ing Division of Southern Cali
fornia of the National Emer-
gency Council, regarding the
NATIONAL HOUSING ACT"
"The provisions of the new
housing act are exceedingly
simple. The owner of any resi-
dence, apartment building, store,
office building, warehouse, or
farm building should decide i'm
mediately what improvements
he can afford to make now to
his real estate at least the
improvements he cannot afford
to neglect any longer.
Banks and major financial
institutions of this city are now
eligible to make loans to bor-
rowers and avail themselves of
Federal Insurance. They will
make a loan to cover the entire
cost of the necessary repairs, al
terations and improvements to
your property up to $4,000, pro-
vided the borrower is able to
demonstrate a reasonable credit
standing.
1.-THE loan must be repaid in
equal monthly installments over
a period of from one to three
years. The cost to the borrower
for such loan will be at the
rate of IS per 100 per year."
To further assist proper
owners in securing reliable con-
tractors to carry out the improve
ments, The Press herewith presents
a selected list of contractors in
nearly every line Of building ac-
tivity. These firms and individuals

MISS DRESSLER.
AIDED MANY
To FAME

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. / GN.SJ.
There will be no successor to
Marie DreSsler.
Hollywood agreed on that fact
unanimously today as the beloved
actress lay at rest in a crypt in
the Hills of Glendale, not far
from the great movie studios. The
general comment was:
'No one can ever take her
place in the hearts of the Amer.
ican screen audience"
But, at the same time, it was
pointed out that Miss Dressler's
great success had paved the way
for other character" actresses to
achieve Stardom rank hitherto re-
served for young and beautiful
women.
Others Sought
After Miss DreSSler scared to
the top in Anna Christie" in 1880,
movie producers started the search
for others who might approximate
her popularity.
And Marie Dressler was the
first to encourage the little
parade of "old timers" women
who had, like herself, won fame
many years ago on the stage, and
were now seeking to round out
their careers on the silver screen.
Outstanding among these has
been May Robson, who came
close last winter to winning the
famous gold award Of the Acad-
erny of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences which had been given
in 1882 to Miss DreSSler.
Another veteran who has been
steadily increasing her popularity
is Allison Skipworth, like Miss
Dressler a great comedienne.
Mrs. Pat Campbell has gath
cred a considerable following in
q short time with her vivid
characterizations.
Extras" Encouraged
The fact that Miss Dressler, de-
spite her widespread reputation,
waited humbly in Hollywood for
years before receiving recognition
has served to encourage many
elderly "extras" that a like fate
may await them, but Hollywood
little expects to see anyone emerge
from obscurity to challenge the
popularity of Miss Dressler.

Herbert Morrison, leader OF the

A start will be made on the project,

DEMOCRATS CLASH

Leaders in Conflict on Rule
by Federal Trade
Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated fTeSS.
A conflict between administration
leaders over the Fletcher Rayburn
stock market control bill roughened
the road ahead of that controversial
measure today.
Chairman Fletcher OF the Senate
Banking Committee, co-author Of
the bill, stood fast by his point that
the Federal Trade Commission should
rule over the stock exchanges.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
majority leader. was on the other side
of the fence. He suggested that Con-
greSs create a new agency" to con-
troll the markets.
Robinson earlier had expressed
doubt whether the bill would be ready
for final passage before Congress ad-
journs. He later said it should be
limited to wipe out certain recog-
niZed "evils." His idea for a sepa-
rate control agency is in general line
with similar suggestions by the ex-
changes.
Would Continue Probe.
While the conflict developed, the
Senate Banking Committee prepared
to ask for both authority and money
to continue its investigation into ex-
change and banking practices.
Fletcher said he would seek to ex-
tend the inquiries through the next
session Of Congress. adding this Is
the expressed desire of President
Roosevelt.

would ask for an additional 100000
