Wynekoop's SO Girl Friends
Sought by Police

CHICAGO, Nov. Is G.N.SO.-
Having questioned three girls with
whom Earle Wynekoop associated
since he first wandered from the
side of his now murdered wife,
Rheta, police today were search
ing for some so young women
whose names he had recorded in
a little book.
Wynekoop's amorous extra-mar-
ital activities resulted in the ques-
tioning of Margo McHale, %;
Priscilla With, %, and Mary
Gerkin.
Counted the Names
Miss Gerkin, who refused to see
the young photographer after he
admitted he was married, told au-
thorities that in a confidential mo-
ment he produced the note book
which listed the names and tele-
phone numbers of so young
women.
Together they counted them,
Miss Gerkin said.
To Miss McHale, who displayed
a diamond ring given to her, she
said, by Wynekoop, the young man
told Of his unhappy home life"

Low DOLLAR

Two significant developments
in the American monetary situ-
alton were revealed today by
announcements of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The first was the statement
that Canada is retaliating against
the deprecated dollar. The sec
ond was the report that gold
holdings of the Bank of France
have practically doubled since
1929.
The Canadian Government has
proclaimed United States money
deprecated currency SO far as
customs are concerned. Therefore,
shipments from the United States
to Canada must now pay duty on
the par value of the American
dollar of 100 cents Canadian, in
stead of the current rate of
exchange.
Furthermore, in the case Of
goods also produced in Canada,
imports from the United States
will be subject TO additional
dumping duties equal to the diff
ference between the current ex-
change value and the par value.
Gold holdings of the Bank Of
France in August of this year
had increased to 3,233, ,O0O, 900.

CHARGES
FACE THOROUGH.
INVESTIGATION
PeCora Invites Hoover, Huston,
Hays and Others to Testify
at Banking Inquiry
BY international News Service

BY International News Service
Thorough investigation of the
startling charge by William Fox,
former movie magnate, that De-
partment of Justice records were
changed in the early days Of the
Hoover administration was de-
manded today as the Senate bank
ing inquiry recessed over tn e
weekend.
The Department of Justice was
involved in Fox's sensational story
when he said Louis B. Mayer,
California movie magnate a n d
Republican leader, told him the
records had been changed after
March 4, 1929, on a merger be-
tween Fox Films and Loew's Inc.
Fox said Mayer boasted of hav-
ing h d a favorable. report
changed to an adverse decision.
Subsequently, the Government
sued Fox under the antitrust
laws for having merged the two
companies.
Hoover Invited
Ferdinand Pecora, special Sen
ate counsel, meanwhile reiterated
his invitation to all persons named
by Fox in his testimony to appear
before the committee.
This invitation included former
President Herbert Hoover, to whom
Fox appealed against the Depart
ment's attitude on the Fox-Loew
merger.
The list further included
Mayer, Claudius H. Huston, for
mer Republican national commit
teeman; Will H. Hays, the movie
| industry's dictator; John Lord
OBrian, and William Thompson
assistant attorney generals in
Hoover's administration.
Senator Adams CD of Colo
RADIO, member of the Banking
Committee, demanded thorough
investigation of Fox's charges. He
declared Mayer, O'Brian and
Thompson should be subpoeaned
if they failed to appear volun
tarily.

JURY PONDERS
T0UHY' STATE

ST. PAUL, Nov. Is G.N.S0.-A
Jury of farmers, small towns
people and two housewives today
pondered a question about to be
put to them:
did Roger TOuhy and three
of his fellow gangsterS kidnap
william Hamm, jr., last June
15?"
The jurymen have two days in
which to turn over in their minds
the mass of evidence submitted
by prosecution and defense. an
adjournment having been called
until Monday. The jury will
probably receive its instructions
Tuesday morning, and return a
verdict before night.
The decision yesterday of Judge
M. M. Joyce to give the lawyers
for both sides two full days in
which to prepare their closing
arguments is looked upon as a
"'break" for the defense.
The Governments case. on the
basis of evidence, is weak-far
weaker than in the McElroy, Luer
and Urschel cases. It is the
closing argument in which Assist
ant Attorney General Joseph B.
Keenan, is expected to make the
Governments strongest bid for
conviction.
The convincing evidence by the
prosecution narrows down to a
farmer who identified Touhy, Gus
Schaefer and Eddie McFadden as
the occupants of the automobile
from which the millionaire brewer
was released 40 miles north of
here the morning of June 10, and
o dentist who declared Touhy
"reSembled" man who was in a
st. Paul drug store about the
time a note was dropped there
addressed to one of Hamm's aSso-
ciates and demanding 100000,
which was paid.

"He told me he had built an

refused to accept Rheta as a

MINERS HOMES
DYNAM|TED

Turmoil renewed itself today in

Three homes in the anthracite
region were dynamited, bringing
injuries to two persons. Eight
men and boys were wounded in

Almost simultaneously with
these outbreaks came an an
nouncement by Phil Murray, vice
president of the United Min e
Workers of America, that he will
protest formally the captive mine
election in Fayette county, where
the So-called company brother
hoods were victorious.
In the Scranton hard coal zone
a miner was injured by a falling
beam when his home was dynar

SMITH BARRAGE
FAILS To STIR
ROOSEVELT
Money Policy Is Unchanged,
RooseveIt's Only Reply
to AIS Statement

WARM SPRINGS, Ga. Nov. 25
G.N.SO .-Surrounded by close ad.
visors, President Roosevelt moved
serenely ahead with his monetary
policy today, ignoring concerted
attack by Alfred E. Smith.
Mr. Roosevelt's only reply to
the open letter of the 1928 Demo
cratic standard-bearer condemn
ing the Executives money pro-
gram was to make if plainly
known he had no intention Of
changing that policy.
Smiths Scalding inference that
the President was fostering "ba-
loney dollars" drew not a word
of comment from Mr.. Roosevelt.
MOrgenthau Also Silent
The Smith letter was inevitably
the subject of much conversation
within Little White House" walls
today. Acting Secretary OF the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, 1r..
who sees eye to eye with his chief
on every question of policy, was
there when news of the Slash1ng
attaca was received.
Morgenthau joined the Pres1-
dent in smiling silence when ques-
toned concerning his reaction.
Recovery Administrator Hugh
S. johnson and Assistant Secre-
tary of Labor Edward F.. McGrady
were here, too, in time to get first
news of the Smith letter.
Later in the day, William Bull
lit, this nations first ambassador
to Russia for 16 years, arrived for
a 24-hour stay.
RaSkOb Also a Caller
Still later, there was another
arrival-John j. Raskob, who
managed Smiths Presidential
campaign in 1928.
Prior to 1923 and for some time
afterward, Raskob was perhaps
the closest man to Smith in Demo
cratic circles. RaSkob came here,
it was explained, to attend cere-
monies marking the dedication Of
the newest building of the Geor.
gia Warm Springs Foundation,
Georgia Hall. He was to leave
today.
None of the Little White
House" guests but johnson would
comment on the Smith letter.
The NRA chief made one brief OBJ
servation. He said:
II don't know where Mr..
Smith got his knowledge Of
finance"

admiration for this public SER
