saying, well, well, you'd never

know you look and feel terrible.
IF the boys want to talk about

WASHINGTON, Juy 14.-R-Se-
nator Hart (R-Conn) said tonight
that Japan eventually must be re-
organized and reconstructed with
out the imperial system and its
tied-in Shintoism, tyranny, corrup-
ton, secret nationalistic societies
and gangsterism in general"
He advanced this view in partl-
cipating with Senator Ebert D..
Thomas D-Utah) in an NBC broad
cast on far eastern policy. Both
men are intimately acquainted with
Far Eastern problems.
"The absurd myth of the en-
peror's divine origin, and the other
absurdities which have been hung
upon the Midako Institution, must
be abolished" Hart said, adding:
1--WE cannot expect the japanese
to observe the moral laws which
are to govern the civilized world,
until those institutions have been
completely discredited.
Sterling Fisher, director of the
NBC University of the Air asked
Senator Thomas:
Should our policy be to deve'
lop democratic forces in Japan, OF
let them develop themselves"
1--WE will have to maintain or

land leave the way open for the
japanese to develop their own

FARLEY FOR FREE
| TRADE SUGGESTED

n WASHINGTON, July II (F) -
A general international economic
conference to consider ''practlcal
steps" to achieve freee ON OF IN
ternational trade was suggested TO-
day by four republican senator's.
q Until one is held, they said, con-
federation of the Breton Woods
"a agreements for an international
monetary fund and an internation-
al bank should be deferred.
The four, Senators Taft (Ohio)
Millikin (R-Ohio), Butler R-Neb)
and Thomas (R-Idaho), outlined
their views in a minority report
as members of the Senate Banking
Committee.
They voted in committee against
legislation for United States partl-
cipation in the $9,100,000 interna-
tional bank and the 1900, 900, 0OO
monetary fund. Already passed by
the House, the measure was ap-
proved 14-4 by the committee and
will come up in the Senate Monday.
Worked out at conference OF
representatives Of a. nations at
Breton Woods, N. H., last summer,
the agreement calls for United
States subscription of $3,175, 000,-
900 to the banks capita and ST.
$50, 900, 900 to the monetary fund.
The declared purposes of the
bank are to make or guarantee
long-term loans for rehabilitation
and development. That of the fund
is to stabilize monetary exchange
and eliminate competitive exchange
depreciation.
The committee majority in a
report filed earlier declared the
program will help preserve peace
by making possible an expansion
of international trade
But the minority asserted that
'Tthe net result of the present bill
is to waste our money and &C
complish nothing
n when the world is stabilized, a
general sterilization fund may be
desirable,' they continued. 1T
could probably be much smaller
than the one now proposed and 1t
should, of course, be confined de-
finitely to sterilization operations.
We question whether the govern
nent should ever guarantee inter
4 national investment.

Night Mayor
Of Hollywood
By ROBERT MYERS

HOLLYWOOD.-The night mayor
of movietoWn' Vine street is a
pretty little blonde who weighs "a
pounds in her evening gown, and
is the only woman nightclub
owner in Hollywood.
Peggy Cleary is the name, and
the story of blue-eyed Peggy might
be told thus: From Vine j.. to
Broadway to Wall Street . .
to Fifth Avenue and back to
Vine.
She's the same Peggy Cleary
who abandoned a career in silent
pictures for a business career in
New York :.
Opened her own brokerage firm
and started the staid New York
Stock Exhange with deter
mined bid to buy a seat 49,.
Survived the '29 crash and
turned, without remarkable sue
cess, to dabbling in theatres .
Was a pal of the original might
mayor Jimmy Walker, and other
playboy characters as the Roaring
Juveniles faded into the subdued
'Thirties.
Contested those once fashion
able charity bazaars with Lady
Thelma Furness and Mrs. Gloria
Vanderbilt.
And now =.
Well, Poppy, after most I'M
typical era of silence, bobbed up
recently as the new owner OF
Morocco, a nightclub deep in the
heart of what servicemen call
Liberty Lane" or Vine street.
You have never seen diplomacy
at it's keenest until you've seen
this tiny. trim little blonde per
suade" rugged, thirsty sergeant
that what he really demands is
rot another drink, but a cup OF
coffee, personally administered by
Peggy back in the kitchen.
Retracing Peggy's interesting
past, she left Hollywood late ir
the 'Twenties after numerous anc
choice bit roles, including fea
ture spot in D. w. Griffith's Fly
ing Pat" 1t must have given hel
an idea, for she took flyer in the
Chicago grain market, on the ad
vice of a brother-in-law, and be
gan to coin money.
Soon she became famous in New
York as the girl firancier.'
Feature writer's did stories or
"woman's place in business
and decided that "a pretty face
is no disadvantage in the stock
market" She was credited witt
cleaning up 100000 in transac
tons, and soon she announced
she wanted to buy a seat on the
New York Stock Exchange.
About this time a national mag
azine looked the little lady over
and of he- exchange membership
ambition wrote:
Apparently she has two ma
jor qualifications-$375, 900, ane
that firmness Of jaw possessed b!
croupie-s at Monte Carlo"
That was in April, 1928, ant
Poppy says it caused furore: 81
much so that during little voy
age to Deauville, France, the ex
change governors decided to re
ject her bid. She said there wer
technical reasons given, but sh
suspects the governors dldn'
quite believe all that had bee
written about "women's place Il
business"
Peggy escaped the market cras
without major catastrophe, an
continued to operate her oW
brokerage, with offices on FIT
avenue, until 1884. Then she CAV
up business, tried the stage, an
somewhere in here managed to &c
married, but this matter is

Hunters Body
Is Recovered
Componion Still
is Unreported

The body of one of two Har-
rison township men who disap-
peared while on a duck-hunting
trip last Nov. 4, was recovered
Sunday evening by DETROIT po-
lice of the harbor-master's divi-
sion.
The body, that of Ernest Hor-
vath, % years old, of 2460 JEFF
ferson avenue, was held at the
Wayne county morgue today.
Still missing is the body of
Delos B. Mccormick, 32-year-
old insurance company field
man, who accompanied Horvath
on the ill-starred hunting trip.
The 16-foot cupboard motor
boat in which the hunters were
last seen as they left shore near
the Johnston trailer camp on
the morning of Nov. 4, was re-
covered a few days later, cap
sized and partially submerged
about two miles off shore.
Marks on the hull, investigat-
ed by sheriff's officers, proved
to be the imprint of propeller
blades and at first it was fear
ed that the hunters had been
run down by a power boat.
Inquiry, however, revealed
that the location of the marks
indicated the boat had been
struck after having been capsiz-
ed, officers concluded.
Investigators expressed the
fear that the boat had been
swamped in heavy seas.
Mr.. Horvath, who was en-
ployed as a machine operator in
Detroit war plant, is survived
by his wife, Leila, and a son, Vic
tor, now living in Flint. Other
survivors include his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Horvath,
of St. Johns, Mich, and four
brothers and three sisters: Will
liam, of South Bend, Ind, Ste
phen, of Flint, and Rudolph and
Thomas, of the u. S. Army, and
Mrs. Helen 10th, of Detroit, Mrs.
Marie 10th of Elkhart, Ind, and
Mrs. Carolyn Brooks, of Kel-
sey, Mich.

new, Episcopal minister, offici-
ating. Burial was in the Wood
mere cemetery, under direction
