at intervals more frequently than semiannually as now specifically provided in the law. To answer many inquiries concerning
this subject the Comptroller of the Currency has incorporated the
following ruling in the Digest of Opinions of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Relating to Operations and Powers of National
Banks:
"6310A. Declaration and payment of dividends more frequently
than semiannually.
"Under R. S. 5199 and 5204 (12 U. S. C. 60 and 56), the directors
of a national bank are expressly empowered to declare dividends
semiannually out of the bank's 'net profits.' However, until the
bank's surplus equals its common capital, the bank must first carry
'not less than one-tenth part of its net profits of the preceding half
year to its surplus fund.' (The 'preceding half year' refers to the
6-months' period ending June 30 or December 31, as the case may be.)
Such dividends may be made payable more often than semiannually,
such as quarterly.
"The reference in R. S. 5199 to semiannual declaration of dividends
is related to the requirement in the same sentence that, before declaration of a dividend, the bank shall carry not less than one-tenth part
of its net profits to surplus until the same shall equal the amount of
its common capital. There is no objection on the part of this office
to more frequent declarations of dividends (for example, quarterly)
so long as the bank's surplus fund is at least equal to its capital."
This ruling is based upon the opinion that the law is intended to be
restrictive only as long as the surplus of the bank remains less than
the amount of its capital. After the legally required capital and
surplus relationship is established and no further transfers of portions
of net profits to surplus must be made, there seems to be no reason
for restricting the declaration of dividends to a semiannual basis
if there is no conflict with other provisions of law. A clarification
of the statute to deal with what appears to be all-inclusive restrictive
language would be helpful.
Recommendations of Advisory Committee.—It is recognized that
occasionally there occurs a case where dividend declarations which
are made in technical compliance with the requirements of existing
law nonetheless are not justified by present and accumulated earnings,
result in a weakened and undercapitalized bank, and violate safe and
sound banking practice. Present law should, therefore, be amended
to vest in the Comptroller of the Currency appropriate powers to
prevent any such occurrence. The recommendation of the Comptroller is considered to be sound in principle, but it is questioned
whether it would be practical or equitable in operation. It is therefore
disapproved.

An amendment to strengthen existing law to prevent the recurrence
of any such case should not be so restrictive in operation as to penalize
the great bulk of conservatively, soundly, and safely managed banks.
It is well known that the dividend policies and records of the Nation's
banks have been and are conservative in the interest of increasing
bank capital in order to strengthen even further the banking system
and to enable it better to meet the ever-expending credit needs of our



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

43

country. However, the conservative dividend policy followed by
the Nation's banks understandably is not likely to aid the banks in
attracting the additional capital which the banks need if they are to
continue to meet the increasing credit needs of the country. Stockholders in banks have had to be content with a smaller dividend
return on their invested capital than have the stockholders of other
major segments of American business and industry. Hence, any
amendment to accomplish the Comptroller's objective should avoid
any undue burden on the dividend policy of banks generally.
Accordingly the committee feels that the terms of the recommendation of the Comptroller should be amended so that the requirement
for obtaining prior approval of dividend declarations for any calendar
year should be operative only in a case in which dividend declarations
in any calendar year exceed net profits after taxes for the current
year, plus retained net profits for the preceding 2 years. Such a
provision would supply the Comptroller with the additional authority
he needs to prevent any unsound dividend declaration and at the
same time not impose an unduly restrictive limitation on all banks
in order to prevent occasional abuse.
The committee, therefore, recommends that the Comptroller's
proposal be amended as set out in the preceding paragraph.
*
*
*
*

Four of the Comptroller's recommendations were disapproved by
the Advisory Committee and not included in S. 1451. They were:
Recommendation No. 21.—It is recommended that section 30 of the
Banking Act of 1933 be amended to prevent a director or officer of a
national bank who has been removed under the provisions of section
77 from voting his shares of stock for any purpose at regular or
special meetings of the shareholders. The remaining outstanding
stock shall be regarded as 100 percent of the bank's outstanding shares
for all voting purposes. If the removed shareholder sells or transfers
his shares, it may not be voted by the new owner unless the Comptroller of the Currency determines that the sale or transfer was bona
fide and not merely an attempt by the removed officer to vote the
shares through a third party.
Reasons.—The statute provides that any director or officer who
has been removed from, office is subject to a fine of not more than
$5,000, or imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or both, in the
discretion of the court if he participates in any manner in the management of the bank. However, there is nothing in the statute that
prohibits a removed officer or director from voting the stock of the
bank owned by him. Thus, if he owns more than 50 percent of the
stock of the bank, he can, as a practical matter, manage the bank
through those he is able to elect to the directorate, and, in order to
eliminate his direct or indirect control, his stock while owned by
him or anyone he controls should be deprived of its voting power
and the remainder of the stock of the bank held by independent
parties should be considered as representing 100 percent of the voting
stock of the bank.
Reasons for Disapproval by Advisory Committee.—The remedy of
unconditional deprivation of the right to vote stock as proposed by



44

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

the Comptroller poses possible questions of legality and of abuse.
Such questions could well weaken the effectiveness of such a remedy
if enacted into law.
While the committee is sympathetic with the objective which the
Comptroller seeks, the recommendation for the reasons above is
disapproved.

Comments.—While the Comptroller continues to believe there is
merit to his proposal, no consideration is being given at this time to
again submitting this recommendation to the Congress.
Recommendation No. 37.—It is recommended that R. S. 5240 be
amended to provide that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
shall pay to the Comptroller of the Currency annually an amount
equal to 50 percent of the expense incurred by it in examining State
nonmember insured banks, and the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System shall pay to the Comptroller of the Currency annually
an amount equal to 50 percent of the expense incurred by it and by
the Federal Reserve banks in examining State member banks, and
that the expenses of the Comptroller of the Currency not otherwise
provided for shall be assessed by the Comptroller of the Currency
upon the national banks in proportion to their assets and resources.
Reasons.—National banks now bear the full expense of the supervision and the examinations which they receive from the Comptroller's
office. The entire expenses of the Comptroller's office are paid out
of assessments levied on national banks. State banks, on the contrary, which are supervised and examined by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, or the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, do not bear directly any of the expense of such Federal
supervision and examination. In the great majority of cases State
banks are examined jointly by the State authorities and by the
examiners of the Federal Reserve banks or the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. In many States such examinations are conducted only once a year. By conducting joint examinations with
Federal examiners State banking departments are enabled to operate
with substantially smaller staffs and at less expense to the banks.
Thus State banks are to some extent subsidized by the Federal
Government through the Federal Reserve System and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, and they get the benefits of Federal
supervision and examination at no direct cost to them. All national
banks in the continental United States are members of the Federal
Reserve System and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. All of the funds of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation are derived from insurance assessments on insured banks
including national banks. Thus national banks through their payments to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are paying part
of the cost of examining State banks. This inequity should be
eliminated.
In some States the examination fees are very much less for State
banks than for national banks particularly in the case of larger banks.
This is an incentive for national banks to leave the national system
and convert into State banks.
Through the payments suggested in the proposed amendment the
examination fees assessed to the national banks by the Comptroller



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

45

of the Currency could be reduced, thus restoring a more equitable
balance between the State and National systems.
Reasons for Disapproval by Advisory Committee.—No reasons stated.
Comments.—While the Comptroller continues to believe there is
merit to his proposal, no consideration is being given at this time to
again submitting this recommendation to the Congress.
Recommendation No. 45.—It is recommended that legislation be
enacted to provide that any national bank located within the same
county may, with the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency,
acquire by consolidation, merger, or purchase of assets, and assumption of liabilities another national bank which is found by the Comptroller of the Currency to be in a precarious financial condition and
permit the acquiring bank to continue the office or offices of the absorbed
bank as branch offices, even though State laws do not permit the
establishment of such branches.
Reasons.—Situations have arisen in the past where communities
in States the laws of which either prohibit branch banking or provide
for limited branch banking have been deprived of needed banking
services through the discontinuance of a national bank because of
insolvency. Other nearby banks could and would have provided
those communities with all necessary banking services through takeovers of the discontinuing banks and the establishment of branches
at the locations of such banks if the branch banking laws had not
prohibited their doing so. This would have substantially eased the
problem of the bank supervisory authorities and been to the best
advantage of all concerned. Similar situations are almost certain
to arise in the future. It would appear to be essential that a method
of dealing with such problems and permitting the continuance of
necessary banking services in such situations be provided through
the recommended legislation.
Reasons for Disapproval by Advisory Committee.—While the merit
of the reasoning advanced by the Comptroller in support of this
recommendation is recognized, nonetheless this recommendation
departs from the "State law test" historically applied to branches of
national banks. For this reason this recommendation is nonetheless
disapproved.
Comments.—While the Comptroller continues to believe there is
merit to his proposal, no consideration is being given at this time to
again submitting this recommendation to the Congress.
Recommendation No. 4$A.—It is recommended that a statute be
enacted to govern specifically certain important phases of the administration of pension, profit-sharing, and employee welfare or benefit
accounts of national banks, as follows:
(1) Such accounts into which profits of the bank are contributed
should have the approval of the stockholders who own a majority of
the capital stock of the bank.
(2) Borrowing by such accounts should be prohibited, except for
temporary needs to meet required disbursements.
(3) Investment of funds of such accounts in any real estate, equipment, enterprise, obligation, interest or stock, the principal purpose
of which is to serve the interest of the bank or any director, officer,
or employee thereof, should be prohibited.
432389—57

46

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

(4) Ownership of more than 5 percent of the shares of the capital
stock of any bank or trust company or the investment of more than
10 percent of the corpus of the pension, profit-sharing, and employee
welfare or benefit fund or trust in shares of any bank or trust company
whichever is the lesser based upon cost price at the time of purchase,
should be prohibited.
(5) The Comptroller of the Currency should be authorized by law
to examine, in the course of the examination of each national bank, the
affairs of any pension, profit-sharing, and employee welfare or benefit
accounts which it established for its directors, officers, or employees,
except when such accounts are administered by an independent
corporate trustee.
Reasons.—In the investment of trust funds of pension, profit-sharing, and employee welfare or benefit arrangements, abuses have
occurred which could have been prevented had suitable statutory
restrictions existed governing the administration of such trust funds.
The most outstanding abuses which have come to the attention of
this office are:
(1) The failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of the employer bank. This could result in litigation. In the case of Heinz v.
National Bank of Commerce in St. Louis (237 Fed. 942), the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals held that the creation of a pension fund
was within the incidental powers of a national bank. In that case the
directors had established the plan pursuant to a resolution of the
shareholders. Such approval by the shareholders is believed to be
wise procedure in order that the shareholders may be fully informed,
and their specific approval may remove the possibility of later criticism. Furthermore, the shareholders are entitled to know the extent
to which the future earnings of their bank are committed for such a
purpose.
(2) There have been cases where pension funds created by banks
have borrowed substantial sums of money to purchase the controlling
interest in other banks. Control held in such a manner permits the
employer-bank to dominate the policies and operations of the bank
concerned. We do not believe that such funds should be used for this
purpose.
(3) Also, trust funds ofemployee benefit accounts have been invested
in banking houses, equipment, automobuVparking facilities, insurance
agency, and an automobile dealer-ship on the verge of bankruptcy.
Such investments are not suitable to the type of trust funds being
invested and are indicative of self interest.
(4) There is divided opinion as to whether stock of an employer
bank is a proper investment of trust funds held for its employees. We
believe it would be advisable to restrict the ownership of such stock to
a reasonable amount with respect to the corpus of the trust as well as
to the proportion of the capital stock of the employer bank. Furthermore, the limitations recommended are the same as those provided by
section 17 (c) (5) of Regulation F of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System which sets forth miscellaneous limitations on
investment of common trust funds. Fundamentally, it is contrary to
sound fiduciary practice to engage in self-dealing, particularly where
the trustor and trustee are essentially the same. We also regard it to



REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

47

be inappropriate for an employee's pension to be substantially dependent upon the continued success of his employer. In any case
where it is necessary for a bank to increase its capital stock by means
of a sale of new shares, ownership of a major portion of the existing
capital stock by an employees' trust fund, which may not be in a
position to purchase more stock, could impede if not prevent an increase in capital which might be necessary for the continued welfare
of the bank and the protection of the interests of its depositors.
Furthermore, if the bank is sole trustee, it is prohibited by title 12,
United States Code, section 61 (U. S. R. S., sec. 5144) from voting
such shares held in trust in the election of directors, except under certain circumstances. If these circumstances are met and a substantial
portion of the stock of the bank is held in trust, it may become possible
for the management of the bank to perpetuate itself in office. This
perpetuation of management could also occur through the influence of
directors and officers upon employees, if they, instead of the bank,
are trustees of the fund.
(5) Statutory authority exists under which the Comptroller of the
Currency may examine trust departments of national banks and in
any case where such a department is acting as trustee of an employees'
pension, profit-sharing, welfare or benefit trust, the administration
of such trust funds may be examined. However, when the bank is
not trustee and such funds are under a trusteeship composed of
directors, officers, employees, or others, statutory authority does not
exist which would permit examination into the administration of
such trusts. Even though under these circumstances the administration of the trust is not a direct responsibility of the bank, because
of the fact that its trustees (other than an independent corporate
trustee) are closely connected with the bank and in a position to be
influenced by those who formulate and administer its policies, the
bank might be held liable for any loss which may occur in such a
trust fund by reason of unsound acts of its directors, officers, or
employees who also serve as trustees and whose interest is divided
between the bank and the trusteeship. The probability or likelihood
that under adverse circumstances the trustees may be charged with
self-dealing and the bank held liable make it advisable that statutory
authority be provided under which the affairs of such trusts may be
supervised.
Reasons for Disapproval by Advisory Committee.—For some time
now the Congress, as well as several agencies in the executive branch
of the Federal Government, have been studying the need for additional Federal legislation with respect to the establishment and regulation of employee benefit plans generally. In the second session
of the last Congress the subcommittee on Pension and Welfare Funds
of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee made an extensive
report of its findings and recommendations in this area. The subcommittee also reported to the full committee proposed legislation
which would impose reporting and disclosure requirements with
respect to the financial details of the operation of employee benefit
plans. As this proposed legislation was reported late in the last session
of Congress, no action was taken on it. It seems reasonably clear




48

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

at this time that that or similar legislation will be introduced and
pressed in the next Congress.
In the light of these considerations, it would seem to be premature
for the Congress to consider this recommendation at this time. For
this reason this recommendation is disapproved.
Comments.—The Comptroller considers it essential that there be
enacted at an early date legislation specifically governing certain
important phases of the administration of pension and profit-sharing
trusts of national banks. Because the trustee is frequently the bank,
or designated individuals selected by and closely connected with the
bank, the trust instruments ordinarily place very great discretionary
powers in the trustees. There is at present no control over the actions
of the trustees except the usual right of beneficiaries of the trusts to
object to actions of the trustees. These beneficiaries are all employees
of the bank. In a few cases funds of this type of trust have been
used by banks to acquire and own stock beyond reasonable limits,
or to acquire the stock of competitive banks, or for other purposes
more to the benefit of the bank than the bank's employees. Legislation which would set minimum standards for the operation of these
trusts should not wait for consideration by the Congress of proposed
legislation regarding employee benefit plans generally, in which
problems other than those peculiar to banks would be uppermost.
With respect to the proposed legislation referred to by the Advisory
Committee, it should be pointed out that this legislation would not
have provided for the regulation of employee benefit plans but merely
for the gathering of information.
It is anticipated that this recommendation will be again presented
to the Congress at an early date.

One of the Comptroller's recommendations relating to facilities of
national banks at military posts was disapproved as being unnecessary
because existing legislation on the subject was deemed adequate.
The remaining eleven recommendations, which were all purely
technical in nature and involved no change of substance, but merely
deleted obsolete provisions of law were approved by the Advisory
Committee and included in S. 1451 as it passed the Senate.
In addition to the changes recommended by the Comptroller and by
the Advisory Committee as indicated above, S. 1451 would make
several other important changes in the national banking laws.
Conflicts of Interest

Section 8 of S. 1451 would prohibit the Comptroller or any Deputy
Comptroller from owning stock in any national bank or District bank,
or from holding any office or employment in any such bank while he
holds his office. Under present law the Comptroller and the First
Deputy Comptroller are prohibited from being interested in any
national banking association. The proposed change is merely
declaratory of existing practice.
Section 8 would add a provision to present law making it unlawful
for any employee of the Office of the Comptroller to accept employ


REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

49

ment in any national bank or any District bank, within 2 years after
terminating his employment with the Comptroller, except upon
approval of the Comptroller pursuant to regulations prescribed by
him. A similar rule is under existing practice applied by the Comptroller's office to national bank examiners.
Preferred Stock

Section 20 of S. 1451 changes present law dealing with the issuance
of preferred stock by national banks to provide that preferred stock
may be issued only when approved by the Comptroller, after determination by him that the most practicable method of obtaining
desired and needed additional capital is through the issuance of preferred stock. The present provisions of law permitting the issuance of
preferred stock by national banks are regarded as emergency provisions to be used only under emergency conditions.
Shareholders List

Section 22 of S. 1451 would add a requirement that the Comptroller
shall be immediately notified by the president or cashier of the national bank involved, of any single transaction recorded on the bank
stock transfer records involving the purchase or sale of 10 per centum
or more of the outstanding shares of the association.
Disclosure of Stock Ownership

Section 23 of S. 1451 would require that the record owner of any
stock in any national bank shall within 30 days after becoming such
record owner notify the Comptroller in writing of the name of any
person or persons having a beneficial or equitable interest in such
stock in excess of 5 per centum of the outstanding shares of the bank.
In the case of stock held in a trust, this requirement may be satisfied
by filing a copy of the trust instrument with the Comptroller. Any
change in the person or persons having such a beneficial or equitable
interest in any such stock, except pursuant to any trust instrument on
file, must be promptly reported to the Comptroller by the record
owner. The transferee of any such stock must, within 30 days after
such transfer, cause his name to be listed as the record owner thereof.
Removal of Officers and Directors

Section 29 of S. 1451 would continue in substance the present provisions of law dealing with the removal of officers and directors who had
violated laws or engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, but would
add the provision that in the case of a hearing held by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System as provided for by the
statute, the hearing shall be held in accordance with the provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act and shall be subject to review as
therein provided except that the review by the court shall be upon the
weight of the evidence. The usual test under the Administrative
Procedure Act is whether the decision of the administrative agency is
supported by substantial evidence.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

Stock Options
Section 31 (a) (9) of S. 1451 would add a new provision permitting
national banks, with the approval of the Comptroller, to grant restricted stock options which qualify under the Internal Revenue Code
to their employees. This section would provide that no stock options
shall be approved if the option price is less than 85 per centum of the
fair market value of the shares, or 85 per centum of the book value of
the shares, as determined by the Comptroller, whichever is greater.
Stock Acquisitions in Connection With Bank Mergers
Section 32 (b) of S. 1451 would permit a national bank, with the
approval of the Comptroller, to purchase and hold, for not to exceed
90 days, stock of another bank as a step in a proposed absorption of
such other bank through merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets
and assumption of liabilities, or otherwise.
Maximum Rate of Interest
Section 35 of S. 1451 would contain a provision to the effect that the
purchase of obligations or evidences of indebtedness from the actual
owner thereof shall not, for the purposes of determining the maximum
rate of interest which a national bank may charge, be deemed a loan or
discount if such purchase would not, under the law of the State in
which the purchasing bank is located, be deemed a loan or extension of
credit subject to the interest or usury statutes of such State.
Limit on Bank's Indebtedness
Section 37 of S. 1451 would provide that no national bank may at
any time be indebted in an amount exceeding the amount of its capital
stock plus the amount of its unimpaired surplus fund, except on account of demands of a specified nature. Under present law the
amount in which a national bank may be indebted is limited to the
amount of its capital stock.
Investment in Bank Premises
Section 43 of S. 1451 would provide that no national bank, without
the approval of the Comptroller may invest in bank premises in
amounts in excess of 100 percent of its capital stock or 50 percent of
its capital and surplus, whichever is greater. Under present law investments in bank premises are limited to 100 percent of the capital
stock of the bank.
Businesses Representing Themselves as Banks
Section 44 (b) of S. 1451 would provide that it shall be unlawful for
any institution organized under the laws of the United States to represent in any manner that it is a bank unless the law under which it is
organized expressly authorizes it to engage in the business of receiving




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

51

demand deposits and of making loans and discounts, or expressly
authorizes the use of the word "bank" in its corporate or business
name.
Provision for Amending Articles
Section 47 of S. 1451 would add a new provision specifying the manner in which a national bank may amend its articles of association.
Outside Audits
Section 48 (c) of S. 1451 would provide that in any case in which the
Comptroller deems it necessary, he may require any national bank to
have an audit made by an independent individual or firm approved
by him.
Territorial Applicability
Section 70 of S. 1451 would extend the territorial applicability of the
National Bank Act to the several States, the District of Columbia, the
several territories and the several possessions of the United States, and
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Legislation Enacted
Public Law 496 of the~;84th Congress, approved April 27, 1956,
amended section 5146 of the Revised Statutes to require that twothirds, instead of the former three-fourths, of the directors of national
banks must reside, and must have resided for at least 1 year preceding
their election, within the State in which the bank is located or within
100 miles, instead of the former 50 miles, of the bank. This legislation was enacted at the recommendation of the Comptroller of the
Currency.
Public Law 502 of the 84th Congress, approved April 30, 1956,
amended section 5240 of the Revised Statutes, which requires the
Comptroller of the Currency to examine every national bank twice in
each calendar year, to permit the Comptroller to waive one of the required two examinations. The Comptroller may not, however, waive
an examination with respect to any particular bank more frequently
than once in any 2-year period. The legislation also permits assessments for examinations to bejmade lupon^the^banks in proportion to
their assets and resources on dates to be determined by the Comptroller rather than at the dates of examinations, and permits the Comptroller to assess against national banks having trust departments the
expense of examinations of those departments. This legislation was
enacted at the recommendation of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Public Law 809 of the ,84th Congress, approved July 26, 1956, the
Farm Credit Act of 1956, amended ParagraphjJjSeventh of section 5136
of the Revised Statutes to provide that the limitations and restrictions
therein contained as to dealing in, underwriting and purchasing for its
own account, investment securities shall not apply to obligations issued by the thirteen banks for cooperatives or any of them. Prior to
enactment of this legislation national banks were permitted to deal in,
underwrite and purchase for their own accounts, obligations issued by



52

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

the thirteen banks for cooperatives or any of them only in amounts not
exceeding 10 percent of the bank's capital and surplus.
Public Law 854 of the 84th Congress, approved July 31, 1956, the
Federal Executive Pay Act of 1956, increased the compensation of the
Comptroller of the Currency from $16,000 per annum to $20,500 per
annum.
Public Law 896 of the 84th Congress, approved August 1, 1956, ex-,
tended the applicability of all acts of Congress relating to national
banks to Guam.
Litigation
On October 8, 1956, the Supreme Court of the United States refused
to review the decision of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in the case of Michigan National Bank v. Gidney, 237 F. 2d 762.
The Court of Appeals had held that the Comptroller's action in denying a second branch in Saginaw, Michigan to the Michigan National
Bank of Lansing, Michigan, had been based upon a proper construction of applicable law, and had affirmed the District Court decision
granting a motion for summary judgment made on behalf of the
Comptroller of the Currency.
On August 17, 1956, suit was filed by the Wayne Oakland Bank of
Royal Oak, Michigan, against the Comptroller of the Currency seeking a declaratory judgment that the issuance by the Comptroller of
a certificate authorizing the establishment by the National Bank of
Detroit, Michigan, of a branch in Troy, Michigan, would be unlawful,
and an injunction restraining the Comptroller from issuing his branch
certificate. This suit was filed in the United States District Court for
the District of Columbia, but was transferred with the consent of
the Comptroller to the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan where the National Bank of Detroit was joined as
a party defendant. At the close of 1956 this case was pending in that
Court.
Organization and Staff
On December 31, 1956 the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
had in its employ 1,081 persons. Of these, 195 were assigned to the
Washington office, including 32 in the Federal Reserve Issue and Redemption Division, which is an expense of the Federal Reserve banks.
During the year the total personnel in the Washington office decreased
by 3 and the total field force decreased by 52 persons.
Twenty-six national bank examiners (one deceased) and 94 assistant
national bank examiners left the service during the year. In the same
period 23 assistants were commissioned national bank examiners, 1
former national bank examiner was reappointed, and 71 new assistants
were appointed. Two assistant examiners returned from military
furlough, leaving a total of 255 examiners and 524 assistant examiners
in the service at the end of the year.




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

District Chief National Bank Examiner Alfred P. Leyburn, in
charge of the Atlanta office, retired on October 31, 1956 and was succeeded by Lester V. Bailey, who had been serving as a National Bank
Examiner in the San Francisco district.
Assistant Chief National Bank Examiner Clarence F. Smith of the
Washington office staff retired on January 31, 1956 and was succeeded
by National Bank Examiner F. Parker West of the New York district.
The entire national bank examining staff continued under Schedule
B of the civil service regulations during the year, the result being
that assistant national bank examiners were recruited on an excepted
basis as has been the long-established procedure. However, the competition that has existed for all types of personnel has affected the recruitment efforts in almost every district, resulting in the decline
amounting to 43, as above noted, in the staff of assistant examiners.
In two of the districts notices were inserted in banking periodicals
calling attention to the existence of vacancies in assistant examiner
positions, without noticeable results.
The previously established educational programs conducted for
members of the examining staff, referred to in previous reports, was
continued during the year. This program is designed to train newly
appointed assistant examiners and improve the efficiency of the entire
examining staff. As of December 31, 1956, 263 examining staff members had completed the extension courses of the American Institute
of Banking, and 239 were still enrolled; 49 had completed the graduate
school courses conducted by the American Bankers Association at
Rutgers University, the University of Wisconsin, the University of
Washington, and the University of Louisiana, and 22 were still enrolled in these courses; and 153 had completed the prescribed courses
in the inter-agency training school for both examiners and assistant
examiners established in 1952 by the Comptroller of the Currency,
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
As previously stated, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
had 1,081 persons in its employ as of December 31, 1956. The following table is designed to show how the services of these employees
are utilized and how the work is organized.

STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN THE NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM

The authorized capital stock of the 4,659 national banks in existence
on December 31, 1956, consisted of common capital stock aggregating
$2, 634, 403, 741, a net increase during the year of $163,987,038, and
preferred capital stock of $3,807,670, a net decrease during the year
of $358,000. These figures include two banks recently chartered but
not yet open for business, and excludes one bank converted into a
State bank and one bank consolidated with another national bank,
both at the close of business on December 31, 1956.
In addition to 54 applications with proposed common capital stock
of $15,500,000 carried over from the previous year, 69 applications
were received to organize national banks and to convert State banks
into national banking associations with proposed common capital
stock of $17,798,330. Of these applications, 33 with proposed common capital stock of $8,585,000 were approved; 23 with proposed
common capital stock of $6,415,000 were rejected; and the remainder
had been abandoned or were still pending on December 31. From
the applications carried over from the previous year and those approved during 1956, 40 national banking associations with common
capital stock of $12,185,000 were authorized to commence business.
Of the charters issued, 10 with common capital stock of $3,710,000
resulted from the conversions of State banks.
Changes in the number and capital stock of national banks during
the year ended December 31, 1956, are shown in the following

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 Kevised Statutes,
called upon to submit 4 reports of condition during the year ended
December 31, 1956. Keports were required as of April 10, June 30,
September 26, 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 4 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, 1956.
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, 1956.
In accordance with the code of law for the District of Columbia,
banks other than national in the District were required to make to the



64

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

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 waive 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 and/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 1956, 327 member national banks in the
United States submitted 369 reports of affiliates. Included in these
figures are 200 banks in 25 States which are members of 23 holding
company groups. The number of banks in each holding company
group varied from 1 to 57. The actual number of reporting affiliates
and holding company affiliates was 193.
In addition there were 2 nonnational banks in the District of Columbia which are members of the Federal Keserve System that
reported 3 affiliates to the Comptroller pursuant to the provisions of
the code of law for the District of Columbia.
ISSUE AND REDEMPTION OF NOTES

Six hundred and fifteen shipments of Federal Reserve currency,
aggregating $5,667,420,000, were made from Washington, D. C ,
during the year ended December 31, 1956, to the Federal Reserve
agents and Federal Reserve branch banks; and, in addition, 18
deliveries, aggregating $86,500,000, were made to the Treasurer of
the United States.
Four thousand five hundred and sixty lots of unfit Federal Reserve
currency, consisting of 481^606,813 notes, aggregating $5,828,177,902,
were received for verification and certification for destruction.
Thirty-eight lots of national bank notes, consisting of 175,160 notes,
aggregating $2,890,192, were received for verification and certification
for retirement and destruction.




REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY

65

One hundred and eighty-three thousand, five hundred and forty-five
fragments and charred Federal Reserve and National Bank currency,
aggregating $3,039,435, were presented by the Treasurer of the United
States for identification and approval.
EXAMINATIONS CONDUCTED

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. However, the Comptroller is authorized to waive
an examination with respect to any particular bank not more frequently than once in any 2-year period. In addition to the regular
examinations, special examinations are conducted of banks the condition of which is regarded as unsatisfactory. Also, the District Code

NOTES

Act of Feb. 25,1863, provided for reports of condition on the first of each quarter, before commencement
of business.
Act of June 3,1864—First Monday of January, April, July, and October, before commencement of business, on form prescribed by Comptroller (in addition to reports on first Tuesday of each month showing
condition at commencement of business in respect to certain items; i. e., loans, specie, deposits, and circulation).
Act of Mar. 3,1869, not less than 5 reports per year, on form prescribed by Comptroller, at close of business on any past date by him specified.
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 Keserve 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 Bank
ing 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 to
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.)
