JEAN T. DINGER EXPERIENCED RECEIVER Jean T. Dinger. receiver for the International Exchange Bank, is 39 years old and was born in Wheeling, W. Va. He has been connected with the Treasury Department since 1930, the year he applied for a job in the insolvent national banks division, which comes under the jurisdiction of the Comptroller of the Currency. He was accepted almost immediately. Once D. J. Agent His bank background was received in the Department of Justice, where he was an agent from 1924 to 1930 in the division of investigation. In this capacity he examined books, mail frauds and bankruptcies. He has not cast a vote for either of the political machines, or for any other office seeker, since 1924. He denies any political affiliation and never participated in any political campaign. After attending high school for two years in his home town, Mr. Dinger came to Washington where he completed his preliminary education. He then took a course in accounting in Southeastern University here, graduating in 1922. Sent to New Jersey In 1931 he was sent to New Jersey to take over the receiverships of the Westmont National Bank and the Woodlynne National Bank.

The bank has since paid off about $132,096.
