California magnate delays S and L stock sale on watchdog post
A Senate Banking Committee postponed its vote on J Ralph Stone's nomination to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board because he refuses to sell $2.5 million in Great Western Savings and Loan stock. Proxmire warned of a conflict of interest, noting Stone could face tax gains and abstain from key board decisions. Stone argued selling would trigger over $1 million in taxes, while Proxmire urged Ford to consider withdrawal if stock ownership hampers duties. The panel may approve narrowly, with a pledged public campaign if the stock remains.
