Is that driving the money changers from the temple?” Dr. Coughlin declared “he has adopted communistic measures.

The bank negotiations had long taken place. His excellency had his opportunity to make the connection, but chose not to accept the work. The bank went a ihead with its big extension in Raleigh and with its plans to serve that por tion of Eastern North Carolina which relies largely now on Norfolk and Richmond.
