...aircraft guns blazed at imaginary targets with blank shells while firemen sprayed make-believe fires and first-aid crews bandaged the sound arms and legs of placarded "wounded." The tests were intended to last five days, but sleep-loving Berliners found one night of alarums and excursions more than enough. Officials declared they were satisfied and called off the rest of the dress rehearsal...

In five years the corporation has had to pay out $21,000,000 to cover expenses and to make good average losses of 16% of the deposits of 252 insured banks that closed or were taken over. Meantime FDIC has taken in $167,400,000 ($124,200,000 of it from ½ of 1% assessments on bank deposits, $43,200,000 from its investments and profits). Result: FDIC...
