Under special police guard, the four local banks will be opened today to permit withdrawals at a maximum rate of $20 per family. Student with- drawals will also be honored to $20. This limitation will remain in force until the end of the holiday, no daily duplications being allowed. Checks will not be cashed, except those drawn upon individual accounts by the depositors themselves and these kvill be subject also to the $20 limit. No disorder is anticipated at the opening, the police guard being main- tained only as a special precaution. Ann Arbor policemen will be pressed into extra service, one being stationed at each bank. Local officials of the Communist party said that there would be no demonstration of any mind as, far as they were concerned. It was said that they were "not in- terested, since they had no money in the banks." Local chain store managers re- ceived orders to cash personal checks only, with the exception of small pay checks amounting to no more than a few dollars. They were cau- tioned, however, to exercise special care in the cashing of checks. "The decision to open the banks was reached at a meeting of the Ann, Arbor Clearing House Association.

Comstock Lets Bankers Work Out Own Troubles LANSING, Feb. 15.-(A)-Governor Comstock today adhered to his deci- sion to permit the bankers in each community to work out their own problems "providing they stay within sensible bounds.'. He left tonight for Detroit to confer informally with fi- nanciers there. The governor was besieged with telephone and personal calls from city and village bankers. Some pro- tested that he should enforce his moratorium proclamation to prohibit the proposed agreement by Detroit bankers to allow 5 per cent with- drawals of deposits and to force all banks to remain tightly closed. Others suggested the moratorium be lifted altogether. The governor's reply in each case w as : "Ini townls where the banks feel they can and should permit small withdrawals for household necessi- ties or to meet pay rolls, I will not interfere. In others where it would be inadvisable they may remain' closed. The holiday proclamation gives them the protection they need so they may pursue either course."
