not be subpoenaed, but any person
supposedly threatened whose names
are furnished by Sokol's committee
will be called before the grand jury.
Sokol, writing on stationery headed
"The Law Enforcement Committee of
the County Central Committee of the
; Democratic Party," asked that Miss
Hepburn and the heads of eight large
studios be questioned regarding the
asserted attempts at intimidation and
said he would later request subpoenas
for Douglas Fairbanks, Clark Gable,
Will Rogers and other screen celebri
ties.
Actress to be Questioned.
Miss Hepburn's studio said she ha
not yet been Informed of the re
quested inquiry, but Beecher disclose
he had sent an Investigator to ques
tion the actress.
Charges from the Democratic cam:
followed closely a State Suprem
Court ruling which blocked a mov
to disqualify nearly 25,000 assertei
illegally registered voters hi Los An
geles County.
Declaring “99 per cent of thos
questioned were Democrats,” Sin
clairites hailed the Supreme Cour
decision as a victory.
Canal Traffic Mounts.
Transits through the Panama Cans
have shown an increase recently.
Jobless on Increase.
Employment in Belgium continue
