HOLLYWOOD MAN
WAS SELZNICK
FIGHT OPPONENT

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 3. tU.P)-Ben
Frank, manager of the Ambassador
hotel, refused today to accept the
title of amateur boxing champion OF
Hollywood.
It was Frank, it became known
today, who bested Myron Selznick
film producer and holder of a de-
cision over John Barrymore, in a
fall-down-and-slap-' EN- scrap New
Years Eve at party attended by
many movie celebrities, including
Jean Harlow, of "Hell's Angels
fame.
Miss Harlow denied that she was
the cause of the fight.
Il merely happened to be in the
party" she said.
The men got into an argument at
the top of flight of marble steps
leading to the famed Cocoanut Grove
in the Ambassador hotel, just as
the whistles were ushering in the
New Year. They were still locked
in each others arms when they
reached the bottom of the stairway,
dCCOTQlQg 10 spectators.
1T was just one of those New
Years arguments" Selznick told re-
pcrters. Don't print anything about
it. 1t didn't amount to anything.
Miss Harlow didn't have anything
to do with it, and anyhow, it wasn't
a fight, and wasn't important"
Frank admitted he had an argu-
ment with Selznick, but said no
blows were struck and that he
would prefer to keep my name out
of it,
ut was really nothing he said
Il was lighting someone's cigarette
when Selznick began abusing me. l
believe he mistook me for someone
else. When I told him to be your
self he said something pretty nasty
to me. Then Paul Bern came up
and told me to have nothing to do
with Selznick."
Two years ago Selznick won
decision over John Barrymore when
they fought on the Ambassador
lawn, blackening one of the actors
eyes so badly that he remained in
SecluSion three days.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.- Over the elections held yes- terday in five States hung the omnipresent shadow of Prohibition. And to it's 0p- ponents went all the fruits of victory.
 All five of the new Congressmen elected-three Democrats and two Republicans-were branded as Vets by the Dry politicians. All of them travelled under the standard of anti-Prohibitionists, either as re- pealists or modificationists.
 Apparently the trend of the coun- try is definitely against further trial of the noble experiment" In the past three years the Wet bloc in the House has grown from less than 70 members to about 150 in the next Congress.
 This, of course, is not sufficient to enact any measures to modify the present Dry laws, but it has greatly encouraged the organiza- tions which are staging a cam- paign agianst the present system

 SLASH PLANNED
Sweeping Reduction from President Down to

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. A. "A sweeping reduction of federal salaries, from the office of Pres ident down to the humblest $1 200 a-year clerk, is proposed by Repre- sentative Will A. Wood, Republi- can, of Indiana, chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, a. apart of the ad- ministration's economy program.
 Wood announced he would spon- sor a wage-cutting program, con- sisting of a five per cent slash in the salaries of government em- ployes receiving from $1,200 to $2,- 800 year, an 8 per cent reduction on salaries between $2,500 and $10,000 a year and a ten per cent cut on salaries above $l0,000 a year. He said he would include the Pres ident and members of congress in the slash.
 This retrenchment program would reduce the Presidents sal- ary from $75.O00 to S67, 800 a year. It would slash the pay of Senators and Representatives from s10,000 to 5000 for the period of the de- precision.

 LEAGUE OF NATIONS Fears Expressed Russia Will Yet Break Into

TOKYO, Japan, Nov. Awhile Japanese troops moved farther into Manchuria and encountered Chin csc machine guns, in one instance, the Japanese government began drafting a note to the League of Nations insisting that China recog- nize the validity of the treaties under which Japan operates in Chinese territory.
 The note will practically be in reply to one of Aristide Briand, Acting President of the League of Nations. Briand set forth his views regarding the five funda- mental principles to which the Tokyo Government previously asked China to subscribe as prere- quisite to the withdrawal of Jap anese troops from the occupied area in Manchuria.
 The note will also say that un- less China reconizes and lives up to the terms of the 1915 treaty, under which Japan retains rights in Chinese territory, the normal conditions of the two nations can not exist.
