Of which severely beat William
Haines, former film star, and a
group Of his friends and drove
them from a beach city near here,
was launched today by city and
county officials.
Deputy sheriffs reported they
had questioned a score Of residents
of East Manhattan Beach, all OF
whom admitted membership in the

ing Haines and his friends from
their community.
No action will be taken, how
ever, until further Investigation,
the officers said.
Haines BIames Drunks
The beating, which was revealed
yesterday, took place last week
end. HaineS and Jimmy Shields
film extra player, were struck
down by an infuriated mob, and
they and IA other summer resi-
dents were pelted with tomatoes
as they were driven out of town
Haines said today:
'Tt was the work Of drunks,
spurred on by malicious gossip"
Haines said he was at q loss
to understand how the people
could have become so worked up
but readily admitted the beating
and added he had left the beach
town for good.
Deputy sheriffS revealed that
some members of the white
Legion" had come to them seek
ing a morals complaint against
an unnamed member of the group
which rented beach houses from
Haines. The officers said they re
fused to issue a complaint be
cause there was no evidence.

Haines said:
"'When they came up and told
us to get out, I was surprised
and started to question them.
Then they knocked Jimmy down,
and when I started to help him
up, they knocked me down. I
realized the men were intOxi.
Gated, and that to fight with
them might result in fatalities.
so I stayed in prone position"
The men and some women who
were in the mob ordered Haines
and Shields and their friends tc
get out of town in an hour, the
former actor said.
After they went home anC
packed up and were driving

Greater Promise

More interesting, perhaps, than the ;s ;soutcome of the government-fostered col- {. ony in the MatanuSka Valley of southern Alaska will be it's indirect influence. Latest information from Alaska is that a 4 thin but steady stream of farmers is ar- irving, bearing their own equipment, and
 ready to Ego 1t on their own" These <. rugged individual" pioneers are gradu-
 ally taking Up locations in the Kenat Peninsula, and Up north of the Matan-
 uska colony into the Tanana Valley
 almost aS far as Fairbanks The offices of
 Gov. John W. Troy at Juneau and those
 of chambers of commerce of Alaska cities
 are piled with mail, inquiries about farm
 possibilities in the territory.
 The MatanuSka colony itself seems to be doing well, with all internal criticism leveled ct details of management rather z than at the territory itself or the local conditions. There are 158 families there now, with 40 children, of whom 46 have
 been born since the migration year ago
 in May. Marketing of vegetables and dairy products from the colony is begin. ming, and there is reason to believe that kRAAbhh than Matanuska ever can produce. z That Is why individual farmers, many Of them veterans of many years in the "duSt bowl" of the west, have been col- lecting the remainder of their cash assets, their tools, and their families, and / striking out for the "new land" Of
 Alaska. They hope to find more secure future "digging" for vegetables in the :. northern territory than their grand fathers ever found digging for gold. ' Matanuska families know Of drouth 2 and heat in the western part of the United States only through reading Of them. MatanuSka temperatures never rose above 30 during the summer, and there were sufficient intermittent rains. The land has proved to be just as fertile as represented. A long waiting list IS ready to fill any vacancies that may develop in the colony.
 Thus 1t begins to be fair bet that
 the experiment of transporting Q few
 relief clients from drouth-gtricken farms
 in the northwest to Alaska, and stalking q them to Q new start, may succeed In it. self. But if 1t serves to cali attention to the opportunity for others to go as tndi-
 vidualS, 1t will be of still greater service And that is just what 1t appears to Dc doing
 Alaska veterans believe the Renal
 Peninsula alone can accommodate 100,- 70 GOO people, which is almost double the
 whole population of the territory in
 1880. Perhaps a new Horace Greeley B needed to coin 8 new slogan for today. ."do north, young man, go northI"
