 Peter Olescavicz of A Orange street complained today to Chairman David L. Dunn of the police com mission that he had been assaulted shortly after midnight by five uniformed policemen, including Sergeant McAvay and Po- liceman O'Mara as he was leaving charland's garage on Main street.
 Olescavicz said that he had gone to Charland's garage to get his automo- bile. He was leaving, in company with two friends. Michael Matulko and was stopped by the policemen and searched for liquor. None was found. Olescavicz claims that the police told him he was drunk and should not be at the wheel. He invited them to get in and said they would all go to police headquarters to determine whether he was under the influence of liquor.
 He said he was dragged from be- hind the wheel and hit on the head with a blackjack and otherwise as- saulted. He was then taken to the police station and asked to be ex- amined by physician. Dr. Faulkner was called and declared that Oles- cayicz was not sufficiently under the influence of liquor to. interfere with his driving. He was released by Sergeant Matthias Rival.
 Chief Hart has not had complete report of the incident. but under stands that Olescavicz left the auto mobile, called O'Mara vile name, hit him and was hit in return.
 The matter has been referred to the discipline committee of the police for further investigation.

Statement Proves Quieting to Financial World Which
 Feared Radical Chance

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Efforts of the federal reserve board and tine governors of the F reserve banks, in conference here, to discover the sources of rumors concerning possi- ble increases in redisccunt rates by the reserve banks brought nothing tangible today. There was not sin gle reply to the boards telegram, sent to more than 100 inquirers yes terday asking where they learned of contemplated action by the board.
 The telegrams had the effect, how ever, of putting sudden stoppage to the flood of messages which the board was receiving, each of which sought information whether a redis- count rate increase would result from the conference.
 Reserve board officials reitera ted today that none of the 12 banks had made application for permission to raise their rediscount rates. The boards approval must be had before such rate changes are made, and it was stated that the subject of rates had entered only casually into the governors discussions.
 Attract Wide Attention.
 The conference which began Mon- day attracted wide interest in finan- cial circles beSause of reports of con- templated changes in the rediscount rates and shifts in policy either by the reserve board or by the banks themselves. There was no indication tonight, however. that anything of far-reaching importance would come out or the sessions which probably will conclude tomorrow.
 Vice Governor Platt, acting head of the reserve board. is expected back tomorrow after a trip to Coldwater, Mich. to attend the funeral of the late Milo D. Campbell, d board mem Der.
