Unquestionably, the Nixon pardon has crumbled the euphoria of Fords early days in office. But the fact that only one question was asked regarding that pardon in this week's press conference is in sharp contrast to his secor0 news conference which closely followed the pardot and which elicited sometimes hostile questioning on the issue. It should be evident that President Ford has successfully defused the scnsitive issue, at, least for now, with his promised appearance before a Congressional committee probing into bank the size of New York's Franklin National Bank goes bankrupt, as it did this week, a shudder runs through a nation that still dimly remembers the bank closures of the E, ilAtis, Although Franklin's collapse was biggest bank failure in American Itat doesn't mean other are looming elsewhere in the collapses it should be a yvarning But industry. some may be that ,ign in order for other banks treading a close line between profits and red ink.

But that's a far cry from the depression years when 3,643 banks closed their doors between 1930 and :932, provoking runs on the banks and subsequent hoarding of currency. That, in turn, contributed to business stagnation. The collapse of public confidence in banks leg to passage of federal legislation in 1934 insuring bank deposits up to $5,000. That figure was raised to '10,000 in 1950, and subsequently to the present $20,000 figure. in wake of the Franklin tremors, some depositors of more than $20,000 may be uneasy and may want to check with their banks.
