DETROIT, Sept. 26.-<l'.R>—In formation and figures on the Detroit banking situation, being prepared tn Washington, "will ron-vict someone of crime,” Senator James Couzens declared tonight In addressing a meeting of depositors.
The senator, a witneis at Ihe recent grv«l Jury investigation of Detroit bank practices, declared that the organization of subsidiary banks was the “rottenest he ever heard of.”
Hitherto Hindered
Senator Couzens previously had charged that he was prevented from presenting “new evidence" he had obtained at the time of his second appearance before the one-man grand jury investigation pre sided over by Judge Harry B. Keidan.
Judg'- Keidan concluded the inquiry last week by announcing that, his court had no jurisdiction over the rational banks under investigation. He expressed the opinion tbit officials of the bands had been guilty of no acts of criminality.
Banks Now Closed
The investigation conc»rned the affairs of Detroit's two largest banks, now closed, which had several subsidiaries.
"These figures and information," Senator Couzens said tonight, "will disclose one of the most rotten organizations of subsidiaries and holding rompanieB that you have ever heard of.
“1 am going to demand that the receivers for the Guardian National Bank of Commerce and the First National bank disclose the present condition of their assets so that I can see what the depositors can hope for."

A dozen bass horns will give the band the needed power In the backfield and some 22 drummers will "pass” the rhythm.

“It 1* the duty of every musician on the campu* to try out tonight for the vacancies ln thi* year’* lineup.” Boudreau said laat night, I “so the band will continue to hold , It* unique spot ln the collegiate m*ic world.”
