FDIC Nears Fourth Year With Push for Bank Standards
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp enters its fourth year promising an annual report to Congress stressing minimum operating standards for all insured banks. Based on broad surveys, the plan seeks uniform regulations to reduce insolvency hazards, serving as a bulwark for state systems rather than control by a federal institution. Since 1934, 166 insured banks went into receivership or merged with Corp loans, protecting 259000 depositors with about 64.5 million in insured claims.

Deposit Insurance Stressed by Chairman Crowley
Chairman Crowley argued that federal deposit insurance protected many depositors and shortened recovery after bank failures. He cited that 3,876 of 15,454 insured banks were covered, noted past closures from 1921 to 1933 wiped out 3 billion in deposits, and said the FDIC can reopen struggling banks and provide loans to aid rehabilitation, preventing broader harm to communities.
