GETTYSBURG, June 27.-Plans are rapidly going forward for a memorable and impressive gathering which will probably be the last com- mon conclave of those who fought on opposite sides during the Civil war.
 The occasion will be the 18th anniversary of the battle of Get tysburg, the most important and most hotly contested engagement between the forces of the north and the south during the war between the states.
 On June 29 there will gather on this historic spot those who are left of the Civil war veterans, an inn posing array of public figures and notables headed by the president and a vast throng of spectators. Probably not more than 200 or 300 of the "blue and the gray" will be physically able to attend, and 1t is likely that this will be their last gathering together.
 Elaborate plans have been out lined for the occasion. President Roosevelt will make the principal address and a military review will be staged in which various branches of the service will participate
 Another feature of the day will be the unveiling and dedication of an imposing memorial to the peace and goodwill which exists in the nation and between United States and other powers today. This mem orial will consist of an eternal light whose beacon will surmount Oak Ridge.
 Designed by Cret
 It was designed by Paul Cret, noted architect and designer, and is in the form of an unadorned but imposing column with a torch at the top, fed by supply of natural gas.
 There are surviving today only handful of the 155,000 men who fought the decisive battle of Get tysburg. Beginning on the morn ing of July l, 1863, it lasted for three days and cost the lives of more thar 5000 men, in addition to 27,o0C wounded and 10000 missing.
 In many ways the turning point of the conflict, the battle was fought when Gen. Robert F. Lee decided to invade the north in hope of de- feating Union forces on their own soil, capturing the capital, and thus inducing France or England to rec ognize the Confectionery.
 General Meade was in command of the Army of the Potomac, numb ering about 82,00o men, or nearly 10000 more than the forces under Lee

Actress Is Making Hit in Cheap Picture when
 Supercolossal Failed
By RoBBIN COoNs

HOLLYWOOD, June 27-Movie- towns reputation as a center Of unpredictable ironies should be en- hanced by the story of Kay Fran ois's recent pictures.
 Kay was on the famous list of "box-office poison" names put out by those eastern exhibitors. A cou- pie of years ago she rated very well indeed. What probably started her decline was an epic called The White Angel" Tn gratitude for her consistent drawing power, her studio put forth it's most supercoloSSal eff forts-big production, big exploita- tion campaign, big budget, big di- rector. "The White Anger (need it be said?) was not Miss Franciss most profitable picture.
 Some weeks ago the star, to work out her contract. was assigned to couple of minor pictures. She was in the doghouse' as far as the studio was concerned, but she didn't balk at what they handed her to do. one of those pictures, recently finished, is My Bill
 May Be Hit
 It didn't cost much. It isn't big named picture But it's likely to be surprise hit And wouldn't it be funny if Rays "doghouse" picture lclicked where a super super couldn't? And funnier if they want ed Kay to keep on making pictures after her marriage this fall? And still funnier if Kay said NO, thanks?
 That, strangely, is what she would be apt to reply. Judging only by her past indifference to all the things that keep the average star 1 in a whirl-unkind criticisms, pub licity, and the outward trappings of stardom-Miss Francis will be happy to take her pile of picture money and say goodbye to the | screen.
 Good News
 1 It was after the sneak" preview of Little Miss Thoroughbred" at downtown theatre. A gentleman connected with the picture was eavesdropping on the paying GUS toners, hoping to hear reaction comments. He reports this remark from a little old lady: .It's too bad they have to show one terrible pie ture with every good one, isn't it?" His heart sank, but further listen ing revealed that the lady was praising Thoroughbred" and con- demning the houses regular feature "a very expensive, star-studded, so- called "A" picture.
 The point is that Little Miss Thoroughbred" is a lowbudget pie ture. It's hokum horse-race and lit 1 tle-child-shall-le them stuff. The little child is Janet Chapman-of whom more later. But nobody ex- pected much of the picture, every body hoped for a hit in the eX- pensive picture. And the little old lady's verdict is being sustained on the latter, probably will be upheld on the "quickie."

Definite Conspiracy Laid
to Guards to Cover Up
What Happened.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-Coroner
Charles H. Hersch charged today
there was a definite conspiracy on
the part OF guards to cover up what
really happened" at the Philadelphia
County Prison, where four convicts
met mysterious deaths in superheated
punishment cells.
The coroner said the conspiracy"
had temporarily delayed his plans to
arrest "higher-ups" and blackjack
squad Of guards who he blamed
Tor turning steam on in battery
OF large radiators outside the cells
and literally baking the prisoners to
death"
The guards obviously rehearsed
their stories in an attempt to white
wash the whole affair" the coroner
declared.
Assistant District Attorney John A.
Boyle. who with Mr. Hersch is con-
Quoting the investigation, asserted
that the four dead men had been
tortured for three days" by the
blackjack squad" in the nearly air
tight cells. where investigators yester-
day estimated the temperature was
as high as 200 degrees.
Those four men were put in early
Friday afternoon" Mr.. Boyle said.
They were given the heat-how long
! don't know.
"A small number of hunger strikers
refused to 60 back to food and kept
on making trouble Saturday. That
day the guards took IL more out of
their cells in the prison and locked
them up in the punishment block.
They continued to yell and once
more the guards turned on the heat.
The first four, weakened by their own
treatment felt this punishment more
severly than the newcomers On Sum-
day the last handful of recalcitrants,
10 OF them, were locked up, and once
more the heat was applied
That was more than human flesh
could bear for the four who were the
first victims
Mr.. Hersch and Mr. Boyle ques-
toned guards at the prison until late
last night and then summoned eight
who were on duty the night the con-
victs died for further Interrogation.
Two guards, Francis NTH. 43. and
Alfred w. Brough. 80, already are held
in $4,000 bail each as material wit
