STILL
IS SOUGHT

Prince Georges county police to.
day redoubled efforts to locate a
redhaired girl they believe was
the cause of the shooting of two
men early Wednesday morning in
the Green Gables roadhouse near
Suitland. Nd
The men. Wesley Charles Poutra
and Joe Hauser. still were in a
serious condition in Emergency
Hospital.
The Maryland police said they be-
lieved Ruth Bradley, of the 600
block st. n. W., is the girl
wanted. They said they merely
wanted to question her, not intend,
ing to place charges against her.
Having many conflicted stories,
the investigators still are baffled
over who shot Poutra and Hauser.
They have discarded an earlier
theory that liquor quarrel caused
the shootings, believing instead that
pistols were brought into play in
a fight over the Bradley girl.

the city of Cincinnati. to swear in
all firemen, as policemen, was
frowned upon today by Fire Chief
George s. Watson and Major Edwin

Under SherrIll's plan fire appar-
atus would be used to barricade
streets whenever q general police
alarm was sounded and ffremen
would possess the same authority
as policemen.

Policemen and firemen have
different functions and the two vii;

Chief Watson said it is the duty
of the fire department to fight fires.
II the firemen were put to work
chasing criminals, it would interfere
with their readiness to respond in.
stantly to the alarm OF fire.
II am opposed to the general
principal involved" he said.

Van Dyke arrived in Washing
ton today, on the first leg of his
adventure. He is to sail from New
York a week from today. His trip
will take between s and IS months,
he estimates, depending upon the
difficulties encountered.
Greeted by Friend
He swung through the gates Of
Union Station with an athletic
stride. to grip the hands of his in
innate friend. Jimmy Archibald. He
went Immediately to the Mayflower
Hotel, where he prepared for a
meeting with President Hoover at
the White House.
Van Dyke is no strange" to adj
venture. He directed white Shad-
ows in the South Seas" and The
Pagan" while in Haiti. and his less
professional journeyings have taken
him to many strange corners of the
earth. One Of his most priced pos
sessions is a flag presented to him
by the Adventures Club of Holly
wood, with instructions to take it
to his destination and to bring it
back again.
Were not going to start making
the picture until we reach Africa, ]"
Van Dyke said. well make all
the shots requiring the services Of
Edwina Booth, the only woman in
the cast, first of all. Then we'll
send her back with my secretary,
Miss Josephine Chipbo. We don't
want to take them into any more
danger than necessary. Harry
Carey and Duncan Rinaldo, the
men in the film, will be with us
until we're through"
Caravan Well Armed
His caravan will be equipped
with high-powered firearms and "a
liberal supply of gas bombs, to use
as protection against the wild beasts
Of the jungle.
Eighty-two tons OF equipment. in
al, will accompany the party Of 80
into the jungle. Five governments
are cooperating to make the tour
ney as comfortable as possible. Be-
sides American representa- Ives
abroad, ENJOYS Of the British,
French, Belgian and Portuguese
nations are to assist in making the
trip a success.
The scenario from which Trader
Horn" will be made was written
by Dale Van Every, former Wash,
ington correspondent, and Richard
Shire. Although only three Amer
lean film players will be used in
the picture, Van Dyke plans to
employ thousands of natives.
