DOUG AND MARY
NOT TO MAKE UP
Hollywood, Calif., Aug. 9 (LP) The
homecoming of Douglas Fairbanks,
film actor and estranged husband
of Mary Pickford, apparently was
awakening much greater interest
among members of the film colony.
News of Fairbanks' return aboard
the steamer Rex with Joseph Sch
enck, producer, today failed to causo
more than an extra ripple upon the
fairly storm-ridden waters of mari
tal gossip. The film capital, still
c:mewhat excited over the divorce
of the Conrad Nagels, had little to
say about "Doug's" return.
Globe-trotting proclivities of the
actor have kept him out of general
conversation. Nor has Hollywood
taken the Lady Ashley affair too
seriously, for film lone in general
can be friendly with other men and
women without attracting undue
comment among their own.
Much more Interest was being
shown Schenck's romance on the
Riviera than the return of Fair
banks. There was optimism for the
first, pessimism for the last.
Reconciliation of "Doug and
Mary" has been generally considered
improoame m Hollywood. And be
sides, Fairbanks has an "itch" to go
to China before long.

SILVER ORDER
TO STIMULATE
METAL BUYING
Br CLAUD Am JAGOH
Associated Press Financial Editor
New York. Aug. 9 UP) Nationali
zation of silver, ordered by Presi
dent Roosevelt today, was Interpret
ed in financial circles as indicating
more vigorous pursuit of the silver
policy outlined in tnt silver pur
chase act of 1034.
This for the moment, It was be
lieved, meant accelerated buying of
the metal by the treasury, and ris
ing world prices for silver.
How soon the treasury might
reach Its ultimate objective of 26
per cent silver for the - nation's
metallic monetary reserves was re
garded as problematical.
Definite Information as to how
this will be calculated, and how
much silver will be required. Is
lacking. It has been assumed that
the treasury, now holding some
500,000,000 ounces, would have to
purchase some 1,000,000,000 ounces
more or virtually all of the known
floating supply In world markets.
The prospect of nationalization of
the stocks In this country, prob
ably In excess of 100,000,000 ounces,
loomed recently with the rise In the
open market price to close to 50
cents an ounce, since the silver act
limited the price which the treasury
might pay for those stocks to that
figure.
If the price should have gone
above 60 cents without nationaliza
tion, the treasury might have had
difficulty In getting holders to sell.
Active buying in foreign markets
is widely expected, with the pro
spect of a sharp rise in the world
price.
Wall Street believes the federal
government is pursuing its silver
purchase program actively at this
time as an answer to the agitation
for Inflation by various groups.
Opinion is sharply divided as to
the effect of the lift in the world
silver price. While silverites hold
that it will Increase the purchasing
power of the east, some monetary
authorities say that It would have
the opposite effect by increasing
the purchasing power of silver cur
rencies and thus having a defla
tionary influence in those countries.
Prof. James Harvey Rogers, eco
nomic advisor to the administra
tion, recently had been studying the
problem In China, and has started
for India.
On the whole, Wall Street has not
been Inclined to regard the silver
purchase policy as outlined In the
new legislation as threatening dan
gerous inflation, and until recently
financial markets have been in
clined to take a passive attitude to
ward the program.
One effect, it is believed, will be
the suspension of an open market
for silver in this country, just as
there Is no open market for gold.
The commodity exchange, however,
was not immediately certain on that
point.

SEES SOLUTION
OF SILVER ISSUE
Reno. Nev Aug. 9 UP) Senator
Key pittman (D., Nev.), greeted
President Roosevelt's proclamation
nationalizing silver today with tne
statement that It will lead to events
which "will settle the silver question
forever."
The Nevadan. who led the senate
fight for the 1934 administration
bill under venicn tne president s ac
tion was taken, halted in the middle
of a busy day during his campaign
for re-election to study the entire
text of the proclamation.
"Action on the proclamation," he
said, "will remove all silver in the
United States from the market ex
cept silverware and silver bullion
expressly excepted from tne opera,
tlon of the proclamation.
"It may add another hundred
millions of ounces oi silver to our
monetary silver In the treasury.
"It is a process that will hasten
the complete absorption of the sil
ver surplus in the world. As this
surplus is absorbed in the treasury
or tne united states, tne price oi
silver wlH steadily rise until It
reaches (1.29 an ounce.
"Then the governments of tne
world will be In a position to open
their mints for unlimited coinage at
the ratio that exists In the United
States.
"This will settle the silver ques
tion forever."
Senator Pittman said he did not
expect to see an immediate "boom'
in the silver Industry.
"The president doesn't want the
price to jump right away," he said.

The liberation order will apply,

BUDGET ESTIMATES
SUBMITTED COUNCIL
Both the building Inspector's de
partment and the city engineer
department have submitted budget
estimates for 1935 as recently ask
ed by the city council. The amounts
estimated are approximately the

timates the 2-mlll street repair tax
fund at (17,000 with (2,160 for sal
ary; (1,620 for assistant engineer's
salary, (1,228 for office-file man
and (300 for supplies. E. O. Bush
ncll, city building Inspector, ask!
(2,100 for salary and (200 for of
fice supplies. He pays his own au
tomobile expensea out of his salary.

SILVER SPOONS,
WATCHES, DIMES
NOT DEMANDED
, Washington, Aug. 9 -W Hold on
to your silver spoons, watches and
dimes the government doesnt want
them.
And dont expect your quarters
and half dollars to turn into any
different kind of money tomorrow
from what they are today.
These things were not changed by
the presidential order today na
tionalizing silver stocks.
What Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary
Morgenthau are doing la calling Into
the treasury stocks of bullion suver
whlch are traded in on the com
mercial markets. These stocks may
range anywhere from 45,000,000 to
250,000,000 ounces.
Buying In this silver at the rate
of 50.01 cents an ounce Is what Is
meant by "nationalizing" silver. It
is taking government ownership of
floating commercial stocks not be
ing used in Industry and commerce.
When gold was nationalized the
government simultaneously adopted
a policy of taking that metal out
of circulation as moneys and stor
ing It in huge treasury and mine
vaults as a permanently-guarded
support for United States money.
But silver is not being taken out
of circulation. You will still jingle
dimes and quarters if you have
them in your pocket.
The president's order is part of
the administrative work in carrying
out the act of congress directing
the treasury to build up a stock of
silver which in relation to the gold
stock will be one of three. The
exact amount will depend on the
variations in the gold stock which
now exceeds (7,000,000,000.

ARMORIES CHIEF
SOURCE OF GUNS
FOR GANGSTERS
Washington, Aug. 9 (LP) Crimin
als have stolen more than 1000 guns
and 23,000 rounds of ammunition
from national guard armories in the
past year and a half, the Justice de
partment revealed today.
Aroused by these figures, which
showed that the government's own
arsenals have become a major
source of supply for the underworld,
Justice department officials have
called the situation to tne attention
of the war department.
"The war department Is anxious
to cooperate and will communicate
with the governors of the various
states in an effort to arrange for
adequate means to protect fire
arms and ammunition," an official
Justice department statement said.
War department officers empha
sized that they were not going to be
saddled with responsibility for the
lax protection of national guard ar
mories. The national guard units. It was
explained, are state organizations
directly responsible to the governor
although the war department exer
cises supervision and supplies many
of the arms.
As government officials moved to
clamp down on this supply of .un
derworld arms, the justice depart
ment announced that the first sen
tence had been imposed under the
new law making robbery ot federal
reserve system banks, a federal of
fense. The convicted man was Char
les E. Redding. He pleaded guilty to
robbery of three banks in Los An
geles and was sentenced to 40 years
imprisonment in the federal peni
tentiary at McNeil Island, Wash.
In the number of thefts from na
tional guard armories, Texas led
with nine In which 268 guns were
stolen. Since January 1. 1932, there
have been five raids on Missouri
armories and five in Oklahoma.
