Old Pact Knocks
Out Fishermen

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. II up
e. G.. Cahill, San Francisco di-
rector of public utilities, came up
today with what he considers the
last word in the dispute between
the city an dthe state division of
fish and game regarding fishing in
the city's Spring Valley lakes in
San Mateo county.
The fish and game division, over
city opposition, ruled that fisher
men may be granted permits to
cast lines into the lakes from bor-
dering highways, which are state
property
Cahill, who is opposing opening
the lakes to fishing on grounds the
reservoirs, which supply the city's
water would be polluted, announc-
ed today he had found 1922 agree
ment which apparently nullifies the

Probers Undaunted
ByFDR's Denial
Of Movie Pressure

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. (UP)-
Sponsors of the senate investigation
of motion pictures said today that
their plans would not be changed
lone iota" by President Roosevelts
denial that the government has
exerted pressure for production OF
propaganda films or by his asser-
ton that he had not noticed prop
aganda in current films.
The president made the remarks
at his press conference late yes
terday, plainly indicating that ne
has little sympathy with the inVes-
tiation being conducted by SEN
ate commerce subcommittee headed
by Sen. D. Worth Clark, D., Ida.
Sen Gerald P Nye, r., N. D., CO.
author of resolution which resultefN
in the investigation, said he was not'
surprised by the presidents state
ment; that he had expected for
some time" the administration would
use pressure" against the inquirYn
HUNTING FACTS"
Clark said the objective of the
subcommittee was not to "persecute
anybody" lThe investigation, he
said, is still in fact-finding stage
and IF the movies can prove their
case they have nothing to worry
about.
ION the basis of evidence thus
far presented to the subcommittee
he said, I'VE are perfectly justified
in concluding tentatively that the
industry produces such (hate in
spiring) films despite the outcry OF
theater operators and patrons
against them.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been very
busy man lately and it is improb-
| able that he has had time to see
many of these films, most of which
have been released during the past
six months"
PROMPTED BY CHARGE
The presidents denial that the
government has eXerted pressure for
production of propaganda films was
prompted by a question about a
letter that Clark produced yester-
day, II was from theater oper.
ator in st. Mary's, Ida, and COM

of large production companies for

The operator enclosed a letter fror.

of the valley AAA office, farmers
may plant 100 per cent soil depict

There are 60 such practices listed
in the l940 handbook and from this
list the Imperial Valley conserVa-

most applicable to this section.
The 1912 farm program, Miller
said, has been adjusted to the de-

NO GENERAL ALLOTMENTS
In order to supply sufficient

is girl in the story, even though
it dates back before her marriage,

Everybody knows the wife who

make it really funny. she lets every
one in on the fact that he really
didn't say or do just what he claims
he did.
You'll recognize, too, the woman
who is sure her husband is boring

mentions anything that has to do

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 30. UP)-
Charles Ray. Jne round-faced in
nocent who earned a fortune in the
early days Of the movies slickering
the city slickers in dozens of films,
wound up today in federal court
with a bankruptcy petition listing
his assets at nil and his debts at
$2595.
The 50-year old Ray, balding a
little on top and thickening a little
around the middle told the Judge
a collection agent was bounding
him for $766 while a typewriter
company was trying to collect $18
for rent of a machine on which he
vainly had attempted to earn his
living.
Now the typewriter is gone too,
and all Ray has is a pile of partly
finished movie scripts, magazine
articles, and philosophical tracts
for which the nibbles have been
few and far between.
But that" he said, "is the way
life is. And by now I am getting
used to the knocks"
Last June he married Yvonne
Guerin, French actress. His first
wife, Clare Grant Ray, who mar
ried him in 1915 when his for
tunes we're beginning to boom, had
divorced him six years ago, intro
ducing in evidence a letter from
another woman, written in French
and calling him "cherie Charle-e-e."
For the last several years Ray
has been playing bit parts in the
talkies with long waits between
pay checks. When last seen report
ers write he was playing the part
of a fireman at Universal Studios
and hoping for better times to
come. He said then that he had
learned about philosophy during
his lean years and that he indend-
ed to write book about it, mainly
for the benefit of other rich men
who suddenly found themselves
penniless.
