He sternly told the senate muni- tions committee his firm “never did such a thing in our lives.” Repeatedly Senator Clark (Dem., Mo.) contended it was plain from documentary evidence that Morgan’s support of the British pound was withdrawn, with resultant complica- tions for America’s booming war trade, to force Wilson’s hand. The banker replied the House of j Morgan had acted under orders from | England, for which it bought $3,000,- 000,000 of goods in the war-time. i Didn’t Give Reasons “They didn’t give us their reasons at all times by any means,” he laugh- ed, then added sharply: “There have been direct accusations that New York bankers brought on the war. That is one of the things we haven’t been particularly pleased with and one of the things I want to deny.” | There was evidence that, after the | foreign exchange panic, Wilson let! down the bars to loans he had for- | bidden previously on the grounds of neutrality.

A heart attack Thursday ended the career of the 38-year old actor, who climbed from extra ranks to stardom on the screen, then faded into retire- ment because his voice was too high- pitched for the “talkies.” A large share of the fortune his fame reaped was swept away in the stock market debacle of 1929, but in August of that year he signed a three-year contract with Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer which reportedly paid him $500,000 annually. The estimate of Gilbert's estate was made by his attorney, Judge Peyton H. Moore, who said “he could have lived to a ripe old age in luxury on the income of his investments. Lived Within Income “His fortune included extensive real property, annuities and _ securities. Income from these provided for his current expenditures.” Judge Moore declined to say wheth- er Gilbert left a will, and how his es- tate would be distributed, pending the funeral. Private services will be conducted Saturday morning in a Beverly Hills mortuary chapel, with other relatives and close friends attending by invita- tion. Rev.

Four Women Mourn From four women whom Gilbert had married and from glamorous cele- brities linked with him in romance came expressions of grief at his sud- den passing. Blonde Virginia Bruce, who divorced him in May, 1934, cried: “This is the most terrible shock I've ever known. I cannot realize Jack is gone.” She has a daughter, 3 years old, by the marriage. Other ex-mates of the actor are Ina Claire, New York comedienne; Leatrice Joy, brunette actress: now Mrs. Wil- liam Spencer Hook, Jr., Los Angeles, and Olivia Burwell, a non-profes- sional, married to J. T. Morgan, of Phoenix, Ariz, Miss Joy has a daugh- ter by Gilbert. Greta Garbo Informed Greto Garbo, who was one of the actor’s outstanding romances, learned of nis death in Stockholm, Sweden. i They last played together in 1934 in ‘Queen Christina.” Failing health had caused Gilbert to retire from social life in the film colony in recent months, but he kept open house in his big mansion over- looking Beverly Hills, Marlene Dietrich, German star, whose friendship with the handsome actor was well known, said he told her month ago he had suffered a heart-| ttack while swimming in his pool. “He just laughed it off and said it was nothing to be worried about,” she recalled. Talked Before Death “I talked to him the day before his death.

PHILADELPHIA LANDS DEMOCRATIC RALLY FOR $200,000 CASH Will Carry Campaign Into Heart of Industrial East on dune 23 | Four Men Executed | ? Washington, Jan. 10—(?)—The Democratic party was off to a flying start Friday toward a well stocked campaign chest, by virtue of selecting Philadelphia for its convention city and the recent series of Jackson day dinners, Complete reports on returns from the 2,000 Jackson day dinners will not be known for several days, but the party treasury held a cool $200,000 in cash from the Pennsylvania city which won the convention late Thursday after a stiff bidding contest. The decision of the national com- mittee carries the Democratic conven- tion into the heart of the industrial east, home grounds of many of the businessmen who oppose the New Deal. But Chairman Farley has dis- counted the political importance of the convention site. Chicago $50,000 Behind Chicago had been reported in the lead for the convention when the na- tional committee met. But the Illi- nois city offered only $150,000. San Francisco bid $201,000 but did not put up the money. Philadelphia's Republican mayor, 5. Davis Wilson, offereti $200,000 in cash. plus a free convention hall, and a number of other concessions. He es- timated the total value of the bid at $250,000 to $300,000. Convention Meets June 23 The convention will meet June 23, two weeks after the Republicans con- vene in Cleveland. By getting the convention hall free, the Democrats will be able to use much of the $200,000 as a start for their campaign fund. They hoped virtually to wipe out their $400,000 deficit with receipts from the Jackson day dinners, Only one voice was raised agains: & resolution reaffirming the commit- tee'’s loyalty to President Roosevelt and ratifying his administration. That came from Gov. Eugene Talmadge, of Georgia, who had already been count- ed outside the Roosevelt ranks.

Mr. Roose- velt made no reference to the supreme court. Leaders Hear Wallace As the president spoke, Secretary Wallace was addressing farm leaders summoned to “advise” the New Deal on another farm program. In line with the president's views is an indication to the farm con- ference by Chester C. Davis, adminis- trator of the dead AAA, that his per- sonal preference for a new program involved soil conservation with the Possible use of a domestic allotment plan This proposal would pay a boun- ty to farmers on their allotted share of domestic consumption. Speaking to the farmers assembled in Secretary Wallace’s office, Davis said he believed conditional payments to farmers would be permitted under the supreme court’s AAA decision, Payments might be made, he indi- vated, for positive use of land for soil conseravtion purposes, thus indirectly keeping a check upon overproduction. As a basis for these conditional pay- ments it was indicated the domestic allotment plan might be used. The farmers elected William Settle of Indiana, a member of the Farmers’ National Grain corporation, as tem- porary chairman to preside at the farmers’ discussions. Wallace Speaks Formulation of a new farm plan for using 50,000,000 surplus acres “to serve the long-time welfare of the farmer, the consumer and the voice- less land” was projected by Wallace. He told the agricultural leaders “we believe” such a can be de- vised, but did not give his own views on the method. He lashed “obstructionists to the future welfare of agriculture,” flayed “special interests” that “would be de- lighted to give 6-cent cotton, 30-cent wheat, 5-cent lard, 8-cent tobacco to foreign nations,” and asserted: “I believe the AAA has steadily been directed to the general welfare and that now we have an opportu- nity to draft another bill which I hope will be just as decisively in the farm interest as the AAA.” After hearing Wallace, the farmers went to another auditorium in an- other agriculture department build- ing where discussions, headed by their own chairmen, were begun. Wallace did not attend this session. Atmosphere Cheerful The atmosphere was cheerful, but the farm leaders appeared deter- mined. A hurried survey disclosed no central interest in any single farm program but most farmers appeared (Continued on Page Two) BLOCKED HIGHWAYS HALT AUTO THEFT Car Stolen in Front of Capitol Recovered by Marshal At Regan Snow-blocked highways foiled Clarence Allen, 33, of New Salem when he attempted to escape with a car he took without permission from in front of the capitol here Thursday afternoon.
