CHARLOTTE, N. c., September g.
Fierce winds of hurricane proportion
and mountainous waves which leaped
over seawalls and melted away giant
sand dunes swept the upper North
Carolina coast country early today as
the dissipating tropical storm moved
over a wide area toward the sea.
The storm, accompanied by scat

land communities, left trail Of de-
molished and unroofed houses, up
rooted trees, fallen power and COM
munication lines and battered wharves
and beach cottages as it moved
through the Carolinas yesterday.
There was known loss of life, al
though disrupted communications sys-
TENS made contact with some Of the
sections difficult and in some cases
impossible. There was little fear. how.
ever. as fishing settlements along the
coast were warned in advance and
small craft sought the safety of coastal
rivers.
Two Lose Lives.
Two persons were killed early today
by contact with power wires blown
down by the gale which swept the
New Bern section last night. They
were David w. Thompson, SIS. and
Mrs. Thompson. 48, of Sunnyside, a
New Bern suburb.
Thompson noticed the fallen wires
and started to the home of a daugh-

about them and touched one while
on his way. Mrs. Thompson rushed

The House Military Committee
investigating War Department bust
ness practices-has ordered subpoenaed
the bank and business records of Fred =
erick H. Payne, Assistant Secretary
of War in the Hoover administration.
Chairman McSwain, Democrat, of
South Carolina said today the records
were being sought to bring out Payne's
relationship with Joseph Silverman,
jr., whom the committee has accused
Of "a plot to defraud the United
States" in connection with a large
Army motor truck order in 1888.
The committee has received testi-
mony that Payne Endorsed Silverman
to an official of the General Motors
Corp, and on the night before he left
Office approved a modification in a
contract Silverman had for purchase
of surplus Army supplies.
Kenneth Anderson, committee clerk,
and H. o. Hoagland. an attorney OF
the General Accounting ONCE, have
been dispatched to Greenfield, Mass,
to subpoena some of Payne's bank
records and files of the Greenfield Tap
& Die Co., headed by the former War
Department official.
Since May, McSwain said, the COM
mittee has asked repeatedly for the
records. Just before Congress ad-
journed. some banking material was

A special subcommittee probably
will renew the inquiry into War De-
partment business dealings around Oc-
tober /, McSwain said.
In a report to the House in the
closing days of the last session, the
chairman indicated the committee
wanted answers to these questions:
Did the Office of the Assistant Sec
rotary of War deliberately override
recommendations of the Army quar-
termaster general and insist on max
ing negotiated agreements with Silver
man, his brothers and companies for
the sale of excess Army goods at a
price about 20 or Is per cent of what
they could have realized In the DO
mestic market on basis of bona flde
competitive bids'
Did the same Office, disregarding
recommendations Of the quartermaster
general, make negotiated contracts
and notifications of the contracts
that enabled the Silvermans to mo-
nopolize the market for surplus Army
materials, virtually dictate prices and
realize profits of 200 to 600 per cent?
Did the Silvermans use hundreds
of thousands Of dollars Of 'uncon-
scionable profits" realized through a
monopoly Of surplus Army supplies to
corrupt and overreach Government
officials either By means Of direct gifts
of money, entertainment and innu-
merable material objects Of value, or
indirectly through high-pressure po-
litical and legal lobbyists?

Irregularities.
By the Associated Press.

FRANKFORT, KY. September g.
On the eve of Kentucky's Democratic
gubernatorial primary election, Gov
RUBY Laffoon ordered National Guard
troops today to proceed to Harlan
County Immediately. The reason. he
said, was that the lives, constltu-
tional rights and property of Harlan
County citizens may be properly safe
guarded and protected"
The order came after Thomas S.
Rhea, supported by Laffoon for the
nomination in tomorrow's run-ott
primary. charged that County Attor-
new Elmon Middleton of Harlan County
was assassinated Wednesday because
he had evidence of irregularities in
the first primary at Harlan August 8.
Blamed on ReprisalS.
Middleton was blasted to death by
a dynamite bomb attached to the
ignition of his automobile. Circuit
Judge James M. Gilbert and other
Harlan officials denied there was any
political significance to the Staying
and blamed it on reprisals to Middle
toms crusade against gambling and
slot machines.
Rhea, who received plurality In
the first primary, is opposed in the
run-off by Lieut.. Gov. A. B. (Happy
Chandler. who made the occupation
of Harlan County by troops in the
first primary an issue in the run-of1
campaign. Gov. Laffoon said the
troops would not interfere in the
primary. .
The August 8 troop movement, led
by Adjt. Gen. Denhardt, resulted in
indictments against Denhardt and
other Guard officers.
Four Men Arrested.
Four men listed as Otis Noe, 20;
Fred Howard, q; Bill Leonard. 20,
and Bob Farmer, 30, all of Harlan,
were arrested yesterday on warrants

posted $40 900 bond for trial at Harlan
next November on charges Of criminal
contempt of a court writ against
troops and unlawful possession OF bal
lot boxes.

uuently held that State troops could
act as peace officers in Harlan County
but kept in force an injunction OBJ

ROME, September 6.-The semi
official journal Azione Coloniale tCo-
lonial Action stated today that Italy
will demand the exclusion Of Great
Britain from Egypt if Great Britain
poses the question of Italy being a
threat to the British Empire by
going into Ethiopia.
IF Italy's presence in East Africa
is recognized as damaging to the i'm
perial interests of England" said
Azione Coloniale. the same thing
must be admitted for Britain's pres
ence on the seas and coasts in bases
within the imperial Italian sphere.
England at Alexandria. Egypt, is
as dangerous as Italy in Adds Ababa.
Alden, Malta and Gibraltar are a
menace for our Mediterranean. Cyprus
and Haifa are a danger for Rhodes.
For our security, We can very well

The journal asked that it be recog-
nized that Italy was not pursuing any
anti-British or anti-imperial ends,
saying, Otherwise we must pose the

Troops on to Africa.
Troops departed from three Italian
cities today for Naples and embarka-
ton to East Africa.
The movement was the second
significant military episode in two
days, the war minister having called
$4,000 youths of the class of 1912,
previously exempted from military
service.
The cities which sent troops to
Naples were Turin, Barletta and
Chieti. Soldiers from Barletta were
mostly university students who had
volunteered for East African service.
They were given an enthusiastic send
of by the townspeople,
Congestion at Naples.
All will sail for East Africa over the
week end. Congestion of soldiers
ready to sail from Naples resulted,
military circles said, because supple
mentary troops had been ordered by
Rome to wait while before drawing
their uniforms and railroad passes.
A government spokesman insisted
that the withdrawal of the Italian
delegate from the discussion in the
Council chamber at Geneva yesterday
could not be construed either as Italy's
withdrawal from the League or the
rupture of diplomatic relations with
Ethiopia.
The spokesman explained that italy
simply followed its policy of refusing
to meet Ethiopia on an equal footing,
which debate in the League meeting
would establish.
The $4,000 youths summoned to the
colors yesterday had been exempted
because they were the sole support of
their families, or for other reasons

lions, who have been advised to report

MYSTERY TALE PLAYED
AT MORMON CHURCH
"Remote Control Has Good Cast
and Excellent Melo-
dramatic Theme.

THE modern thriller Remote Con-
troll was presented last night
by the Mutual improvement Associa-
ton at the Mormon Church on Six
tenth street and Columbia road
1t is a mystery story Of the present
day, full of spine-thrilling chills and
breathless moments. 1t centerS around
a struggling radio station in Chicago
and its experiences with a daring
gang of criminals, who make the Dill
linger stick-ups seem like children
playing with toy guns.
Fortunately, this Is not a murder
story There is only one sudden
death in it, but when that fatal shot
is fired. you will probably jump two
feet in your chair, and certainly from
then on you will sit quivering, until
the final moment, when the rascal is
unmaSked by our clever hero.
"Now-you-have-it" Brokenchild Is
the rather self-aSsured young man
who presides over the activities of the
station. Brokenchild is played by
Charles Smith, who carries the heavi-
est part in the story on his capable
shoulders. He is ably supported by
cast that is predominantly male.
The presiding genius Of the control
room is not so fortunate in his love
affairs, but he plays his part with
a naturalness and spontaneity that
are among the high spots of the per-
Torrance
The desperate villain must remain
secret, but you will never guess who
1t is, SO capably does that insidious
young man play his part. The all
knowing pair of detectives prove to
be less smart than they thought. but
few better examples of small town big
shots have been seen around the local
stage
The feminine interest is capably
handled by Edith Reynolds. She car
ries on the announcing beside a dead
man, and shows herself to be as cap
able as she is pretty. There are two
other outstanding performances by
women. One by Eleanor Farr. who
gives us a perfect example Of a too,
too thrilling" debutante.
The entire play is well acted. Credit
should be given to some unusually
good amateur radio fans, for they
have constructed difficult technical
equipment that surprisingly does not
fail at the crucial moment. In all it
is a most superior production, well
done in every detail.

ming pool. His pal had frantically
tried to save him in the only ways
his doggy heart knew-to bark, to
jump, to tug at peoples dresses, the
only manner he could. He evidently
had plunged in to try to help, and now
he just sat on the side of the pool
with bowed head and mourned.
Today the little Sealy, Pooch, keeps
pacing along the edge of the SWIM
ming pool, looking for his playmate.
And down the street, a mournful
mountain of fur, Sheba, thrusts her
black nose through the pickets Of her
garden fence and howls. Motion pic
lures must be made and life must
go on, but the owners of Sheba and
Pooch are saddened as they watch
the grief of their pets involved in this
minor tragedy in a village Of major
tragedies.

HOLLYWOOD, August 9.-In Holly
wood, where an aching tooth in
stars mouth means a headline, the
minor tragedies of life sometimes go
by unnoted. Such a minor tragedy
involves some dogs Of the famous in
Beverly Hills and has Saddened the
canine colony deeply, as their owners
will substantiate.
Sheba, Nelson Eddy's English sheep
dog, which jeanette Macdonald gave
him, and Scotty, Ruth Selwyn's Aber-
deem terrier, had beautiful friend
ship. But Sheba lived bit away
from Scotty, and the Aberdeen's dis
appearances caused good deal of
furry about the Selwyn house, espe-
cially when Pooch, the Sealyham ter
rier which was left to play alone,
raised a howl. 1t was soon discov-
evered that Scotty always could be
found over at Sheba's house. He
couldn't always be located at the
moment, because Sheba learned, after
he had been taken home few times,
to raise her giant forepaws and let
the little Aberdeen crawl in under
meath, where he was as completely
concealed as if he had taken refuge
in haystack.
The other night Ruth Selwyn gave
party, and PoOch and Scotty were
playing about the pool. When the
gayety was at its height, the little
Sealyham came dashing into the room,
tugged at his mistress skirts and made
a great TODD. She offered him a
taste of liver paste, which he ordinarily
adores, but he would have none Of it
and was so noisy and unruly that he
had to be put out. Still later he
came in again, soaking wet, and barked
and shook himself on the guests love-
ly gowns until once more he was re-
buked and put outdoors.
Then Nelson Eddy and Luise Rainer
took a stroll in the garden. The
frantic Sealy led them to the swim
ming pool, and there on the bottom
lay Scotty, still little spot of black
