Frank Morgan;
Radio, Stage And
Screen Star, Dead
HOLLYWOOD, (^P) — Frank
Morgan—he of the harried man
ner and embarrassed laugh — is
dead.
The veteran stage, movie and
radio comic, who is real life took
events so calmly he once slept
through the victory of his own
yacht in a hotly contested race to
Honolulu, died yesterday during
his sleep. He was 59.
His wife of 34 years, Alma, no
ticed he had stopped breathing
and called an inhalator squad. An
hour’s effort was futile.
Morgan had just finished a pic
ture, “Keys to the City,” with
Clark Gable and Loretta Young,
on Thursday, but he did not seem
unduly tired. It was his 68th film.
His latest-released movie was
“The Stratton Story,” in which he
was cast as a baseball scout.
Among his top films were “The
Great Ziegfield,” “Naughty Mari
etta,” and “Green Dolphin Street.”
He also had his own radio show
for a time.

England Devalues i
Pound Sterling;
Chaos Reigns
(Continued from Page One*
| with Great Britain but whose
money follows the U. S. dollar
! rules, finance minister Douglass
Abbott promised a statement to
parliament tonight.
Here’s how the devaluation
works—and how Britain and other
countries are taking a calculated
: risk in cheapening their currency:
Until last night it took $4.03 to
buy a pound’s worth of British
goods. Today the same goods can
be bought for $2,80. Britons hope
Americans and others with dol
lars will go on a buying spree that
will boost their earnings.
But this financial inechanicm
also works in reverse. The average
Briton eating American wheat,
smoking American cigaretts or
buying American machinery will
have to spend more pounds to get
these goods.
Cripps announced that the first
immediate effect to Britons would
be to raise the price of a 28-ounce
loaf of bread from four and a half
pence to six pence <from eight to
10 cents*.
British financial writers ex
pressed shock over the sharp rate
of the cut—30Vfe per cent, in spec
ulation here for the last year no
rate lower than $3 was suggested
and most British experts thought
it would range • somewhere be- '
tween $3.20 and $3.50.
—
LONDON, (/P) — Sir Stafford 1
Cripps said: “No, No, No.”
Then he said it again and again
and again. And then he devalued
the pound anyway.
A search of the records today
showed that the chancellor of the
exchequer had made nine public
denials since Jan. 26. 1948, that
the pound would be cheapened.
The explanation, perhaps, was
given by Sir Philip Snowden,
when he was chancellor of the
exchequer in 1931:
“If a chancellor ever admitted
devaluation was likely, it would
immediately become inevitable,
because foreigners would s.op
buying our goods in the hope of
ge:ting them more cheaply later
on.”
SEATTLE, i/P) — A sharp in
crease in the import of English
p.oduc.s was foreseen here today
as the result of Great Britain’s de
valuation of the pound.
Die.rich Schmitz, president of
the Washington Mutual Savings
bank, predicted the lumber indus
try will feel the pinch more sharp
ly than other industries.
Dr. Howard H. Preston, dean of
the University of Washington's
school of economics and business,
said an influx of woolens, cutler
ies. whiskey, pottery and other
items also is probable.
HOME ARTS CLUB HELD
SUCCESSFUL CARD PARTY
The Home Arts Club held the
first card party of the season last
Saturday evening at the Pioneer
Hall for the benefit of the Chil
dren’s Playfield.
Winners of the whist games were
Mesdames Silverman, Goff and
Pennycook, and for the men, Dan
Jones, Ralph Ulrichson and A Po
let.
Winners for the bridge games J
were Mesdames Angell, Peabody 1
and Urick, and for the men: P. C.
Tjernagle, Peabody and Urick.
After the games delicious re
freshments were served by the
members of the H6me Arts Club.
Winners of door prizes were
Ralt Real and Clement Boucher.
Workers Strike In
Their Own Mine
GKNRIDGE, (/P) — The miners
own the mine here. So when they
joined the cross-country united
mine workers’ walkout today, they
walked out o nthemselves.
Of the 145 UMW, 120 of them
own $200 worth of stock each—
the limit allowed—in the Marion
County Coal corporation. It’s the
sole industry in this southern Ill
inois village of 300.
The business of walking out on
themselves is on aid story to them
because they have quit producing
coal when the rest of the UMW
has quit since their cooperative
mine venture was born in 1940.
Ron Brousseau, of the Lomen
Commercial Co., accompanied by
his young son Peter left for the
States to visit with Mr. Brousseau’s
family for a few days in Seattle.
Young Peter will get acquainted
with his grandfather and grand
motrer and other members of the
family.
Eileen Harwood, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Harwood ar
rived from the States Sunday on
the Pan American and plans to
spend the winter in Nome with
her parents.
