Coastal Finance
Accused by SEC of
False Statements
By DONALD B. HADLEY
Financial Editor of The Star
While Washington bankers to
day sifted the scrambled affairs
of Coastal Finanoe Corp. to de
termine chances for recovering;
between (600.000 and (800,000
they lent the Silver Spring small
loan firm, the Securities and Ex-'
change Commission accused
Coastal of false and misleading;
statements.
Bankers seemed to feel that
prospects were bright for com
plete repayment of (1.635,000
which the firm borrowed from
them and banks in New York,
Philadelphia and other cities,
but were said to be concerned
about filing of a petition for in
voluntary receivership in Balti
more Federal Court by two
Washington minority stockhold
ers yesterday.
Wants Rights Protected
It is understood the bankers
want to be sure their rights are
protected if the receivership goes
through and they say privately
they think it will. One of the
leaders at the conference at
Riggs National Bank this morn-!
ing said receivership actually
was the only way that company
affairs could be unraveled in
his opinion.
’Washington area banks taking
part in the discussions included:;
Riggs National. Suburban Trust
Co., National Savings & Trust
Co., the Bank of Commerce.
Munsey Trust and Clarendon
Trust. The banks participated
In a rotating <yedit arrangement
which originally totaled $2,645,-
000.
The SEC’s charges outlined
in an order suspending the firm's
Regulation A exemption for a
stock offering last August will
be aired February 28 at a com-;
mission hearing to determine
whether the suspension shall be
come permanent. If the SEC's
avidence stands up, the per
manent suspension might be of
little moment, but the evidence
would become available immedi
ately for yse in court action by l
stockholders or creditors. i
Charges Listed
The charges center on state- (
ments made in a company pros- ,
pectus offering 5,669 shares of
class A common stock to present
holders for (28.50 a share on the j
basis of one new share for each .
six shares held last Agust 5.

300 From Arlington Jam
Hearing on School Bill
Foes and Backers of Moncure Repeal
Testify Before Virginia Assembly
By ALEX R. PRESTON
Star Staff Correspondent
RICHMOND, Feb. 9—A member of the Arlington School
Board told the Virginia legislature today that his group "mis
understood what the State had in its mind” when the board
moved toward integrating county schools.
James G. Stockard, the board member, made the statement
before a joint House and Senate Committee hearing on the bill
by Delegate Frank P. Moncure
of Stafford to abolish Arling
ton’s elected school board.
More than 300 supporters and
opponents of the Moncure bill
crowded into the House of Dele
gates chamber to witness the
proceedings. Most of the 140
members of the legislature also
attended.
Chairman Roy B. Davis of the
House Privileges and Elections :
Committee said after the hear
ing that it will be next week, at;
[the earliest, before action is
taken on the Moncure bill, i
Comes to the Point
Mr. Stockard was quick to get
to the crux of the issue that ap
parently prompted Mr. Mon-,
cure to move to abolish the!
elected school board in Arling
ton. He had this to say about
the board’s announcement of
January 13 that it intends to
Integrate some county schools,
providing State law allows:
"It Is clear that we in Arling
ton have misunderstood what
the State had in its mind and;
that the State may have mis
understood what we have done.
... we also feel sure that any[
action which would develop fur-:
ther misunderstanding would
not be in the best interest of
Virginia as a whole.”
Chief criticism of the school
board’s integration policy an
nouncement centers on the claim
that it violates a fundamental;
principle of the Gray Cornmis-;
sion program which advocates
say was designed to avoid forced
mixing of the races in class-;
rooms. Under the Gray planj
the initiative to integrate would ■
be left to parents but some have
interpreted the Arlington action
as the school board taking the
| Initiative. j 1
Complies With Plan

Major Mexican Quake
Jolts Los Angeles Area
EL CENTRO, Calif., Feb. 9 </P)
—A powerful earthquake cen
tered south of the border in
Mexico rocked Southern Cali

Igeles today, causing widespread
[but minor damage in two coun
! ties.
[ Water mains burst, windows
and plaster cracked, small fires
started and buildings swayed in
the border counties of San Diego
[and Imperial.
Seismologists gave the quake’s
magnitude as 6.8 on a scale
which rates the largest ever re
corded at 8.6 This compares
with 7.6 for a shock which killed
14 persons In Tehachapi, Calif,
in 1952, and 6.3 for the 1933
Long Beach shock, which killed
[many more.

Being Sought
For Congress
Steps have been taken looking
toward establishing a center
away from Washington to which
Congress can repair in case of
’imminent attack on the Capital.'
. The Supreme Court likewise
! has such a project under con
[ sideration.
Speaker Rayburn confirmed j
today that a report on possible
.relocation centers for Congress
has been received from the Of
fice of Defense Mobilization. But
he said nothing has been done
[about it as yet.
Relocation centers have al
ready been established for ex
ecutive agencies which must op
erate to maintain the continuity
of the Government. A place
1; distant from Washington has
also been set up to which the
President can go. But Congress
.up to now has taken no part in
[such planning.
I [ Mr. Rayburn said the report
’ of the ODM has been received by
a congressional committee con-
I sidering the project. It was
■ learned the committee consists
i‘of the leadership of Congress:
lithe Speaker and the Minority
[Leader of the House and the
: Majority leaders of the Senate.
Lt Gen. Willard S. Paul, as
[sistai.t to the director of the
[ODM, said several sites had been,
[suggested to Congress at the re-:
[quest of the legislative body. [
He also said Chief Justice;
Warren had called on ODM for;
[a similar survey for a relocation
site for the Supreme Court. ;
Harold B. Willey, clerk of the
[court, said several places had'
[been suggested. He said the court
!has the project under consider
ation but that no action has been
! taken.
i said. “We go hit a little hard.
■ Downtown store windows were
i broken and there were many re
• ports of merchandise strewn
about and bottle goods broken.
[[There was no major damage.”
j In Holtville, also in the Im
[perial Valley, Policeman Bill
Herring termed it “really heavy,”
i He said (here was a minor fire
and a water main broken.
< Mexicali, Mexico, just across
the border from Calexico, was
i Jolted, too, but there were no
: immediate reports of major
damage.
i If the quake«centered south of
i Mexicali it would be in sparsely
settled Mexican country, with
: only occasional small farming
I communities.
Dr. Charles Richter of Cali
fornia Institute of Technology
i estimated the distance of the
quake center at 240 miles south
east of Pasadena. The seismo
graph recorded the first wave of

AFL-CIO Plans
Senate Fights
To Concentrate Fire
On 11 Key Seats
By JAMES Y. NEWTON
Star Staff Correspondent
MIAMI BEACH, Feb. 9.—AFL
CIO political leaders decided
tentatively today to concentrate
efforts in this year's election
campaign on 11 key Senate seats
and to work for defeat of eight
incumbents, all of whom are Re
publicans.
Among those marked for the
hardest labor opposition was
Senator Goldwater, Republican
of Arizona, frequent critic of
union participation in political
affairs.
The leaders of the AFL-CIO
Committee on Political Educa
tion also discussed a 1956 budget
of from (2 million to $2.5 million
for political education and di
jrect contributions to various
campaigns, including that for
the Presidency. Some labor offi
cials expressed the hope the
budget could be set as high as
;$3 million.
Other G. O. P. Targets
The discussions here were
tentative and largely Informal.
COPE leaders decided to leave
specific candidate indorsement
recommendations and financing
matters to a small committee to
be appointed by AFL-CIO Presi
dent George Meany. The whole
political committee will act fin
ally on those recommendations
at Its next meeting, probably
around May 1.
In addition to Senator Gold
water, the sentiment at the
COPE meeting was to work for
the defeat of Senators Duff of
Pennsylvania, Capehart of In
diana, Thye of Minnesota, Welk
er of Idaho, Wiley of Wisconsin,
Mlllikin of Colorado and Butler
of Maryland. In most cases, the
labor leaders believe they will be
successful.
The AFL-CIO will work for the
re-election of Senator Morse,
Democrat of Oregon, and will
keep hands off the Ohio sena
torial contest which shapes up
jas a race between Senator
Bender, Republican, and Gov.
Frank Lausche, Democrat, neither
'of whom Is regarded as a friend

Pakistan Planning
Soviet Trade Pact
KARACHI, Pakistan, Feb. 9
UP). —Pakistan announced today
an agreement to negotiate a
trade agreement with Soviet
Russia.
| The decision was announced
after seven years of persistent
Soviet attempts to woo Pakistan
into full trade relations with the
'Kremlin. Until now Russia had
[only succeeded in arranging a
1953 barter agreement under
which Pakistan swapped raw
[jute for Soviet wheat.
There was no indication, how
ever, that Pakistan would con
sider abandoning her role in the
Western-supported Baghdad Pact
or the Southeast Asian Treaty
Organization, both targets of
Soviet opposition. v
In an interview with Pakis
tani newsmen in Moscow earlier
this week, Soviet Premier Bul
ganin said a Moscow-Karachl
trade pact "would have positive
significance." But he added
pointedly, "the Soviet Union
cannot be Indifferent to certain
military blocs such as SEATO
jor the Baghdad Pact.”

Navy Trying New Tack
To Win Elusive Recruit
By L. EDGAR PRINA
Choice of duty . . . assignment to a ship or base without
morale-busting days or weeks of waiting in a "receiving” station
... duty with buddies ... character and career guidance.
These are just some of the things a Navy recruit may expect
today as the seagoing service, no longer the stern “Dutch uncle”
of yore, pursues a solicitous, “big brother” approach toward the
young men it counts on to man
the ships and planes of the fleet
Although the Navy has been
convinced for some time that a
happy, well-adjusted individual
makes a better sailor, It has re
cently learned, through scientific
studies made by private research
groups, this important fact:
An American youth’s attitude
toward the military is condi
tioned more by what his friend
or relative in uniform thinks of
his particular service than by any
other single factor.
This has led the Navy to
undertake a program of internal;
public relations and to do more
th(.n it ever has to see that the
wants and wishes of its person
nel are sympathetically con
sidered.
Carries More Weight
When a recruit completes his
basic training today, he is not
only 11 pounds heavier (on the
average), he carries more weight l
with the personnel officer.
He is asked to state his choice
for specialized schooling or other
assignment. The matter is given

Br th< Associated Preaa
A return to no down-payment

small homes last November were
down 40 per cent from Novem

For the same period, it said,
Veterans' Administration home
appraisal requests were down 36

Sharp Decline Feared
"These are omens which can
not be passed over lightly, the
subcommittee said.
"Unless mortgage conditions
show an unexpected rapid im
provement, a sharp decline in

Whales Wary of Baring Their Hearts
To Dr. White's Coronary Explorers
Dr. Paul Dudley White, Presi
dent Eisenhower's heart consult
ant, radioed last night that he
has lost the first round in his
effort to wiretap a whale’s heart
beat.
Dr. White is leading a paity
off the Mexican Californian
coast. The expedition was or
ganized to record the heartbeat
of a California gray whale. The
findings are expected to shed
new light on the mysteries of
the human heart.
The scientists sent a small
boat after a large female whale
and her calf and the pother at-1
tacked the boat, staving in its
side.
The National Geographic So
ciety, sponsoring the trip, today
reported receiving the radio
gram from Dr. White saying he
is still optimistic.
Formidable Foe
“We have chased many whales,
some of them 50 feet long," Dr.;
White reported. “Our people are i
gaining a new respect for the!
California gray whale. They
have chosen four adjectives to
describe them: Elusive, sagaci
ous, formidable and wary."
One of the expedition’s small
boats put out on Tuesday from

and approached a large female
whale with her recently born
calf. Suddenly, the mother whale
turned and struck the boat.

| "All such attempts by Ameri

Dr. White hopes to learn more

hopes, to greater understanding
ol remaining areas of doubt
about human heart action.
For more than a quarter of a
century Dr. White and his col
leagues have successfully record
ed the heartbeats of different
sized mammals, from mice to
elephants. A mouse’s heart beats
300 or more times each minute;
that of the elephant, 30 or 40
times a minute. Off Alaska In
1952 Dr. White obtained an
