REPORT CLEARS FRENCH CHIEFS IN SEAR RAID Secret Inquiry by U. S. Lays Anti-Dollar Campaign to International Ring. fly Unit'd Press PAR Tfi s, April 15.—The French government and Bank of France have been "completely exonerated” in the recent anti-dollar campaign by a secret report sent to the United States department, it was learned today. The report, made by American officials at the suggestion of American business men here, followed a lengthy investigation in Paris financial circles. Instances were cited in the report where the Bank of France made heavy purchases of dollars to support American currency. The government claims the attacks were part of an international bear raid to depress international bourses and discredit the financial standing of various nations. The anti-dollar campaign, the report said, was engineered by a ring of international speculators said to include a number of continental bankers and brokers.

MONTGOMERY IS A LOVER THIS TIME TECHNICAL experts have many tasks In modem talking pictures. In ‘ But the Flesh Is Weak,” Robert Montgomery’s new starring picture opening today at Loew’s Palace, these tasks ranged all the way from finding an expert on European gambling casinos to English cookery and full-course dinners. The new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture is a film version of Ivor Novello’s stage play, "The Truth Game.” In one scene. London society is shown in a fashionable casino, and "Russian bank” is played. One of the elaborate sequences is a great formal dinner given by Frederick Kerr in the role of a British duke.

Technical experts reproduced such a dinner from one actually given in London. Interiors of famous British castles, the Ascot races, and other highly specialized "local color” are in the new production, which Jack Conway directed. Montgomery, as the debonair Max, playboy and fortune hunter, is surrounded by a specially interesting cast in the new picture. Nils Asther, Swedish screen hero, who retired temporarily from the screen to master English when the talking pictures came in, returns in the role of Prince Paul. Nora Gregor, former Max Reinhardt stage star in Vienna, and Heather Thatcher, famous London stage star, C. Aubrey Smith, Edward Everett Horton, Frederick Kerr and others are among the players. Featurettes comprising the balance of the bill will include Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts in their newest

WHEAT'S CLIMB GIVES FARMERS MEAGER CHEER Doubled Prices Needed to Offset Crop Damage, Growers Assert. BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON JR. United Press Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY, Mo.. April 15. Wheat growers of the southwest watching the bull movement on the nation’s grain markets today were hesitant to predict any material financial benefit for themselves. lthough the recent rise has carried wheat futures up about 8 cents, farmers feel that drought, wind and late freezes have done damage that only doubled quotations can equalize. Reports from six wheat states of the southwest indicate a yield of 224,900,000 btishels this year compared with 460,774,000 in 1931. To compensate for this expected drop in the size of the crop, it

would be necessary for the growers to receive double the price paid a year ago. And farmers who hauled their wheat to market in the summer of 1931 received less than the estimated cost of production. In 1931, when they reaped thengreatest wheat crop in history, those farmers who had to sell at harvest time received only 25 to 30 cents a bushel. A Kansas City market observer said that while the present rise would make a -‘nice profit” for traders who bought wheat at the low- quotations of last fall, growers would benefit but little. The average farmer, while holding some of the 1931 grain, lacks a sufficient amount to realize any large sum from the upturn, according to this authority. Most of the surplus has passed from the farmers’ hands, grain men believe. “Boy Pastor” to Study Medicine j By United Press CAMBRIDGE, Mass..

BALLOT-BUYING QUIZ PRUMISED BY REPUBLICANS Alfalfa Bill Charges That Backers of Roosevelt Pay for Votes. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Prew Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 15.—Republicans promised today that if evidence was presented there would be fair and full investigation of charges that Roosevelt supporters bought Democratic presidential primary votes in lowa and Nebraska. This promise coincided with statements by senate supporters of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt welcoming any investigation of what they described as “the least expensive campaign ever run with such success.” Senator Arthur R. Robinson (Rep.. Ind.) twice has called the senate's attention to complaints attributed to Governor William H. (Alfalfa Bill)

Murray of Oklahoma that votes were bought in mid-western states. “I don't know what there may be to the Murray charges,” Senator L. J. Dickinson (Rep., la.) said today, "but if there is anything to them, they will be investigated.” Dickinson, a newcomer to the senate, has been picked by Republican leaders to head the campaign fund investigating committee this year. The regular Republicans want to insure against a repetition of their experience in 1930, when Senator Gerald P. Nye (Rep., N. D.), a progressive and often an insurgent, got control of the committee and investigated in a way not always pleasing to the regulars. PERSISTENT COPS FIND LIQUOR TANK IN WALL Arrest Restaurant Man as Second Search Discloses Booze. Six policemen searched for three hours Thursday night without finding liquor in the restaurant of Pete Ilieff, 45, at 1001 North Capitol avenue. Returning after they apparently had completed the raid, they discovered a specially constructed tank concealed in the wall of a closet from which they report draining four and one-half gallons of liquor. Ilieff is held.
