White House Order 'Not to
Rock the Boat' Blocked
Closing Michigan Chain
Is Allegation at Quiz
By NATHAN ROBERTSON
-' Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. (AP) A
White House command "not to rock
the boat" waa described to senate
investigators today aa the cause of
the government', failure to. act dur
ing the Hoover administration on ex
aminers' reports of bad banking con
ditions. .
Alfred P. Leyburn. chief national
bank examiner, testified before the
senate banking committee that the
comptroller of the currency did not
act on his reports of bad conditions
In the Guardian banka of Michigan
"because he was told by the higher
command not to do anything to rock
the boat and not to have any more
bank failures."
He explained later .he meant the
secretary of the treasury and the
White House by the expression "high
er command."
Ford On Stand
Earlier, Edsel Ford had testified
to hi. father's refussl to extend fur
ther aid to the Guardian banks In
the frantic houra before the Michigan
bank holiday last February.
He confirmed evidence presented to
tihe committee that Ford not only
refused to give additional aid to the
Guardian bank, but threatened to
withdraw S35.O0O.OO0 of deposits In
the rival Detroit bankera' group If
the Guardian banka were closed.
The Ford group already had poured
million. Into the bank., Ford said,
adding they decided "we wouldn't go
any farther."
Leyburn testified the government
had done all lt could to save the
Detroit banks and that criticism of
the governments part In the situa
tion cams "from Vie politicians up
there who want to make pawns of
the depositors."
Government Aided
"The R. F. C. has been accused of
being the big bad wolf that came
up to Michigan that February morn
ing and closed the banks." he ssld.
"The fact la the government gave
every bit of help It possibly could.
Most of that talk comes from the
politicians up there who want to
make pawna of the depositors. I'm
not referring to present company.
Senator Coueens."
The chief examiner laid the Michi
gan crash to "bBd management." to
the serious conditions In the Union
OuardlBn Trust company and the
American State bank.
"And when you Bay bad manage
ment you've eald a mouthful," he
added.
Policy Unwarranted
He said the dividend policy waa
"absolutely unwarranted both from
a legal and business standpoint."
Asked for hla opinion about group
banking, he aald .he "presumed" It
could be successful but that the
Michigan group'a operation was "vi
cious." Ferdinand Pecora, banking commit
tee counsel, mentioned discussions
about reopening the Union Ouardlan
Trust company, and the examiner
said :
vwhy It would have taken Houdlnl
to open that bank."
"But he's dead," Pecora observed.
"So'b that bank," Leyburn re
torted. SHIPPED TO DATE

Edsel Ford said in an Interview today
that business conditions "look very,
very good" and that the Ford Motor
company expects a "7ft per cent pick

"I don't want to make any predic

magnate said, but 1034 business, so
far as automobiles are concerned,
looka so much better we are all very
happy about lt." "
He added ihat he baaed his opti
mism for 1034 partly on the fact that
the January schedule for tho Ford
company la bigger than for any month
In 1933. He pointed out that Janu

Asked how the NRA would affect

"So far aa wages are concerned, the
NRA is bound to be a stimulant.
"The automobile Industry la on ft

"It la bound to help employment.
