Foreign Section At Bankers' Meeting Urged
At the 47th annual American Bankers Association convention to open November 21 in New Orleans, bankers expect a foreign banking section focusing on bills of lading and bond securities. A controversy over fraudulent cotton bills of lading could have been avoided with such a section, officials say. A letter from Clyde, Texas, warns that a claimed $100 reward per set of twins was a fake. Governor O. B. Colquitt confirms the fraud alert.
