REPORT FLAYS
DETROIT BANKS

Mismanagement Of group banks
at Detroit and Cleveland is
charged by the Senate banking
subcommittee in the fourth in
stallment of a report on it's in.
vestigation into stock markets and
financial institutions. The report
says:
"The Vaccinations and arti-
fees of the officers and direc-
tors Of the Guardian Union
Group, Inc, and the Detroit
Bankers Company Of Detroit
were not indigenous to Detroit,
but were employed in slightly
variant manner, with the same
temporary effectiveness, by the
banking officials in Cleveland"
The 5O,0O0-word report reviewed
testimony and findings of the
committee in two months Of hear.
ings into the Detroit and Cleve'
land banking situation. It added:
''PriOr to the Michigan bank
ing moratorium, declared on
Feb. IA, 1888, and our inquiry,
respectable banking authority
existed i'm favor of group bank
ing, particularly as conducted in
Detroit.
'"Within less than five years
after their organization, how.
ever, the group banking institu-
lions of Detroit had completely
collapsed. Their demise cannot
be substantially attributed to
the stock market collapse Of
Oct. 1929, and the subSe-
Uuent depression, since both
9roups were organized either
Just prior to or Immediately fol-
lowing the October crash.
"NOr can the failure Of these
companies be attributed solely
to the constituency, competency
or honesty of the persons con-
trolling these institutions. An
analysis of the evils and abuses
uncovered at the hearings rather
impeIs the conclusion that this
system of banking, predicated
upon centralized control Of unit
banks, possesses inherent latent
deficiencies and dangerous pO-
tentialities which inevitably be-
come patent when the system
; commences to function"

From m amateur night appear ance in which he is practically hooked off the stage, George Raft rises in 'Bolero', closing tonight at the Capitol, to a final climax in big Parisian night club scene.
 With a succession of partners, whom he loves as a medium of furthering his ambitions. discording them when they fail to be helpful, Raft starts as a beer garden at traction with Gloria Shea. Tn gaudy pre-war Paris, Frances Drake is the loving partner Then comes Carole Lombard, with whom he really falls in love, but who has taken the job as means of landing a rich husband. Comes London with Lombard, and fam dancing Sally Rand is the next one lured into Raft's attractive web Then back to Paris, the sensation al Bolero in Raft's own night club and a tinge of war.
 Back later and wounded, Raft plans comeback with Sally Rand, but she has gone the way of all flesh. With failure facing the gala opening, Carole Lombard appears again as one of the guests and steps into the breach. Then the picture whirls rapidly to 2 clin. ax which is tragic but satisfying

Cronin Will Give Bolton Full Opportunity
Behind Bat; Sure to Stick as Pinch-Hitter

Johnson was managing the Nationals,
Pat Gharrity-then a Washington
coach-took Bolton in tow and en-
deavored to correct this foul catching
flaw in the young gents work. Fer
hours Bolton chased after foul balls.
Nick Altrock almost swung his arm
off popping 'em up to Cliff. Finally,
both Charity and Johnson decided
the rookie was ready to take care OF
this end of the catching business.
And the first time Bolton got into
game that season he ran wild under
every foul that was lifted and narrow
ly escaped being conked by the ball
several times. So they gave up on
him as a catcher. satisfied to let him
help the club with his bat.
With reorganization of the Wash
ington catching staff for next season
planned Bolton will get a thorough
trial this time. If he shows any posi-
bilities as a catcher he probably will
be listed as one of the trio to be car
ried into the next campaign. Failing
Clark Griffith will cast about for an
other receiver and retain Bolton solely
for pinch-batting purposes.
The club won't let go OF him.
Grif1th declares. Bolton swings too
potent a bat for anything like that
to happen.

FerreIl Soft for Schultz.

"HE Nationals helped themselves
to 10 hits of Ferrell. Yet just
four Of their runners got as far
as second base and just one of these
managed to make third. That was in
the ninth inning when three singles
crowded the cushions with two out
1t was here that Ossie b uege swung
for q third strike to seal the ninth win
OF the Boston Highlander brief
campaign.
Once before the ninth the Nationals
threatened to avert a whitewashing.
Clif Bolton opened the seventh session
with a single and checked In at the
middle base when Fred Schultz hit.
Schultz, by the way. found Ferrell
rather easy for he combed the pitcher
for three safeties. But after Schultz
hit, Red KreSs struck out. then Luke
Sewell drilled into double-play.
Il was at Ed Linke's expense that
the Red Sox triumphed. Making his
second start since his recall from the
Chattanooga farm the reformed fat
boy never looked as good as he did In

was spotty in his work from the start.
Yet Linke might have escaped his bad
beating had he not been staggered by
a drive from Lyn Lary's bat in the
seventh.
Up TO that time Ed had yielded
five hits. two passes and three runs.

u All hot and bothered, the
Nationals rolled into this
town today for the start
OF three game series with the
Athletics still wondering how to
end the drought that recently
has left them high and dry on
the base paths.
In their last SO innings they have
plowed through the dust to home
plate only half dozen times. And
an average Of one run per game Is not
calculated 10 gst the Nationals any
where
Three Of their last six engagements
have been shut-out affairs for them
The latest blanking came yesterday In
Washington when Wesley Ferrell held
them in check neatly while the Red
6ox went on 10 an 8-to-0 victory.
That let the Boston band walk of
with the series. two games To one. and
It also dropped the Nationals back to
sixth place in the American League
standings. Enough 10 make the hold
over champions wonder what can be
done about IT.
