Thus when the First State Bank of Aransas Pass (pop. 8,000) failed to open last week, the F.D.I.C. moved in with what by now has become a familiar operation to many Texans. The bank had speculated in land adjoining the site of a planned metallurgical plant, and lost heavily when the plant did not materialize.
