Washington, Aug. 5 GP - Chair man Hubert Work is expected to call the republican national committee together in Washington between September and 14 to select suc- cessor for himself and to act on other shifts regarded as likely in the party's titular leadership.
 That IS the word being passed around in political circles here, with speculation centering more and more firmly about Claudius H. Huston of Tennessee. as the probable choice for the chairmanship Work is to reiln- quish.
 Illusions name has figured promi- nently in the speculation for some tune, and a statement of senator Moses of New Hampshire that Ne" England members of the committee favored his selection is regarded as supporting the gossip to the eHecl that he now has clear majority Moses. who was called here for q conference with President Hoover on various topics, expressed the oplnlon afterward that the Tennessean would be elected.

POLES AND GERMANS
 IN LINGUISTIC WAR

Danzig. Aug. 3. P-When a Pole and a German in this Free City Of Danzig discuss a town in the Polish corridor, which before the war was German territory, a linguistic duel is almost inevitable. The following dialog, overheard by an Associated Press correspondent is typical.
 Polish fare to German chauf- teur: Are the roads good from here to Gwynia?"
 German chauffeur, pretending not 10 have understood: Where did you say you want to go?"
 Pole: "Gdynia.'
 German: "Ah, I see, Gdingen. Yes, the roads are quite good"
 Pole: How are the hotels at Gdynia?" (with marked emphasis on the Polish pronunciatlon).
 German: "Gdingen (with equally marked German accent) has one or two quite modern hotels"
 And it happens hundred times a day.

The charming thing about Molly's speech was the naivete of it. It wasn't properly a speech at all. But spontaneous little cry, as sincere s her sparkling eyes. As unstudiei as the rakish angle of her demure pearl cap.

self, for she consents-While pro- testing weakly to the breaking of their engagement.
 Now she is ready to show her play to the celebrated producer. George Durbin. who has promised to see her in his New York office. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER 'NN
 Once Molly interviewed George Durbin. And she knew him for slight, boyish- mild-mannered man. whose simplicity belied his great ness. There was nothing about the famous producer to frighten girl.
 But now she was horribly ner- vous. It was one thing 10 inter- view a man, and quite another to approach him with play. Molly felt as though she were being out 2 rageously preposterous. He would be nice to her. she was sure of tha'. ] He was that kind of man. , But wouldn't he think her per fectly ridiculous, daring 10 think she had written play worthy of his production George Durbin had never put on a flop. And here she was-presuming to march in on him in his own private office, big as life, with a play under her arm.
 Molly dressed three times that morning. She wanted to look as old as possible. Old and sophis tcated, she decided. If she looke4 young and innocent-appearing, M. {, Durbin might be preiudiced against . her from the beginning.
 $ She discarded a youthful tailleuT ? Of beige, and wore instead an en Q semble of black crepe. She cor- q cred her face and neck with sun- tan powder. and rouged her lips with geranium paste. She shade ! her eyes with blue pencil, ann sprayed herself with the most sophisticated of perfumes. Then she hung large baroque pearls from her ears, pulled her small black hat Git was an original Agnesl low on her forehead. She wore white buckskin gloves. and short string of pearls. because she had noticed that the really smartest wo- men at Palm Beach when dressed for the street. wore either black ana white or beige. And, of the two beige, she decided, was rather youthful for a serious minded young ,,lo -r;f I,t ,t-itJ ,o -l Mir. Durbin received her witt gentle courtesy. He had heard some " thing of the play. he said. And h. . took the brief case from her anl % opened it himself.
 ''Tn glance through it, if you'c like" he offered, and took tho manuscript to the antique Floren. tine table that served as desk.
 He turned the pages rapidly. an( what he read seemed 10 absor' him.
 Molly sat in a high backed Tta1 ian chair, with her feet swingin. off the floor, and felt very small Nervously she pressed her hand |, her mouth, and the goranium rouS, was smeared on her smart whit, glove. She wondered if the blu shadows that enclrcled her eye were also coming off,
 Suddenly Mir Durbin looked IT. and smiled.

 "Oh, great! I'm dying to see you. I've so much to tell you. Gee, Jack. I'm about thrilled to death. Isn't it just too wonderful to be true!"

PAUL IS FINED FOR CONTEMPT
 BY FED. JUDGE
Judge Harding Fines At torney $l75- Remand
 ed to Custody Marshal

W. L. Pau, >eochikan attorney, was this morning at Ketchikan, fined SITS for contempt of court in the Dalton case, by Judge Justin w. Harding and rc;1,alded to the custody of the United States Mar Shal until the fine is paid, accord ing to information received by U. s. Marshal Albert White, from Dep uty U. s. Marshal w. H. Caswell, of Ketchikan. The $75 fine is for the petition for review of the Dal- ton case which was signed by Paul and $10O as the result of the affi- davit of prejudice which Paul later filed.
 Judge Harding denounced Paul in scathing terms for his action in the case, from the bench, the mes sage stated. Paul was given time to arrange bonds for appeal and is allowed three days stay of judg- ment.
 Dalton Case
 The Dalton case has to do with charge of illegal fishing, to which Dalton pleaded guilty last year. He paid a fine of $400 and the case was dropped until last week when Paul, Dalton's attorney, filed a petition for review of the case Among other things, the petition signed by Paul, declared that the United States Attorney, who was at that time Judge Harding, threat ened Dalton with loss of his boat and other prosecutions unless he ralon1lod cr11iltu ata,. rlaltn,, no1l
