Last week Leo Thomas Crowley had a good laugh on his fellow bankers. In solemn conclave at a meeting of the American Bankers Association in Chicago last summer they had resolved that in their "deliberate judgment" deposit in surance involved dangers both "genuine and serious." And ever since Jan. 1 when limited Federal deposit insurance became effective for $15,345,832,955 in 54,000,000 accounts, the bankers have been holding their breath waiting for the first crash. Up to this week not one of the 13,431 insured banks throughout the land had closed its doors...
