Bert S.Cross, a former chairman who is head of the finance committee, has with drawn from active management and will quit the board in May. Financial Vice President Irwin Hansen, who faces a possible prison sentence on federal tax-evasion charges, resigned last November.

That committee, headed by Washington's Julia Butler Hansen, watered down or scrapped most of Boiling's plans in its own 86-page proposal.
