PROBE Of BANKS.
Criminal Proceedings to In
CIude Statewide Chains
in Michigan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A grand jury analysis of the Detroit
banking situation has been ordered by
Attorney General Cummings.
A short while before this was an
nounced, unsound practices and mis-
management were reported to the
Senate Banking and Stock Market
Investigating Committee as the causes
of the failure of Cleveland'S two big
banks-the Guardian Trust Co. and
Union Trust Co.
Cummings told reporters he had
designated Guy K. Bard, a special
Assistant Attorney General, to handle
the Detroit case.
He disclosed that the prolonged
governmental investigation had con-
sidered large number of transactions
which would be drawn together by
the grand jury. He described Bard
as man familiar with banking
methods, bookkeeping and banking
trials.
State Chains Involved.
The investigation upon which the
criminal proceedings will be brought
has included Statewide banking
chains controlled by the Guardian
