Mystery in NANNY"

THE Jazz Singer" And since then
when Warner Bros. have wanted the
very best manipulation for their SYM
phonic muse, they have turned implor-
ing eyes on Louis and handed him the
gilded baton.
Thus, mostly invisible, does this
maestro wander amidst the broad aiSles
of Hollywood. In Nanny" II you are
clever, you will catch q glimpse Of him
on the point Of leading his men to their
duty. Then Jolson comes on the stage
and discourses with him, the camera
focusing on nothing but momentary
flash on the top of Louis head.
However, by listening intently you will
hear his words Of wisdom, the voice
of the neo RachmaninoR recording with
the sorority of q Tibbett.
Perhaps some day he will be starred
in his own right. At present his name
appears only on the program screen a
foot or so high. Louis still Is sung
about In the noisy taverns Of Back
Bay, where Boston's blueSt dowagers
tell how he coached them more than

TREASURY FORCED
 ID BORROW. CASH
Worlds Richest Nation Faces
 Deficit This Year

Washington. May 14 UP)-The United States, richest nation in the world. is without ready cash and the treasury has been forced to bor- row s100,o00.o0O in short term no&s to meet it's immediate needs.
 Even with this borrowed money. the treasury has no assurance of ending the fiscal year with a sur plus, for s56.000,0oO of it must be paid out on May 2 to clear previ- ous obligations. Moreover, & large deficit is in view when the govern ment closes it's bank book at the end Of the present fiscal year. June IS.
 To date, the treasury has a deficit of s19S4S9.os9. as compared with a deficit for the corresponding period last year of s166.19o.o03. Owing to large June tax receipts, the govern nent last year closed the fiscal year with a surplus of 1S5.000,000.
 Treasury Notes Due
 Tax receipts to June Is from COZ poratons and individuals on 1929 incomes are expected to aggregate approximately s50o,oG0. .00o. but the government has coming due on that date $549,707, ,00o in treasury cer<ifi- catcs. which will more than offset the estimated receipts. However. new government financing in June may alter this situation.
 In any event, it appears the treas ury will have a surplus, if any, Of less than s100.000,000. It is too carly officials said today, to specu- late on what effect this estimated small surplus will have on con- tinuing the one per cent tax cut passed by congress last winter on 1929 incomes.
 Expenditures Of s14o,0O0,0o0 by the federal farm board are primar- fly responsible for the present fnan- clGl situation. officials said
 Expects to Be Repaid
 The farm board expects eventual ly to be repaid for every dollar 1t has loaned to cooperative marketing organizations. but there is possi- bility it may lose large sums through itJ stabilization operations in grain. Farm board officials are optimistic of the outcome of this venture. how ever, and arc confident they can eventually sell the grain they have bought without substantial losses.
