Bank Company Admits Giving
Airplane Rides to Rep. Flood
By Dan Church
Special to The Washington Star
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - First Valley
Corp. - parent company of First
Valley Bank - has admitted improp-
erly providing free rides on corpo-
rate aircraft to Rep. Daniel Flood, D-
Pa.
At the same time the company
admitted reimbursing unnamed bank
officers for $12,000 in political contri-
butions in the period 1971 to 1975.
Bank officials refused to say whether
any of the money went to Flood.
John R. Howell, president, yester-
day said at an annual stockholder
meeting "sensitive payments" had
been uncovered in an internal inves-
tigation begun in February.
THE INVESTGATION was started
in response to allegations that First
Valley had given Flood $40,000 to
$50,000 in bank stock to expedite a
1973 merger with State Bank of East-
ern Pennsylvania in Kingston, Pa.
The charges were made by a for-
mer Flood aide, Stephen Elko, to
federal prosecutors who are investi-
gating possible political payoffs to
Flood and other congressmen.

are encouraged to re-examine their

questionable transactions that had
not previously been made public.
Chiles Larsen, an SEC information
officer, said he was not aware that
the commission had set 1973 as a cut-
off date for questionable corporate
activities that must be reported.
The bank has about $500 million in
deposits, and is a major bank in
northeastern Pennsylvania.

reported, since he was brought to the

An aide to the congressman quoted
Flood as saying, "In view of ongoing
investigations I have no comment on
the matter at this time."
Frederick Banyard, senior vice
president for finance at First Valley,
who conducted the internal investiga-
tion, said the bank has not deter-
mined whether the SEC filing will
name the political candidates who re-
ceived contributions or list payments
made before 1973. "It is not required

what is to be gained by it," Banyard
said.

Conferees Urge 152 More Judges
On U. S. District and Appeals Courts
WASHINGTON, April 18 (AP)-House-
Senate conferees resolved their differ-
ences over how many new Federal judges
to create by voting today to approve all
but two of the new positions proposed
by either house.
The result will be to send to the two
houses for final approval a bill creating
152 new judicial posts-117 on district
Wyoming Judicial District, which the
committee chairman, Representative Jack
Brooks, Democrat of Texas, called. "the
worst judgeship created in the House,"
and one proposed on a temporary basis
by the Senate for the Southern District
of Florida.
A number of differences between the
House and Senate bills still remain to
be resolved, including a Senate-approved
proposal to split the Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit in two. Under thij
plan, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missis-
sippi and the Canal Zone would remain
in the Fifth Circuit. Louisiana and Texas
would be in a new 11th Circuit. The
House bill would leave the Fifth Circuit
as it is.
Largest New Group Ever
The 152 new positions would be the
biggest group of Federal judgeships ever
created by Congress at one time. None
have been created for the last 10 years.
The original Senate bill proposed only
75 new district judges, but when it
passed in May the nufnber had increased
to 113. The House bill started out at 81
and grew to 110.
There were 104 new district iudgeships
on which both Houses agreed. The Senate
put in nine that were not in the House
bill and the House approved six that were
not in the Senate version. Both houses
approved 35 new circuit judges.
Mr. Brooks, who said that he personally
favored eliminating all 15 of them, never-
theless proposed the compromise that
was agreed upon, arguing that it ap-
peared to be the only way to gain an i
agreement.
A Way to Save Talk
"In order to save a lot of talk and
discussion and then have it rejected by
the House, it might be wise to accept
the additions from the House and those
from the Senate and just everybody love
everybody and create judgeships)
abracadabra,"he t old the committee.
Eliminating the Wyoming judgeship
added by the House would leave the
Wyoming Judicial District as the only
one in the country with only one judge.
Conference committee members said the
state's two Republican Senators, Clifford
P. Hansen and Malcolm Wallop, opposed
authorizing the new judgeship.
The temporary judgeship for southern
Florida that was eliminated had been
added by the Senate on top of five addi-
tional permanent judges authorized by
both houses. Conferees said that the dis-
trict had one of the heaviest caseloads
in the country.

Basic Provisions of Treaties
WASFIINGTON, April 18-Following are the basic provisions of the two
treaties that provide for turning over control of the Panama Canal to Panama
by the year 2000 and for the permanent neutrality of the canal thereafter.
Panama Canal Treaty
THE CANAL: Panama will assume
"full responsibility for the manage-
ment, operation and maintenance of
the canal" on the termination of the
treaty at noon Dec. 31, 1999. Until then
the canal will be operated by a new
United States agency, the Panama
Canal Commission, whose board will
include five Americans and four Pana-
manians.
THE CANAL ZONE: Panama will as-
sume jurisdiction of the 533-square-
mile zone when the treaty comes into
force, but the zone will be integrated
into Panama over a 30-month transi-
tion period.
DEFENSE: The United States will
continue to have primary responsibility
for the defense of the canal until expi-
ration of the treaty in 1999, but will
establish with Panama a combined
board of officers for consultation and
cooperation on defense matters.
SEA LEVEL CANAL: Under the
treaty, the United States will agree to
negotiate only with Panama for con.
struction of a sea-level canal across
Centfal America, and Panama will
agree not to undertake such a project
with any country except the United
States.
RESERVATIONS: The Senate adopted
a measure yesterday allowing the Unit-
d States to use its forces unilaterally
if necessary. gut another reservation
specifies that any intervention would
be only to keep the canal open, not
to interfere in Panama's internal af-
fairs. Another measure adopted by the
Senate would nullify the mutually ex-
clusive commitment on a sea-level
canal,
Neutrality Treaty
DEFENSE: After the treaty comes
into effect on Dec. 31, 1999, the United
States and Panama will each have the
right to defend the canal against
threats to its neutrality or to the peace-
ful transit of ships.
TRANSIT: Panama pledges to keep
the canal open to "peaceful transit"
by shps of all nations, including war-
ships.
RESERVATIONS: A meal e.adopted
by the Senate last month in effect
gives the United States the right to
take "such steps as it deems neces-
sary," including the use of force to
reopen the canal or restore its opera
tions, should this become necessary.
Another measure adopted by the
Senate keeps the possibility of main-
tainning United States troops or
bases in Panama after 1999 if Pana-
ma and the United States decoided it
was necessary.
