fcliiiyihiyiyir A24 FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1996 LOS ANGELES TIMES THRIFTS: Conversion to Bank Status pected to mount special marketing campaigns, offering certificates of deposit and other accounts at above-market interest rates. For current customers whose CDs mature, the would offer to pay a higher rate at the bank for renewing the CD than would be available at the thrift The cus-' tomer would merely have to sign a paper, opening a new account at the bank. Great Western still needs approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Federal Reserve Board for permission to run banks with full commercial and consumer lending powers, and to operate a holding company for the bank units. Its banks would not require new buildings but would operate in existing Great Western offices.

The comptroller approved the first application to switch earlier this month, giving TCF Financial Corp. of Minneapolis the right to open national banks in Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois. This signaled the "bursting of the dam" as rush to move their money away from exposure to the high-cost insurance fund, said Paul A. Schosberg, president of America's Community Bankers. "Congress has just not been able to keep up with reality," said Edward C.

Furash, managing partner of Furash a financial consulting firm in Washington. "The reality is the thrifts have to make major choices in the next two or three years about shifting to become major commercial banks, or contracting themselves," he said. OBITUARIESFUNERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS WIEST, Patricia A. passed away July 22, 1996 in a La Jul la hospital. "We've been trying to become more bank-like for a long time," James F.

Montgomery, chairman of Great Western, said Thursday. "It's too bad we have to do it this way, rather than the right way" through a merger of the insurance funds and the charters for the separate financial institutions, he said. "Eventually, there will be a single banking industry in this country." The which traditionally specialize in home mortgage lending, also have charter authority to sell insurance, invest in real estate and operate in other business ventures. Banks have powers concentrated in consumer and business lending. "We hope this will be a wake-up call to Congress," said Montgomery, who is also chairman of America's Community Bankers, an trade group.

Nearly $100 billion of the industry's $700 billion in deposits is held by institutions that have applied to the comptroller for permission to operate banks. Only customers, rather than management, can shift deposits to the new banks. Thus, seeking to move money are ex BAIME, William age 68, passed away June 30, 1996 in Arizona.

The House Banking Committee voted Thursday for a complex plan that would provide an infusion of cash from the thrift industry for the ailing fund, require banks to make contributions and eventually create a single insurance fund for all banks and thrifts. But it is uncertain whether House Republican leaders can work out a version with their Senate counterparts that would pass Congress before the legislators adjourn for the election campaigns. Meanwhile, the approval of bank charters for a huge such as Great Western, with Irwindale-based Home Savings of America and Los Angeles-based California Federal Bank waiting in the wings, dramatically illustrates how the leakage of thrift deposits could become a flood. Cal Fed, the nation's lOth-larg-est thrift, has an application pending with the office of the comptroller of the currency to open a national bank in Los Angeles. Home Savings, the largest thrift, has applied for a state charter in Washington.

The comptroller regulates national banks. Continued from Al trast, pay 23 cents for every $100 in deposits. This means Great Western pays $70 million a year for the same deposit insurance that costs Bank of America $2,000. Premiums for the insurance fund are far higher because the fund must still foot the bill for continuing costs of the massive thrift bailouts of the 1980s. The ultimate danger of an exodus of is a crippling of the insurance fund, and the inability of the remaining to pay interest on special bonds issued for the cleanup.

This could lead to another costly taxpayer bailout. As more thrift deposits become bank deposits, there will be a shrinking of the thrift industry's ability to pay the federal insurance bill, which includes $793 million in interest payments for those special bonds. The exposure for taxpayers could be more than $27 billion the interest costs of the special bonds for the next 30 years as well as the expense of any individual thrift failures. Such a prospect is expected to prompt Congress to force banks to Marsha Wiedder; I brothers, Joseph and Abraham Baime; and 4 grandchildren, and 1 great grandson.

She was 85.

Muir died Tuesday in a nursing home in Mesa, Ariz. The blond actress was scheduled to play the mother in "The Aldrich Family" television series in 1950 when she suddenly was fired by NBC and General Foods the program's sponsor. The dismissal occurred after her name, along with those of about 150 other show business people, was listed in a 1950 booklet called "Red Channels: the Report on Communist Influence in Radio and Television." Muir vehemently denied the accusation, telling news media: "I am not a Communist, have never been one and believe that the Communists represent a vicious and destructive force, and I am opposed to them." But General Foods refused to relent, saying she had become too controversial to appear on their family show. The accusations of Communism in her case were apparently prompted by printed reports that she had been a member of the be accepted for the Lord's Light great grandmother of Jodi, Jeffrey and Andrew Greenspan and Paul and Teddy Kalb.

Eisenberg, who was dismissed as a Los Angeles high school teacher in 1953 for refusing to answer questions about membership in the Communist Party, has died. She was 91. Eisenberg, who tutored privately after she was fired, died Tuesday in her West Hollywood home of complications after surgery.

Even though Eisenberg and many other teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District signed loyalty oaths, they were summarily dismissed for refusing to answer questions about Communism posed by the Board of Education. The firings then were legal under the state's Dilworth Act. But Eisenberg and five others were vindicated in 1981 by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge who said they should have been reinstated in 1968 the year the Board of Education repealed its regulation for implementing the Dilworth Act. The judge also ordered the school district to give the teachers some back pay.
