Blonde Actress Sees
Malice In Naming
Her In Mixup

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6 QN.SO'
The county grand jury was to con-
tinue it's investigation today of an
alleged plot to mar the features OF
John Warburton, British matinee
idol and Hollywood film actor.
One of the witnesses of the in
vestigation was the petite Miss
Alice White, film star.
Disgusting, Says Alice
Before she entered the grand
jury chambers Miss White said:
"This is disgusting. Why my
name should be dragged into
the mess don't know.
Certainly I have no infOr-
nation which will throw any
light on the case, and 1 repeat
that any attempt to involve me
in it in any way is malicious"
Sydney Bartlett, Hollywood film
writer, Miss Whites fiance, re-
fused to testify, explaining:
"My attorney and / plan to
conduct an Independent probe
to determine the motive for
bringing my name into the case,
and until that is concluded,
prefer not to discuss the mat
ter"
DEFENDS MISS WHITE
'T don't so much mind this
for myself, although the story
palpabIy is as false as it is
bizarre, but I do object, and
StrenuOusIy, to Miss White being
brought into it.
eff my word isn't as good as
Blocks and Browns, that, it
seems, wOHI' be some kind of a
travesty on justice. However,
I'm not worried, for I have
nothing to worry about"
Bartlett referred to Martin
Block and Russell Brown, formerly
movie extras, held as suspects in
connection with the alleged beat
ing of Warburton. Block testi-
fled before the grand jury, but
Brown did not.
Bartlett ExOnerated
Deputy District Attorney Percy
Hammond indicated today that
Bartlett stands completely cleared,
inasmuch as he was not, in any
testimony given, connected with
the beating of Warburton.
Waiting to testify, Warburton,
accompanied by a friend, sat in
the grand jury ante-room. Across
the room sat Miss White and Bart
lett. There was no exchange of
words. Warburton and Bartlett
stared at one another.

WIFE Of KELLY
AN EASY GIRL
To HANDLE
James Emery Brooks Located
In "FIop House," Divorced
Wife After ~ Years
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN
Copyright, 1888. by International
News SerVice)

l.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 8.
Kathryn Kelly was always "an
easy girl to handle"-a kind, af.
fectionate daughter, according to
her father, James Emery Brooks
and "up to this" never caused him
any trouble.
In his room at lodging house
in West Reno Street, which ad-
vertiSes "rooms IS and so cents,
baths 20 cents" Brooks today con-
versed with International News
Service about his daughter, who,
with her husband, George ("Ma-
chine Gun") Kelly. goes to trial
in Federal Court next Monday ac-
cused of participation in the
100000 Urschel kidnapping. Brooks
says:
kelly was her downfall"
Divorced From Wife
Brooks, a man of about ST.,
with thinning brown hair and
Spectacles, married Kathryn's
mother-the present Mrs. Ora
Shannon-30 years ago. They
were divorced after living to-
gether "a years. Mrs. Shannon,
who later married r. G. "Boss')
Shannon, Texas rancher, is now
in the same county jail here
which harborS Kathryn.
Mrs. Shannon and six others
were convicted last Saturday by
a Federal court jury of participa-
ton in the conspiracy to abduct
Charles F. Urschel, Oklahoma
City oil millionaire. She is to
be sentenced tomorrow.
Lighting a preferred cigar,
Brooks sat on a bed and recalled
Kathryn'S past-What he knew
OF it. He repeatedly assured the
reporters she never caused him
any worry until this trouble"
Born In Mississippi "
To this stoop-shouldered father,
in the twilight of life, Cleo Kath-
ryn Brooks Frye Thorne Kelly is
not the notorious underworld
character whose name is spread
across the front pages of the
newspapers throughout the coun.

BRITISH To ASK
STERILIZATION
Of DOLLAR
Debt Experts, Here for ParIey,
Inject New Theme Into Talks
With Treasury Officials
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Something else besides mere
reduction of Great Britain's $4,.
O00,O0o,OOO debt to the United
States has been injected into the
current negotiations between
Treasury officials and the Brit.
ish financial m il S on, it was
learned today.
The British want the dollar
stabilized in relation to the pound
sterling.
1t Got Nowhere
They wanted stabilization in
London last June as a prelimi-
nary to the world economic con-
ference. They insisted then that
without sterilization the confer
ence could get nowhere. There
was no stabilization and the con-
ference got nowhere, although it
perhaps is debatable whether the
conference would have gotte n
anywhere anyway.
In any event, the British have
returned to the stabilization
front with renewed insistence
How much success they will have
remains to be determined, but
some Treasury officials are in.
clined to the point of view that
Stabilization at this time is de-
sirable.
They thought so, too, last
June, but President Roosevelt
thought otherwise.
Has the Last Word
Decision rests with Mr.. Roose-
velt. Congress has the final say
in the matter of debt reduction,
but in regard to stabilization,
the President has the last word.
Whether his views since June
have changed is not known at
the momnnt.
The President was unwilling to
tie the dollar to the pound last
June because he could not then
determine how much, if any,
initiation might be necessary to
get his recovery program into
high gear. The vest inflationary
powers reposed in him by Con
gress have thus far been unused,
May Mean Gold
But there are a good many
economists about Washington
who believe, rightly or wrongly,
that some degree of controlled
initiation will be necessary before
the domestic recovery program
can become as effective as its
sponsors hope.
The present dilemma, from the
administration viewpoint, is al
most precisely what it was last
summer.
If Mr.. Roosevelt ties the dollar
to the pound, he undertakes, in.
ferentially at least, to support the
dollar aboard. Should the dollar
drop, that would mean the export
of gold to meet the situation.

PROBE QUICKER
At HAND, SAYS
HURLEY
Hobson, "Chased 10 Days" "
Found; Pecora Bares Shrink
age in Rail Stocks
BY international News Service

Patrick j. Hurley, former Secre
tary of War, today became q
factor in the Senate stock market
investigation as counsel for
Howard Colwell Hopson, Public
Utilities magnate, who was said
by Chairman Fletcher to have
been CHASED for a month" by
committee investigators.
Hurley today told newspaper
men he would produce Hopson
whenever the committee required
him.
Fletcher said Pecora threatened
10 days ago to appeal to the
newspapers to find Hopson, and
that it was then that Hurley
entered the case. Fletcher said:
Representatives of the com.
mittee chased HOpsOn for q
month. After PecOra threat
ened publicity we found that
HOpsOn was in Chicago"
Rail Stocks PrObed
Huge investments in railway
stocks, that shrank tremendously
in value, were made by the U. S.
and International Securities Cor
poration, it was disclosed at the
hearing.
The corporation, controlled by
Dillon, Read & Co., invested S.
566, ,366.99 in common stock of the
Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific
railway and $5,820,983.39 in COM
mon stock of the st. Louis and
San Francisco railway.
With Ernest Bell Tracy, presi-
dent of the investment trust, on
the witness stand, Pecora showed
that the Rock Island stock was
carried on the books of the cor
poration at a value of $780,
366.99, while having a market
value of but $151,875. This meant
the investors in the U. S. and In
ternational had lost over $5,000,-
900 on this one investment by the
Dillon-Read corporation.
Tracy insisted the railway
stocks were sound investments
when bought in December, 1929.
He said the purchases were recon-
mended by the Keswick Corpora
ton, a research bureau. Then
Pecora brought out that the Kes-
wick Corporation was owned by
the two investment trusts and five
smaller corporations, all owned in
turn by associates in Dillon Read
&. Co.
Unloading Seen
Tracy told of forming two trad
ing accounts to buy the railroad
stocks. Dillon, Read and Com
pany participated in the accounts.
Senator Couzens (R) of Mich
igan said:
"SOme wise guy was unload
ing on yOu."
Pecora asked:
"WhO put up the funds for
these accounts?"
Tracy said:
"The U. S. and International
Securities Corporation"
"And Dillon, Read and Com
pany were getting half the
'profits?"
eyes, and would share half
of the losses"
Couzens said:

loaded this stock on you"
Tracy replied:

bought it."

FOR RECOVERY,

Gains in Business Cited as
Proof That Trend Is
In Right Direction
By international News Service

Recognition by the rank and
file Of labor of the patriotic CO
operation If the great majority OF
employers with the NRA program
was asked by Postmaster General
James A. Farley in an address to
day before the American Fedora
tion of Labor convention.
With serious labor disturbances
In Pennsylvania. Illinois AND
Ohio and minor labor troubles
cropping out throughout the re
mainder o. the notion, the plea
of the Postmaster General was
taken as the voice of the Admin
tstration.
Aid of Labor Asked
Farley said:
"Organized labor can make a
mighty contribution to the sue
cess Of this great movement by
continuing to exhibit, not only
on the part of leaders but
upon the part of the rank and
file, a recognition of the pa
tritic cooperation which the
great majority Of the employers
Of labor have rendered to the
Presidents recovery program.
"There can be no doubt that
great numbers of individual en-
plOyerS, great numbers Of indus
trial corporations and business
houses have increased wages and
lowered hours without knowing
exactly how they would find the
means with which to finance
this expansion.
eve must make this task
easier for them by repOsing
complete confidence in the good
sense and sound judgment Of
the loyal men and women to
whom the President has COM
mitted the administration Of
the National Recovery Act"
Postal Gains Cited
AS marking the turn of the
economic tide, Farley referred to
the definite and gradual. increase
of volume of business in the Post
Office Department. He said:
'Tt would be sad mistake if
we were too hastily to assume,
by reason of the satisfactory
gains of the last few months,
that our campaign of recovery
had attained its end"
At one point, Farley referred
to the warning of Benjamin
Franklin, first colonial Postmaster
General, to his associates in the
Continental Congress. He said:
"When he faced doubts as to
the wisdom of signing the
Declaration of Independence,
Franklin told them bluntly:
If we don't hang together now,
we are all most certain to hang
separately later"
Farley predicted continued mo-
mentum of the progress of the
NRA and listed the achievements
of the new deal to date. He said:
"ChiId labor has been abol-
iShed. Provision has been made
to relieve the strain upon the
owners of homes in carrying
their mortgages incurred in
more prosperous times.
Unemployment relief has
proceeded rapidly, and in many
sections of the country there
has been a substantial lessening
Of the demand.
CONFIDENCE URGED
"The banking system of the
country has been placed upon
q firm fOudatiOn. Credit is be-
ing released and the spirit of
confidence is gradually being
built up.

And that's another thing I
couldn't understand. Why did
they allow a man so unskilled in
the game of baseball as the Presi-
dent to play in the all-important
world series?
But that's what they did. I saw

should have thought they'd be
more careful about who threw the

imagined the first ball would be
thrown by our own Pitcher White

about that than I do.
After that. of course, the Giants
and the Mats played ball.
And another thing. I think it
was disgraceful the way the
Giants took out their first pitcher,
Mr.. FitzsimmonS, just because the
Mats were pulling in a few runs.
