An all-timé high of $55,663,138.
in deposits at five Orange
County banks today established
another record to eclipse a
previous mark of $52,386,829 set
June 30, 1964.
At the same time Oran
area bankers were predictl
an even more favorable next
quarter bolstered by rising in-
dustrial construction payrolls.
The record was set today in
the Wake of national and state
bank calls as of the close of
business on June 30. Orders
were issued separately by the
comptroller of the -currency,
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
and Federal Reserve system.
At the same time State Bank-
ing Commissioner J. M. Falk-
ner issued a call for the condi-
tion of all state banks as of
the close of business on the
same date.
A substantial i n c r e a s e of
$3,276,309 was cited today in
computation of the figures from
the five county state and na-
tional banks. All of the county's
banks showed increases, rang-
ing from substantial to slight.
Orange National Bank led all
others in the county from the
standpoint of d e p o s i t s and
showed a substantial increase
over that of a year ago. The
bank's June 90 deposita were

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Officials called today for
tougher penalties and firmness
in the wake of rioting and dis-
turbances by beer-drinking, car-
ousing youths in five resort
towns bver the Fourth of July
weekend.
Mayor Wilson W. Finley of
Geneva - on - the - Lake, Ohio,
where nearly 300 young people
were arrested, said he plans to
draft new ordinances with high-
er penalties for disorderly con-
duct and resisting arrest.
"What we need" said Finley,
"is more and more enforce-
ment. And we need higher fines.
We aré going to revamp ordi-
nances to cover situations like
this. We don',t want trouble ev-
ery holiday. We might just have
to out a name on the. town."
The rioting at Geneva-on-the-
Lake, on Lake Erie, and at Rus-
sells Point, Ohio, on Indian
Lake in western Ohio, where
some 100 persons were arrested,
prompted Sen. Frank J.
Lausche. D-Ohio, to issue the
following statement :
"Only encouragement will be
given future riots unless the
prosecutors, the sheriffs and
other law enforcement officials
are given support by the judges.
I do Hope that the pleas ad-
vanced
workers
dealt with
cumstances prevailing at these
two ruow'a wfll na* be given
attention."
The rioters were mainly teen-
agers and college students.

and Australian forces tódejrfor
their second combined operauBn
against the Viet Ciimg. Like the
first such operation, there was
no significant contact with the
enemy, a U.S. spokesman re-
ported.

two Americans and 26 Vietnam-
ese mountain troops were miss-
ing and four Vietnamese were
killed in mountainous Pleiku
Province, 215 miles northeast of
Saigon.
About 2,500 troops were in-
volved in the combined opera-

U.S. paratroopers from the
173rd Airborne Brigade, one bat-
talion of the Royal Australian
Regiment, and two Vietnamese

This year's toll brought a
stern warning from Howard
Pyle, president of the National
Safety Council.
"Never has driver improve-
ment been more badly needed,"
Pyle said. "The attitudes and
skills of too many drivers are
failing to meet tK> exacting de-
mands of billions of miles of
high pressure travel.-
"Every driver," Pyle said,
"should begin at once to sharp-
en old skills and develop new
ones through available driver
improvement programs."
