COURTS PEEvE
FILM ACTRESS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3. up =
Courts are the places where one
loses ones dignity, not ones hus-
band.
That's the way Kathryn Carver,
screen actress, felt today after a fu-
tie two-hour Cooks tour" of the
hall of Justice yesterday in search
of a jurist who would hear her di-
Torce complaiits against Adolphe
Menjou, suave screen player.
The actress was weeping bitterly
and Foandly beraIing newspaper
photographers with such names as
"leeches" by the time she and her
attorney left the court house, di-
vorce still week away.
Miss Carver left a sick bed to
visit Judge Isaac Pacht's court to
describe Menjcu's asserted acts of
mental cruelty. Judge Pacht de-
clined to hear the suit on the
ground that no affidavit in support
of an early hearing had been filed.
Then she went to the county
clerks office to obtain the affida-
Wit. 1t was refused. She called upon
Presiding Judge Hartley Shaw in
the hope he would assign another
judge to hear the case. Judge Shaw
declined to do SO.
Greatly nettled, Miss Carver bur-
led her tears on the shoulder of her
lone witness and departed.
Menjou is not contesting the &C
ton, which is expected to go by
default after routine testimony
some time next week.

GREEN ENTERS
FILM DISPUTE

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 3. W.P) =
The American Federation of Labor
stepped into the strike OF film tech
nicians today, and through Presi-
dent William Green, sought to set
tie dispute between two unions
which claimed jurisdiction over
sound engineers who brought on
the walkout.
Green, in a telegram to Richard
j. Green, representative of tine In
ternational Alliance of Theatrical
and Stage Employees, said
"Will confer with representatives
of the international Brotherhood
Of Electrical Workers regarding con-
troversy referred to- Sorry indeed
to learn of the deplorable condi-
tion which has arisen in connection
with the strike in motion picture
studios. Will urge officers of I. B.
E. w. to take action Immediately
and to be helpful in every possible
way"
Producers claim the strike of
4O0O men was brought on by re-
fusal of the two unions to agree on
what organization the cound engi-
neers were members. The unions,
on the other hand, claim long
hours and poor pay was respon-
sible for the strike. which sent cam
eramen. projectionists, laboratory
workers and studio mechanics in n
sympathetic walkout.

YOUTH ADMITS
Staying BOY
Recent High School Graduate
Says He Killed Dalbert Apo
shian In San Diego.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 3. U.P)-Re-
freshed from a sound nights sleep,
Philip Charles Edwards, 19-year-old
self-confessed killer of Dalbert Apo
Shan. was rushed to secluded
spot by officers this morning ap-
parently for further grilling.
A representative of the district
attorneys office was among the
group, presumably to take down a
confession. A complaint was ex-
pected to be made against the
youth by noon charging him with
the brutal Staying of little Dalbert.
The youth was surprisingly cool
this morning, reiterating to police:
"Yes, did it. My story is accu-
rate. / don't wish to change it.
I've had a good nights sleep and
feel fine"
Meantime navy divers and police
were dragging the bay for small
jar which Edwards claims contains
the butchered parts of the boys
body.
Mrs. Helen Graham, mother OF
the boy, declared she was convinced
that he could not have committed
the murder. Pointing out that he
had always been of gentle dis
position, she said that she could
account for his action on the day
that Dalbert Aposhian disappeared
and for three days thereafter.
Edwards was normal in every
way so far as his high school
teachers can determine.
His record was ordinary when he
came here,' John Aseltine, high
school principal said today. "Af-
ter he had been here awhile, his
work became better and the last
semester it was especially good. I
might say that it was surerior.
1.-THE boy otudied chemistry, but
so far as I know he did not study
physiology or any of the biological
sciences. I have never received
any report that would show he act
ed queerly. He was never guilty of
either misberavior or delinquency
as .ar as can determine"
Meantime police declared that
Edwards had come into the police
headquarters on the morning that
tposhian's body was discovered :
but before the 5iscovery-and given
them a "tip" that he had seen tic
boy in Car with man as the
machine sped past his none. Po-
lice were certain that Edwards wa

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. ;U.Pj-In
an effort to make air travel 100 per
cent safe, the Federal Airways
System, will install a map Ser;.ce
at important terminals showing
wind direction and velocity at var
ious levels up to $4,000 feet.
Upper air data is transmitted ov-
er department of commerce tele-
typewriter machines and the maps
are made up from this information
at the points where they are to be
distributed to the pilots.
Besides being of value in max
i ing aeronautical weather forecasts,
knowledge of the upper air condi-
tions enables the airman to select
the altitude at which he may fly
with the most favorable winds, or
choose the better of alternate
routes.

State Will Aid
On Sales Tax

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 3. <U.R =
California merchants will be given
every possible aid in devising means
of passing the sales tax on to the
consumer, Professor Roger Tray
nor, tax administrator for the state
board of equalization, said today.
1.-THE act provides that the tax
must be collected from the consum-
er to the fullest extent possible"
Traynor said.
"The method of collecting the tax
from the consumer is a problem
which rests primarily with the re-
taller. The board of equalization
will render every assistance possible
to the retailer in meeting this prob
lem."
Traynor pointed out that it is a
misdemeanor for any retailer to ad-
vertise or hold out in any manner
directly or indirectly that he is
absorbing the tax.

ANOTHER STEP
TAKEN To AID
RECOVERY ACT
President Creates Statistical
Agency To Guide Economic
Planning. 4
POWERS TO BE BROAD
Will Be Able To Allocate Pro-
duct;on In Industries If
Deemed Necessary.
BY II. O. THOMPSON


copyright, 1889, BY United Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. = Gre
alton of unified federal statistical
agency to help guide national re-
ccyery and chart future economic
planning was revealed today.
The agency will be known as the
central statistical board. 1t was
created by an executive order of
President Roosevelt.
It's establishment is another step
In the effort toward making the
United States balanced economic
unit, held together on a prosperous
basis by stabilized production and
consumption.
One of its long range results may
be, II the necessity arises, an allo-
cation of production under which
industries could be regulated in a
manner similar to the present cot
ton crop curtailment program.
The central statistical board will
be an immediate aid to the Ma
tional Recovery Administration
Statistics showing the extent of re-
employment, amount of wages add
ed to the payrolls and other peril
nent data will be collected in a far
more thorough manner than is pos
sible under existing arrangements.
The secretaries of labor, interior,
agriculture and commerce, the gov
elnor Of the federal reserve board
and the national recovery admins
traitor each will appoint one mem
Der of the board.
While the appointments have not
been announced, the makeup of
the board probably will be as fol-
llows:
NRA, DR.. Alexander Sachs; agri-
culture, DR.. Mordecai Ezekial; in
} terror, F.. G. Tryon; commerce,
William l.. 1. Austin; labor, Isidor
Lubin; reserve board, Winfield Rie-
fler.
The board will be a central sta
tisticai agency for which there has
been no parallel in American his
tory.
Statistics have been gathered by
the various departments but they
have not been correlated and the
years Of depression have accentu-
ated the fact that there are no sat-
jsfactory statistics for a variety of
important subjects, such as water
and truck transportation, month to
month fluctuations in wages and
employment, consumers purchasers,
consumers credit, rental costs, week.
ly wholesale price changes and pro-
duction statistics for articles which
go into the home such as clothing,
hardware, packaged and bulk foods.

FLOOD
CAUSES Loss

Bursting Dam Sends Wall Of
Water Through City Early
This Morning.
NO DEATHS REPORTED
Warning Of Danger Broadcast
In Time For People T6 Flee
From Homes.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 8. UR-
Denver IS worst flood in history
swept down upon the city today,
endangering life and causing thou
sands of dollars damage as water
swept over miles of the city terri
tory.
Breaking of Castlewood dam,
great irrigation project at the head
waters of Cherry creek, following a
cloudburst last night, sent a wall
of water nearly 20 feet high down
the creek, which winds through
Denver s finest residential district
and along the edge of the business
district.
So far as could be learned, there
was no loss of life in Denver prop
er. At small villages along the
stream above this city telephone
operators reported they feared that
some farm houses had been swept
away. Hundreds of head of live
stock were believed drowned
Bridges along the course of the
stream were swept away or badly
damaged Along the edge of the
downtown district three bridges
were gone.
Water raced waist-deep through
the streets of the wholesale busi-
ness district in the southwest sec
ton of the city. The railroad yards
were flooded and water stood in the
union station.
Easements of hundreds of homes
were flooded. Debris-laden water
poured over carefully kept lawns OF
Denver's finest residences.
Police and firemen blocked doz-
ems of streets and permitted no
traffic over bridges across the
creek.
| The flood struck at about 6:15 a.
m. However, the city had been
warned some time before, and most
| danger spots had been evacuated.
! Within few moments the stream
was turned from mere trickle to
a raging torrent, roaring over the
20-foot banks of the creek.
Hundreds watched from nearby
streets as the flood approached its
crest.
The crest of the flood was reached
at about a. m. although the stream
receded only very slowly after that
time.
Great sheets of mud were left
on streets and lawns. Trunks of
trees, packing boxes, debris of ev-
cry kind, Uttered the streets.
Street car traffic was stalled for
hours Hundreds of automobiles
were mired. Power lines in many
sections of the city failed.
The beautiful sunken gardens
maintained by the city in the park
ings along the creek at various
points were ruined.
How many thousand acre feet of
water were released by breaking of
the dam was not known. Hugh
Payne, caretaker of the dam, saw
the break occur. He rushed to the
telephone at Castle Rock and
spread the warning to Denver and
the valley below.
DENVER, Colo. Aug. 3. W.R--
