There wa no agreement with him otherwise and deposits, the banks attorneys say, made in the account were all made in due course and without any special agreement as to collection.

Also, the lawyers for the bank say, the defendant is a resident of New York State, is not subject to service of proces within the Middle District of Pennsylvania. In asking for the order to quash the summons, the bank asks the plaintiff to pay it $100 to cover costs, expenses and counsel fees in this matter wrongfully incurred. The motion is to be heard at 11 a. m. Tuesday, April 28, in Federal Court here.

A Scranton bank yesterday moved in Federal Court to quash or strike off service of a summons in a civil suit and asked the Court to have the plaintiff pay it $100 for its trouble. This unusual motion was filed by Attorney Cole B. and John H. Price, representing the Scranton National Bank, on whom summons was served in the civil suit of Odelia Petty, this City, against Leon Goldsleger, Seaford, N. Y.

1 The lawsuit concerns alleged rent overcharges in an apartment at 120 Mulberry Scranton. On Feb. Attorney Harry Kolb and Alfred Sowyer, representing Odelia Petty, filed suit in Federal- Court against Mr. Goldsleger, her landlord, charging he illegally charged her $35 a month rent from Nov. 1, 1946, to May 1, 1952, when the rent should have been only $25 per month.

The plaintiff, according to her claim, says she Itas wilfully overcharged $770 and with treble damages, is seeking $2,310 plus reasonable attorneys fees of $300. A jury trial was asked. The rents were deposited with the Scranton National Bank, in Mr. Goldslegers account, and Attorneys Kolb and Swoyer had the U. S.

Marshall serve summons on the bank, since it was a depositary for rents. Accordingly Deputy Marshal Leo Feigenbaum went to the bank and served notice on Cashier Kobert S. Long leaving two certified copies of summons and complaint and informing him that such action constituted service on the bank as agent of the defendant The banks counsel claimed this service was made against the objection of Cashier Long. Consequently, the bank returned the copies at once to the Marshals office by registered mail. Also, the bank claims that neither it nor its employes represents the defendant or has any authority to act for him in any manner.

The bank further claims it has no interest in the suit nor was it party to any agreement in regard to the subject matter in any way. The only relation- it has with the defendant, the motion to quash says, is as depositary of the ac Area Residents Due to Get Priority on Jobs at Depot The Tobyhanna Signal Corps past or who are now entitled to UCLC Executive Committee follows in full; The presence of indecent and unsuitable literature on the newsstands of the community, available to the public and to our children and young people, is an affront to decent citizens and should not be tolerated.

S. Qaims Gty Woman Owes Back Amount for Taxes Federal Judge Albert L. Watson has ruled that the Third National Bank Trust Co. must turn over sufficient money deposited there in the account of a Scranton woman who, the Government claims, owes back income taxes. The Government had sued the bank through U.

S. Attorney Ar thur A. Maguire, who unexpectedly quit his job- yesterday, to get $284.78 from Mary Noone, who has three accounts at the bank. The law firm of WeUes Mackie, this city, represented Mrs. Noone.

In the opinion received here yesterday. Judge Watson reviewed the case in which the Government claims Mrs. Noone was delinquent in the payment of $255.40 in income tax for 1945. The Government sent a demand notice Dec. 21, 1948, but she did not pay.

A warrant of distraint was issued Feb. 16, 1949, by the income tax collator in the amount of $306.99 including interest and lien fee. A notice of a tax lien was filed May 12, 1949. And the next day the Third National was notified, demanding that it turn over the amount from Mrs. Noones bank accounts.

As of May 13, 1949, the Government charged, she had one account with $151.45 in it, and in another with Thomas E. Noone they jointly held $2,293.49, and in a third Mrs. Noone had $10.66. On June 28, 1949, Mrs, Noone paid $12.53 of the delinquent tax, leaving a 'balance of $284.78. The bank refused to pay.

But the opinion and order re ceived yesterday from Judge Watson, who presently is specially presiding in Mississippi, directs that the plaintiff, the Government is entitled to judgment in the amount outstanding. Census Data On Housing Here Given The Federal Bureau of Census reported yesterday that in 1950 housing properties in Lackawanna County were being rented for $50 a month or less. In addition, the Bureau said, 53,632 of the 56,135 housing units were constructed in 1939 or earlier; in many cases, much earlier. The county list showed 22,425 homes to be owner-occupied. Of this number, 21,226 were constructed before 1940.

In Scranton proper, the Bureau added, there were 8,920 owner occupied houses and 19,925 rental units. In all the County, the Bureau found 580 owner occupied homes and 2,275 rental units to be dilapidated, some of them lacking even hot water and private baths.

FCC Holds Up Application of MCL Company Gty Corporation Must Clarify Plea In Proposed Merger By a four-two vote, the Federal Communications Commission has tentatively rejected the application of the MCL Telecasting Corp. for assignment of the television construction permit of Scranton Broadcasters operators of Radio Station WGBI.

The MCL corporation is composed of the Scranton Broadcasters, Elizabeth and Edward J. Lynett, publishers of The Scranton Times, and Meco Realty a subsidiary of Comerford Theaters, Inc. The FOC by its action has requested MCL corporation to clarify certain matters in question in the proposed merger. The corporation has been given between 15 and 30 days to do so. If at that time the maters in question have not been clarified sufficiently to meet FCC approval, then a hearing will be ordered, probably in Washington.

Under the merger proposal the Megargee interests, operators of Scranton Broadcasters, the Lynetts and the Meco firm would have 33 share in the corpora' tion. Whether or not FCC finally approves or disapproves of the application will have no effect on the operation of WGBI-TV which last Aug. 14 was granted permission to operate on Channel 22. It will be on the CBS TV network. The Lynetts and the Meco firm under the Electric City Telecasting Corp, previously had applied for Channel 16 Since they also were involved in the MOL corporation, the FCC asked which application it favored.

The Electric City firm withdrew and the Union Broadcasting operator of Radio Station WARM, which had applied also for Channel 16, was given the green light for that channel. Meanwhile, another channel 73 has been asigned to Scranton and Appalachian with Franklin Collins and Dahl Mack as top stockholders. WGBI-TV, according to Manager George Coleman, hopes to begin telecasting June 17 if equipment arrives in time. Funeral Rites Today For W. P.
