SAYS ACTORS
AID RADICALS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8. U.P)-
Congressional investigation into
the activities of Communists and
Silver Shirt groups was ended to-
day with the declaration of Capt.
of Detectives william F. Hynes
that large contributions to the
Communist party are coming from
famous Hollywood actors.
Hynes, appearing before a star
chamber session conducted by Con-
gresham Charles Kramer, did not
elaborate on his charges other
than to say the contributors were
wealthy and not all foreign born.
Yesterdays session was devoted
to a survey of radical activities in
Los Angeles. Findings were kept
secret following a wave of pub
licity given to charges of marine
intelligence officers that a large
group of Silver Shirts were in
armed training near San Diego
and had planned on one occasion
to seize the city as a step toward
replacing the present national
government.

New York Stocks

NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Up)-In-
flation Interpretation of the treas
ury order Matchmaking silver today
sent the stock market soaring l
to more than points. brought
sharp gains in all commodities,
sent bonds downward, and brought
a sharp break in the American dol
lar.
Secretary AIorgenthau announc-
ed his silver program almost SIM
ultaneously with what Wall Street
construed as a pearish speech by
President Roosevelt. It took con-
siderable time for traders to reach
definite conclusions on the two
items and markets see-Sawed for
an hour or more. Then in the fin
al hour, there was a rush to buy
stocks. Tickers fell behind as
much as 3 minutes and prices shot
ahead in all divisions.
Silver mining issues were the
first to gain. U. S. Smelling
reached 1873 up So points; Amer
lean Smelling 38l2 up 8: Cerro De
Pasco 41 up 123; and Howe Sound
55 x up ! point. International
Silver, which has large silver in
ventory, spurted 8 points to 81. Cop
per shares followed the silvers into
higher ground. Gold mining issues
also appreciated.
Stocks Of other groups that would
benefit in initiation were bid up.
American Can rose 1 points to 9712
and gains Of l to 3 points were
noted in American Sugar Refining,
Case. California Packing (the lat
ter at a new 1884 high; CONNER
cial Solvents, Corn Products, Great
Western Sugar and q. S. Rubber
issues.
Wall Street was prone to regard
the silver plan as a sop to the sill
yer interests. 1t made a favorable
impression on such a staunch sill
yer advocate as Senator Thomas
who praises it highly. The plan is
not regarded as inflationary in its
present form, although Europeans
interpreted 1t sS the beginning OF
an orgy OF printing press money,
q kind Of money that Europe fears
a it has had sad experience along
that line. Europeans sold the dol
lar heavily and the pound sterling
reached $500 while the French
franc crossed 6.67 cents, bringing
the dollar below parity in gold
terms.
Stock sales approximated 1920
900 shares against 100000 shares
yesterday.

SECOND SUIT
MAKES CLAIM
To PRIZE CAR

Delivery of a Chevrolet automo-
bile or damages in the amount of
$779.90 are asked in an action filed
in superior court this morning by
Perry Bortner, the National News
paper Service, ct al, naming the
Democrat Publishing Co., Inc, F.
w. Greer and Mrs. F. w. Greer,
and the Security First National
Bank of Los Angeles, Brawley
Branch, as defendants.
The plaintiff Bortner alleges in
his complaint that on July IA, the
judges in a subscription contest
conducted by the defendant paper
awarded first prize to him. He al
legeS further that prior to the close
of said contest Greer, as editor and
manager of the newspaper, and the
National Newspaper Service, depos-
tied with the defendant bank a
sum of money sufficient to purchase
the prizes offered.
Subsequent to the awarding of
said prizes by the judges, it is as
serted, plaintiff made demand of
the National Newspaper Service
and of the Democrat Publishing
Co., for delivery to him of the au-
tomobile in accordance with the
award of the judges and that the
defendant Democrat Publish n g
company refused and still refuses
to deliver 'the same to him or to
use the funds deposited for the
purchase of this automobile.
Bortner states that the service
agreed to award this first prize to
him and signed check drawn on
the Brawley bank to pay for the
car but the defendant Democrat
Publishing company refuses to sign
this check.
Another complaint asking that
this first prize be awarded to her
was filed in superior court yester-
day by Emily May Adams. In it
the claim is made that she won
the greatest number of votes in
the contest

HEAT TAKING
HEAVY TOLL
Death List Mounts As Terrific
Hot Spell Continues To Bake
Extensive Area.
BY FRED MYERS
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 9. = With al
most 100000 American families
already doomed to the catastrophe
of a century. a molten sun rocket
( ed temperatures to new heights
today over two-thirdS of the ma
ton
Only scattered showers early to-
day and a weather bureau predic-
ton that a blanket of cool air may
spread southwark from Canada
brought hope to Sweltering mil
lions. Rains during the night in
Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa brought
only a few hours of comparative
comfort.
Death followed the sun across
the stricken territory. A toll of
more than 1000 human lives, taken
by three months of almost uninter-
rupted heat, grew with every hour.
Hospitals in Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City, Wichita and dozens
of other metropolitan areas were
filled with sufferers. Unofficially
1t was estimated more than $50
persons died of heat-induced heart
failure in "a hours.
The hard-baked earth. radiating
stored-up heat in shimmering
waves, aided the sun in boosting
temperatures even above those of
yesterday, when all time records
fell from Louisiana to California.
At Ottumwa, Iowa, a high pres
sure area drifted down from Can
ada offered a little hope that yes
terday's lis degrees-highest re-
corded in lis years-would not be
surpassed.
High Marks Set
Omaha saw the mercury simmer
again toward the l10-degree mark.
1t was lo8 yesterday in Kansas
City, Mo-. 100 in Topeka, Kans,, LOG
in st. Louis and Lincoln, Neb., ITO
in Des Moines and 108 at Spring
field, Ill.-another all time record.
Today threatened to bring even
more intolerable conditions at vir-
tually every point.
Through the great wheat and
corn belt-acroSs Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska-the toll
in crop damage was terrific.
Experts say it has passed S200O,-
100000 this year.
The last seven days have dashed
virtually every hope that the broil-
ing countryside might recover, even
with a period of real gully-wash-
ers, from six months of drought.
In the week temperatures ran from
5 to 80 degrees above normal. Over
eight states the temperature av-
eraged closed to 100 degrees, and
in many places never fell below
that mark.
Rain fell only locally and so
lightly as to be of no value.

NATIONALIZES
ALL SILVER
CONTINUED From Page II

in an executive order issued by the
President under terms of section 7
of the silver purchase act OF 1884
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., secretary
of treasury, said the nationaliza-
ton was made necessary because OF
the rising cost of new silver and
because the treasury could not pay
more than SO cents per ounce for
the metal
Decision, he said, to nationalize
the silver came when quotations
reached 495 cents at II O'Clock
(EDT) at New York.
The proclamation authorizes the
mints to seize all silver in the
United States on August 9. They
are directed TO deduct for seignor-
age and t,her expenses 81 o-25 per
cent of the silver received and re-
turn to the depositors an amount
equal to the monetary value of the
balance.
Payments will be made in STAN
dard silver dollars, silver certifi-
Gates or other United States cur
rency.
The payments are equivalent to
50.01 cents per fine troy ounce.
The executive order specified that
all silver must be delivered to the
mints within 80 days.
A few exemptions are made.
These include foreign and domestic
silver coins, silver ore, silver owned
by foreign governments and for
eign central banks and silver in
fabricated articles.

HOUSING ACT
CONSIDERED
BY CHAMBER

Last evenings chamber of COM
merce dinner meeting was given
over to a discussion of the provis-
ions of the national housing act,
with President w. H. Tyler presid-
ing.
1t was brought out during the
meeting that if money might be
made available for repairs or re-
modelling of homes in Ell Centro, 1t
would not only add to the comfort
of the occupants but it would do
a great deal to restore the build
ing industry to its former activity.
One of the matters discussed was
a survey of the city to ascertain
the need for repair, renovation
and remodeling of its residences
and it was urged that if possible
SERA forces be used for the pur-
pose of making this survey. These
governmental agencies in other
cities throughout the country have
been so employed and in many To-
calities a complete canvass has
been made and the conditions and
needs of every dwelling house re-
corded.
Speakers on the subject last eve-
ming were: w. w. McEuen, George
Bennitt, Everett Minor, M. O.
King. Charles E. SoneS, j. Duke
Johnson, and several others.
BY vote Of those assembled
President Tyler was requested to
appoint a city-wide committee to
work upon the housing project ano
the city survey.
Consideration was given to the
housing needs in Ell Centro's east
side and the suggestion was pre-
sented that under the national
housing act it might be possible to
construct modern low-rental ten
aments, to supplement the eastside
dwelling houses. Improved living
condition on the eastern half OF
the city and the removal of fire
hazards there would be one of the
factors considered by President Ty-
ler,s committee which he promised
to appoint without delay.

Twenty jabbering monkeys roll
licked in a man-made paradise to-
day, unable to know their brief
holiday was a prelude to martyr
dom.
Through their veins coursed the
virus of infantile paralysis that
spells their doom within a month.
If the monkeys survive the fright
full disease. their lives will be TAX
en- as a precautionary measure.
Research experts, seeking new
knowledge of the scourge, fear
they might spread the disease if
allowed to live.
1t was understood the scientists
sought to establish whether infan-
tile germs existed in the nose and
throat, as we'll as to test other as
yet improved theories.
Twenty EIGHT other monkeys al
ready have died for the sake of
science.
