FORD PLANS NEW
BANK IN DETROIT
New Payments to Depositors
in Two Closed Institutions
Also F0reSeen.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, July 14.-Organization of
new national bank. backed by the
Ford millions, the possible formation
of another, and additional payments to
100000 depositors of the two closed
banks today were foreseen following the
Governments decision to send SIS ,000,-
600 more into Detroit.
Immediate results anticipated were
two-fold. First, the formation Of new
bank by Edsel Ford and associates with
an initial capital of S5,250,000 to tax
over group of suburban banks. and
ultimately, it was believed. to take over
assets Of the old Guardian National
Bank CT Commerce. and second the
early release of 20 per cent to depcsitorS
in the Guardian National. and of Is
per cent to First National Bank-Detroit
depositors. Distribution of 40 per cent
of depositors' funds already has been
made by both institutions.
The ultimate fate Of the First Ma
tional Bank today was prCblematical.
but well Informed circles here believed
that efforts already are under way for
reorganization of that bank, and that
the Ford group might also be active in
the formation of this second new bank.
Announcement of the availability of
the new s75,000,00o loan came yester-
day in Washington from Jesse H. Jones,
chairman of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation Board. Il stated
that from s2o,0oo,000 to s25,000,00o
would be made available to the
Guardian National Bank. and that $50
100000 would be forthcoming for the
First National as soon as litigation ncW
pending ever the priority of savings de-
posits is settled.
The new loans to the banks were
made available on the basis of a sec
ond recently completed APPRAISAL of
collateral and securities of the two
banks
Jones statement points out that sit
is clearly evident after a careful ex-
animation that neither OF these
banks can be reopened or reorganized
to pay depositors 100 per cent" Thus
Jones contradicts the testimony Of
numerous banking officials here during
the current grand jury investigation,
who have said on the witness stand
that the banks, with moderate as
sistance frcm the Government, could
reopen and pay depositu,s 100 per cent.
The new bank contemplated by Ford
and associates would be known as the
Manufacturers National Bank. Its
initial capital would be S3,G0o.CG0, with
a surplus of s1,50O,000 and undivided
profits of S750,00o.
Organizers of the Ford bank named
in its petition for a charter Tuesday
were Ford, Wesson Seyburn, John Bal
lantyne, Frederick M. Alger and Cliff
ford B. Longley.

Safe Driving Hint
Know Your Traffic
Laws

Ignorance is sometimes bliss,
but not when it comes to State
traffic laws and local ordinances.
Ignorance of the law excuses no
driver, either legally or morally,
for a violation which results in
an automobile smashup.
1t is every drivers duty to know
and to obey all city and State
traffic laws. Moreover, such
knowledge IS just about as es-
sential to your safety as the
actual mechanics of driving.
Certain temporary conditions
often call for special traffic regu-
lations, and these should also be
observed rigidly.
If you plan a trip through
neighboring, States, where the
laws may be slightly different
from those in your own, famil-
iarize yourself with the regu-
lations at your very first oppor-
tunity.
