An Army colonel has been put to
work as a special sleuth to track down
alleged irregularities in Army air
plane buying.
Chairman Rogers of the House Mil

day II the evidence found by the
committees special investigator dis
closed need for further study, the
committee then will accept the prof.

The special investigator put to
work by the committee is Col M. G.
Spinks of the Army inspector gen.
erals office. He is concentrating on
personal, as we'll as, official War De-
partment records.
The committee contends the 1926
aircraft defense act clearly ordered
competitive bidding, hut that a few
months after it became a law some
one-either civilian or an Army off,
cer-ordered, in effect, that the law
be dsregarded and airplanes bought
on negotiated contracts.
After establishing responsibility for
that order, the committee intends to
determine whether the individual
concerned obtained any personal profit
When Rogers was asked whether
any one had made monetary profit

ANKLE INJURY
To SHELVE
D.C.ACE
By DAN GILL

Because Of an ankle injury,
Dooly Mitchell, City of Washing
ton champion, may be on the
sidelines Saturday when the tour
ney, the first major net event Of
the season, is held.
Mitchell, No. player of the
city and former mainStay Of West
ern High Schools and George
town University's net teams,
pulled q Wilmer Allison a few
days ago when he sprained his
ankle. Said Dooly:
Z started to slide for q shot
and failed to slide, that's ALL"
WON'T BE SURE
Until he is able to test his
ankle, Dolly won't be sure he
will be in condition to compete,
and with the typical circus
weather prevalent, it looks doubt
full he'll get an opportunity to
workout before the tourney.
While Dooly's absence will be a
great loss to the tennis committee,
and to the public which loves to
see him play, it comes as a good
break" to those players who are
good, but not in the same class
with Dolly.
More than forty are expected to
play in the sixth annual tourney
at Rock Creeks Reservoir Courts,
Sixteenth and Kennedy Streets
Northwest. Entries close at noon
Friday. The fee is two dollars and
blanks may be had from Bill
Shreve at The Tennis Shop.
Mangan Won First
Tom Mangan won the first tour
nament and Bob ConSidine, sports
columnist of the Washington
Herald, added champion after his
name the year following. Ever
since it has been Mitchell,

Tom Mangan and Alex Craven

I want to blast pet and false
saying of the so-called old timers
("Take him out in a boat anc
throw him overheard: he will learn
to swim by the time he gets tt
shore.") Oh, yeah! He'll get the
scare of his life. Should he be for
tunate enough to Chamber back
into the boat you couldn't get him
near water again with a team Of
horses. Why not hit the pupil or
the head with hammer; it's just
as certain a method of murder as
by drowning.
Instructive
Fear Of water is mostly instinc.
tive, not easily controlled by will
power. Get into several feet Of
water about shoulder deep. OF
course, the first time the water
may seem a bit cool, but that is
all right. Jump up and down sew
eral times, splash water over your
shoulders, and it won't be long
until you are feeling fine again
and enjoying the cool, clinging
yield of the water to your body
Now open your mouth wide and
take a deep breath; then close
your mouth again and submerge
your face or entire head under
water. While the face is under,
expel the air out of your lungs
through the nose. Bear in mind
that. with air coming out of your
nose, water cannot get in. Open
your mouth as soon as it comes
above water.
Breathe Out of Nose
Do all your breathing in through
the mouth, out through the nose,
while in the water.
Did you know you can see I'm.
der water? Certainly you can.
Try it the next time your face is
under water. It will seem like
looking through blue-green glasses.
Perhaps you will not be able to
see far, but if you hold your hands
near your face I am sure you can
see your fingers move when you
wriggle them, or you can watch
the bubbles rise as you expel the

c DECISION
NETTLES FANS
At PORTNER'S

Fight fans of Washington and
vicinity may demand a return bout
between Leroy Dougan and Billy
Landers. While last nights deci-
sion to the victor was unanimous
on the part of the judges at Port
ner's Arena. ringworms disagreed
sharply. When the decision was
rendered last night it was greeted
by a volley of boos, and a number
of ringside seats were unceremonl-
ously tossed into the ring.
Fought Cautiously
Dougan fought cautiously
throughout the earlier portion of
the fight, utilizing a rapier left to
nick Billy. In the opening round,
LanderS landed a sharp right to
Dougan's jaw, a blow which sent
Dougan through the ropes.
In the final round. Landers
came with rush. He took the
play completely away from
Dougan and won this chapter
with ease. However, as the judges
saw 1t, LanderS leaQ IN the CenCn
was short of enough to give him
the verdict.
Turner Scores X. o.
Henry Irving once again was
a Knockout victim of Bob Turner's
murderous right hand. Henry
was we'll in the van for five
rounds, but in the fifth Turner
measured Irving and let fly with
that right hand. Irving went
down and out. Joe Green took a
technical knockout verdict from
Lou Volta. The bout was halted
in the second round. Volta did
not seem to be in shape. In the
opening bout, Mike Groves scored
a technical Knockout over Nay
Palmer after one minute and As
seconds of the first round had
been fought.

STOCK MARKET
NOT YET READY
FORSPURT
BY Wall Street Spectator

NEW YORK. May 16 GN.S).
The market demonstrated that
while it couldn't run Just yet, it
still could walk right side up.
The even tenor of yesterdays
trading, and the absence Of the
usual tendency to overdo the early
stages Of a rally is a point in its
favor.
Such action if continued does
not remove the short interest too
rapidly and maintains the techni.
cal strength.
A rapid advance at this stage
would be principally at the ex-
pense Of the shorts.
The chart boys are again on the
anxious seat right here. While a
few have begun to have suspicious
that the upward trend since last
March may have been reversed,
the majority are still bullish-for
the long term. They point out
that any reversal Of the bull trend
will be highly improbable and in
conclusive, according to accepted
standards, until the October lows
are broken.

DEMAND SEE n

BY JAMES u. FLANAGAN
Some Of the clearing house
banks are expected to demand
that banking authorities recover
from the Hartman National Bank
g. Trust Co., directors and stock
holders to provide funds for pay.
mentS to depositors of the closed
bank before any settlement is
made by members Of the clearing
association.
1t Is also learned that, while
some clearing house banks still
continue to flirt with the idea Of
q voluntary settlement of the
liability that the controller of cur
rency has implied, and which will
be tested in court later this month,
certain of the more important
institutions are firm against any
action prior to a court ruling in
the matter. It may be stated that
the First National Bank is In
cluded in this group.
No Action Taken
The point was raised in bank
ing circles today that whereas in
the failure of the Bank of United
States, Joseph Broderick, New
York State superintendent of
banks, successfully instituted legal
action against the stockholders of
the defunct institution to recover
under the double liability clause
to provide funds for partial liqui-
dalton of depositors claims, no
such action has been taken in
connection with the Hartman
failure.
On the contrary, and without
legal precedent, the controller Of
currency has sought to have the
members of the clearing house &C.
cept full liability for the deposi-
tors claims, and according to re-
cent reports has even extended a
compromise offer.

it is certain that some of the more

mission of liability for member

holders could not be achieved by
such action.
In other words, if the clearing
house member banks contributed
pro rata to a fund to partially
meet the depositors' claims, there
would be no assurance that all
stockholders of the Hartman
bank would accept the terms of
settlement-in which event legal
claims might be put forth at a
later date to effect complete
liquidation Of the assumed liza
