B0RAH URGES
HOOS|ERS' AID
Invitation is Extended to
Join Western Bloc.
By Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator
Borah of Idaho today extended to
the Indiana Senators a more or less
urget invitation to join the "west-
ern bloc" of Senators now engaged
here in putting the West on the
map, declaring that for purposes
of legislation the bloc's territory
should start at the Allegheny noun
tains.
He said he thought Senators Wat
son and Robinson ought to be inter-
ested because of their votes for the
McNary Haugen bill last winter.
Robinson should be interested es-
pecially.- He showed great zeal in
forwarding farm relief legislation,
said Borah.
Since the bloc has put forward
Senator Norris of Nebraska as a
good candidate for president, it
hardly is thought the Indiana sena-
tors will be interested. Watson
himself is a tentative candidate and
it is believed both senator's would
be for Vice President Dawes, If the
Watson candidacy were side tracked.
The move to put forward Norris
is thought to have been staged
partly for the purpose OF. elinin-
ating former Governor Lowden of
Illinois, who has been strong in
trans Mississippi territory, although
the bloc SO far consist only of the
more radical of the westerners.
Watson and Robinson cast votes &C
ceptable to it, both for anti admin
istration farm relief and against
joining the world court last winter.
Many of their other activities are
anti Coolidge, as they also were
highly pleasing to the Republican
insurgents in the senate, but it is
believed both Indiana senators will
part company with the bloc this
winter on the tariff, railroad legis-
lation, and other issues.

Choice of Baby Wampas
Star Aggregation to Be
One of Difficulty.

| BIZ NEA SerUtce
HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 26.-Now
that winter is almost upon us again,
Hollywood is beginning to think
about the 1928 Wanpas Baby Stars
Every year the WampaS an or
ganization of hollywood publicity
men, selects thirteen girls as the
best starring prospects for the COM
ing twelve months.
The nomination of next years
baby star candidates is still more
than a month away, but Wampas
members are doing a lot of think
ing along such lines just the same
because there aren't thirteen girls
among the rising cinema set who
rate such a. distinction.
OF course, when it comes to a vote
thirteen girls will be selected--but
some of them will just be filters"
The Best Prospect
Heading the list of prospects Is
Ruth Taylor, former blonde comedy
queen. Ruth was picked from scores
of tow-heads for the highly coveted
role of Lorelei in Gentlemen Pre-
fer Blondes"
From early reports, this film will
more than live up to expectations.
If it does, Ruth's future is assured.
Sue Carol is another good bet.
The beautiful young brunette left
Chicago's flour hundred to en-
bark upon film career With face
like hers she couldn't help "click-
ing" Immediately.
She made one picture for Fox and
was then signed by Douglas Mac
Lean as his leading lady.
Now she is playing featured lead
at Universal and will then return
to MacLean again. Sue already has
made her mark.
Mexican Girl Registers
Lupe Velez also is a future resi-
dent of the cinema heavens. She
came to the movie town from Mex
leo City, played in several Hal
Roach comedies and was then
signed by Douglas Fairbanks to play
with him in 1.-THE Gaucho." Doug
thinks the girl is a great actress.
Alice White, the girl whose hair
has been various shades of red ever
since she started acting, looks like
a real conner.
She has just finished important
roles in 1.-THE Private Life of Helen
of Troy" and Gentlemen Prefer
Blondes" Prior to those produc-
tions she played several other i'm
portant roles.
TIlslma Todd is also a blonde
beauty whose work during the past
five or six months has bene draw
ing comments from her directors.
just Needs Campaigning
With the proper campaigning
she'll be chosen sure.
| And still another fair haired girl
who will make a bid for baby star
dom is Gwen Lee, who has been
stepping along pretty fast on the
Metro Goldwyn- Mayer lot.
Viola Richard, Nancy Nash and
Dorothy CULVER haven't done any
thing really exciting, they have
shown ability and are aly to climb
pretty fast next year.
They're all worth taking chance
on, in the hopes that they will crash
through.
