All of the inside crowd doubt that

Why Credit Action Delayed.
The meeting OF the Federal Re-
Serue Board Open Market Commit
tee Uds not as firm as its pub
liShed statement indicated More
than one OF the authorities on the
board are supposed to haze sug-
gested that the logical time to in
crease reserve requirements and
to impose margin restrictions on
banks, is now, before the trouble
starts. The Jour announced red
sons for delay should hare included
q nth reason, Which tUaS not men

all board members expire in about
80 days The majority may haze
been sUayed as much by a desire
to duoid commitments for the new
board as By anything else.
Also, all are supposed to be official
or unofficial candidates for reappoint-
ment.
For this sufficient fifth reason, the
best-informed authorities on that SUBJ
ject now expect no action until the
new board comes into being.
Story Behind Insurance Order.
A significant confidential story lies
behind the inconsequential insurance
announcement made the other day
by the Navy Department. The an
noucement said that, hereafter Ameri-
can insurance companies will under
write the full building risk on Ameri-
can warships being constructed in pri-
vate yards.
No explanation came from an OFF,
cial source, but American insurance
authorities feel that recent cases of
suspected sabotage may have had
something to do with it. First there
was fire in shipyard where a
most modern fighting ship is being
constructed, then q bad accident" to

Foreign companies have done most
of the underwriting; in fact, about

The reason was that unusually large

President Finds Time
for Fun Despite
Budget Pressure.
BY PAUL MALLON.


TINE Presidents playfulness with
his associates inside the White
House has not suffered from
u the recent pressure Of budget
making, criticism and unfavorable
political polls.
One day this week was particularly
heavy. His engagement list contained
a dozen callers. Also a budget con-
ference at which there was to be con-
siderable fuming and fretting. Mr..
Roosevelt found time, however, to die
tate an unofficial letter to his military
aide, Col. Paw" Watson, along these
general lines:
The President will give Col. Watson
just "a hours to answer certain
charges. These charges are to the
effect that you, Col. Watson, have
been Dragging that you bagged two
turkeys with one shot at the Wood
mont Gun Club a few weeks ago
whereas the truth of the matter is
the turkeys were blind, and you are
just trying to injure the reputation
of the club champion. Admiral Cary
Grayson, who never shoots turkeys
which are blind, but only those which
are tied.
Col. Watson is supposed to have in
vestigated and learned that the
charges against him were planted with
the President by that great Demo
cratic planter, Bernard M. Baruch
In his reply, the colonel contended
that Mr. Baruch could not bag a
turkey, except with fork, after il
had been cooked. He demanded a
court of inquiry, which, he said. would
prove that the turkeys were blind
because he shot both through the eyes
with the same shot.

Doug Fairbanks
Depicts Aging
Don Juan

There's an ocean OF difference
between the Doug Fairbanks Of
the Mark Of Zorro" and the
Fairbanks of "The Private Life
Of Don Juan" The Atlantic
Ocean, to be exact.
The English picture, which is
now being shown at Loew's
Columbia, reveals a maturer,
mellowed Fairbanks, who is in a
fair way to becoming a pretty
good actor. The Fairbanks of
the silent film days was primarily
an athlete. His facial expires
sions then consisted OF an infec-
tious grin, a grimace, and little
else.
No longer able to count upon
his limbs for expression, the Fair
banks of Picadilly must needs do
little emoting. The Private
Life of Don Juan" gives him this
opportunity.
The aging Don Juan. returning
to Seville, finds that his reputa-
ton as the greatest lover Of his
time is undiminished because
some youth masquerading as
Don Juan has been climbing all
the balconies of the town and
consoling neglected wives. Be
fore the outraged Don Juan is
able to catch up with the i'm
poster the youth is slain in a
duel by a husband who returned
Unexpectedly.
Being up to his neck in debt,
tired Of women and haraSsed
by his wife, the real roue Seizes
the opportunity to let the youth
be buried as Don Juan and goes
into retirement.
After six months Of rustic life
Don Juan feels the old urge to
scale balconies again and whisper
sweet nothings in the ears Of fair
ladies. But all his efforts to stage
a comeback are in vain.
He is openly ridiculed ano
thrown into jail when he publicly
proclaims himself the great Dor
Juan.
The picture is slow in getting
under way but increases it's tempo
and grows increasingly more en-
tertaining. Fairbanks has sur
rounded himself with beautiful
women, Merle Oberon, Bonita
Hume, Binnie Barnes and others
The scenery and costumes are
first rate but the voices are not
as clear as they might be.
An amusing comedy featuring
youngsters and a newSreel com
plete the program at the Columbia
this week.
