Farley's Flying
Visit To Texas
Puzzling State
Political Observers Guess.

DALLAS, Tex. Oct. 1S.-UPl
The airplane junket to Texas OF
James A. Farley, postmaster gen
eral and distributor of Democratic
political spoils, has observers of
state and national party affairs in
the Lone Star state guessing.
Farley. accompanied by a marty
of administration leaders, arrives
here from Washington today for
a two day whirlwind visit. He will
attend the Arlington Downs horse
races, appear at the state fair
here and be feted at banquet on
the eve of his departure for south
Texas.
At San Antonio, he will be the
guest of r. W. Morrison. business
leader and delegate to the recent
London economic, conferences.
From there the Farley party will
| fly to Houston where city-wide
celebrations are planned.
FORGOTTEN MANI
Vice President John N. Garner,
forgotten man" of the national
party's affairs, will be on hand at
Fort Worth to welcome Farley. He
is sharing honors with Farley in
celebrations at the 100000
race track between Dallas and
Fort Worth, which is opened for
it's first meet under legalized
horse racing in Texas.
Many observers have said Far
ley's visit is to usher Garner back
to the political stage. The vice
president has been hunting and
fishing at Uvalde.
Farley's welcome to Governor
Miriam A. Ferguson and her hus-
band. James E. Ferguson, will fur
nish Texans enlightenment on the
political setup. The Fergusons are
unfriendly with many national
party leaders.
FERGUSONS SIGHTED
Maury Hughes, chairman of the
state Democratic committee, and
Representative Joseph w. Bailey,
Jr., of Dallas. made arrangements
for the Farley welcome here.
Ferguson, titular head of the
state party, was not counseled.
The presence of Anon G. Car
ter, Fort Worth publisher. as a
member of the official Farley par
ty has led to speculation the Fer
gusons will receive scant atten-
ton. Ferguson and Carter quar-
relied bitterly. The latter was plac-
ed in an embarrassing position
at a football game when Mrs.
Ferguson exercised her right as
governor and had Carter removed
from a box seat. Similarly, Carter
sighted the Fergusons at break
fast given here in honor of Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt while she
was en- route to the Pacific coast
by airplane.
The guest list at the Morrison
ranch includes Carter, United
States Senator Connally, Repre-
sentative Sam Rayburn. Garner
and other members of the Farley
party.

FERRY LOAN HIT
BY NEW SNAG

Officials Of the Chesapeake
Beach railway today suffered an
other setback in their attempt to
obtain a loan Of $425,000 with
which to finance a new ferry SER
vice across Chesapeake Bay.
The railway company, backed
by favorable decisions Of the
U. s. Supreme Court and the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
filed application yesterday for the
loan with the Public Works Ad-
ministration.
The application, however, Pub
lie Works officials said today,
would be returned because it had
to be submitted first through a
State administration. Maryland
as yet has no such officials, but
it was learned from a reliable
source today that one will be ap-
pointed within "a hours.
The proposed ferry service would
be beneficial to the District Of
Columbia and for that reason the
Washington Chamber Of Com
merce yesterday filed a brief with
the Public Works Administration
indorsing the project.

.K|DNAP SEARCH
CALLED OFF ON.
W|FE'SPLEA

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July
26 UN.S0.-The kidnapers Of
Charles F. Urschel, multimillion-
aire oil magnate, today were ex-
pected to establish contact with
the victims family as police and
Federal authorities were observing
a 24-hour halt in the investiga-
ton.
r. H. Colvin, head of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, or
dered his operatives last night to
suspend the search for a full day.
Sheriff's deputies likewise were di-
rected to withdraw temporarily
from the case to give the two ma
chine gun kidnapers of Urschel an
opportunity to communicate with
E. E. Kirkpatrick, associate Of the
missing man, who has been desig-
mated as temporary go-between.
Wife Grief Stricken
Authorities were withdrawn at
the request Of Mrs. Berenice Slick
Urschel, who witnessed her hus-
bands kidnapping on the sun porch
Of the UrSchel mansion Saturday
night!
Desperate and grief stricken,
Mrs. UrSchel promised today that
she would not prosecute if her
husband is returned safely. She
said:
81 am interested only in the
safe return Of Mr.. UrSchel, and
not in what happens to the
kidnapers after his return"
Before the investigation was
ordered halted last night, county
authorities broke the silence re-
quested by Urschel's family and
announced that they had several
definite "leads" in their search
for the gang.
Huge Ransom Asked
Despite the plea Of Mrs. Or.
Schel, reports persisted today that
a huge ransom had been de.
manded for the oil magnate's
safe return. This sum was vari.
ouSly placed at between $250,000
and $1,000,000. The prodigious
wealth of Urschel may lead the
kidnapers to name a staggering
ransom sum, authorities fear.
Two special delivery letters
were received at the home, giving
rise to reports that Urschel's cap
tors had communicated their de.
mandS by mail.
Although Kirkpatrick, acting as
temporary spokesman for the
family, said the letters did not
relate to the kidnapping, three
Sheriff's deputies left head
quarters on a hurried and un.
explained mission.

FAMOUS COMEDY
 TEAM IN A NE W HILL A RI0US FILM
50 This Is Africa with Wheeler, Woolsey Opens
 Tonight at Capitol

i Wheeler and Woolsey, mirth pro- voking comedians, in khaki shorts, pith helmets and plaid sock, wrap swhacking blows of satire at wild animal pictures in the funniest of their feature comedies yet pro- duced, So This Is Africa" which opens at the Capitol Theatre. to- night. r..a 1 50 This Is Africa" is a madcap story. Woolsey takes his inevitable cigar and Wheeler his cracking voice into the deep, dark. damp forbidding depths of the continent that has been eulogized on the screen in "Tarzan," Trader Horn and other famous movies, and. they both flag carelessly and upcontrol- ably about the jungle.
 Feature Picture
 This is not an, ordinary comedy and is definitely not mere slap stick but has more subtlety anc finesse than any feature picture yet made by these hilarious com edians.
 While. putting on a rather ter rible act in a honky tonky vaude' 1 vile house, with six lions they meet masterful blonde, Esther Muir, who wants to film anima, life in Africa, and they go right along. They find other lions ir Africa, lions who blow, trees dowr when they growl and a backward tribe, walking backwards as back ward tribles should.
 Wears, Night, Shirt
 In the middle of the night Wheeler walks right into the arms of beautiful, raven-locked Raque. Torres, a leopard-skinned Amazon girl. He walks right into her arms blindly, because he is walking in his sleep. They fall in love, and incidentally Wheeler has a night shirt during much of the picture, which brings about many ridiculous situations.
 The entire whimsical, wild, fan tastic film is a delightful antidote for depressions blues.

FISHERIES CODE

Plans have been made, SupJect to change, for openings of hear ings on the master code for fish cries under the National Recovery Administration in, Washington, on october 2l. A preliminary meet ing will take place October le
 An effort is being made on the part of some of the salmon pack CTS to have the salmon industry included in the National Gamers Association code, thus doing away with the necessity of a separate code. The smallest packers are represented as being opposed to any such move for the reason that they feel the National Gamers Association would have no particu-. lar interest in salmon and such an attitude would react adversely upon the salmon packers.
 Still others believe the industry can operate under the master code alone. Another group is holding out for a. specific code for salmon.
 Among the representatives Of the industry in Washington the past week were:
 H. B. Friele, vice president ana general manager. of the NaKat Packing Corporation and also press ident of Pacific Fisheries.
 Walter P. Shiel, manager of the salmon department of the Kelley- Clarke Go. of Seattle and chair man of the Committee on Depre-. ciated Currency of the Pacnic' Coast Salmon Brokers Association. E William Tfmson, president Of the Alaska Packers Association.

JACK HOLT AND FAY WRAY ARE
 STARS OF FILM
The Woman I Stole at Coliseum Tonight Is Drama of Oil Fields

No more expressing struggles between men and men and between groups and groups have marked any industry than those which have been part of the getting out of the worlds oil supply. And in the photoplay "The Woman l Stole" which opens tonight at the Coliseum Theatre, this is the basic theme.
 On the edge of a Moroccan desert, the Alianza and Pan Kan sas Petroleum Corporations are struggling over oil, and Jack Holt always fighter in his pictures is battling with Donald Cook over a woman-and the fair object of the struggle is the lovely Fay Wray.
 Then there is also a perfectly grand bandit general to stir things LID still further. He doesn't care which oil company he raids so long as he gets the loot And he's a jovial giant, a picturesque charac- ter played by the colorful actor, Noah Beery.
 And then there's a tempestuous, flaming little Spanish dancer to add piquancy and still further beauty to the general situation This is young Raquel Torres, well known through her last picture, 50 This Is Africa" with Wheeler and Woolsey.
 The Woman I Stole was adapt ed from the famous Joseph Herge- sheimer novel "Tampico." It is complete with color, sweep and ac- tion from beginning to- end! Irving Cummings directed.
