CANTLEY QUITS AS STATE FINANCE COMMISSIONER TO BE RECEIVER FOR ST. LOUIS JOINT STOCK LAND BANK (By The Associated Press) St. Louis, Mo., June 2.-S. L. Cantley, retiring as state finance commissioner of Missouri, today took over the St. Louis Joint Stock land bank, as receiver for the federal farm board, which announced from Washington last night that the bank had been forced to suspend operations because it could not pay interest due on its outstanding bonds, totaling $18,134,500. Cantley accepted the receivership appointment in advance of his resignation as finance commissioner. He said he would present his resignation to Gov. Caulfield today or tomorrow. Jefferson City, Mo., June 2.-S. L. Cantley, jr., state finance commissioner for Missouri, confirmed the announcement from Washington that he had been appointed receiver for the St. Louis joint stock land bank and had resigned as finance commissioner. Cantley, formerly a banker at Owensville, has been with the state finance department for seven years, the last five as commissioner. He was appointed commissioner during the Baker administration and retained by Governor Caulfield. His administration of the finance department has been regarded in official and banking circles as highly economical and efficient. Governor Caulfield is known to have been pleased with Cantley's work. Cantley several times has sought to resign to return to private life, but each time the governor prevailed upon him to remain in office. Cantley has attracted much attention, not only in Missouri but in other states, by his policy of consoltdating small banks wherever practical. This policy, bankers believe, has prevented many bank failures in Missouri. While Missouri has had numerous bank failures during the depression, the number of banks to close has been relatively small when compared to failures in other states. Governor Caulfield is expected to formally announce Cantley's resignation today. Whether, however, he will be ready to name his successor is not known. Until a successor is named, D. R. Harrison, deputy finance commissioner, will be in charge of the department.

CANTLEY TAKES OVER ST. LOUIS LAND BANK Former State Finance Commissioner Assumes New Duties Thursday. St. Louis, Mo., June 2.-S. L. Cantley, retiring as state finance commissioner of Missouri, today took over the St. Louis Joint Stock Land Bank, receiver for the Federal Farm Loan Board, which announced from Washington last night that the bank had been forced to suspend operations because it could not pay interest due on its outstanding bonds, totaling $18,134,500. Cantley accepted the receivership appointment in advance of his resignation as finance commissioner. He said he would present his resignation to Governor Caulfield today or tomorrow. Failure to collect payments on loans made to farmers of eastern Missouri, southern Illinois, northern Arkansas and western Kentucky, comprising its territory, caused the bank to be placed in receviership. A bondholders' protective committee was organized in April in the hope of reorganizing the institution, but this plan failed when only 30 per cent of the outstanding bonds were deposited with the committee. The exact amount of interest due on the bonds could not be determined, as some of the bond coupons mature each month. When word of the receivership was received from Washington, officers of the bank declined to comment, other than that they would "leave the matter asmit is."
