HOOVER'S ACTION

WASHINGTON, July 37 (AP) The
action of President Hoover In turn
ing over control of the reconstruction'
corporation directorate to Democrats,
by the appointment to the board yes
terday of Atlee Pomerene of Ohio,
was being weighed for political sig
nificance today In the capital.
Word from Cleveland was that the
former senator would not be here to
take his post until next week. Mean
while, although keeping their opin
ions to themselves In general for the
present, legislators- at the oapltal
conjectured whether the move would
nave a reflex In the presidential cam
paign. Representative Ralney, the Demo
cratic floor leader In the house, ex
pressed the view that although men
of his party allegiance will hold four
of the seven directorships, the ad
ministration "can't dodge" respon
sibility for the new relief law that
the corporation must administer.
' There la no Indication today when
the last director, who must be a
Republican, will be appointed.

"0, She Dances Such A Way"
That s What Cincinnati High School Annual Said Of Libby Holman
In Predicting Her Career On Stage
CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) Tobac
co, king In North Carolina, rolled Into
millions of clgarets and In turn pro
ducing a fortune varolusly estimated
to from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000.
Smith Reynolds, the heir, a strange
youth who loved aviation but scorned
a formal education, dead at 30, the
victim of "hands unknown." ...
The grand opera house In Cin
cinnati, where In the chorus began
the career of Libby Holman, beautiful
and talented daughter of a Cincin
nati lawyer. Her deep-throated voice
made her name bright on Broadway
as a "torch singer." . , ,
These are the elements fitted Into
romance that ended In mysterious
tragedy a tragedy that Libby Hol
man called "(hat crash of the uni
verse, everything falling around me."
The annual of Hughes 1tgh school
here, where Libby was born, gives
the world its first glimpse of the girl
who was to preside over the beautiful
estate of Smith Reynolds at Wtnaton
Salem. The 1020 annual, the year she was
graduated, said: -
"Elizabeth Is one of the most
original girls In our class. But, O,
she dances such a way. Her contri
butions to old Hughes have made her
famous. She Is a talented actress,
too. We all expect to see 'Libby'
before the footlights some day. In
deed, she has already given us many
manifestations of the art."
Prom Hughes she went to the Uni
versity of Cincinnati, where she fin
ished her four-year course In three
years.
A full page In the university an
nual of 1023 was devoted to her ac
tivities. Prominent waa a picture of
her as "Violet Fields" In a comedy,
"Fresh Paint." She was a member
of the Woman's league, Mummers
Dramatic society, Y. W. C. A., Varsity
vanities, French club, History club,
and took part In Greek games and
Interclass athletics.
William Fields, a former Cincinnati
theatrical man, tells how she entered
the show business. Fields was con
nected with the Greenwich Follies,
playing Cincinnati In 1926, when
Libby applied to Paul Hlllman, man
ager of the show. There was a va
cancy in the chorus, and she was
given the job.
Soon she took the place of Rosalie
CUxe, the comedienne of the show.
Then she replaced Florence Moore at
the Shubert In New York.
The slip of a surgeon's knife. It
was believed, ruined her voice for
singing, but by accident she discov
ered that her odd contralto put a
new "blues" note In "blues songs."
She became famous with her
"Moanln' Low" and "Body and Soul."

OBTAINED
FRAUDULENT ACTS
SALEM, July 28. (AP) Investiga
tion of conspiracy between real es
tate owners and war veterans to de
fraud the state In securing loans
the World War Veteran:' State Aid
commission was started here today,
following the rejection of two loans
believed of this nature by the com
mission. State police officials ..were
asked to assist In the Investigation.
Jerrold Owen, secretary tojhe com-
mlaston, announced that In the two
cases where loans were rejected, one
from saltern Oregon and the other
from southern Oregon, It ws evident
that real estate owners had given
their property, to aon.e World war
veteran who had not yet taken ad
vantage of his loan, then after the
loan was secured the property would
be transferred to the original owner.
Owen said this form of conspiracy
has resulted from the difficulty In
securing loans on real estate, with
the bonus commission being virtually
the only source for such loans In the
state, but made only to World war
veterans. Many veterans have not
secured loans and some of these are
being exploited by property owners
desiring loans for business purposes,
he declared.
