Regents visit station
Bert Lance
(Continued from page 1)
John Heinmann has asked for a full
report on everything the office has had
to do with Lance in the past two years.
Lance has acknowledged being
questioned by comptroller’s assistants
about a secret memorandum prepared
by the Manufacturers Hanover Trust
Co. of New York that linked a $2.6
million personal loan to Lance to the
decision by the National Bank of
Georgia to establish a correspondent
relationship with the New York bank.
Lance has denied any such
arrangement. The memorandum had
suggested the Georgia bank agree to
of the Regents; H. W. Garren, University of Georgia dean
of College of Agriculture; O. T. Ivey, member of the Board
of Regents; Dr. O. E. Anderson, head of the Agronomy
Department at the station; and D. H. Tisinger of the
Regents. Rep. John Mos tiler of Griffin was on the tour too.
Jerry Walker, head of the Plant Pathology Department at
the station here, is standing behind Goglia.
maintain a deposit equal to 20 per cent
of the loan.
In correspondent relationships,
banks seek to circumvent laws barring
them from establishing branches.
Many states have laws that still
prohibit branch banking.
Lance also has denied any connection
between a $3.4 million personal loan he
was granted by the First National Bank
of Chicago and a corresponding bank
account his Georgia bank opened with
the Chicago institution.
It can be illegal for an official to use
bank funds as a “compensating
balance” for a personal loan.

Golden Age letter gave
wrong address in Griffin
Ever since the Department of Human Resources mailed
a letter to senior citizens about fuel, many of them have
been going to the Salvation Army as directed.
This is the wrong address, a spokesman for the
Salvation Army reported.
The Golden Age Club used to meet there on weekdays
for meals and fellowship but not any longer.
It’s address now is 1020 Boyd row.
People who got the DHR letters were directed to go to
the Salvation Army. This is not correct.
They need to go to the present Golden Age address on
Boyd row.
