STRAND ThEATER
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

A lively comedy-drama that ex-
poses the ballyhoo racket and
which is alive with personality.
1.-THE Half Naked Truth" parallels
some of the real-life exploits of the
late Harry Reichenbach, generally
conceded to have been the most
spectacular press agent Broadway
ever knew. Lee Tracy plays the
role of the press agent. Lupe Velez
plays opposite him as the girl who
became famous through high pres
sure publicity.
1t was Reichenbach who conceiv-
ed the idea of having lion
brought in a trunk to hotel room
occupied by Mr.. T. R. Zann. At
ter this story "broke." it was re-
vealed that ct. r. Zann" was
none other than Tarzan, which at
that time was the tale of silent
motion picture about to open on
Broadway.
He also had tanbark placed on
the streets outside the house being
occupied by Mrs. Pat Campbell,
noted actress. There was a great
hullabaloo about that. The excuse
was that Mrs. Campbell's sensitive
ears could not stand the noise of
the rumbling traffic. The pub
lieGy which accrued from that
stunt went into reams.
Supporting Tracy and Miss Veiez
in '"The Half-Naked Truth" which
is showing tonight at the Strand
Theater, are Eugene Palette, Frank
Morgan, Shirley Chambers. Mary
Mason and Robert Mckenzie.
Gregory La Cava directed.

OBrien Busy With
Aviators, Cannot See
JObless Delegation

NEW YORK.-Mayor O'Brien was
too busy joy-riding with the Molli-
sons, British aviators, to see dele
cation elected at the Battery Park
anti-war meeting to see him and de-
mand adequate relief for the unem-
ployed
The delegation, headed by Robert
Minor, on reaching the City Hall
was met by police lieutenant, who
urged the delegation to see Frank ]
Taylor, Commissioner of Public Wei
fare, instead of the mayor. The dele
cation fatty refused and insisted on
seeing O'Brien.
THE mayor is with Captain and
Mrs. Mollison," OBrien's lackey in
formed the delegation. "Why do you
want to bother the mayor? He can't
do anything for you"
Several of the workers in the dele
cation whose relief is cut off de-
clared that it was useless to see Com
missioner Taylor, and angrily de-
clared that it was the mayors job
to see representatives of the starving
unemployed instead Of going JOY
riding with the British aviators.
Urged to leave the City Hall, the
delegation remained, after an inter-
view with the mayors secretary, and
then left, announcing that they would
be back and demand that Mayor
OBrien see them. The mayors Sec
rotary refused to arrange a definite
appointment.

BUDGET HIGHEST
IN ITS HISTORY
To Build 36 Warships
and Eight.NeW. Air,

TOKYO, Aug. 1.-Japan's August
LIST answer to Americas big naval
program is the highest naval and
army budgets in Japan's history.
The combined appropriations for
next year total $347, 100000, and
represent 45 per cent increase over
the current budget.
The naval program provides for
the building of sc new battleships,
at cost of $50, 100000 to match
Secretary of the Navy Swanson's
program of 81 new warships for the
U. S. 1t also provides another $21,-
100000 to modernize existing ships.
The total navy estimate is $780,
100000, one-third higher than the
largest previous allotment, and
$34,000,000 higher than was recently
predicted. The army estimate is
$156, 100000.
The two together make a deficit Of
$3.50, 100000 in the total government
budget of $644,000,oO0
In addition to the SO battleships,
which include two aircraft carriers,
two cruisers, IA destroyers, six sub
marines and one mine-layer, the
navy is also planning to add eight

NEW YORK.-On a day or record

pledged themselves to struggle against
FasciSm and war, and for defense
o the Soviet Union.
Gathering at four distant mobili-

They maintained unbroken pro-

spite an extraordinary massing Of

Cops Drive Delegation
From Cuban Consulate

NEW YORK. - The delegation
elected by the demonstrators in front
of the Cuban Consulate yesterday
was refused a hearing by the consul
and hustled out by cops.
Fifteen mounted and so foot police
lined the streets as the workers dem
onstrated. Speakers from the Anti
Imperialist League, the Julio Mella
Club, the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, the Workers Ex-Servicemens
League, and the Communist Party
addressed the meeting before the del
egation was elected.
In the consul's Office Betincourt
one of the assistants, said the consul
refused to receive the resolution; he
wanted it mailed to him. Robert
Dunn, national chairman of the
Anti-Imperialist League, and chair
man of the delegation, began to read
it. AS soon as he began, four cops
started hustling the delegation out,
while is consulate assistants looked
on with scared faces.

1000 OUT
in CHELSEA
Shoe STRIKE
Leaders of National
Union Are Forced to
Arrange Picketing
BOSTON SURE TO JOIN
Demand Wage Raises
Denied by Board of
Arbitration

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 1. -
Two thousand shoe workers of
Chelsea, Mass, declared a gen.
eral strike in the shoe industry
of that city last night. The
strike starts today, which is the day
that the agreement Of the bosses
with the National Shoe Workers As
ISOLATION expires. Mass pressure of
the rank and file of the workers
forced the leaders of the National to
arrange for picketing this morning.
In frantic effort to head off the
strike of 1000 Boston shoe workers,
officials of the National union adj
journed mass meeting here today
to prevent strike vote. The pro-
posal of the officials was to extend
the present agreement, which ex-
pires today, for two more weeks.
Strike votes are scheduled for to-
night, in spite of the officials, with
workers voting in separate locals.
Shoe workers of Lynn are now
also on strike, but the number has
not yet been estimated.
When the shoe workers of New
England went out in general strike
last March, the Lovestoneites, Jonas
and zeligman, and their allies Mahan
and other leaders Of the National
union, got the workers to give up
their demand for 20 per cent wage
raise, to go back to work, and to rely
on the decision of the state arbitra-
ton board
On June 18th the State Board
handed down two decisions: one a
flat 1872 per cent increase in back
pay to last from April 20 to June II.
and, after that, wages figured on a
price list effective in Lynn in 1928.
For the largest number Of workers
this decision meant cut in wages.
The stitchers of Boston were the only
group that refused to accept the de-
cision, as result of which the shoe
bosses granted them IS per cent
raise until August l, and other i'm
provements.
