Oddly coinciding with the court de-
cision was abandonment today OF the
old Park Savings Bank Building at
Fourteenth and Kenyon streets NV.
which is to be torn down to make way
for a gasoline fllling station.
Receiver John F. Moran Of the Park
Savings Bank, who had maintained
ofices in the old building also for three
other closed institutions, moved out
over the week end, and opened for
business this morning in the Bright
wood Bank Building at 1913 Georgia
avenue NV. The Park Bank Build
ing has been sold to the Gulf Oil Corp
Mr.. Moran is receiver also for the De-
partmental Bank. North Capitol Saw
ings Bank and Prudential Bank.
Another suit involving the Park
Savings Bank is pending in the Court
Of Appeals against the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corp. In this suit the
depositors charge the R. F. c. made
loans against assets of the Park bank
which in reality were part Of the
trust estate belonging to depositora
in the institution prior to the expira-
ton of its charter in 1929. The r. r
c. is asked for an accounting. The
Court of Appeals had postponed con.
sideration of the claim against the
r. F. c. until after the suit in which
decision was announced today.

COl0RED TENANTS
RUSH TO LANGSTON
Lured by Housing Luxuries at
Lower Rent, Hundreds
Seek Homes.

Hundreds Of prospective tenants,
lured by the offer Of housing luxuries
at less rent than they are now paying
for sub-standard shelter in alleys and
tenements, today were besieging rental
ofiices Of the governments new project
for colored families on Benning road
N. E.
Franklin Thorne, manager at Lang
ston, and 4 force Of about so aides,
had hardly been able to make . dent
In the waiting lines 1T noon.
The rush Of tenants started Friday
afternoon and Saturday after the
United States Housing Authority had
broadcast rentals ranging from $3.50
for two-room apartments to $31 20 for
the largest living units. Even before
then nearly 5000 had registered for
homes at Langston, which will ac-
commodate only 274 families.
The management once opened to q
long lineup this morning and when
they were admitted inside the crowd
occupied all available space in the
building.
Housing ofiicials expect there will
be at least six or seven thousand ap-
plications registered by the end of
this week. The mere fact that the
average rental is $745 per room is
responsible for the rush, especially in
view of the fact that the rent includes
heat. hot water, electricity for light
ing, cooking, and refrigeration.

CARTAGENA RAIDED FIVE TIMES
Rebel Planes Wreak Revenge for
LOyalist Sea Victory.

Loyalist Sea Victory.
MADRID, March (P).-1n swift re-
venge for the governments first big
naval victory-the torpedoing of the
insurgents cruiser Baleares-General-
issimo Francisco Frances airmen raid
ed the Port of Cartagena five times
between midnight and noon today.
The government communique an
nouncing the raids failed to mention
casualties, but said the government
naval force base there escaped dam
age.
Two attacks came in the night and
two more about am, when two
squadrons swept in from the Mediter-
ranean near the spot where the 10000
ton Baleares was hit in yesterday S
naval engagement. The fifth attack
was carried out at noon.
Meanwhile, congratulatory tele-
grams poured in on the Cartagena
naval commander for the victory over
eight insurgent war vessels in the Sum
day battle.
The government victory left gaping
hole in the insurgent blockade of the
Eastern Spanish coast.
The battle, which may have an
important effect on the outcome OF
the Spanish civil war, resulted from
. chance encounter Of government
and insurgent fleets yesterday about
10 miles off the port of Cartagena.
