ALTHOUGH officers will not be elected until after a slate of directors is named, it is the "planning at present" for Nelson to be chairman and Rankin to be president, was said. Nelson, a career banker, retired in May at First American National Bank as executive vice president Hamilton Bancshares, has 1,720,182 common shares outstanding following sale last February of 300,000 new shares at $29.25 per share, which provided funds to help finance the expansion and acquisition program. ORGANIZED IN 1930 as the first registered bank holding company in Tennessee and one of the earliest in the nation, Hamilton operates in both Tennessee and Georgia.

As part of a long growth trend, the holding company in the five years 1967-1971 has increased net income 84, Tuesday book special!

Carmark Cochran, attorney in the firm of Martin Cochran. Whitaker said the next step is to file an application for a state charter for Hamilton Dank of Nashville, ith a total capitalization of $10 million. Other bankers said this is believed to be the largest capitalization of any new bank in Tennessee history, and one of the largest in the nation's history.

"Nashville is an important banking center nationally, as well as regionally, and our market surveys show a demand here for our kind of banking system services and expertise," Whitaker said. CAPITALIZATION of the new bank will consist of 400,000 shares of common stock at $10 par, which will provide $4 million; surplus of $2 million, and $2 million in undivided profits. This capitalization would make the new bank second in the chain only to the lead bank, Hamilton National at Chattanooga, which is the largest in East Tennessee, Whitaker said. Wilson Court Rezones Area For 1-40 City Continued from Page One) request by McFarland Hospital for To comply with a ruling by the state attorney general's office, the court rescinded its action in April of stipulating that a county attorney be elected on a one-year basis by a vote of the magistrates. THE COURT plans to ask for a new enabling act requiring a court-vote for the office of attorney.

A previous special act, providing for appointing the attorney by the judge, did not meet the approval of the court members. The court's action in issuing $573,000 in rural school bonds, allocated for additions to West Elementary School, excludes special school districts in Lebanon and Watertown from the proceeds and from responsibility in retiring the bond issue. A subsequent tax estimated at 13 cents will be imposed on property outside the two special districts. Magistrates George Harding and Lewis Chambers questioned the logic, of excluding the special districts from a pro rata share of the proceeds and from taxation, but the motion passed 41-1. CHAMBERS challenged the election of Harding to the road commission, following Harding's 25-14 triumph over incumbent Dick Macon.

Chambers said Harding's total was not a majority of the court's 50 members. Magistrate Hoyal Johnson changed his vote from Macon to Harding, but Macon rose and said he was resigning anyway, and a subsequent second vote gave Harding a 42-0 victory. The vote hiking the pay of the magistrates, which required approval by a two-thirds majority, barely met the requirement in a 34-7 ballot. It was the last meeting of the current court. Newly-apportioned, all 50 magisterial posts will be filled in the Aug.

Six enemy tanks, built by Russia, were destroyed five by artiUery and U.S. naval gunfire and 43 North Vietnamese were killed, the reports said.

Saigon's losses were reported as five men killed and 10 wounded. THE ACTION occurred THE LIVING BIBLE along a coastal strip of land nine miles east-northeast of Quang Tri, South Vietnam's northernmost provincial capital which fell to the North Vietnamese 10 weeks ago. The Navy said the 7th Fleet destroyer Robison sank three enemy barges off the coast of North Vietnam after tlry bad unloaded supplies from a Chinese freighter. A spokesman said the Robison did not attack the freighter in the action Sunday along North Vietnam's southern coast. There have been several reports of barges unloading supplies from freigltfers offshore to circumvent the U.S.

But he said sources who returned from forward units told him that paratroopers on the eastern edge of the city were under heavy fire. The informants said air strikes were being called in against enemy positions surrounding the Citadel, a walled fortress in the heart of Quang Tri. The planes were reported receiving heavy antiaircraft fire from inside the Citadel.

The airborne, which together with South Vietnamese marines and supporting armored cavalry launched a drive June 28 to recapture Quang Tri Province, has been stalled on the edge of the city since late last week.

bombings would allow President Nixon to make Americans believe that Hanoi was forced to surrender while Hanoi, in exchange, would receive the promise of an American disengagement. LE MONDE said Mcndes-Francc believes that if his theory is correct it was possible "there will finally be useful talks or that already talks are being held somewhere, mysteriously, God knows where or how." Presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger said Saturday he had "some reason to believe" that North Vietnam was ready for "serious negotiations" to end the war when the talks resume Thursday. Thuy, speaking to newsmen at the airport, mixed tough talk with promises of good will and a serious negotiating attitude. He said Hanoi hoped a negotiated settlement in Vietnam could be reached if the Americans also displayed good will.

"WE CONSIDER that the seven-point plan of the (Viet Cong) revolutionaiy provisional government is tho correct basis for a settlement," Thuy said, "but to will gladly examine any new American proposals that may be made to us in a few days." U.S. negotiator William Porter suspended the talks May 4 on orders from President Nixon, charging the Communist delegations did not want to negotiate seriously. Nixon agreed to restart the talks after Kissinger's recent trip to Peking. ''We come to the negotiating table with a serious attitude and good will," Thuy said. "We are sure that if tho American side shows the samo attitude we can rapidly reach a peaceful settlement." DESPITE THE promise of good will, Thuy gave no indication of a softer Communist line when he and Viet Cong negotiator Mine, Nguyen Tin Binh actually sit down opposite Porter and the South Vietnamese Thursday.

Thuy said special adviser Le Due Tho, considered the true power of Hanoi's negotiating team and the man who held secret talks with Kissinger, would return to Paris later. Hanoi has made resumption of weekly regular sessions a condition for renewed private meetings with U. S. representatives outside of Paris. There was speculation Tho's return might bring new private meetings.

THUY REPEATED some parts of the Viet Cong peace plan, hich has been rejected by both the U.S. and South Vietnam. Among the points he mentioned were demands that the U.S. stop supporting a Saigon government "to which the U.S. gave birth, or any other one" and that the Americans withdraw all forces, including military instructors, and dismantle all its bases in South Vietnam.

As champion, Spassky can win by being the first to accumulate 12 match points with one point for a victory and one-half point for a draw. Fischer as challenger needs 12.5 points to win. WHILE FISCHER sought changes in the arrangements, Spassky said he was going to relax and not argue.

hen the aircraft was landed, however, the agents "recklessly and In violation of the regulations and policy of the (United States) refused to permit refueling and departure of the airplane and, armed with pistols and rifles, opened fire on the airplane, disabling and destroying the engine and tires." The suit further charges that federal agents were negligent in failing to "exercise a duty to use reasonable care to safeguard and protect the aircraft and the lives of its occupants." It further charged that the agents disregarded the pilot's warning against overt acts and "heedlessly, carelessly and recklessly created an unreasonably great risk of harm and magnified the danger of injury to the occupants of the airplane." tial saving to consumers of $20 million. "THE IMPACT is on 1973 models," Savage said. "If the improved bumpers show that losses are reduced by more than 10, even further savings will be passed on to the motorist." He explained that ISO sets rates for "our members and subscribers." "In the major number of states, we file in Uieir belralf," he said. But in "competitive rating" states like New York and California, he said, each company determines its own premium charges. "THERE MAY be companies who are affiliated with us, as well as those who are not, who won't no along with this," Savage said.

A spokesman for the New York State Department of Insurance was cautious in assessing the potential impact of the ISO recommendation. "Legally, all they can do is make an advisory rate," he said. "Not that many companies use the advisory rate." Savage said ISO would file the advisory rate with the department. Any actual rate changes proposed by auto insurers, including several major companies who are not ISO affiliates, would require departmental approval. NEW FEDERAL standards mandating bumpers that prevent damage to headlights, door latches, fuel and cooling systems, and other equipment are credited with reducing the cost of repairs.
