INCORPORATED Medical Arts Building Baby Scales Hunted for Job After Crash in 1929 and Quickly Became Capable Artist It Is wel lknown fact that every artist reflects something of his own personality In his work that whatever he creates has definite autobiographical flavor. This is strikingly exemplified In ths drawing of Alexander Raymond, who has created "Flash Gordon," the exciting new adventure page which started yesterday and will be carried each Sunday In The Times. "Flash 'the central character, is young, handsome and an all around athlete.

So is his creator Raymond, who is probably the youngest successful artist In his field. The page pictures romantic, fantastic adventures on a new unknown planet and this setting Is easily traceable to Alexander Raymond's Intense boyhood Interest in the author, Jules Verne, who wrote such famous scientific romances as "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -Most boys have bee nthrilled by Jules Verne, but It Is seldom that any of these adolescent dreamers grow up to become a Jules Verne themselves. And that Is Just what Raymond has done. As a matter of fact he has gon his Inspiration one better, for Raymond, living In an age where scientific wonders are everyday miracles, has had a far greater opportunity upon which his Ingenuity might build a nexclting story. The result, in "Flash Gordon" is an adventure page thnt Is fabulously dramatic for life on the remarkable new planet abounds in all manner of dangers, romance and pulse quickening thrills.

Only a young man could visualize adventrues such as those In "Flash Gordon" they are the graphic compelling dreams that belong to youth. Alexander Raymond was born In New Rochelle, New York. He attended lona Prep School on an athletic scholarship and after graduation went to work on Wall street Just In time for a ring side seat at the fatal crash of 1929. Lt was then Wall street decided to dispense with his services that his Interest In drawing and a real need for a Job Impelled him to look up a former neighbor, the cartoonist, Russ Westover, who draws "Tillle the Toiler." Russ suggests to Raymond that he try his hand at developing his skill, with pen and pencil, which he had always displayed. The result has been a career as brilliantly quick as the ascent of one of the rocket planes which he draws for "Flash Gordon." Watch for "Flash Gordon" you'll agree that there's never been another page of adventure like lt.

J. H. Rand, chairman of the committee for the nation, a monetary reform organization, has asked permission to testify, and Prof. James Harvey Rogers, of the "brain trust," may be called. Senator Wheeler, Democrat of Montana, author of a bill proposing re-monetlzation of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold, said tonight that ha would Introduce th "rider" to the gold bill unless President Roosevelt gave assurance that he would expand his monetary program to Include wider use of stiver in currency.

Sees Only Chance. "We, feel that our only chance to ff.t action on stiver at this session of congress Is by amending the gold bill." Wheeler said. He added that he had conferred with other western senators, but that the proposals to be included In the amendment had not yet been agreed upon. Wheeler said he planned to confer with President Roosevelt before the gold bill was passed. He expressed confidence that he could rally sufficient votes to force adoption of his amendment.

There was no indication tonight that President Roosevelt contemplated further steps at this time to rehabilitate silver. Those who have caV.ed at the White House to advocate a wider use of the white metal In the currency have left discouraged. Indecision Chief Hope. Administration leaders are depending upon the inability of the silver forces on Capitol Hill to agree upon a single program as their chief weapon against passage of silver legislation distasteful to the White House. An attempt by monetary reform leaders headed by the committee for the nation to unite the various factions failed last week after a series of conferences.

The conferees drafted a letter to President Roosevelt In which they endorsed the administration's monetary program thus far and recommending nationalization of silver nd the Issuance of sliver certificates. Senator Wheeler, however, felt that this program would not provide sufficient aid to the silver Industry, or raise world prices, and refused to approve it. The letter was not mailed. The Committee for the Nation, through Rand, has proposed establishment of a federal monetary authority to control the currency of the United States. The authority would have board of seven directors to be appointed by the President "by and with the advice of the senate." The draft of bill sent to members of both houses embodying the committee's new monetary plan purposes that one director serve at large, two directors represent Industry, two agriculture and two bank-The authority would function much as the central banks of other nations.

Central Bank Is "Out" There Is some sentiment In congress in favor of a central bank. President Roosevelt, at recent press conference, said reports that such an gency was under consideration were "worse than a bad guess." Meantime, administration authorities worked quietly over the week-end In an effort to hasten action In the senate on the president's gold bill. The bill probably will be passed by the senate before the end of ths week.
