Carter was asked at his news conference Tuesday about the plans of Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, to hold the hearings. The President said he does not oppose them because they would be “part of our political process that ought to be encouraged.” Carter called Lance “one of the more competent and in telligent people” he has known. Despite the President’s en dorsement, the controversy over Lance’s dealings while head of two Georgia banks has prompted new interest into whether the government should more closely scrutinize banks. Both the House and Senate are to conduct hearings on the subject next month. Committees of both houses say they will look at such prac tices as borrowing by bank offi cers, correspondent relation ships between banks and bank officers and directors who are allowed to write overdrafts on their checking accounts. “We would be remiss if we did not explore these areas ... before considering substantive amendments to the banking codes,” said Rep. Fernand J. St. Germain, D-R.1., chairman of a House Banking subcom mittee studying how the gov ernment should oversee finan cial institutions.

(AP) Southern governors to meet to discuss regional matters GARTH JONES Associated Press Writer AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) - Gover nors of Southern states meeting Aug. 27-31 in San Antonio are being asked to approve “phased” deregulation of recently produced natural gas. Another proposed resolution likely to stir discussion at the 43rd annual meeting is one op posing any treaty that alters or removes the existing control over the Panama Canal. Seven policy statements and resolutions to be considered by the governors have been pre filed with the Southern Gover nors’ Conference. Conference action on the res olutions will come when the resolutions committee reports Tuesday, Aug. 30. The proposed energy policy statement was prefiled by Okla homa Gov. David L. Boren, chairman of the conference energy committee. A similar stand on deregula tion of natural gas was adopted recently at a meeting of Mid western governors. Texas Gov. Dolph Briscoe, Southern Gover nors’ Conference chairman, said at the time that he hoped the Southern governors would follow with a stand on “phased” deregulation. The policy statement sent to Southern governors for pre-con ference study includes the spe cific recommendation that “federal legislation should be enacted which would remove wellhead price controls on new natural gas. The legislation should also contain provisions designed to limit or eliminate windfall profits. The deregula tion should be phased into effect to mitigate its impact on con sumers.” The policy statement on ener gy also calls for “maximum ef forts” to develop all outer Con tinental Shelf areas including the Atlantic seaboard; for a maximum but reasonable time to replace natural gas with coal as a boiler fuel: for a study to see if the federal government should “oversee” renovation of railroad beds for long-haul coal transportation, at no cost to the taxpayer, and for federal sup port of both nuclear fission and fusion for future energy. The Panama Canal resolu tion, submitted by Louisiana Gov. Edwin E. Edwards said the proximity of the canal to the Southern states “makes its continued control and operation under terms of the existing treaty imperative.” Other policy statements and resolutions to be considered by the Southern governors include: —A statement submitted by North Carolina Gov. James B. Hunt Jr. urging the states and federal government to recog nize the needs of the nation’s smaller cities along with metro politan areas for a “national balanced growth policy.” —A statement proposed by Georgia Gov. George Busbee Friendly critters urging Congress to reserve for American businessmen all the advantages, “morally and eco nomically equitable,” in multi national markets competition. —A resolution by South Caro lina Gov.
