SENATE’S NEW RELIEF BILL IS BEFORE HOUSE Garner. However. May Force Congress Passage of ‘Hoover Measure.’ Hli limit Sin i ini WASHINGTON. July 13 Just as the unemployment relief bill was , called up for action in the house today, Senator Hiram Bingham <Rep., Conn.) moved to reconsider the vote | Tuesday night by which the $2,122,000,000 measure was passed in the senate. Bingham challenged the $322,000,000 public works appropriation in the bill as extravagant. Bingham cited the fact that the measure proposed to spend as much for public works as had been saved this session by cutting appropriations. It appeared likely, however, that relief legislation may be enacted before night if the house accepts the senate measure and starts it on its way to the White House. Adjournment Is Near Such action will bring adjournment of congress definitely in sight. ! The second major dispute which has _ blocked it, over forced retirement ] of officers in the war department appropriation bill, nearer an end with surrender of the house to the senate. This means the officer personnel of the army will be kept at its present strength and a three and a halfmillion dollar economy measure w’ill be rejected. Speed records set bv the President in vetoing the Wagner-Garnei relief bill were equaled by the senate Tuesday in reporting anew bill from committee, debating it and adopting it. The house moved with similar swiftness, reporting a companion j bill from committee, and arranging ' a special rule for its consideration today. •Hoover Bill’ in House In minor particulars the house bill meets Mr. Hoover's wishes somewhat more closely than that passed by the senate, and if Speaker John N. Garner should insist on its adoption today, instead of taking up the bill the senate has approved and acting on it, he will be assisting the opposing ticket ! in the coming campaign rather j than his own party leaders. A complicated parliamentary situation will arise if Garner insists on passage of the house bill, probably forcing new action in the j senate, and causing several days’ delay. The principal difference between , the two bills as they now stand is j a provision in the senate bill giving the federal reserve board power to discount notes and drafts of any individual or corporation if ade- j quale credit can not be obtained from banks, and if unusual circumstances exist. Sponsored by Glass Assistant Treasury Secretary A. A. Ballantine told the house ways and means committee Tuesday that this provision was unacceptable to Mr. Hoover. It was sponsored in the senate by former Treasury Sec- ! retary Carter Glass. The senate bill also provides for monthly reports to congress and the President of all Reconstruction Finance Corporation activities, and forbids directors, or former directors of the corporation, to receive loans. The house bill adds provision for a $7,360,000 naval air station construction program, to be undertaken at the discretion of the administration. k Both bills make $300,000,000 available for loans to states through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation on the basis of need, with loans reimbursable through future federal board allotments. Assails Army Provision Both provide that approximately $1,500,000,000 shall be a\ailable for loans to self-liquidating construction projects and for marketing agricultural products. They provide for establishment of regional agricultural credit corporations in the twelve federal land bank districts. Immediate public works construction is limited in each measure to j $136,000,000 for road building, with an additional $186,000,000 public | building construction authorized 'when funds shall be available. Before passage of the senate bill Tuesday an unsuccessful attempt was made to strike from it a $15,164,000 army housing program. Senator James Couzens (Rep.. Mich.!, opposed use of government money for officers' quarters, theaters and garages for the army • while men sleep on the ground in the District of Columbia.” Asthma Disappeared Had It 15 Years "I had for IS years." says Mrs. Klir.abrth Woodward. 3460 \V Miehlcan St., Indianapolis.

THE TXDTAXAPOLTS TIMES

Norma Talmadge treated when he first came to the United States. “He remained aloof. He remembered his days as an Italian gardener on a Long Island estate. “I was rather disinterested. I remember one man who was tremendously interested. He lived in a $3-a-week furnished room in Ft. Lee, N. J., to be near the studios. “He now is Neil Hamilton, a high-priced talkie star. We played together in a picture cailed ‘Woman,’ filmed at the Solax studio. Another extra was a Miss Kennedy. I often talked with her while we ate the luncheon provided by the management, a pasteboard box containing a sandwich, a piece of pie, and an orange. Later Miss Kennedy became known as Hope Hampton and was married to Jules Brulatour, millionaire film manufacturer. u tt tt “ A ND I remember working on -tYa picture called ‘Experience.’ It was at the Paramount studio. George Fitzmaurice was the director. One day one of the players cast as Innocence was taken ill and Fitzmaurice gave a-i extra girl a chance. “Her name was Mary Langhanke. They rechristened her Mary Astor. And there was a girl named Estelle Carroll. She was accustomed to horses because her father was employed by a riding academy in Brooklyn. Well, they gave her a part in a hunting sequence. "Soon she married the wealthy John M. Bossevain. Then she divorced him. She now is listed in the social register as living in Paris. “When I was working on the Long Island lots, it became the fashion for various society people to get jobs as extra' The

In their wildest flights Bernhardt or Modjeska never equaled those women. In twenty seconds they could create a nightmare.” Seton greatly enjoyed film acting. Just as those who go to the races talk about the horses and not about themselves. Mr. Seton rarely becomes autobiographical. He would rather discuss first nights, the actresses he has known, the chorus girls who married millionaires, the music hall women who divorced society men, and early melodramas than to talk about himself. “In 1925,” he said, “Leo Ditrichstein suggested that I act on the stage for amusement. It was just after my experience in photoplays. He was one of the best known dramatic stars of my early first-night period. Thirty years before this I had seen him on the opening night of ‘Trilby.’ He was one of the great masters of makeup. He had a large Jewish following, but he was realy a devout Australian Catholic. “Then my friend David Belasco gave me small parts in some of his plays. I always went to Belasco dress rehearsals. I acted with Lenore Ulric in two plays—‘Lulu Bell’ and ‘Mima,’ a play about the infernal regions. “Now I go to the cinema as often as Igo to the theater. I always have liked the movies. When they were first introduced, spectators complained that it hurt their eyes to watch them. I believe Adolph- Zukor took the tickets in one place. “The early movies were regarded with contempt and formed the last act on the bill. I remember that Jesse Lasky’s acts were booked on the circuits with Gus Edwards’ School Days’ troupe.

FARM BOARD’S ‘DEFICIT’ NOW IS 226 MILLIONS Agency Ready for Senate Probe, Chairman Stone Tells House. BY MARSHALL McNEIL Time* Staff Writfr „ WASHINGTON, Jul” 13.—The long-delayed senate investigation of the farm board will enter its preliminary stage when congress adjourns, but actual hearings may not get under way until after the November elections. In the meantime, the board has become a leading issue in the presidential campaign, with Republicans upholding the $500,000,000 agency and Democrats condemning its “stabilization” operations. New figures, just made available in testimony given before the house appropriations committee by James C. Stone, chairman of the board, show a “deficit” of $226,627,000 in its funds resulting from stablization purchases of wheat and cotton. Stone, at the same hearing, appeared to hint that he might resign his post after the senatorial investigation- But at the board’s offices | this intention was denied quickly. . The loss in cotton operation at market values of March 31 amounts |to $82,109,000. and the deficit in wheat stabilization operations, as of the same date, is $144,518,000, or a total of $226,627,000. “I never have worked harder in j my life than I have since I have j been in Washington,” Stone said. “I gave up my business and came here to do this work, but with congress continuously on the backs of the board, largely due, I think, to lack of information, our difficult job , is made just that much harder. “But I am not a quitter. I am ! going to stay here until the senate agriculture committee investigation is held, and I think when the people

TURN DOWN HOOVER Senate Rejects Proposal for Bigger Loan Board. By t nihil Fr WASHINGTON. July 13—The senate has rejected President Hoover's proposal to make the directorate of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation an evenly balanced bipartisan coalition Mr. Hoover wanted to increase the directorate from seven to eight and give the Democrats four instead of three members. There now are four Republicans on the board It was the senate Democrats who insisted on rejection of the plan. Democratic Leader Robinson .said they could see no need for paying another salary when the government was trying to economize. Observers believed the Democrats also wished during the coming campaign to hold the administration alone responsible for the corporation's operations.
