OF the Roosevelt gold program, Jor-
dan said
THE particular form of monetary ac-
ton which the administration was
finally persuaded to adopt is not only
problematical in its effectiveness in
raising the domestic price level. but has
set IN motion powerful psychological
forces and international influences
which have so seriously disturbed public
confidence that the expected result
has been completely offset"
To avoid destructive inflation," Jor-
dan said the administration should
cease efforts to raise the price level
through depreciation of the exchange
value of the dollar, restore the gold
standard as of before January / and
resume gold payment In bullion bars

0NE-MAN JURY SAYS
TWO DETROIT BANKS
WERE IN GOOD SHAPE
Judge Harry B. Keidan Finds Nc
Evidence Of Crime on Part
Of Officers

Detroit, Sept. 19.-(P)-Efforts to
reorganize Detroit's two closed Ma
tional banks were being made Tuesday
following a grand jury report which
said the banks were solvent when
closed and no evidence had been
found Of criminality on the part OF
officers.
Judge Harry B. Keidan, who az
a ore-man grand jury conducted a
three-month investigation into the
causes for closing the two banks, un-
expectedly terminated his inquiry
Monday night and made public his
findings. He cited no specific reason
for the closing Of the city's principal
financial institutions, declaring his
belief they were solvent on the last
day they operated, and asserting there
was no evidence of criminality on the
part of their officers and directors.
He urged the federal government to
undertake to help the depositors Of
these closed institutions and the City
Of Detroit" adding that examinations
and recriminations are futile. Only
the actual aid of the government will
suffice to remedy the evil conditions
which exist"
That was the keynote Tuesday Of
renewed efforts by financial leaders
toward reorganization, or otherwise
winding up affairs Of the First Ma
tional Bank Detroit and the Guard
ian National Bank of Commerce in
such way as to bring maximum re-
turns to the 800, 1000 depositors. The
depositors thus far have received 40
per cent Of their accounts, with ap-
proximately 1912 ,OO0, 900 still tied up in
the closed institutions.
