Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June 81
the stalwart oarsmen of the Univer-
sity of Washington, the rowing ar
gonaCts of the far west are girded
for the greatest bid they have ever
made to sweep the intercollegiate
decks.
The prospect Of triumphant
western advance all along the line
stood out conspicuously tonight, the
eve of the 29Sth open champion
ship" regatta of the intercollegiate
Rowing Association, as a record ar
ray of 10 crews finished their drills
for the most spectacular college
naval battle ever held.
The west will be outnumbered,
with six boatloads lined up against
10 rival eastern combinations for the
consensus of expert opinion con-
cedes the invader at least an even
chance of coming through triumph
antly in all three contests late to-
morrow afternoon for varsity, jun
ior varsity and freshman supremacy.
Washington is the main hope of
the west, having been picked as a
slight favorite over the Naval Acad-
envy in the four mile varsity race,
the blue ribbon feature. and to carry
off first honors in the junior varsity
pull for second start.
One factor that stands out, so far
as the big event is concerned, is that
the battle for first place rests be-
tween Washington and the Navy.

Consequences to Fascist Re-
gime

Rome, June 27. - 0PO The
efforts Of Secretary General Turati
of the Fascist Party. personally
backed up by Premier Mussolini, to
drive out financial corruption and
raise the standards of the political
morality of the party, have borne
sensational fruit in the discovery of
a huge banking scandal involving a
score of persons high in the party
councils under the regime of Rogert
Farinacci, whom Turati succeeded
as Secretary General.
Twelve men, all prominent In po-
have been arrested in Parma, Flor
ence, Genoa, Piacenza and Cremona.
while warrants for the arrest of ten
others have been issued.
The far reaching significance Of
the scandal, which concerns primar-
lily the alleged corrupt handling of
the affairs of the recently defunct
Agricultural Bank of Parma, is in
dictated by the fact that one Of those
arrested is Giambattista Biaggi,
Swiss consul general at Geona. 9th
ers under arrest are Count Luigi
Luisignani, former president of the
bank, who the police assert. at
tempted to commit suicide when
taken into custody, Professor Allies
sandro Grophali, of the University
of Parma. and Professors Calyi and
Ghibellini.
Ugly rumors concerning the bank.
which had deposits of 100000, and
20 flourishing branches. originated
in the closing OF its doors on June
IS. after which Signor Turati began
an investigation. On the submission
OF his finding to Mussolini. the
premier ordered immediate action,
regardless of consequences.
The specific charges against the
men under arrest have not been
made public. but the immense po-
litical Importance of the case is
pointed out by the semi official
Popouo di Roma which says Parma
is overpoyed and placarded with
posters reading THE duce's word
will prevail" Gentlemen in Facism,
