New Judge in Spotlight
 Of Magistrate Inquiry

New York, Dec. II (UP)-Rumors that another, and perhaps more than one, magistrate may fall under the spotlight of the Seabury- Kresel in- vestigation, which has already re- suited in the resignation of Magis- trate Francis x. McQuade, were cur rent today as the inquiry was resum- ed.
 The next magistrate to be ques- toned secretly was reported to be M. R. Goodman. The subject of the questioning, was said to be the policy gambling racket. Goodman appeared yesterday to be questioned by an as sistant to Special Prosecutor Isidor J. kresel.
 The policy racket, which has found much favor among negro residents of Harlem, is form of lot tery which utilizes the clearing house figures published daily in the newspapers.

 Suspicion Serious
 The suspicion of impending war is one of the most serious clements of soviet policies. Even the head long speed of industrialization by the fiVeyear plan is partly due to the desire for economic indepen- dence before the anti-soviet offensive begins.
 Communists believe, especially in view Of the present economic de- pression throughout the world, that the capitalist nations cannot permit the sole communist state to prosper.
 'The imperalist appetite for the rich. unexploted, one-sixth of the earth's inhabited surface under the red flag is being sharpened by their own economic plight" communists say.
 Constant vigilance and strength ened defenses are therefore foremost of the slogans continually urged through every channel reaching the masses. The Kremlin's ideal appar- ently is that every man, woman and child learn to handle a gun and a

NEW DRY LINEUP
 ID PLAN STRATEGY
". (. T. U. President Leads Group Representing Dry Bodies

Washington, Dec. II LP)-A fresh alignment of the dry organization's general staff was ready today to take over planning strategy for the 1882 presidential campaigns.
 The national association of or ganizations supporting the 18th amendment concluded it's annual session last night by appointing a combined committee on unified strategy, containing a dozen leaders drawn from the 3 5 groups which comprise the association. At the head of them was Mrs. Ella A. Boole, of the W. C. T. L.
 A solid front on legislative and political problems concerning prohi- bition was the announced objective, with special reference to preparation for the next national election. The action came after the organization had aligned itself with other dry groups in refusing f1atly to give SUD- | port to a national prohibition ref erendum.
 Hear Woodcock Appeal The association had heard an ap- | peal by Prohibition Director Wood cock for cooperation in suppressing 1 through education non- n-commercial violations of the prohibition law. He 1 assured them his bureau would suc- ceed in it's prosecution of conner 1 cial breaches of the laws. The dele gates questioned Woodcock regard ing enforcement measures, directing much attention to grape concen-
 trates. He told them concentrate
 manufacturers would be prosecuted 1 if intent to violate the law could
 be proved against them.
 The association also endorsed an appropriations bill touching of en-
 torcement, the Wickersham bills for
 relief of court congestion and the new Spoiled egg and garlic" de- naturant which is to replace poisons 1 in commercial alcohol.

Are They High Hat?

The main fear for Amos m
Andy is that the mental creation
Of the characters. conceived by
the majority of the air audience
may not jibe with the pictured
comics, thus destroying or dissi-
pating illusion. For instance.
most everybody images Amos as
the undersized member Of the
team when the reverse is the case.
Andy is the runt-sized member.
On this point Correll and Gosden
are extremely touchy, going so far
as to prohibit all pictures in the
future unless in character and
contriving generally to have the
cameras click when they are
posed so that the difference in
size will not be noticeable. Only
those actually working on the
picture are allowed on the Amos

LAW LOST>OUT

two adherents, and the business
of making screen amusement
gained two in the persons Of Leo
McCarey and Skeets Gallagher.
Both men have contributed to
the success of the musical COM

now showing at Loew's Palace
Theater.
McCarey, director of the pic
ture, is a graduate of the law
college of the University of Cali
fornia. He was admitted to the
bar, and for a time practiced his
profession.
Gallagher, a featured come
dian in the film. with jeanette
Macdonald, Jack Oakie and
James Hall. studied law at the
University of Indiana, but did
not complete his course. ,:.
McCarey found writing vodvil
sketches and composing popular
music more interesting than try
ing cases, so he gave up his prac-
tice to go into the show business.
Being resident of Los Angeles
he presently transferred his ac-
,tivities to the film studies. -
Oddly enough it was the writ

an end to 'Gallagher's legal pros.

have been studying and as a re-
suit received word from the
faculty that he was wasting his
time in college. The warning
proved to be a boon to the for.
tunes of the silvery-blond comedy
aspirant. In a short time he
had booked his vodvil sketch and
soon after he was working In
the big-time circuits. Later he
gained fame in musical comedy
on Broadway-and it was then

CIRCUS IS
COMING

There Is no devotion more
loyal than that of the young
sters, be they girls or boys, and
no public idol acknowledges this
more gracefully or enthusiastic
Cally than Tom Mix, the famous
screen and circus star to be seen
with the colossal Sells-Floto
Circus in Washington for two
days, Monday and Tuesday, Sep
tember / and 2, but if the young
'sters are devoted and loyal to
Tom Mix, so is Tom devoted and
loyal to the youngsters.
It is easy'to assume that every
boy and girl in America loves
the big, bluff. grinning cowboys
and it is equally certain, since
he asserts it. emphaticaly him
self, that Tom Mix loves the
adoring lads and lassies. Tom,
of course, is deeply appreciative
of the esteem and respect in
which he is held by American
parents and all adults in general,
but it is to the gaping boys and
shyly smiling girls that his big
heart goes out most warmly.
Tom Mix has been received
and entertained by United States
Presidents, kings and eX-kings, the
likeable Prince of Wales, ambas'
sadors. governors, mayors and
the social leaders whose names
figure in the exclusive columns
| of the dailies. but he is perhaps
more at ease and naturally happy
when being received in some city
by q welcoming committee OF
schoolboys and girls Of varying
ages and differing conditions OF
prosperity and class. The latter
means nothing. to Tom Mix, for
a boy with a patch in his knick
erbockers, or with a gaping rent
minus the patch, is just as vel
come to q Mix party as the son
of the governor, mayor or local
banker. The width of the wei
coming Mix grin embraces them
all and distinctions mean moth
| ing.
