PHYSICIAN SAYS
EVANGELIST HAS
SEVERE RELAPSE
Reported, However, To
Be Directing Temple
Reorganization.

LOS ANGELES, July 13. UP
Mrs. Aimee Semple Mcpherson Hut
ton was in a serious condition today
following a relapse. according to
her physician, DR.. Edward Hunting
ton Williams.
Ill In bed at her Moorish castle
at Lake Elsinore, the evangelist
suffered two severe nasal hemor-
rhages and lapsed into a coma last
night, the physician said Her con-
dition was attributed to striking her
head when she tainted Saturday
upon being informed Mrs. Myrtle
H. st. Pierre had obtained a $4,000
breach of promise verdict against
her husband, David L. Hutton.
DR.. Williams said she was in mo
apparent danger" today, but that
she would be confined to her bed
for several more weeks.
Mrs. Hutton suffered severe
conclusion when she swooned last
Saturday" said DR.. Williams, land
her relapse today was directly at
tributable to that"
The evangelist's condition was ag-
gravated by worry over the tangled
affairs of Angelus Temple, of which
she is the head.
Reported irregularities in the
management of the temple commits
sary led Mrs. Hutton to demand a
thorough investigation by the city
social service commission
Friends Of the evangelist said she
was directing a wholesale reorgan-
ization Of the temple staff from
her sick bed in her palatial Moor
ish castle at Lake Elsinore.
The reorganization was said to
have nothing to do with reported
split among temple followers over
Hutton.
Charge Donations Sold
Among the charges of mis-man-
agement attributed to commisSary
heads was one that solicitors for
the charitable organization were per-
mitted to sell supplies, donated for
the poor, and convert the proceeds
to their own use.
In support of this allegation, 1t
became known today that a detect
i've of the police department had
conferred with Robert Edward
Fisher, a commissary solicitor.
Fisher was said to have admitted
selling a quantity of sauerkraut
and two cases of salad dressing
which had been donated to the
commissary, but assertedly declared
that the foodstuff had been given
him in exchange for his services.
Fisher was to appear before the
social service commission today.
Reports that Roy E. Watkins,
Huttons subpoena server in the
breach of promise suit, had been
asked to resign were not confirmed.
Watkins, a stormy petrol in Angelus
Temple circles recently, was CEN
sured in superior court for asserted
ly having attempted to barter time
on the temple radio for commissary
donations.

WASHINGTON, July 13. - The
administration is convinced that
congressional and public sentiment
is strongly opposed now to even
one penny's reduction in Europe S
S11 900, 100000 war debts.
Latest evidence of this spirit is
senatorial reaction to reports from
London, later modified, that AM
erican envoys gave quiet assurance
that the United States would treat
its debtors literally if they forgave
German reparations. Senator john
son (Rep) California, bitterly at
tackled the administration debt
policy He especially denounced Sec
ret negotiations.
Secretary of State Stimson de-
MED the debtors had been given
any assurances. He insisted the
administrations war debt policy was
unchanged. This policy, briefly, is
mo cancellation, and collection to
the extent of capacity to pay"
Yet many administration leaders
are convinced that the war debt
system, like reparations, is built on
sand. Many of them doubt that
Europe, with the exception of a
few countries, will pay the 1930-33
debt installments totalling $27O ,OO0,-
900. And many more are sure the
grandchildren of present day Eur
cpeans are not going to pay for a
war that their forefathers fought.
The debt payments run for SO more
years
The belief is growing in some ad-
ministration quarters that settle
ment of the debt question may de-
pend on disarmament.

House have denied repeatedly that
American diplomats are trying to

WASHINGTON, July ia jok-
er has been discovered which serves
to protect congreSsmen's wives,
daughters, sons and other relatives
from the full force of the new
economy and pay reduction law
The entire house membership is
revising it's payroll in accordance
with the new economy act. But
congressman fixed the law SO they
could deal gently with relatives.
One middlewestern congressman
has even increased his wife's salary.
An eastern congressman has TAX
en- off one relative and substituted
another at higher pay.
Comparatively few wives and
other relatives are being dropped,
though the law frowns on double
family employment in other de-
partments. Full details Of these
changes will be reported later.
Despite the storm aroused by re-
cent United Press publication of
details concerning the way the FAM
ily payroll racket operates in con-
gress. most Of the 100 or more
members indulging in these prac-
tices are sitting tight. They are
waiting for the excitement to blow
over.
Despite the opening of the pay
roll records to inspection by house
resolution, despite the defeat OF
Senator Smith w. Brookhart (Repo
Iowa, partly because five other
Brookharts were on the federal pay
roll, and despite floods of indig-
nant letters from poverty stricken
constituents, the majority of con-
gressmen are taking courageous
stand OH this issue. They are stand
ing Loyalty by their right to hire
relatives. They took a cut of 10
per cent themselves.

contributions come slowly. The

Gold Rush Reported
In High Sierras

TRUCKEE. Calf. July 13. 0.P)-
The gold rush of 40 was being re-
enacted near Lake Tahoe today
following reports that ore had been
found on the Chambers resort
property which tested $40 ton.
Two hundred claims had been
staked out today in the stampede
to obtain choice claims before
guards went on duty to protect
the property.
Inasmuch as the resort company
owns all mineral rights it appeared
likely that most of the claim stakers
would be forced to withdraw.

Secretary Mills and Governor
Meyer left my office half an hour

me to say to the press associations

Glass said Mills and Meyer not

the amendment wider scope.
