FILM STARS FACE
ELECT|ON|NQU|RY
Jury Probes Sinclair Charge
That Movie Bar0nS
Coerced Workers.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, November a.
The Los Angeles County grand jury
jumped into California's bitter cleo
ton campaign today, starting to in
vestigate charge that motion picture
studio employees had been threatened
with dismissal should they vote for
Upton Sinclair. Democratic nominee
for Governor.
Some of the filmland's greatest
stars were marked down by David
Sokol of the Law Enforcement Sub
committee of the County Democratic
Committee for possible personal ap-
pearances before the grand jury.
Katharine Hepburn, Douglas Fair
banks, Clark Gable and VIII Rogers,
Sokol said, would be asked to testify
in support of his charges that motion
picture employees are being intimi-
dated to prevent them from support
ing the former Socialist. Sinclair has
branded motion picture producers as
a "nefarious influence" in politics. He
advocates strict Federal supervision
of the industry.
Sinclair Continues Drive.
While Acting Gov. Frank F. Mer-
riam, Republican, rested for a final
invasion of San Francisco, Sinclair
carried on his lend poverty in Cali
fornia" campaign in Los Angeles with
an assertion he Is a Democrat and
essentially always has been.
Democracy" he said, means the
'ht and power Of people to gov
ern their own af1airs. 1t matters not
what I am. 1t matters whether you
are going to continue to live in pow
erty. am that kind of a Demo-
crat and I am going to prove 1t in
California"
Deserted by Democratic leaders,
Sinclair nevertheless claimed he had
been advised by Washington officials
they are sick and tired of the crooks
in Office they have had to deal with
in California"
Haight Sounds Warning.
The Progressive and Common
wealth party candidate for Governor
Raymond L. Haight, predicted in Los
Angeles that the election of either
Merriam or Sinclair will bring a
flow of blood in California and the
intervention of Federal troops before
the Winter has gone"
What Is happening here today will
happen elsewhere throughout the
United States tomorrow" he said.
Sinclair. he declared, is "only an
incident in this rising tide Of fury
and foment."

DRASTIC CONTROL
OF COTTON URGED
A. A. A. Near Shuddering as
Demand for Ultimate Comes
From South.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated fres$.
The A. A. A. came near shuddering
today as 1t heard a demand from the
South for the ultimate in drastic con-
troll of cotton growers.
J. c. Holton, Mississippi commits
sioner of agriculture. came to lay be-
fore the Farm Administration a pro-
posal to license all growers Of cotton
and dictate exactly the amount each
could raise.
Such q plan, officials indicated, is
bugaboo to them. The idea Of Ii
censing has been mentioned by Sec
retary Wallace, but only as an out
side possibility. He has said he be-
ieved American farmers would not
condone it.
Holton said he expressed the senti-
ment of thousands Of Mississippi
farmers and those in other parts OF
the South. He attacked the present
Bnkhead act, which seeks to limit
cotton production to 10,0oo,0 900 bales
In 1894.
This measure, he said, required ex-
treme haste in administration. con-
tanned no fiexibility of application,
and involved an intricate proration
procedure based upon past production
and acreage history, which penalized
the small producer and the producer
who had already reduced his cotton
acreage to minimum proportions"
Under Holton's plan. each farmer
would have q quota. Land within
the quota would be exempt from Ii
cense fees, which would be assessed
at the rate of $40 an acre.
Each farmers paintings would be
measured In May. The $40 fee would
be levied on land in excess of the
quota or the Government could re-
quire the excess cotton to be de-
stroyed.
Cotton prices would be pegged
through Government loans. Cotton
in excess of requirements would be
bought by the Government. Exporters
would be paid debenture to equalize
the difference between the price of
American cotton and the world price
There Il time now to work out q
method Of proration that will insure
. square deal to everybody" Holton
said.

CABINET
MAY STEP DOWN
Doumergue Faces Crisis
Tonight in Demand for
More Power.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 2.-Premier Cas-
ton Doumergue called for showdown
today on his demand for increased
power and threatened to resign If he
Is refused.
A cabinet crisis threatened TO de-
velop at a meeting called for tonight
but many though a compromise was
probable.
Strong stands taken by the premier
and Edouard Herriot, minister without
portfolio and leader Of the radical
Socialist party, and other Doumergue
followers, were interpreted as an effort
to drive a hard bargain since the gov
ernment, through President Lebrun,
holds the power to dissolve the cham
Der.
Reforms to Put Through.
The crisis was precipitated by
Doumergue's demand for additional
authority in order to put through
constitutional reforms.
Should tonight's session fail to solve
the question the cabinet might re-
sign, but 1t also may meet again to-
morrow for q final decision with
President Lebrun assuming the role
of peacemaker.
"Only a miracle can avert the
crisis" said one minister, while others
took the situation less seriously.
Doumergue was said by friends to
be tired and discouraged. He originally
intended to remain in power until he
pulled France out of the hole, regard
less Of political opposition, but has
been .disheartened by political bicker-
ing within and without the cabinet.
He was saddened by the Marseille
assassinations and the death Of for
mer President Raymond Poincare, and
is also conscious of the prevalent be-
lief here that the German military
menace" Is growing.
Partisanship Puzzle.
Associates say he finds it difficult to
understand why political partisanship
continues to disturb the country when
the nation Is troubled from within by
economic distress and threatened from
without by the danger Of friction with
Germany.

Trouble for williams.

Chairman williams of the N. l. r. B.
does not know it yet, but he Is in for
some of the same kind of trouble that
stormed around the pulsating head of
Gen. johnson.
A. F. Of L. mischief makers have
been quietly preparing q report on
Mr.. Williams which Is anything but
laudatory of his labor views. This
was done under instructions from the
A. r. Of L. convention. In a few days
President Green will call on Mr..
Roosevelt and present the document,
which Is supposed to include some
very strong words.
But that is not all the bad ne1Us
for Mr.. Williams 1t seems that,
unbeknoUn to him, the toodstu6s
division of his N. r. A. has con-
cocted code TOR his tobacco in
dustrp and sent it out to the in
dustrv.
That Is unusual and somewhat
ironical In view OF the fact that Mr..
williams was formerly the spokesman
for the Goddess tobacco industry.
Notes.
Apparently Mr.. Richberg is not CIV
ing up his co-ordinating job, even
though N. r. A. duties have been en-
trusted to him. He is still using the
co-ordinator's Office and Is devoting
little time to the N. r. A.
Several bankers must have tainted
when they heard that Sidney Hill
man, the labor leader, has been as
signed to handle the bankers code
in the NJ r A. Almost as amusing
Is the fact that Tobacconist williams
has been given the automobile code,
while the tobacco code Ii in the
hands of q motorist.
Gen. johnson may be out of N. R.
A.. but he Is not out of touch. He
holds frequent conversations with
members of the new governing board.
r. v. A.-ers have q new slogan,
"T. v. A. seeks to make two bulbs
glow where one glew before"
An applicant for T. v. A. job was
required to state his length Of resi-
dence In his community. He replied:
MY length Of residence Is 40 feet II
inches" He failed to get the job.
Evening star., 1934-11-02

To get the proper significance you
have to know the inside method by
which the President arrived at his
conclusion. The law says he shall
restore Government wages whenever
the normal price level is restored.
There Is nothing in the law which
requires him to announce 1t nine
months In advance In the ordinary
course, he would wait until prices were
restored and then ask Congress to re-
store the last per cent Of the Is per
cent pay cut.
Mr.. Rooseuelt's ercuse TOR max.
ino the announcement notD tUds
that he uanted to put it in the
BUDGET. That Grouse is thin be-
cause he does not hdUe to haze it
in the budget. He could ask for q
deficiency appropriation any time.
What happened on the inside was
that Mr.. Roosevelt's Bureau OF Labor
Statistics informed him privately that
prices and values would not be re-
stored this Fall. but would be in the
Spring. Now the cat in that bag is
that there is nothing to business
except prices and values. When they
are restored, business Is restored.
The Implication was we'll known at
the White House when the announce
ment was made.
Calculations Made Carefully.
Government economic calculations
sometimes 20 far wrong. Mr.. Hoover's
advisers made a bad record for them
selves. Since then. the new dealers
have tried to tighten up on their CAL
culating and have avoided open pre-
dictiors. They have succeeded in
some degree in tightening up. Their
estimates of this years business, made
in the preparation Of the budget last
Fall. were apparently not far OIL.
The thing is largely guess work, Of
course, but it Is the best available
guess work. The guessers have . lot
more avenues Of information than
you have.
OF Strawberries and Cream.
A New Dealer tells this new version
Of what may be an old story about
the soap box agitator in Union Square.
He says the fellow was haranguing
about the revolution, drawing luscious
pictures of what would happen when
1t came.
Desc people on Park avenue said
the earnest haranguer. ARE living in
beeg apartments and eating straw
burrs and Grim. Comes the revolution
and you also will live in beeg apart
ments and eat strawburrs and crim."
A little fellow down front in the
crowd protested loudly at this, saying
he did not like Strawberries and
cream, whereupon the haranguer
leaned over, shook q finger in the
little fellows face and shouted:
Comes the revolution and you will
eat strawburrs and crim-and you'll
like it."

Pledge Significant
to All Business.
BY PAUL MALLON.

"HE strongest assurance business

Roosevelt lay hidden cautiously
L behind that promise he made
Wednesday to restore Govern
ment wage cuts next July l.
The question Of wage restorations Is
trivial in comparison with the deeper
underlying significance.
Those closest to the presidential desk
realized that here was the first business
prediction Mr.. Roosevelt had made
since he entered the White House. Only
they know that the President had to
have the general business picture
primarily in mind in determining
the Government wage scale. Only
they realize that his announcement
meant he had reached the conclusion
that the Fall up-swing would not
change the existing situation ma
terially. but that the Spring improve
ment of 1885 would bring actual
