DETROIT DEBACLE
ST|RS TRADE TALK
Phones Hum as Rumors of
Pitcher Deal Follows
Loss to Tigers.
BY FRANCIS Z. STAN,
Stafi Correspondent of The Star.

~ ETROIT, June 3.-Poignant
memories Of long distance
bombardments by the enemy
- against National pitching
prompted long distance telephone con-
VersationS with the Washington base
today and brisk blowing up of fresh
trade winds.
With less than two weeks remaining
before the June Is deadline on major
league trading, 1t now seems almost
certain that Washington's pitching
staff will undergo some face lifting
in the next few days
Manager Bucky Harris and Secre.
tary Edward B. Eynon, jr., heading
the Nat encourage on this Western
swing, refused TO comment on trade
possibilities last night, but it is a
Wel-knoWn fact that a strictly busi-
ness conference was held by the pair
and that local long distance telephone
operators were given workout
With comment withheld, only specu.
lation was in order today and those
with an ear to the ground maintained
that an attempt will be made to grab
a pitcher from any of three Western
clubs and an Eastern outfit.
Red SoX Trade Looms.
THERE seemed a strong likelihood
that negotiations with the Boston
Red Sox would be reopened and a
chance that Fritz Ostermueller will
wind up in a Washington uniform.
OF the Western clubs only Detroit
seems eliminated as potential trading
source and this is due only to the
fact that Manager Mickey Cochrane
still is bedridden in St Elizabeth's
Hospital in New York City.
So bustling was secret" activity
supposed TO be last night that critics
who had refused to believe Outfelder
Ben Chapman would be traded were
reconsidering. Chapman is vital
cog IN the National machine, but so,
too, would be a winning pitcher and
to Messrs. Clark Griffith and Harris
falls the option of deciding the re.
spective values
1t all happened in the wake Of
that 1l-to-8 horror committed yes
terday when the Griffs went down to
defeat after holding a 7-to-0 lead over
the Tigers in the fifth inning. -Four
pitchers were used in an attempt to
stem Detroit's closing rush and Of
the quartet only sgd Cohen deserved
the title of pitcher" The others,
notably Ed Linke and Joe Cascarella,
merely threw and ducked.

The idea Of a separate room in the

OF waterproof bitumen with a drain

MORTGAGE AGENCY
SURVEY IS URGED
Congress Expected to Get
Proposal on Need of
Discount Unit.

A survey to cover all sections of the
country to determine the need for a
national mortgage discount agency,
privately owned, but under Govern
ment supervision, to serve long-term
financing on the basis afforded short
term commercial financing through
the Federal Reserve Bank System, will
be proposed in resolution expected
to be introduced in the present Con-
gress, it was disclosed by the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
through Edward A. MacDougall, New
York, chairman of the associations
committee on real estate finance.
A bill to create such reserve agency
for the country's real estate mortgage
structure is now before Congress. 1t
was introduced jointly by Senator
Wagner of New York and Senator
Pepper of Florida. The bill, which
would open to all sound mortgages the
discount facilities that commercial
loans now have, would afford means
through which Federal Government
participation in real estate financing
may eventually be replaced with pri-
vate capital, MacDougall said.
Progress Seen for Plan.
Speaking on the necessity for in
Suring a sound financial structure for
real estate, he said that the plan for
a permanent national real estate mort
gage institution or mortgage discount
bank, urged by the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards as needed
to this end, has made substantial
progress during this session Of Con-
Rress
"Such a Federal mortgage bank
would bring to the mortgage market
the enormous investing power Of the
masses OF small investors, not now
represented there except in 50 far as
their savings are being indirectly in
vested through the operation Of the
life insurance companies, savings
banks and building and loan associa-
tons" MacDougall said.
That a Federal mortgage bank
would be a success and the sale Of its
securities would be popular Is evi-
denced by the recent successful issue
Of $25,oO00oO one-year III per cent
debentures of the Federal home loan
banks at par
Uses Existing Agencies.
"The proposed Federal Mortgage
Bank as outlined in the Wagner-Pep-
per bill would deal through existing
institutions. It would be privately
managed and operated by experts of
the highest standing but under the
supervision of the Government, in the
same manner that the Federal reserve
banks are supervised by the Govern
ment It would have two main func-
tons: % 1t would act as bank Of
discount In time of stress for institu-
lions having acceptable mortgages
and would enable them to convert
these obligations into cash. ca But it

where they are available to another
part of the country where they are

Experience in European countries,
especially in France with the Credit
Foncier, shows how attractive to the
small investors are the bonds OF a
great urban mortgage bank properly
controlled and managed. Small saw

Be invested and ready market is at
Ill times available so that the value
Of such securities can be readily as

tory of the State Department OF
Health, at midnight, one night last
week, from a physician in Southern
Maryland, for laboratory aid in the
diagnosis of suspectedcase ofpneu-

lily served as the doctors messengers
and brought a specimen of sputum
for examination.
In speaking of the experience, DR.
R. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, said that some of
the laboratory staff are always on
call after the days work is over, for
emergency service. Accordingly, in
less than thirty minutes the tests
were under way. The verdict was pos
tive for a certain type of pneumonia
and few hours later the serum used
in combating that particular type of
the disease was being administered.
Service of this sort is available at
the departmental laboratories scat
tered throughout the State, to physici-
ans practicing in the counties at any
hour of the night, DR.. Riley said. The
laboratories are so situated that they
form network covering the entire
State. The Central laboratory is locat-
ed at the headquarters of the Depart
ment in Baltimore City; the labora-
tory for the Eastern Shore Is at Hur-
