COUZENS TILTS WITH LAWYER IN BANKING PROBE ‘Real Inside Story of Detroit Crash Still Untold,’ Says Senator to Grand Jury. BY JAMES C. AUSTIN Tnitfd Pres* Staff Correspondent DETROIT. Aug. 17.—The real inside story of the Detroit banking collapse still remains untold Senator James Couzens charged from the witness stand today before the grand jury probing the banking failure. "The real, Inside story of the Detroit banks has not been told from the witness stand.” Couzens said "None of the witnesses have been examined critically. "I submit that if Wilson W. Mills (chairman of the board of the closed First National bank, who testified Tuesday and Wednesdavi tells all he knows the court will be advised of the real condition." The senator and Prosecutor Harry S. Toy engaged in a series of lively encounters with Couzens. insisting the questioning witnesses has been desultory. Prosecutor Flares Back Toy flared back, asking the senator if ’he knew of any witnesses who had not appeared or been subpenaed. who might shed light on this situation." “Plenty,” Couzens replied crisply. "And from time to time, in my testimony, I shall tell you of them." "When Mr. Mills was on the stand he didn't tell how many millions in the First National bank were in default to employes and directors.” Senator Couzens charged. “He didn't tell how many millions these same employes and directors had loaned to their friends. “These witnesses have testified only to those things that made them appear In a favorable light.” "That." countered Toy. “is ihe usual procedure for any witness.” Denies Aid Yiolating Law Couzens vehemently denied ever opposing aid to the Detroit banks "except inasmuch as such aid was in violation of the law.” “I am embarrassed,” he testified, ‘that I. a mere senator without a vote, could oppose the seven directors of the R. F. C. “Mr. Prosecutor, under oath. I say that never in my presence did a federal official express approval of the proposed loans.” The senator explained his statement supporting the loan of $90,000,COp to the Dawes bank of Chicago. “That money went for anew bank.' he said, “while the proposed loan to the Guardian bank was for an old bank in apparently bad shape.” G R ANT THREE PAROLES 24 Reformatory Cases Considered by Clemency Commission.
