CROWNS RIGHT HAND HURT FOR
 THE THIRD TIME.
Thumb Fracture Will Keep Red SOx Boss Out of
 Action Three Weeks

Boston, April IT - CUP) = The Boston Red Sox open their series against the New York Yankees at New York today with Player-Man- ager Joe Cronin on the bench, nurS- ing a double fracture of the right thumb which may kep him out of the lineup anywhere from three weeks to month.
 The hard hitting shortstop, voted the American Leagues most valu- able player while with Washington 8 few seasons ago, broke the thumb in a collision with Third Baseman Pinky Higgins of the Philadelphia Athletics yesterday as the Red Sox won their second successive game, 10 to 4.
 Collision
 With Higgins on first in the sec- ond inning, Oglesby, Athletics first baseman, hit grounder ito Second Baseman Oscar Melillo who tossed to Cronin in an attempt to start a double play. Cronin juggled the ball, stepped off the base, had to tag Hig- gins out and Pinky came into him so hard that when Joe put the ball on him he broke the thumb. Cronin finished out the inning and then had to retire.
 Eric McNair shifted from third to shortstop for the Red Sox with Kroner, rookie infielder, playing third but it was believed a new shift today would put Bill Werber, who has been playing right field, on third and Melo Armada in right.
 Third Injury
 It was the third time in his career that Cronin had suffered an injury to his right hand. Playing for Washington against the Red Sox on Labor Day 1884 Joes right wrist was broken in collision with Pitcher Wes Terrell. Last spring in Red Sox exhibition game he damned the wrist sliding and had to rest it sev- eral weeks.
 Cronin had the thumb-broken at the tip and upper joint-set in splints by Dr. Edward J. (Eddie) O'Brien, team physician, and accom- panied his players to New York last night. Before departure the club an. nounced that Catcher George (Skeet0 Dickey, brother of Bill Dickey of the Yankees, had been purchased outright from the Little Rock Club, from which he had been on trial.

HOTELS FORCED TO
SPEND $4O0,0O0,000
Expenditures at Less Than
so Per Cent of Normal.

Hotel owners throughout the
United States are facing the neces-
sity of spending more than $780,
100000 to put their properties in
proper condition, according to a
survey by the Greater Chicago Ho-
tel Association and released here
today by Kenneth H. Cox, executive
secretary of the Indiana Hotel AS
ISOLATION.
The backlog of needed repairs and
requirements have been built up in
the last five years due to the depres-
sion, Mr.. Cox said. The bill includes
obsolesence and depreciation of
buildings and the wear-out of car
pets, curtains, furniture, china, glass,
silverware and other equipment.
Expenditures of these items have
been running at less than so per
cent normal.
1t is anticipated, now that the
hotel business is on the upgrade,
that this backlog will be wiped out
at the rate of about 100000 d
year and that the industries sup
plying hotels will profit proportion
ately.
Plans and methods for bringing
about these requirements are to be
discussed at the annual convention
of the Illinois and Greater Chicago
Hotel Associations, which is to be
held at the Stevens Hotel, Chicago,
March "a to 81.

CORRECTIONS IN
BANKING LAWS
Currency Controller Would
Enlarge Powers of
His Office.
By United Press

WASHINGTON, March 24-J. F.
I. O'Connor, Controller of the Cur
rency, suggested corrective and
clarifying amendments" to present
banking law today in a 178-page re-
port to Joseph w. Byrns, Speaker of
the House.
The suggested changes would en-
large powers of the controller
office and extend his authority over
the nations banks. These were
made by Mr.. O'Connor in his an
nual report. His 1885 annual re-
port formed the basis for the 1885
banking act.
He asked that Congress grant the
general power to Controller of the
Currency to make such rules and
regulations as are necessary to en-
able him effectively to perform his
duties, functions or services speci-
fed in the banking laws"
Mr.. O'Connor pointed out that
such general regulatory authority
has already been vested in the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp. and the
Federal Reserve Board.
Makes 3 Principal Proposals
His principal suggestions were:
1. That FDIC loans to facilitate
