* No. 1008 i i -i Y/ Des Moines, Iowa The Supreme Court ruled that state limitations on branch bank ing by state-chartered banks are fully applicable to national banks. This decision will be o f par ticular interest to Montana bank ers who are currently watching a pending merger between a Butte bank and the bank in Anaconda. Details can be found on the back page of this Bulletin. The court said national banks and Federal agencies that regulate them must observe state laws that allow state banks to open branches only by taking over existing banks. The case involved two national banks in Utah, First Security Bank in Ogden and First National Bank of Logan, that wanted to establish new branch o ffice s despite a Utah law restricting branch banking. The High Court ruled unani mously that Federal law requires national banks to adhere to what ever limitations are placed on state banks by state law. The decision was a defeat for James Saxon, who as Comptroller of the Currency was chief Federal regu lator of national banks. The con troversial Mr. Saxon, who left o ffice last month, tried in many ways to increase competition among banks. r 4 December 19,1966 He argued, in the Utah branch banking ca se, that “ Federal policy strongly favors competition among banks” but that the Utah law and similar state statutes are anti competitive. Underwriting Decision Pending at Press Time A d ecision was expected at press time from U.S. District Judge Alexander H oltzoff as to whether national banks may under write revenue bonds. Such author ization was granted to banks by former Comptroller James J. Saxon, but the Federal Reserve Board of Governors opposes this position, stating that the law prohibits the national and state member banks from underwriting any bonds ex cept general obligations. The suit was joined by 100 investment firms filso opposed to revenue un derwriting by banks. WESTERN, NEBR.: Chester Rhynalds, 68, president of the Nebras ka State Bank, died last week.
