LONDON GROPES

FOG OF YEARS
Eight Persons Are Killed as

LONDON, Dec. ga real Vic
torian" fog, the kind that London
ers thought had passed with the
era Of hanson cabs and long skirts,
covered the city with a heavy, grimy
blanket today.
The fog was the worst London
and the south of England had ex-
perienced for years.
Eight persons were killed here,
and many injured in accidents.
The fog lifted in patches in the
center of the city at noon, but still
was heavy over the greater part of
the London area.
Crowds of Christmas shoppers,
who braved the weather, added to
the congestion in the business dis
tracts.
Half Million MaroOned
Scarcely any trains arrived in
London on time.
The subway system was flooded
with passengers, who usually relied
on buses and trans for transporta-
ton.
Minor traffic accidents were re-
ported from all parts of the city.
Thousands of workers were late
in reaching their Offices. Air min
istry officials predicted no immedi-
ate relief, although it was expected
that the weather would clear by
Christmas.
Half a million Londoners were
marooned trying to get home from
work Monday night and their prob
lem of getting back to work today
was no less difficult.
Walking Is Dangerous
Extra police, equipped with flares,
guided pedestrians across streets.
Walking was dangerous, for motor
vehicles were lost in the fog and
many of them came to a halt on
sidewalks.
Some pedestrians organized
groups, joined hands, and started
vocal fog horn choruses, guided by
q leader who waved a handkerchief
or some other white object as
warning signal.
Visibility was reduced to three
feet at the height of the fog.

Muscle Shoals Waits
Plans Of Republican liberals called

Muscle Shoals is still in conference
committee, and little closer to en-
actment than it was three weeks
ago, while the last two measures
nave made no progress at all toward
becoming law.
To relieve unemployment, the &C
complishments of congress so far,
nave been these:
1t has passed a 100000 bill
authorizing the secretary of agri-
culture to make loans 10 drought
stricken farmers, but has not, as yet,
given the secretary any money for
This purpose. When the money is
appropriated, early in January, the
secretary may make loans for the
purpose Of buying seed, fertilizer,
leed for work stock or oil for trac-
Jors.
$500 Per Farmer
If the secretary wishes to inter
pref the words and other purposes
incident to crop production as en-
abling him to do so. he may loan
money for food to farmers in danger
of starvation.
Secretary Hyde, however, opposed
loans for TODD when the senate at
tempted to provide specifically for
them. The maximum amount that
any drought-stricken farmer can
receive under this bill is $500.

spent on the federal aid highway
system, improvement of national
forests and forest roads, river and
harbor work, and the Mississippi
hood control system.
Aside from these things, congress
has accomplished the following:
1t has appropriated an additional
Sl50,000,000 for use OF the federal
farm board.
One of the most striking features
OF the session has been President
Hoover's success in imposing his will
on congress.
hoover was successful in having
eliminated from the bill the proyf-
sion for food loans to farmers: and.
he secured, in his public works bill
the clause giving him power to use
more money for some of the prof.
ects and less for others instead of
spending it exactly in accordance
with the terms of the bill.

FEAR AUSTRIAN
FASCISTS PLAN
DICTATOR DRIVE
Violence Likely to Depend
on Negotiations for New
Coalition Cabinet.
BY ROBERT H. BEST
United Press Staf Correspondent

VIENNA, Nov. 11.-Possibility of
a Fascist attempt to establish dicta-
torial government by violent means
we're believed today to depend on
negotiations for a coalition cabinet
when the parliament. elected Sun
day, conVenes, probably early in De-
cember.
The elections, which changed the
parliamentary alignment only Slight
ly, caused many observe IS to predict
the Fascists will attempt ''putsch"
if they fail to win control or at least
strong cabinet representation in the
new government.
Other observers expressed conf
dence, however, that the ballot of
the people was a popular veto of
the Fascist dictator schemes of
Prince Ernst Rudiger Won Starhem-
berg and that the danger of vio-
lence had been decreased.
Although the Socialists were
strengthened by the election and
will have seventy-two seats-the
largest number-in the new parlia-
ment, it was believed most likely
the Christian Socialists with sixty
six seats would dominate the cabi-
net. The Christian Socialists will
have the support of the independent
Fascists, giving them seventy-four
votes.

to me one of the ten best acts in
vaudeville. I am not throwing the
superlatives just for fun. Here is a
gifted artist, fine man and an
authority on rapid changes. To me
he is the best in the business. NO
wonder they are doing tremendous
business at the Lyric this week. At
the end of the bill, fellow actors do
a burlesque on McGiveney. You will
find some laughs. But remember in
the sketch proper, McGiveney plays
every role himself. There is no
doubling. Seems impossible but it is
not to this man.
Burleigh Grimes and three other
honest to goodness baseball players
are using an old vaudeville sketch.
These four men with their singing,
their Glowing and their baseball
game actually make big hit out OF
sketch which l have seen fail
absolutely in the hands Of just
actors. The real goods count now
adays.
The Frankenberg KIldies have a
juvenile act which is better in some
respects and not so good in others
as other acts of its class. They do
not attempt comedy. That is some
thing to be thankful for They know
how to dance But why ring in the
American flag at the beginning OF
the act. All wrong.
Am quite wild over the hot dane
ing feet of Dotson, a Negro. He does
lot of Glowing but when he
dances he is there. Very much so.
Some fine individual tap work is de-
veloped by this man. He knows his
business. The Yoki Japs demon
strate that bicycle may become a
horse. The magic of the act is not
so hot because the two women do
not seem to know how to sell it.
Harrison and Dakin have an
eccentric act which has a mighty
good punch. It is nonsense dressed
up with a not too definite touch
The man of this act paves the way
nicely to the burlesque on McGiv-
eney.
The movie feature is "a Soldiers
Plaything." Now at the Lyric.
