of Schaaf's seconds Friday night.
Buckley was in tears and vehe-
ment against the people who had
termed his fighter "a gutter i'm
mediately after the fight.
There never was a gamer boy in
the ring he said, and there never
was a cleaner boy. He went to con-

Approximately 42O state banks

Money Needed
Banking department officials
were positive in their assertions
that despite the legal closing of
the banks arrangements must ana
would be made to allow small with
drawals for necessary current
funds to operate fundamental busi-
neSSes.
Necessary as the moratorium ac-
ton is" Reichert said, lit is also
vital that those who will be caught
without adequate funds to finance
household or emergency business
needs must be taken care Of"
Western Union Telegraph rushed
orders to offices in nearby states to
ship currency into Michigan by ar
mored truck. A. A. Burr, Detroit
superintendent, said they had
available cash for today and would
secure funds to cash any and all
money orders for the company that

riedly and announced that men,
Der banks would care for the needs
of current business and payrolls.

nounced it was negotiating for cur
rency to be shipped into Michi-
gan from adjoining states by ar
mored motor trucks.

had a limited reserve of ready cash
on hand but that they were ne
gotiating with the federal reserve

Boston, Feb 27--UP) )--IIope of finding June Bolduc, g, and Helen Lindcrman, Q, alive was virtually abandoned to-day by their parents six days after the children disap- peared from their Roxbury homes. An intensive search of vacant buildings in the section, fnvcstl- gation of the widest tips and drag ging of Muddy river have failed to reveal any trace of the girls.

 Police expected to begin blast ing operations in Muddy river be- hind the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, where the children were be- lieved to have fallen through the ice.

 New York, Feb. 27-UP)-The stock market today staged 6 brisk rally at the expense of large short interest until prices were up 1 to g points above Saturdays close; then the list turned down and finished below Saturdays close.
 There was nothing in the news to bring in selling. The reasons lay within the market itself. Early covering was induced by what some considered an oversold con- dition and the evident improve ment in the banking situation des- pite restrictions on withdrawals of bank deposits by many cities.
 The rally lacked support of new buyers and when the demand of shorts was exhausted, lack of de- mand made for drop in price. For a few minutes the drop was rather rapid. For example U. s. Steel broke from 25- Is to 23 5-S; American Telephone from 9G-7-8 to 94 1-4 and American Can from 51 1-2 to 49 3-4. Volume frightened before the close, however, and most leaders came back partially from their extreme lows of the day.
 Actual market news was consid- cred favorable. Despite the myth of Ford-Wall street antipathy, the financial community was highly pleased with the move of Henry Ford to enter the banking field and reorganiZe the two large Detroit banks in difficulty. That move was seen as of sufficient psycholo- gical import to rectify the entire Detroit banking problem.
 A long list of Cleveland banks were operating under restrictions today, but that had been expected and was of minor market signi- Gcance. The Cleveland stock ex- change closed in line with the pre- cedent set by the Detroit stock ex- change when the Michigan bank moratorium was declared two weeks ago.
 Designations of Charles E. Mitch- ell as chairman of the board of the National City bank and its affilIates and of Hugh Baker, president of the National City company, were considered favorable and following acceptance of the resignations by directors, bank stocks firmed up. National City bank was up more

 The bond market lent aid to the stock market in the early trading. United States government issues, weak spots in recent trading, were bid up most of the day. They eased from their highs late in the day. The remainder of the bond market was irregular with rails firm and utilities lower. Foreign issues ruled steady.
 Commodities also had their per- iod of strength. Cotton rose sub stantially in the morning and held most of it's gains until the last hour when 1t, too, declined. Wheat lost early gains and closed at fractional losses. Corn was weak and off 1-2 to 7-8 cent q bushel at the close.
