Loan Made Will
Stabilize Pound

NEW YORK, Aug. %. UP)-Pri-
yate bankers in America and France
have extended TO the British gov
eminent a one year credit of $780,
900 600 to be used in stabiliZing the
value of the Pound Sterling in the
foreign exchange markets OF the
world.
The American share of the credit,
5000 900, 900, was negotiated through
j. P. Morgan & Co, and a nation
wide group of more than 100 banks.
None of it will be offered to the
public.
The French half, however, will
consist of a sl00,000,000 banking
credit and a 100000 900 British
treasury loan, to be sold to the
French public at an interest rate
understood to be Az per cent.
The amount finally granted was
more than the maximum requested
by Great Britain, it was said, as
an indication of the confidence
bankers feel in the present British
government. The credit is expected
to stabilize the pound for at least
the coming year.

FORMER IRISH
WARRIORS BALK
AT GREASEPAINT
BY RONALD WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. %. U,H -
Former Notre Dame football stars,
here for the filming of a gridiron
picture in memory of Knute Rockne,
furnish quite a problem to studio
officials by ignoring many of the
age-old rules of motion pictures.
Not that the athletes aren't will
ing to put in long hours under
the hot sun, Juggling footballs back
and forth, posing for stills, and
tackling dummies with muscles that
have grown soft Tin some inStances)
since starring days.
But makeup men for instance.
when a young gent in plus fours,
carving a box of makeup. APP
preached the old time stars and sug-
gested he was going to paint their
faces, it appeared for a split Sec
ond or two that the Hollywood
painter was going to get what No.
tire Dame likes to give the Army
every fall.
Adam Walsh. who captained the
Irish in 1924, saved the day for his
disgruntled mates. Adam had spent
more time in Hollywood than most
of the boys and knew that lots OF
big strong men out here paint their
faces for the cameras. He appealed
to Russell Mack, the director.
These boys will tear into a stone
wall without a word" Walsh said,
but they can't go in for that grease
paint stuff. Most of them were
raised to think that paint stuff was
sissy and so help me they can't get
it out of their minds"
Mack explained that the reason
he wanted the athletes painted was
to deaden the effects of the sun
tans they had acquired on Cali
fornia beaches.
The players listened attentively
but there was no volunteer to &C
cept the first load of paint. Each
was afraid of rubbing" from the
others.
Mack finally decided to photo
graph the athletes in their natural
compilations.

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, Aug %. U.P)-The
stock market made only small re-
spouse to overnight announcement
of the completion of terms for eX-
tension of s4O0000,0O0 in short term
credits to Great Britain by New
York and Paris bankers.
Although the credit move was
hailed in Wall Street as one of the
most important constructive moves
yet made to promote international
economic recovery, the stock mar
ket's only immediate reaction was
a moderate markup of price.
The apathy existing in Specula-
tive quarters was indicated by the
small volume and narrowneSS Of
the price movements which re-
sembled earlier sessions Of the week.
Gains were numerous however, and
few important shares were able
to penetrate recent resistance levels.
Nevertheless, the general market
was reluctant to follow up the adj
/ vances in some Of the leaders.
Amusements showed independent
strength for a time but gains else
where were held to relatively mar
row limits.
Several attempts were made by
Bull leaders to stir up enthusiasm
in the market by heavy buying in d
few issues. These met with some
success, and the shares affected
moved sharply higher. A widely ad-
vertised short squeeze in West
inghouse electric was responsible for
a point advance in that stock but
| few shorts were caught.
American telephone was a feature
of special strength, rising more than
two points.
According to preliminary calcula-
tons the Dow. Jones & company
industrial average advanced 100
points to 142.08, rail average adj
vanced OCT points to $500 and the
utility average was up OBJ points
to 580l.
Sales for the session totaled Alb
290 shares, compared with 424,05O
shares last Saturday.

JUDGE LENIENT
WITH OFFENDERS
OF SAME name

Perhaps in view of the fact they
have a good name, Judge l. May
field today unravelled the Mayfield
coincidental tangle by sentencing
Robert Mayfield, "a. to 10 days in
the county jail for stealing gasoline
from the automobile of Don May
field. suspended the sentence dur
ing good behaviour. and dismissed a
like charge against Ruby Mayfield
Is.
In spite of the coincidence the
Judge. the victim and the accused
are all of the same name, none is
related but Robert and Ruby May
field, who are married.
The two were arrested in Imper-
ial yesterday morning when Bill
Murphree. traffic officer there
came upon Robert siphoning gas
oline from Don Mayfield's auto
mobile.
Yesterday afternoon Robert May
field pleaded guilty and said his
wife was in no way connected with
the affair. They are from Okla
homa, he said, and had only rs
cents when they stopped in Imper-
ial yesterday morning. Since they
could not buy gasoline and some
thing to eat, too, he decided TO
steal the gas, said the youth.
1t was the first thing he ever
stole, he said, and will be the last.
Robert told Judge Mayfield he plans
to look for work IN FL Centre, that
he may support his wife here. If
he cannot find work, he said, they
must sell their automobile.
After fatherly lecture this morn
ing, Judge Mayfield pronounced
sentence on Robert and informed
him the sentence would be suspend

Labor Demands
Premier Resign

LONDON, Aug. %. U.P) - Pre-
mier j. Ramsay Macdonald was
asked to resign his membership in
the Labor party today.
The Labor party executive COM
nittee in the Seaman division a.
Durham, MacDonald's constituency,
adopted q resolution asking his res
ignation.
Macdonald wrote his constituent
cy:
81 profoundly regret what has
happened. If I can only serve you
all in the long run I should cheer
fully accept any sacrifice in doing
it. 1t is the war over again"
The premier apparently was re-
ferring to the break IN the Labor
party during the World war, which
he opposed.
The resolution was interpreted al
so as a demand that Macdonald
resign his seat in the House of Com
mons. 1t was anticipated that the
Premier. however, would delay &C
ton until the new national govern
ment was ended.
