FULL ASSESSMENTS ON BANKS UPHELD U. S. Appellate Court Calls Authority of Controller Absolute. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-Authority of the controller of the currency to levy 100 per cent assessments on stock in closed national banks is absolute, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today. Only in case of obvious error, mistake or fraud will the courts interfere, it decreed in dismissing the appeal of three stockholders in New Jersey. They had been assessed 100 per cent on their holdings by the receivers of the Union City National Bank and the National Bank of North Hudson. The court's opinion added that it was not an adequate defense to plead that a bank is solvent and that the controller did not have sufficient facts to warrant closing it. Written by Judge Joseph Buffington, senior member of the court, the opinion upheld the ruling of Judge William Clark of the Federal District Court for New Jersey, that the defense was

"frivolous." Judge Clark had ordered judgments for the receivers. The appellants contended that the receivers should have given stockholders a chance to make up among themselves any deficiency which might occur in their banks' assets before levying the 100 per cent assessments. Under the ruling of the courts August Miller, holder of 873 shares of North Hudson bank stock, will have to pay its receiver $22,922 in assessment and interest; James McMahon, owner of 556 shares in the Union City bank. must pay $14,474 and John J.

Chinese Say Last Minute Hitch Has Developed; Tokyo Lists Terms.
TOKYO, May 26 -Conflicting reports emanate from the Far East concerning truce in the fighting on the North China The Japanese Foreign Office claims a preliminary truce has been orally reached, with formal armistice set for next Monday Reports from Peiping declare however. last-minute hitch has developed. At the time Chinese leaders in Shanghai in rethe truce was effective. The terms of the truce, the Japanese says, are that Chinese forces are to be kept southwest of a line cutting across the North China territory running within 15 miles of Peiping, while Japanese soldiers remain northeast the boundary Cessation of Chinese "provocations" also figure in the deal Meanwhile. unconfirmed rumors circulate in Tientsin that Japan has demanded evacuation of Peiping and Tientsin. recognition of Manchoukuo and payment for Japanese military expenses south of the Great Wall.
JAPANESE AGREEMENT WITH U. S. IS DOUBTFUL
By WILFRID FLEISHER Special EVENING TOKYO May 26 -Great interest is being manifested here in the conversations at Washington between President Roosevelt and Viscount Kikujiro Ishii. head of the Japanese economic mission, although there is little confidence in Japan that the conversations will lead to any substantial agreement. The Japanese have long feared Mr. Roosevelt may attempt to force upon Japan inacceptable conditions and they hope that Viiscount Ishii will resist American pressure and that he will gain sympathetic hearing for an exposition of Japanese policy It assumed here that President Roosevelt will refer to the Japanese military operations in North China and. if he does. Viscount Ishii will be able to give definite assurances not only that an armistice has been agreed upon and is about to be signed, but also that the Japanese troops may withdrawn shortly the Manchoukuo side of the Great Wall. agreement can be reached with the Chinese on certain political questions It foregone conclusion. according to the view held here, that President Roosevelt will discuss disarmament with Viscount Ishii in the light of the Roosevelt peace plan implemented by the speech Geneva by Norman H. Davis, American ambassador-at-large The consultative pact idea is not pleasing to Japan The idea of conference of nations to determine an aggressor savors too much of the League of Nations procedure in dealing with Japan which led to this country's withdrawal from the league while the Davis definition of an aggressor as the nation armed forces into the of another nation in violation of treaties is still less palatable to the Japanese.
