Testimony triggers resignation at National City Bank chain
Senate banking committee heard from Charles J. Mitchell of National City Bank of New York. The fallout followed criticism of financial acts at the bank and its National City Company. Michigan bank troubles sparked a nationwide wave of bank fears and early withdrawal limits. Governors declared bank holidays in several states and Michigan rushed legislative remedies. Henry Lord and son Edsel proposed an $8.25 million private rescue for Detroit banks, creating Peoples National and Manufacturers’ National to absorb deposits, with hope for a $20 million New York loan and $51 million RFC support, but delays and changes followed.
