BANKER FA|NTS
At HEARING

John H. Waters, IA, president
of the United States National
Bank, Johnstown, Pa, collapsed
today while pleading at hearing
that his bank be reopened on the
basis of rs cents on the dollar.
Waters was taken to Emergency
Hospital unconscious, and it was
said his condition is serious.
The hearing was being held in
the Reorganization Division of
the office of the Comptroller of
Currency. Reopening of the bank
on any but a 100 per cent basis
was being fought by Eddie
McCloskey, Mayor of JohnStoWn.
The elderly banker was be-
lieved to have become exhausted
after months of worry and a
four-hour automobile trip here
today.
A great deal of bitterness, en-
gendered by the closing of the
bank, flared up at today's hear
ing.
The office of the comptroller
had sanctioned reopening of the
bank on a restricted basis, and
today's hearing was called on
demand of Mayor McCloSkey
who claimed that the $4,000
tied up by "slow" loans could be
collected and the bank opened
on a 100 per cent basis.

VENICE, Cal, Aug. 10 G.N.SO. {.
Jean Malin, noted actor and
master of ceremonies in New York
and Hollywood night clubs, was
killed, and a beautiful screen and
stage actress, Patsy Kelly, was
seriously injured today when Ma
Inns car plunged from the Venice
pier.
Jimmy Forlenza, actor, was
thrown clear of the car, but Suf-
fered broken collarbone.
Malin had finished his act at
the Ship Cafe. He became con-
fused and backed his automobile
from the pier.
Dives to Rescue
Screams of Miss Kelly were
heard by Blair Ross, a Venice life
guard, who dived to the rescue.
He made several dives before
he was able to break open a door
of the car and drag the uncon-
SclOuS actress to the surface.
Ross carried her to the beach
and then returned to save Malin,
who was pinned under the cars
wheel. He was dead when
brought to the surface.
Last Night of Malin"
BY weird irony of fate,
Malin's appearance at the cafe
last evening was advertised as
Last Night of Jean Malin."
Malin was master of cere-
monies in Sid Grauman'S pro-
logue to THE Gold Diggers of
1885," which had a longtime run
at the Chinese Theater.
Miss Kelly, % years old, came
here to play in a series of eight
comedies with Thelma Todd.

PHILLIPS GETS
CUBA'S REPLY
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Cuban Ambassador oscar CintaS
called on Undersecretary of State
Phillips at noon. 1t was believed
he brought President Machado's
reply to President Roosevelt's
suggestion toward ending strife
in Cuba.
Despite the forces of circum-
stance which appeared to be
pushing the United States toward
the brink of armed intervention,
the Administration today re-
manned strongly averse to this
drastic step.
Officials still maintained inter
vention was not contemplated
and would be considered only as
a last resort.
At the same time the American
Government delivered a second
warning to President Machado
that Ambassador Welles has the
full support and confidence of
President Roosevelt.
This followed word from
Havana that Machado had de-
clared a State of War in Cuba
and would refuse to talk with
Welles, except through the Cuban
Secretary of State.

President Roosevelt today
was asked to take a hand in
the District s controversy for
release of $1,5O0,O0O from the

COAL BARONS
STALL. NRA,
SAYS LEWIS
Miners Chief at Code Hearing
AssaiIs Chickering's and
marrow Attitude"
BY International News Service

Powerful financial and in
dustrial interests are seeking
to wreck the national recovery
program by a marrow and
indefensible attitude" " John L..
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America,
charged today at public hear
ings on the bituminous coal
code.
Urging single code for the
entire soft coal industry with a
30-hour week and SIS basic
daily wage, Lewis asserted that
the NRA offers the "only way
out" of the depression. He said:
"The recovery act, even more.
than the United States Con-
stitutiOn. is merely a body Of
principIes-the architects de-
sign for a new industrial edifice.
"Have we the necessary wis
dom and courage and patriot
ism to build according to these
plans? 1 believe we have but
am not quite as sure as 1 was
a few weeks ago when the
NRA was initiated"
Lewis indictment was aimed
primarily at coal barons of the
Great Appalachian and Northern
fields.
Fight on Labor Seen
The latter have waged a des-
perate fight against labor pro-
visions of the NRA and against
Federal control over their pro-
posed price fixing and tonnage
ALLEGATION plan. He said:
"The experiences of the past
few weeks have been disturbing.
1t is evident that in spite of
fluent lip service to the princi-
pies of the act, powerful indus
trial and financial interests are
adopting narrow and indie
fenSibIe attitude, which, if not
corrected, may well bring dis
aster.
"MOre and more the framing
of codes is a matter of pickering
and barter, of Surrendering just
as little as possible and grasp
ing as much as possible.
"They appear to have become
unconscious of the precariOuS
condition of our entire economic
system, and to be suffering from
the delusiOn that we are on our
way back to the conditions
which prevailed in the summer
of 1929.
'REBIRTH,' HIS HOPE
"This is a deIusiOn which, if
permitted to continue, will re-
suit in the economic suicide of
those who are the victims of it
and, at the same time, in de-

"rebirth." He continued:

STRUGGLE
NEARING
CRISIS
Trouble Rises in New Quarter;
Feeling in Congress Runs
High Against U. S.

HAVANA, Aug. 10 GN.S.).
The agitation for removal of
President Gerardo Machado as
Cuba's only path to peace
spread to the ranks of his
own supporters today as the
chief executive, entrenched be-
hind machine guns, stood fast
in his defiance of the United
States.
With the first signs Of real
dissension within the lines Of the
political parties aligned with the
President during the eight years
of his reign came rumor of an
uprising against his Dictator
ship in the important city OF
Manzanillo, Oriente Province.
Report Not Confirmed.
Reports of the rising in Man
zanillo, an important port with
a population of $1,000 and the
second largest city in the prov
ince reached here from Santiago
but could not be confirmed.
Sc eral factors gave rise to
belief that Machado'S own ranks
were crumbling beneath the
weight of internal opposition and
pressure from abroad, including
President Roosevelt's pointed
warning that political differ
ences must be subordinated to
the public need.
Chief among them was in
formation that a mixed commits
sion of members of Congress met
in secret this afternoon to prepare
a formal request that Machado
resign and turn his power over to
a successor enjoying popular re-
spect and loyalty.
Another was the belief of many
prominent observers that Presi-
dent Roosevelt'S message was
causing a drift away from Ma
chado by members of the liberal
party, among his staunchest sup
porters in the past.
SCdGC VI w dF CA1SGS
With all of Cuba remaining in
a socalled estate of war;" placing
the entire republic under control
of the army, President Machado
was called upon today to explain
the measure taken in a final at
tempt to break the "Strike re-
bellion" which has crippled the
nation. He said:
"It was merely a routine
measure following declaration
of martial law to insure great
or protection for our citizens"
Despite the fact the use of the
word "War" connotes more Seri-
GUS situation than that usually as
sociated with military rule, the
President said little Importance
should be attached to it.
The fact is, he declared, that the
nation has been placed under
martial law solely as a precau-
tionary measure, lest the general
strike foment revolutionary and
anarchistic upriSingS likely to en-
danger the security of the state
and the life and property of native
citizens and foreign nationals.

rule, the capital this afternoon

duce rows of statistics proving
how many times he has been

But we, simple minded folks
who make wishes on the first star
and cross our fingers when boast

It may not be true but then again
it might. Statistics prove he has
been right on some occasions. And
the other times-well there may
have been reasons why his prog
nostications didn't work.
It was with a real pang, there
fore, that we saw the sun today
shining clear and bright, with not
even the smallest cloud to prevent
little artomy monax from seeing
