j. s. WORKERS MAP
SOLICITATION DRIVE
Officials Expect S96,686
Quota to Be Reached
Next Week.

Solicitation Of District government
employees for contributions to the Com
munity Chest budget for next year was
begun today with officials hopeful that
the District unit quota of 500, ,686 would
be attained before the end Of next week.
The signal to start solicitations was
given yesterday afternoon at a mass
meeting of campaign chairmen and
key men of each District division by
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, auditor and
chairman of the District government
unit.
An inspirational talk was given by
Frank J. Hogan, general campaign
chairman, who drew graphic picture
Of the good that comes to the aged, the
sick and the orphaned and crippled
children as a result of Chest contribu-
tions.
The 9,400 District employees, contrib
uting but an average of cents day
would more than fill the District gov
ernment quota, Maj. Donovan explained.
There is to be no coercion in solicita-
tion of District workers, he declared,
the giving to be left entirely on a vol
untary basis. At the same time, he
said, Government employees particularly
are class Of workers VINO should con-
tribute. To expect an average contribu-
ton of but 3 cents a day, he said, GER
tainly is not unreasonable.
Maj. Donovan pointed out that the
salaries OF District employees amount to
some Sl6 ,000, 900 q year. He said the
District government quota was based
on the pay roll, with allowances for the
is per cent cut in pay, now obtaining.
Maj. Donovan praised the District
employees for the extent and readiness
of their support for the Chest in former
years. He said the District employees
last year collected $123,000, or 99.5 per
cent of their pledges. So far this year.
he said. $50 900 has been collected, or
about 10 per cent of the 1888 pledges.
To illustrate the need of the Chest
budget success, Maj. Donovan said the
Chest agencies take care of those classes
OF the needy who cannot under existing
law be cared for under the emergency
relief funds. He showed also that the
overhead" expenses are very much
smaller under a consolidated appeal
through the Community Chest than
would be the case If each charitable
agency conducted its campaign sep
arately.

WOMAN IS QU|zzED
IN HART KIDNAPPING
Dragging for Body Continued.
San Francisco Crowd
Shouts "Lynch Him."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 18.-
Dragging for the body of Brooke L.
Hart, %, in San Francisco Bay, near
the spot where kidnapers allegedly
hurled him from a bridge, was carried
ON with renewed hopes today.
A cement block and q coil Of wire
were brought to the surface by grap-
pling hooks. Hart, weighted down with
blocks similar to the one found, was
thrown from the bridge several hundred
feet from where the cement and wire
were tossed into the water, according
to James M. Holmes and Thomas H.
Thurmond, who, authorities said, con-
fessed the kidnapping and staying.
Cries of lynch him" were shouted by
persons in a crowd gathered outside
San Francisco Department Of Justice
headquarters as Thurmond, who had
been taken there for questioning, was
brought out to be returned to the prison
last night.
Despite the cries, guards easily cleared
a path through the crowd and Thur
mond was hustled into an automobile
and driven away.
> A woman, identified as an acquaint-
ance of Holmes, was questioned by
Sheriff William Emig OF San Jose Emig
said he believed Holmes and his wife
had separated recently because Of an
other woman. The officer said he did
not believe any one except the two men
was directly involved III the crime.
Under the new California law death
or life Imprisonment are mandatory in
cases where an abduction victim re-
eeives bodily harm.

HUGE CHASE LOAN
EVIDENCE Barred
500, 900, 900 to Float Thea
ter Holding Company Given
Study by Pecora.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
New evidence that the Chase Ma
tional Bank and It's affiliate, the Chase
Securities Corporation, advanced more
than 500 1000, 600 from 1929 to 1891
to finance floating of a giant theater
holding company, now in feceivership,
was analyzed today by Senate investi-
gators.
Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the
Senate Stock Market Committee. took
the data with him TO New York for
study over the week end. This part
of the transactions, involving General
Theaters Equipment, Inc, will be
brought out when hearings resume
next week, investigators said
Meanwhile, they we're trying to ng-
ure out circumstances surrounding a
81 600 900 payment to William Fox in
connection with the acquisition of a
camera manufacturing concern.
Gathered by Clarke.
The companies controlled by General
Theaters-including Fox Theaters Cor
poration, Pynchon & Co., New York
Brokers, and West 81 Co., Philadelphia
bankers-were gathered together by
Harley L. Clarke. But investigators
said his explanations of prices were con-
light ~, ut on the payment to Fox.
Chase Bank officials said they would
present evidence that while the bank
and its affiliate had taken huge losses
in the financing the loans ave been
written down to point where they were
more than covered by collateral.
Disclosure of the magnitude of Chase
financing in General Theaters was made
after several hours effort to untangle
some of the earlier negotiations leading
up to formation Of the holding COM
pany.
Evidence Is Amplified.
The statement of investigators about
Chase advances to General Theaters
amplified evidence presented last week
that the bank had loaned more than
$40, 100000 to syndicates handling Cen
eral Theaters and Fox Film securities
during 1929 and 1880.
The evidence did not disclose any
of the details, however to show how
much of this money had been lost,
the amount repaid, or the value of the
collateral.
Murray Dodge, vice president Of the
Chase Securities Corporation at the
time, told the committee he did not
know the circumstances of the Fox
transactions, but understood Clarke
had run UP against competition from
Fox In buying the. camera company.
The camera company was bought
by a corporation known as Grandeur
Incorporated, half owned by Fox and
half by G. T E. 1t was given exclusive
