RED CROSS DEEDS ARE DRAMATIZED History Is Presented on, Radio Sponsored by Star | and N. B. C. A long record of honorable ser\'icc’ flashed across the air last night as| the American Red Cross presented | & radio dramatization of its history. | The program was sponsored by The | Evening Star and the National Broad- casting Co. in lieu of the usual weekly | address of the National Radio Forum. | The first “scene” presented had its background in the Civil War as Clara | Barton, founder of the American So ciety, administered to the wounded of that conflict. Next came a por- | trayal of President Chester A. Arthur signing the agreement which made the American Red Cross the thirty- second nation to pledge adherence to | the treaty of Geneva. | Other Dramatic Episodes. | Following in quick succession were other dramatic episodes in a career | of service to humanity: Relief activi- | ties in the wake of the Johnstown | flood, first major disaster in which the Red Cross functioned; inaugura- | tion of Red Cross nursing service in | the Spanish-American War, first in- stance where Red Cross nurses were | § allowed in military hospitals; the | comprehensive relief program under- | taken for victims of the Galveston | storm of 1900. when a hurricane took a toll of 4,000 lives and as many homes. | First appeal of the Red Cross for the aid of others, in order that they might pass that aid along. was re- peated as made in 1905. In contrast was the dramatization of the World War appeal by which the Red Cross raised $100.000,000 for relief activities at that time. Domestic Disasters. Dramatization of more domestic disasters followed with portrayal of Red Cross activities in connection with the Pueblo flood of 1921, the Florida hurricane of 1927, the Missis- sippi Valley floods of 1927, the drought of 1931 and the New York floods of this year. | Throughout the broadcast were por- | trayed many of the characters whose support has been vital to the success of the Red Cross—Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Rough Rider in Cuba and Jater President: Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War during the Wilson administration; Gen. John J. Pershing, leader of American forces in France during the World War, and Herbert Hoover, one time Secretary of Com- | merce, later President and many times active in the cause of relief. OPPOSES U. S.

By the Assoclated Press. WEST CHESTER, Pa., November 12.—A Chester County grand jury began today an examination of “un- usual circumstances” in the death of Evelyn Hoey, Broadway show girl, and the conduct and associations of a coroner’s jury which found she died “at the hands of a person or persons unknown.” Miss Hoey, lovely blues singer in musical comedies and fillm shorts, died of a pistol bullet in the farm home of Henry Huddleston Rogers, 3d, son of the late Col. Henry Huddleston Rogers. near Downingtown last Sep- tember 11. Twenty-two jurors, four of them women, began secret sessions after a 10 minute charge .y Judge Walter W.

Judge Windle told the jurors they are to determine first “the circum- stances of the death and decide whether homicide was committed and. if so, by whom. And if you find was committed you will so state in your final presentment.” Secondly, the court instructed, they are to investigate “the conduct and behavior of officials who conducted the inquest and of the coroner's jurors,” and determine whether “in- terference and influence” was hrought to bear in the inquest. | Judge Windle warned them that proceedings in the grand jury room “are secret” and the jurors may not divulge at any time what took place except to “those in authority upon re- quest.” District Attorney William E.

By the Associated Press. An assertion that Nathan Burkan, chairman of the Triborough Bridge Authority in New York City, was “passing the buck™ in determining re- sponsibility for purchase of German steel was made today by Secretary Ickes.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING Something to Think About BY DR. VAUGHAN ~When you are seeking profes- sional advice and service your family physician or dentist pos- sibly understands your needs best. But when a serious opera- tion is to be performed both your family doctor and yourself would want the services of the best surgeon obtainable, . Likewise with Degtal Restora- tions.
