LOS ANGELES, August 28-The no.
tables of the movie world and hundreds
of admiring laymen prepared TO ac-
company the body Of Lon CLANCY on
Its last journey.
From the little chapel of a funeral
parlor the distinguished character act
or's body will be taken after impress
sive but simple services to be buried be-
side his father in Forest Lawn Gene
terry, Glendale, this afternoon.
Hundreds of citizens, singly or by
twos and .threes. filed past the silver
bronze casket yesterday to pay final re-
spects to the man whose private life
was as simple unostentatious and quiet
as the screen characters which brought
him fame were weird, grotesque and
memorable.
Honorary PalIbearers.
Honorary pallbearers represented a
cross section of who's who in FINLAND,
Including Louis B. Mayer, Nicholas
Echenck, Irving G. Thalberg, Hunt
Stromberg, Paul Bern, Tod Browning,
Chaney's director; Harry Carey, Lionel
Barrymore, Ramon Novarro, William
Haines, Lawrence Tibet, Lew Cody,
Cliff Edwards, Harry Rapf, Fred Niblo,
Benny Rubin, Wallace Berry, George
Hill and Edgar Selwyn.
The entire motion picture industry
arranged to suspend work at 3 o'clock,
when the funeral cortege was due at
the cemetery, to honor his memory for
two minutes. All business activity in
every Metro Goldwyn Mayer office
throughout the world was ordered
stopped for two minutes.
At the local M-G-M Studios, where
CLANCY was shortly to have begun his
second talking picture, the United
States Marine Corps Reserve, of which
the actor was an honorary member,
has arranged to lower q nag and fire
q salute as Taps" as are sounded in
his honor.
Deaf Mutes Pay Tribute.
Numerous deaf mutes were among
those who came to the chapel, CLANCY
having been an especial hero to them,
not only because one or two of his most
memorable screen characters were thus
af1icted, but because both of his parents
were deaf and dumb.
A touching sight at the chapel was
the grief of battered veteran of the
World War, upon whose breast cleaned
row upon row of decorations. Through
out the day this veteran, Sergt. Frank
McClouskey, kept vigil beside the cas-
ket, near which was his own floral Of
fering
McClouskey met CLANCY seven years
ago. CLANCY sent McClouskey to a
hospital for an operation which par
italy cured his paralysis.

CYCLES INDICATE
BUSINESS UPTURN
Economist Says Improve
ment Is Due in August, but
May Come in December.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, June Robustness is
scheduled for an upturn in August.
after the dull month of July, but the
improvement may be delayed until De-
cember, Alvan T. SimondS, economist
and president of Simonds' Saw & Steel
Co., predicted before the annual con-
vention of National Association of Pur-
chasing Agents.
Decreasing money rates since last
November indicate, with other factors,
the beginning of another three-year
cycle of advance in all lines, Mr.
Simonds said, and long cycle of ad-
vance over a 10year period with brief
setbacks at the end of each three years
These Swings" he described as the
normal orbits of business.
Schools of business and economies in
various American universities were
praised by Mr.. Simonds as furnishing
the future security Of business through
training in fundamentals Of capital
credit and money.
Lauds Finance Schools.
Schools Of business administration
are training the business executives OF
tomorrow, Mr.. SimondS said. Until
We have a sufficient leavening OF this
kind of training, we cannot hope to
solve the major problems that are fac
ing American business today.
For instance, the most common tools
used by every business are capital
credit and money-three entirely diff
ferent entities. When I spoke to many
business men in 1920 about the short
age of credit, was met by the reply
that there was plenty of money in the
banks. There was plenty of money in
the banks of Germany when the mark
became worth next to zero.
There was plenty of money in the
banks Of the United States in NoVem-
Der, 1929, but, unfortunately, even ouI
most successful wealth accumulators
understood almost nothing about the
general principles and theory Of money
and credit, and 1t is quite impossible
TO teach them algebra If they have not
had a previous course in arithmetic.
Hunch Forecasting Raped.
"Then we have still another large
group of the ignorant who say that
times have changed, and that Adam,
Smith and his teachings, because they
are 125 years old, are all out of date.
What we need now to insure better
business is training in economics and
the theory of business, together with q
knowledge that the days of bunch and
bunk in forecasting business are about
over.
THE business executive of today must
be trained to think and to realize that
the successful enterprises are going tc
be those that are based on the applica
ton Of the right theory"

FOLLOWING UPTURN
Early Gains Wiped Out by
Profit Taking as Loans
Decrease.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, June 20.-The swift
upturn in share prices proved too good
to be true and was largely wiped out
In a new selling wave in todays mar
ket. The violence of the rebound yes
terday only attracted renewed bear SELL
ing and a more favorable opportunity
for nervous traders still anxious to
tighten their holdings.
The reduction from 8 to "a per
cent in the New York rediscount rate
Immediately enlivened the demand for
gilt-edged bonds, but had only pass
ing influence on stocks. The stock
market opened with another abrupt
upturn, perhaps more in response to
the $2l 100000 drop in brokers loans
than to the lower rate, but early gains
were soon Cancelled and prices dropped
swiftly under aggressive selling around
midday. Soon after l o'clock, however
trading slackened and support ap-
peared.
Margin adjustment.
There was a growing feeling in brok-
erage circles that prices would be I'M
likely to go much lower-at least would
not, on the whole, break through the
levels of November ID; but commission
house advices still remained cautious,
and there was no inclination to pre-
dict rising market Reassuring was
the action of one large wire house in
reducing its marginal requirements to
approximately IS per cent of market
value.
Furthermore, it was learned that
some investment trusts were fairly
active in buying stocks.
Wall Street did not see how the lower
reolscount rate would have much i'm
mediate influence, as banks are largely
out OF debt and do not feel the need of
borrowing at the Federal reserve, but 1T
was on the whole favorably regarded
in its longer term implications. Call
money held oficially at 21a per cent and
short-term time money was reduced to
ga to A. 1t was rumored that the Fed
eral reserve had reduced It's buying rate
Tor shorter term acceptances to . per
cent. The ReichSbank cut its rate from
AZ to 4 per cent.
Some of the high-priced stocks fiuc-
tuated erratically Case moved up z
points in the early trading, dropped 20
from the top, then rallied Important
shares generally gained l to 4 points
at the opening, lost their gains and
sold off l to 7, then rallied a point
or 2 from the bottom.
Late Price Changes.
Such shares as Consolidated Gas,

Eastman Kodak. Coca Cola, Byers,
Western Union, Johns Manville, Loews,

The low prices of the day for many
