BIMETALLISM URGED
FOR DEBTORS RELIEF
Couzens Declares Dollar Must Be
Made Less Valuable by
Wage Boost.
a. tre Associated Prog.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, September Ex-senator
James Couzens of Michigan in a state
ment today said he believed Congress
should consider action either along the
lines of bi-metaIlism or partial suspen-
sion Of the gold standard" to lift what
he termed the enormous burden OF
debt now bearing down on the Ameri-
can citizen"
The Michigan Senator vigorously con-
demned wage cutting, and said the way
to make the dollar less valuable Is TO
increase wages and the price OF goods.
He said he believed some such relief for
American debtors should be afforded as
has been extended in the creation OF
moratcriums for the benefit OF foreign
peoples.
Senator Couzens' statement was an
elaboration Of a statement made pre-
viously that debts undoubtedly would
have to be settled on the basis OF
50-cent dollar"
what I intended to convey was that
more dollars would have to be paid for
labor and goods by probably hundred
per cent than is now being paid he
said. THE boosting Of the value OF the
dollar Is undoubtedly concerted effort
to make it more difficult for the debtors.

the interest of their debts. Obviously
every creditor wants the dollar. as ex-
pensive as possible because when he gets
his payment on interest or principal,
he gets much more than he contem-
plated getting five or six years ago"

RAISE MOVIE FUND
NageI Announces Test for
Plan for 100000 An
,nuaI Relief.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD, September 26.-Offi-
GERS of the Motion Picture Relief Fund,
headed by its president, Conrad Nagel,
are trying to determine the workability
of plan to raise 100000 annually.
The plan, so long under discussion
that its author is forgotten, is to assess
players, writers, directors and executives
one-half of per cent of their salaries
weekly.
If. for example, Greia Carlo consents
to such an assessment on her reported
salary OF $500 week, she would con-
tribute $3.50 from every pay check
she receives.
The amount is an insignificant part
of her salary, but IL Greta (of course,
this is merely hypotheticaD figures her
contributions over a period of year,
she's liable not to sign the agreement.
One-half of l per cent of Miss CARLOS
salary for year is $3.50.
Would Be Large Increase.
Although the assessment plan is the
fairest and most equitable yet devised,
Mike Levee, treasurer OF the fund,
pointed out today that few stars ever
have given more than $500 or $500 a
year. If the high-salaried players,
those in tie $4,000 to $4,000 a week
bracket, multiply one-half of l per cent
of their weekly pay check by So they
may conclude the. assessment idea is
too expensive.
Since the fund was organized In 1924,
money to help needy actors and others
in the industry has been raised by sub
scription. For while the fund operated
through the Los Angeles Community
Chest, but divorced itself from that or
ganization three years ago.
Drives, benefit performances and
other money-extracting efforts have
not brought in the necessary 100000
year.
Replies to missionaries sent by Ma
gel to a cross-Section OF the industry
indicate a ma jority are in favor of the
assessment plan But, said, Nagel, to
realize 100000 every major employe Of
every studio must come in on it.
Some Objections Likely.
'-The writer. or the executive, or the
director earning around $1,000 week
doesn't mind giving SIS every week" said
Levee. We expect some of the stars
who will have to give more. yet in the
same proportion, will object.
1T will require individual agreements
10 put the project in operation. Each
week the several studios will deduct the
necessary amount from the salaries of
those who agree.
IF. for instance, salary pay roll
Is $50,000 the studio each week wiz
send a check for $3.50 to the fund. In
that wey the star will be able to keep
his salary from public knowledge, and,
as the assessment is levied every week,
the amount won't seem so large.
The plan may work and it may not
But we're hopeful"
