NAUCY, HARDING :.
 RESUME TONIGHT

High school basketball fans in Naugatuck, Bridgeport, Waterbury and Ansonia will have something to ctheir interest to look over today and tonight. Because of the unforward manner in which Naugy's last game with Warren Harding of Bridgeport ended, there is every indication that the teams will play their return game to a full house this evening in the Naugatuck "Y" gym. Coach Pete Foley forfeited the last game when he called his team off the floor following fist fight but will be more than ready to let his boys demonstrate their basketball ability tonight.
 Crosby. Central
 Crosby had date in Bridgeport this afternoon with Eddie Reilly's Central High stalwarts as the oppo- sition. In their last meeting 8 few weeks ago in this city, Central walked off with a 2S to 15 win over the Blue and Whites. Which should predict a most interesting game to- day.

HARRINGTON BOYS OPPOSE HARTFORD

Hartford, Feb 4.-Heinie Caring ton. one of the cleverest basketball players Connecticut basketball has every produced, will bring almost his whole family into the Knights off Columbus gym tonight for the purpose of basketball game with the Hartford Kaceys.
 These Darlington boys-every one of them a basketball player-come up from Waterbury, a city that has probably sent forth more good bas- ketball men than any other in the state.
 Heinie Darlington, foxy, clever, aggressive, arrogant-an artful court performer in every respect has taught his brothers the game, so they should be well taught. Henry himself is a teacher by inclination
 and profession. He coached the Yale freshmen basketball squad from 1925 to 1929. ,,.-s
 The All Darlington Brothers, probably much against their collec- tive wills, had to call upon a rank outsider to complete their team. They had the good sense, however to bring in a capable man. He is with crackerjack shooting eye. Mandy Green, coach of the Thomas ton High squad, a big husky center Greene learned his basketball at Harvard.
 The Kaceys were laughed out of any serious consideration for city honors when they made their hum ble seasons start. But Manager Ray Wetstine secured Wardy Waterman and Dutch" Leonard and the Ka- ceys were made. They quickly si- fenced the scoffers by drubbing the K. of l.. and followed this with an

The Stamford co!ore'i boy already holds one yer di"t over Kid Chocolates chief sparring partner and Aragon is anx- -ious to square accounts.

FEDERAL RESERVE
POLICIES FLAYED
Chicago Banker Also Tells
Senators Industrial Leaders
Ignored Danger Signals.
BY the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press
Policies of the Federal Reserve Board
and industrial leaders during the spec
ulative period from 1927 to 1929 were
criticised before Senate Committee
today by Melvin A. Traylor, Chicago
banker
Traylor. who has been mentioned as
possible Democratic presidential
nominee In 1882, told a Senate Manu-
facturers Subcommittee the interest
policy of the Federal reserve banks in
1927 was "at least unfortunate" and
said industrial leaders ignored danger
signals.
The banker said the war with its
accompanying imitation was the "un-
deriving cause" of the worlds economic
troubles. He testified the imitation OF
credit during the war was In excess of
5000 900 900 900.
Legislation TO provide for economic
planning was urged before the commit
tee by representa- tives of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles, who said 1t must be
undertaken by the Government.
Denies Gold Shortage Factor.
Traylor. in reply to a question from
Chairman La Toilette, denied the
worlds economic troubles were caused
by gold shortage.
La Toilette asked If American in
dustry had contributed by too rapid
expansion.
THE degree of intelligence exercised
by all of us in the lock backwards GER
tainly does not entitle us to very much
credit as wise men," Trayior replied.
THAT is particularly true of industrial
leadership, because after all they had
the facts of the situation and those
facts were conclusive that we couldn't
support the volume Of business of 1923
and 1929 and couldn't look for an
increase"
Trayior said the foreign investment
policy OF American lenders was not we'll
advised and was too liberal.
The banker said the trends were
clearly discernible before the crash
of 1929
Danger Signals in 1898.
"The danger signals were certainly
obvious by 1928" he said.
La Toilette asked why there were no
more warnings on the part of leaders.
Just human nature" Trayior replied,
La Toilette asked about the wisdom
Of American banking policies.
1T is perfectly obvious now, and to
some 1t was at the time that the Fed
eraI Reserve policy Of 1927 was. to say
the least, unfortunate
Some of us believed at that time
that interest rates of the Federal Re
serve banks should have been raised
stifiy They were reduced in 1927, and
from the standpoint of the arguments
given for that action 1t was probably
justified"
Traylor said commercial banking was
soundly conducted with reference to
market speculation, but its efforts were
nuilified by the development of loan
ing direct by large corporations in the
call money market and attraction of
5000 900 900 Of foreign capital.
