MELLON'S BANK STOCK DEALINGS UNDER SCRUTINY Former Treasury Chief’s Accounts Studied by U. S. Tax Probers. Bit m t*4 press PITTSBURGH. Feb. 22—The ai government, will seek to determine whether Andrew W. Mellon directed purchase of bank stocks while he was secretary of the Treasury, when the hearing at which it seeks S3.<XXLOOO additional taxes from him resumes next Monday. Government counsel developed that line of questioning just prior to the week-end rece? taken in th 3 hearing yesterday, as it dr w from Mr. Mellon's confidential secretary accounts of the transfer of Mellon holdings to hio brother when he assumed the cabinet post. The secretary’—bespectacled H M. Johnson who has held that position for 21 years—was directed to study the two brothers' business affairs closely and be ready to testify more fully about them Monday. Stocks Transfer Probed Robert H- Jackson, chief government counsel, questioned Mr. Johnson about $lO 000.000 in Jnion Trust Cos. of Pittsburgh stock which Andrew W turned over to his brother, I Richard 8., in 1921. The stock later was passed on to the cabinet member's son. Paul. Mr. Johnson outlined six transac- \ tions involving acquisition of more i bank stock, and then disclosed loans to R. B. Mellon totalling about $220,000. in April. 1928. It was that $220,000 that Mr. 1 Jackson directed Mr. Johnson to study dur ng the recess so that he could say whether it was used to, purchase other bank stock. ( barged High Interest Mr. Johnson admitted that R. B. Mellon, in repaying loans to Andrew W, had been charged high intert*t rates. When the elder brother's affairs were turned over to R. B„ the interest was fixed at

'Scarlet Pimpernel’ Is Really Great Picture

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

SOMETIMES a picture comes along that sets me yelling out loud with glee Such a movie is The Scarlet Pimpernel" and I started extolling

its virtues as soon as I had seen a preview of it. The mere fact that Leslie Howard plays the chief lead of Sir Percy Blakeneyof London, the oftdisguised "Scarlet Pimp ernel" who cheats -the French guillotine of many French aristocrats, is sufficient guarantee

iO

Mr. Howard

that the picture has been intelligently cast. I never have seen Howard give a poor performance and in this stirring and intriguing story of England and France during the first bloody days of the French Republic when the terrorists were ruling in Paris, he is at his best. Mr. Howard is a polished actor who dignifies the talking screen. Don't be prevented from seeing -The Scarlet Pimpernel’’ by somebody's word that this is a historical costume period picture. Let me tell you that ‘‘The Scarlet Pimpernel" is one of the most human, thrilling stories ever brought to the screen. It is immense theater. From the standpoint of enjoyment, I had 5’ 2 per cent. By October, 1929. however, It had reached 8 per cent. Attorney Jackson told the threeman sub-committee of the board of tax appeals, which is taking the evidence, that the interest rate coincided with dividend rates on the stocks the Treasury Secretary turned over to his brother, and argued that the "beneficial and equitable ownership of said stock has been at all times in A. W. Mellon.” Denying that he owes more than $3,000,000 additional taxes and penalties on his 1931 income. Mr. Mellon is seeking a refund of $139,000 from the government. He paid more than $600,000 taxes that year.

The Theatrical World

one of the greatest times in many a day in seeing this motion picture. nun Mr. Howard does wonders with his role as Sir Percy. Asa titled English gentleman, he appears to be just a foolish fop who recites poetry and dresses very stylishly. The role of his wife. Marguerite, a French girl, Is played by Merle Oberon. Marguerite can not understand how her husband has become such a weakling during the French Revolution. Her discovery that her husband is masquerading as the "Scarlet Pimpernel" develops an intensely stirnng scene. It will make you sic on the edge of your seat. Mr. Howard does a magnificent t job In his dual roles and his diction lis perfect. Miss Oberon is a splendid actress. She has charm and great intelligence. She will go far in this country if given the right vehicles. Take time to watch the masterful work of Nigel Bruce as His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent. Alexander Korda, the producer, and Harold Young, the director, have turned out a marvelous production. Don’t miss it. Now at the Circle. a u a Something Different IF YOU want something different in the line of murder stories, then place ‘‘After Office Hours” on your menu.

Mr. Gable

near the exclusive boathouse of her boy friend whom she was planning to marry after divorcing her hubby. In "After Office Hours,” Mr. Gable is cast as a city editor of a metropolitan newspaper and one can see he knows a little about newspapermen. He loses his temper when his publisher w r ants to soft-pedal the scandal, resigns and goes asleuthing. And he finds the guilty man as well as romance for himself. Constance Bennett is cast as a society girl who becomes a working girl on Gable's force. Miss Bennett has never looked more beautiful than in this picture. She is mighty convincing in her role. She and Gable make a dandy love team, even though they fight most of the time. Billie Burke is cast as the cock-tail-drinking mother of Constance. She turns in a nifty performance. You know there is a lot of fun in this story because Stuart Erwin is cast as a newspaper camera man.

ITALY FREE OF FOREIGN NEEDS, OFFICIALS SAY Independent of Imports in Case of War, Board Survey Shows. By l'ni f rd Pr< ** ROME, Feb. 22.—Italy now has full freedom of "initiative and decision” in matters of foreign policy, the supreme defense commission informed the nation today. Its announcement was based on a survey purporting to show that in event of war Italy would be almost independent of foreign imports. * The significance of the statement seemed to be increased by the fact that it was the commission's first public pronouncement on the results of its activities for 12 years, and by an annoncement that an industrial zone was to be created in Bolzano province, in the north. This action was designed to help the province economically, and because of its proximity to the Austrian frontier, to assure that war materials would be handy in event of emergency. In addition, the policy in the Abyssinian dispute became firmer as dispatch of troops to East Africa was speeded. j Problem to Be Settled The Supreme Defense Commission held its fifth and last session of the year last night, and adjourned until Feb. 3 1936, At the end of the meeting, its first communique of.the sort in 2 years w’as issued. A most ample survey had been made, the statement said, of what would be needed in an emergency from all viewpoints, including supplies for the armed forces as well as their distribution and consumption. “The traditional belief that Italy is poor in materials is no longer justified," said the communique, “and must be denied.” The communique then outlined various problems and what the Fascist government had done by stimulating production to solve them, as follows: Meat Supply Inadequate Foodstuffs—The national agriculture will be able fully to supply w : heat, rice, corn and other cerea's —the meat supply would not be sufficient, and means to meet such a deficiency ought to be adopted. Metals—The country possesses appreciable resources of metals for commoner use such as iron, lead, zinc and aluminum, which industry will be able fully to utilize and develop. Nitrogen—A number of plants have been constructed, including those abroad with Italian patents. These are functioning with satisfactory efficiency. Clothes—None from abroad would be needed. Hemp among other products is a resource of great importance in the textile field. CITY GIRL ON HONOR LIST AT SWEET BRIAR Frances May Morrison Wins Nomination Fourth Time. Miss Frances May Morrison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Morrison, 3038 Ruckle-st, today was placed on the Dean’s List at Sweet Briar College, Sw'eet Briar, Va.
