MEYER REFUSES
TO TELL POLICIES
Reserve Board Nominee Re-
plies Sharply to Questions
by Brookhart.
~ the Associated Press.

~-~-~N---NNN
Eugene Meyer, jr., answered sharp
questioning before the Senate Banking
Subcommittee yesterday with the blunt
statement that he would sooner forfeit"
his job than to submit, before his con-
firmation, to an examination regarding
the policies he intended to pursue as
governor of the Federal Reserve Board.
The New York flnancier's statement
came in reply to Senator Brookhart,
Republican, Iowa, an opponent OF con-
firmation, who insisted upon his right
to question the nominee regarding Re-
serve Board policies. Brookhart blocked
subcommittee action by forcing another
session next week.
Sharp Words Exchanged.
Sharp words were exchanged over
the committee table, with the Iowan
declaring "the United States Senate
would say what questions are TO be
asked" and Meyer retorting he would
"a great deal rather forfeit my posi-
ton than prostitute my principles
and lower the dignity of my office" by
submitting to questions concerning flu
ture actions.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, New
York, upheld Meyer. Senator Carey,
Republican, Wyoming, chairman of the
subcommittee, said 1t was difficult to
draw the line between proper and i'm
proper questions. The latter, however,
expressed the hope the matter would be
amicably settled, although Brookhart
chung to his stand that he had right
TO learn the facts"
Carey denied charges by Brookhart
that the subcommittee was tanning
the nomination through" He agreed
%ith Wagner, however, that the non1i-
nation was an important one and had
been pending q long time.
Brookhart and Senator Fletcher,
Democrat, Of Florida questioned the
nominee at length regarding specula-
ton in Wall Street.
Meyer termed it mania" INDUCED
en by the whole country.
Answers General Questions.
Meyer answered general questions re-
karding the Reserve system. He said
he regarded its chief function to be
that of supplying an elastic currency
and seasonal funds as business expand
ed or contracted. He added he thought
the board had done its best to warn
people" against the orgy of specula-
tion," but added some people don't
want to be warned"
Meyer denied charges that he was re-
sponSible for three Joint Stock Land
banks going into receivership during
his two years service on the Farm Loan
Board from 1927 to 1929.
One of the banks, that at Kansas
City, he said, went into receiVership
before he went on the loan board. The
other two. at Cincinnati and Milwau-
kee, he added, "were practically bank
Tupt" before he became member. The
board today. in his opinion, was on a
"sound" basis.

Premier of Bad
 Girl" Palace
Comes Here After Record
 Run at Roxy Theater

The New England's premier of Vina Delmar's Bad Birl" will be at the Fox-Poli Palace Sunday, and the engagement will run for four days only. The Bad Girl" comes to the Palace from three sensa- tional weeks at the Roxy theater in New York city at record break ing business. Vina Delmar's sensational novel ssBad Girl" has often been called "an honest record, uncolored and unashamed, of the coming of Q baby"
 As such, it was read eagerly by hundreds of thousands who thrilled to the primitive vigor of the book, it's gusto, and the racy narrative tang of the tale that read like 2 personal account of the young couple next door. As climax to their reading, they found to their sur prise the heroine was not a "bad girl" in any sense, but was in re- ality the antithesis of the term.
 It is this latter interpretation of Miss Delmar's moral in writing the book that has been dramatized in the Fox film version which reaches the screen of the Fox-Poli Palace theater Sunday. Sally Eilers and James Dunn as the featured leads.
 Frank Borzage directed the pie ture. It was adapted in continuity and dialog by Edwin Burke, noted dramatist and writer of many past Fox successes.
 "We adhered strictly to the book in our treatment of Miss Delmar's sforvn ROrzape said while filming the novel, with one exception. We stressed the importance of present ing our heroine as a normal girl yearning only for the joys of wife, hood and motherhood that were riRhtfully hers"
 The exceptional supporting cast includes Minna Gombell, William Pawley, Frank Darien and many others.

| changes to seriousness when she falls madly in love with the man, and trembles lest he discover her deception.
 Supported by a young stock fa- vorite and New York stage star, Ralph Bellamy, Miss Chatterton makes a pu1sing, vivid thing of this interesting story. Bellamy makes his screen bow in "The Magnificent Lie," and seems destin- ed for even bigger things in the
 movies. He is a tall, handsome. sincere young actor who plays a difficult role with great insight and talant.
 Stuart Erwin displays an unex- pected ability in handling dra-
 matic role. The eager and bewil- dered comedian has transformed
 himself into a clever character por- trayer in this one picture. Up Pops the Devil," Para
 mounts comedy-romance also on this bill, has in it's cast nearly a dozen of the most capable roman
 tic and character actors in Holly
 wood.
 Skeets Gallagher, Stuart Erwin, SdLOAG AAAJoh ANOAAh0p and Norman Foster head the cast i, Others are Edward J. Nugent Theodore von Eltz, Joyce Compton Harry Beresford, Sleep N. Eat, and Guy Oliver.

 Masque theater in New York the

 Devil" Twin Feature

Ruth Chatterton displays a new versatility in a difficult and en- trancing role in her latest starring picture, "The Magnificent Lie," which will be on view at the New Garden Sunday, Monday and Tues- day. In a story that calls for a character of verve and spirit which changes rapidly to almost tragic drama, Miss Chatterton is superb, better even than she was in Sarah and Son." "Anybody's Woman" or "The Right to Love-"
 "The Magnificent Lie" again brings Miss Chatterton in a sing ing role, as a cafe entertainer in New Orleans who, playing out a wager, dupes a sincere young Ium- herman, into believing she is the girl he loves. Her playing, in- huenced by his unstinted trust,

the emotional role and she is ably supported by Ben Lyon, who plays the part of the poor scribbler who is deserted for 8 time, and in the end seems to her a rather good substitute. The ancient benefactor who is always in the offing to give help is played with splendid vivid- ness by Richard Bennett, father of the star. Dorothy Peterson, who is remembered in Mothers Cry plays Stephany's mother. The cast includes Raymond Midland, Maude Eburne, Doris Lloyd, Clara Blan- dick, Mae Madison, Edward J. Nu- gent and Paul Porcasi.
 The surrounding program is ex- cellent and Joe O'Keefe makes his first appearance before State au- diences at the console of the mighty Wurlitzer in a tuneful presenta- ton entitled "Organology."

EPISCOPAL MISSIONS
 UsE RIVER ROUTE,
 INSTEAD OF RAILROAD

Supplies for the Episcopal Mis- sions on the Yukon and Panama Rivers, and including a big river launch, are being shipped to St. Michael by ocean boats and from there freighted on the river this year instead of shipping them to Seward and over the Alaska Rail- road to their destination as has been done previously, according to the Rt. Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe, Bishop of Alaska, and reported by the Fairbanks News Miner.
 The supplies were brought in via St. Michael because of the high freight rates on the Railroad. Bi- shop Rowe expressed himself strongly in connection with the increase in Alaska Railroad rates and mtimated that should the rates remain unchanged next year all church supplies may be brot up the river.
 T object strongly to the whole thing" declared Bishop Rowe. "The railroad was not built to make money but to develop the resources of the country and it was we'll known that a deficit would be in cured every year. These present rates make development almost impossible"
 What he termed "unkind par ties' of Congressmen know more, in their opinion, than those who have lived in the country for a long time, but it is preposterous, to me-" said the bishop, that they should shape the policies of the Territory from knowledge gained on hurried trips"
 The whole country is affected by the increased rates, he believes, and he said they are going to make a very important difference insofar as tourist travel to the h. terior is concerned.
 The Government spends mil lions of dollars every year on far more unworthy projects than the Alaska Railroad" remarked Bishop Rowe.
 If the Alaska Railroad is to be run at all the bishop thinks the logical way would be to carry passengers and freight at such a rate as would tend to open up the country.
 T believe" he said, "the rail road will have a bigger deficit than ever before. I don't blame the railroad management here for this condition of affairs. I blame the congressman"
