would not favor its processing subSidia-

opening of the closed institutions.
Groesbeck, from the witness stand
said he would head community
movement to reopen the banks, the
First National Bank, Detroit. and the
Guardian National Bank of Commerce
and announced a plan OF action. The
plan, he said. has as Its principal fea-
ture the organization OF depositors to
work with Senator CouZenS. Senator
Arthur H. Vandenberg and the Michi-
gan delegation in the House.
GroeSbeck agreed to get the de-
positors together at the request OF
Judge Harry B. Keidan, sitting as the
one-man grand jury.
Senator Couzens, it was announced
would return to the stand at pm. to-
day Three weeks ago he came before
the jury to denounce local banking
practices. and to charge local bank
officials with ubiquitous action" which
he said. led to the Michigan bank holi-
day last February IA and the closing
Of the two banks. now under Federal
receivership. Numerous former bank
officers have denied Couzens' charges
in subsequent testimony.
Calls Situation Muddled.
Groesbeck in his testimony today
read lengthy statement concerning
his study of the banking problems OF
Michigan, declaring that the banking
problem has been muddled and re-
muddled and that public officials and

said. forced the closing Of the two
banks.
