He received the first report from Joseph A. Zweeres, examiner, about the middle of August, 1929, he continued. He said he learned that some of the criticism it contained was based on conversations with minor officers. Believing that the senior officers of the bank, Marcus, president, and Singer, executive vice president, should in fairness be given an opportunity to point out what they considered errors on the part of the examiners, Broderick went on, he called them in and gave them copies. Some Basis for Criticism "I was new in the department," said Broderick, "and was learning about my examiners and wanted to find out the for their opinions.

I had to know this in order to what weight to give to their opinions. Before our conferences (with Marcus, Singer and other bank officials) began later at the Bar Association, I myself thought that there was some basis for the criticism of the Broderick explained that he referred to certain practices of the bank, notably its real estate policy, centralizing of management and relations between the bank and some of its affiliates.

I saw a bright future for that bank." Broderick said he considered the mergers with the Colonial and with the Municipal banks ill advised, but added: mind was working towards a plan to bring corrections in the bank's methods and policies in order that it might go along in a sound way." As to the report of August Ihlfeld, examiner, which stated that Marcus and Singer were engaged in "frantic efforts to unload," Broderick said he learned that Ihlfeld had not based the statement on first-hand information, but on something he had heard from another examiner.

There were two conferences at the Bar Association, Broderick said, one. on 14, 1929, and the other on Sept. 23, 1929.

He named as present at the first conference, Marcus, Singer, Isidor J. Kresel, the bank's counsel; C. Stanley Mitchell, chairman of the board, and Simon Kugel, a director. Broderick thus described the second conference: told them that too large 8 proportion of their assets was in the real estate field, and that they would have to change their policy if they expected the operation of the bank to be successful. I told them that they had too much money in commercial fields, and that I did not like the idea of a bank being in the investment business at the same time.

I told them that I agreed with my examiners with respect to the centralization of management and that there ought to be a change in that. Received Assurance "I received positive assurance individually from Messrs. Mitchell and Kugel that they would take a more active part in the operations of the bank. "I received assurances that their real estate policy would be checked immediately, and that loans to subsidiaries would be reduced. I received individually, from Messrs.

Marcus and Singer, the positive pledge that they would not dispose of any part of their individual ings which at that time, was more than 80,000 units Marcus and more than 40,000 for Singer."
