‘Financial Log-Jam Broken’
Henry Morgenthau Moves To End Governments Refunding Plan
WASHINGTON, April 14.—T.P'— Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau. Jr. tonight called for redemption the last remaining war time bends—$1,250,000,000 oi 4th liberty loan 4 1-4 per cent bonds— completing the government's bond refunding program.
“The financial log-jam has been broken,” he said.
The last of the $25,000,000,000 in war time bonds were called for redemption October 15. paving the way for a possible saving of more than $100,000,000 annually in interest charges. The bonds are those whose serial numbers end in three or four.
Smart Business
“This administration has now-called for redemption of eight billion : dollars worth of liberty bonds,” j Morgenthau said. “We did not have ; to call them; they were not due; it w’as good business sense that prompted our action. The bonds j called today bear 4 V;* per cent inter- j est while the average interest rate for all government securities now outstanding is only 2.86.”
Morgenthau explained the action in a radio speech.
“It Is impossible to estimate accurately how much we will save in interest on this new refunding -because it has not jet been completed.” he said, “but I can tell you how* much we are saving on our previous $5,000,000,000 of refundings. In round numbers it amounts to $65,C00,000 a year. If we do as well on the remainder, which seeems to be a fair assumption, there will be an additional saving of $35,000,000 a year. That makes a total of $100,000,000, which will not have to be raised next year from the taxpayers.”
Treasury Sets Pace
The treasury secretary said the treasury had led the way with its refinancing program for other phases of financing and pointed out that corporations and municipalities also are seeking to take advantage of low interest rates now prevailing.
“The great importance of cheap money to improve business conditions is not generally realized.
“During March, 1934, the total volume of corporate refunding amounted to only 12% million dollars with no lowering in the interest rate. But durii.g March of this year, corporate refunding exceeded 112 million dollars—or nine times as much as during the previous March. And the interest rate on the new issues this year shows an average decrease of almost 14 per cent which meant a saving of more than lMs million dollars. This is real refunding. It shows conclusively that the financial log-jam has been broken.”

Officer Requests Delay in Trial on Robbery Charges
By United Press.
Bradford J. St. Charles, police officer charged with participation in a bank robbery, revealed last night he plans to ask a three-month continuance w’hen he appears in court to plead today.
St. Charles said he would ask the continuance because his wife, who is an important witness in the case, is an expectant mother. He felt the strain of testifying now might impair her health.
Two other defendants, Veme Miller and Theodore Wieden, had pleaded guilty and were expected to testify against St. Charles.
will go into effect tomorrow night on this campus when the presidents of 27 U.C.LA. fraternities make official announcement to their various groups.
This action follows unanimous action last week by the inter-fratern-ity council against hazing practices in the Greek letter organisations.
Maintain Pledge Week The resolution calls, for the establishment ol a pledge week, “the purpose of which will be -to educate neophytes in the aims and duties of the fraternity.” Other stipulations in the abolition resolution adopted by the council are the prohibition of tubbing, physical maltreatment of pledges in any form and other hazing tricks.
‘‘No paddling will be tolerated without the permission and supervision of the fraternity president,” was the pronouncement of the council. The groups have reserved the right to paddling whenever it is deemed absolutely necessary.
Follow Reform Leader This reform among the fraternities of U.C.LA. is in line with the recently adopted policy prevalent on many of the college campuses of the country where all forms of hazing and Hell Weeek have been abolished, either through action of the fraternities themselves or by the university authorities.
A similar action was taken last fall at the University of Southern California when President Rufus B. von KleinSmid banned all paddling, tubbing, and other similar activities as well as Hell Week itself, on the S.C# campus.
It was brought to a head on the Bruin campus several weeks ago when two pledges of one of the fraternities were injured during Hell Week.
This is what the operator heard: “Hello. This is Mrs. Wills. I am so anxious about my daughter Alice; I just happened to think that this is the day of the terrible strike and Alice just left for school wearing a red blouse.” •
“Dear me, I do hope they don't mistake her for one of those communists, because she isn't.’’

"A scenario Writer must be prepared to write at any time — if need be, at 3 am., during dinner, a dance, at midnight — whenever the inspiration causes Ideas to flow,” said quiet-voiced Dorothy Yost, scenarist at RKO, who spoke before members of Athena literary society at their recent meeting..
In private life Miss Yost becomes Mrs. Cummins, wife of another writer. She herself has published short stories, poetry, and magazine articles. In addition to her studio work. Being the daughter of a newspaper editor, she explained that she Was used to working against time, as often is required of her in studio work. She emphasized j the fact that the successful writer is looking for a story everywhere he goes, in all the people he meets, in everything he sees.

“Why, speaking of being script-minded, It has come to the point where my husband and I can’t say anything without considering how it would sound in film dialog. If he describes the fog by saying that it is a thin shawl thrown across the shoulders of night’, I look askance at him and ask him if that will go into his next script.”
In spite of such minor difficulties, Dorothy Yost seemed filled with a quiet enthusiasm for her work. Prophesying the pictures of the future, she dubbed them the “action and reaction’’ type, in which an incident causes another incident. She also emphasized the fact that everything must be translated into terms of action, however simple the latter might be. In the cinema, movement tells the story.
