Inquiry into receiverships before House committee
Washington July 28 Federal District Judge Richard J Hopkins told the House Judiciary Committee he had handled the Federal Reserve Life Insurance receivership for about two months and scrutinized matters due to promoter and officer depredations. He cited duties of receiver W R Baker and questioned whether Baker should be receiver. The case was moved from Hopkins’ court after objections over delays. Hopkins wrote a frank letter to Senior Judge Lewis and denied press letters, while Phillips noted overhead and payroll concerns in related receiverships. The hearing continues after Judge Hopkins and others addressed removal of four Kansas receiverships from Hopkins' court.
