NEW YORK, Oct. .-Maneat-

mad elephant and a runaway
camel were among the dangers
overcome by Helga Moray, pretty
blonde actress, in trip around
the world. as she described it here.
But she asserted none of the car
nivora caused her half the suffer

sighed:

in the making. They travelled TO-
900 miles. chiefly in a 125-foot
yacht with crew of 13. They
shot $4,000 feet of films, with the
bride as chief cameraman. Re
counting their adventures, Miss
Moray said:
"The man-eating, and 1 pre-
sumo wOman-eating, sharks came
for me while l was bathing at
the end of a rope in the South
Seas. / could almost hear their
teeth click as 1 was dragged
abroad.
"Then in an African jungle,
a frail bridge broke and / was
plunged into the stream among
alligatOrS and poisonous snakes.
Later, an elephant that had
killed five men charged my
camera and / barely escaped
alive. The camera and all
equipment was smashed"
The Garnetts left their yacht in
England and came to America on
a liner in response to an emer-
gency call from the Twentieth
Century Company to direct a new
picture.

Hopkins AssaiIs COP
Chiefs for 'PeddIing
Phony Affidavits'

Charges by the Republican Ma
tional Committee of political ac-
tivity in the Works Progress Ad,
miniStration in Pennsylvania,
made by William Hard, radio
commentator, are las misleading
as they are false" Administrator
Harry Hopkins said today. He
said:
ut is amazing to me that the
Republican National Committee
will permit Joe Grundy'S bench
men in Pennsylvania to peddle
their phOny affidavits and Sec
Ond-hand gossip, which is then
palmed off on the American
people as news.
THE answers of our State
administrator in Pennsylvania
to these politically inspired
charges are a complete refuta-
ton of the Republican commit
tees mud-Slinging."
On charges trat WPA had evaded
the rule that persons not on re-
lief could not hold WPA jobs,
Hopkins said that WPA regula-
tions permit the appointment up
to 10 pe~ cent of non-relief en-
ployeS, and that Congress placed
WPA employment on a basis of
need rather than previous enroll.
ment on relief lists"
Charges by Harry Ball, Della,
ware county, Pa, WPA project en-,
gineer. that politics interferred
with the program in that county,
brought this retort from Hopkins
"The best answer to Mr.. Balls
affidavit is to be found in Mr..
Balls own employment on the
WPA program. Mr.. Ball was a
registered Republican,; his father
was a member of the Chester
city council and a henchman of
the Mcclure political machine.
If politics had been predominant
in Delaware county, as alleged
by Mr., Ball, he, Mr.. Ball, could
never have been appointed to
any administrative or super
visOry position on the WPA pro-
gram"

repatriated on May 3, 1923, when
young Winston was still legal
infant.
1t was only recently that Guest
learned that his citizenship was in
legal doubt, his attorneys revealed.
That was occasioned by his rise in
the political life of New York,
where he has made his home.
immigration Commissioner Dan
iel w. MacCormack was appealed
to, and confirmed fears that Guest,
in the strict Interpretation of the
immigration laws, is an alien. The
\ immigration officials opinion was
based on the notation on Guests
certificate of entry in 1919 that
the latter was an English subject
when he entered this country.
Guest complains that he has
been raised as an American, has
taken the oath of allegiance many
times-on passports, on his ad
mission to the bar of the State OF
New York and when he entered
the Officers Reserve Corps of the
United States Army. He further
claims that his mothers repatri
alton while he was still a minor
should entitle him to be classed as
a natural-born citizen.
U. S. Would Help
Assistant United States Attorney
David A. Pine, representing the
Government, made it plain before
Justice Jennings Bailey today that
the Governments position is not
one of antagoniSm toward Guest
He said:
Indeed, he is the type of man
they should welcome to citizen
ship. but they believe that he
is not entitled to citizenship in
this manner and to grant it
would set a dangerous prece-
dent"
Guest could easily obtain citi
zenShip through naturalization
but says that it would be a serious
handicap to him in the political
career he has undertaken. The
action is in the nature of a man
damuS to compel Commissioner
MacCormack to change the nota
tion on his certificate of entry to
make it appear that he was an
American citizen when he entered
this country.
1t is probable that the hearings
will consume the remainder of the
