DIVORCE PLANNED BY POLLY MORAN Hearing for Mate July 29 on Deadly Weapon Assault Charge. Ey the Associated Press. BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., July 16.— Even a doctor couldn't keep Polly Moran in bed today as the plump star of film comedy set out to divorce the real estate broker who didn’t like being called “Mr. Polly Moran.” The broker's most important en- gagement, however, is 13 days hence. Under his real name of Martin Malone he must appear in Justice Court July 29 for preliminary hearing on charges he assaulted his actress-mate with a deadly weapon when the dawn came up on Beverly Hills yesterday. Polly, a veteran of 23 years of movie making, said she would consult her at- torney on the question of marital free- dom from the 32-year-old Malone and take the required legal steps after the criminal case is settled. “There's absolutely no chance for a reconciliation,” she declared. “I feel sorry for Mr. Malone, but I'm through.” On the advice of her physician, Dr. Frank Nolan, the actress refused to sign the assault complaint against Malone and a deputy sheriff had to supply the signature. As Polly told the story, with gestures for the news photographers, highly | dramatic incidents preceded the screams of “Don't kill me!” which aroused the neighborhood about the Martin-Moran mansion and brought & siren-screaming car of officers to the door early yesterday. “Marty is starting to campaign for some judge,” the comedienne related. *So to help him, I suggested we be- gin a drive to get one of those fire- fighting machines for the Forestry Service boys. You know—it climbs hills, jumps over ditches and even survives earthquakes. “So Marty went out Tuesday eve- ning to see a man about a deposit on the outfit. About 3 o'clock he came in. I was just getting into bed. I saw something was the matter, so I smiled and said pleasantly, ‘What's eating you, Marty, you look awful. Threatened to Blow Out Brains. “‘I'll show you what's eating me,’ he says, and he went over and got the gun out of the drawer. ‘I'm going to blow out your brains and mine, | too,’ he said, ‘and do you know why?’ | “‘Put down that gun, Marty’ I| said. ‘I don’t know what you're talk- ing about.’ * ‘Somebody just Polly Moran,’ he says. hink of that?'

The “ceiling” was hit almost at the open- ing of the trading session. Wheat also rose rapidly. Deaths from heat exceeded 4,100, with most of the fatalities centered in Minnesota, Tllinois, Michigan, Wis- consin and Missouri. The Minnesota total was 741, with 599 dead in Mich- igan and 485 in Illinois. Maximum temperatures of 100 and higher were general yesterday over the Missouri Valley, the Central Plains and the Middle Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valleys. New all-time highs were established at Peoria, Ill., where the mercury reached 114 de- grees; at Keokuk, Iowa, with 112; Wichita, Kans., 110; Oklahoma City, Okla., 106, and Springfield, Mo., 106. Rains fro ma trace to .3¢ of an inch fell in Green Bay, Wis.; Indian- apolis, Louisville, Springfield. IL.; St. Louis, Helena, Mont., the Southern States and Rocky Mountain regions. The heat centered its fury on the plains States and the Mississippi and ©Ohio Valleys. The forecast for to- morrow’ was continued heat, except for cooler weather in the Dakotas, Northwestern Minnesota and North- western Nebraska Cooler in Illinois. Slightly cooler weather was wel- comed in Illinois and the Upper Ohio Valley. At Bismarck, N. Dak., Rexford G. ‘Tugwell, resettlement administrator, planned to cut all red tape to speed relief for the drought-stricken farm- ers. He hoped to develop quick co- operation with the Works Progress Administration in granting loans and providing work. The State of Oklahoma asked that its W. P. A. quota be increased to 20,000 to care for the drought- stricken farmers. The request has not been acted upon. A meeting was called for Monday to determine steps to be taken in the cattle industry if the drought continued. Dr. Andrew Boss, University of Minnesota agronomist, declared most of the Minnesota corn crop would be ruined unless rains fell within a week. Small grains were cut for feed in Northwestern Minnesota and along the Western border. Pastures “Practically Gone.” A Federal meteorologist’s bulletin at Lincoln, Nebr., said “All vegetation deteriorated steadily” during the last week. There was still the possibility of a fair corn crop if timely rains were forthcoming. Pastures were re- ported as “practically gone,” with meadows and the second alfalfa crops “very short.” No relief was sighted for today in Jowa by C. D.

Blood, Federal crop statisti- cian in Oklahoma, said that unless rain | fell within 10 days cattle feed supplies | would be exhausted and owners would | have to move cattle rapidly and in wholesale lots. For the relief of dwellers in the drought-desolated areas of the Da- kotas, Western Minnesota and Eastern Montana and Wyoming, & conference of State and Federal officials yesterday ‘ at Bismarck, developed a comprehen- sive program for submission to Tug- well. It embodied these features: ! Farmers desiring to keep small | live-stock herds may receive grants | for the purchase of feed and sub- | sistence funds, to be repaid by work on W. P. A. projects. Owners of large-scale cattle enter- prises may obtain loans and grants | to cover cost of shipping animals to | other States for feeding. | Money will be advanced immedi- | ately to all needy families, repayable out of W. P. A. earnings. Resettlement administration allow- ances will be increased where neces- | chased and stored for distribution in ary, feed for live stock will be pur- | the drought area.

Emergency Hospital nurses will be permitted to register for either 8- hour of 12-hour duty, or both, under an agreement reached last night at a confrence between Karl Corby, head of the hospital's Board of Trustees, and the Nurses' Alumni Association. The nurses had requested the shorter hour of duty “to allow them to be much more alert and to give better service,” according to Miss Inez Cadel, president of the Graduate Nurses’ Association of the District. Corby today minimized the impor- tance of the controversy, declaring it was simply a “misunderstanding” be- tween doctors and nurses. He as- serted the *misunderstanding” had been “happily cleared up” for every one concerned. Undér the agreement, doctors will choose nurses from either the 8 or 12 hour list, as desired by the patient. The present rate of pay for nurses is $5 for 8-hour duty and $6 for 12- hour duty. Commenting on reports that nurses had refused to register pending final disposition of their request, Corby asserted that a number had said that they “would feel better With them- selves” if they kept their names off the register until an agreement had been reached.
