RAMON NOvARRO IN s.DAY- BREAK" CURRENT FEATURE
 AT WARNER BROS STATE

FF
 "Daybreak" starring. Ramon. No- varro, now at Warner Brothers State theater continues to attract capacity houses and gives proof of the popularity of this screen lover. It has been brought to the screen with a Viennese, Dr Arthur Schnitz- Ter, as author; a Frenchman, Jacques Feyder, as director, and the
 distinguished young Latin, Ramon Novarro, in the stellar role of WiIli Kasda.
 The story is done in the best sophisticated style of Schnitzler, the distinguished author of '"The Af- fairs of Anatol." It is, like AhatOl, a tale about a gay love adventurer. but the similarity stops there. The picture starts on g. note of gayest comedy and swings through the en- tire gamut of emotions. It is car ried to the very gates of tragedy. in fact.
 Kasda, the lover,. has become so Accustomed to oonquests, that he has come to think of love as only A game. as something which can never be serious. But Laura, ex- cellently done by the talented Helen Chandler, comes into his life and his whole philosophy is upset. Changed from a sweet girl into a sophisticated woman by her experi- ence with Novarro, Miss Chandler provides the eliminating point for later scenes in the picture which touch a very high point of fine drama.
 Schnabel, the other man, is done by Jean Hersholt with that sincere touch which, characterizes all the work of this extremely capable and popular character actor. c. Aubrey smith also scores as the general.
 An excellent surrounding program accompanies the feature picture, which is shown at 2:20, 4:45. zoo and 9:30 p. m. daily.

A THIRD
Freed Employees to Remain in
District for Examination of
Civil Service Next Week

Approximately 1900 of the re-
naming 1000 temporary en-
ployes of the Census Bureau will
be dropped from the rolls dur.
ing the month, 1t was learned
today.
More than 800 of these are
punch card operators whose
work is nearly completed. They
were only appointed for years
duration. OF the 800, $50 are
colored.
Will Stay, Take Exam.
The employees being dropped
come from all parts OF the United
States, but most of them say
they will remain i'm Washington
in hope of obtaining employment.
Many will take the file clerk ex.
animation next week, which the
Civil Service Commission an
nounced win be given to $4,000
applicants throughout the coun-
try.
One clerk to be dropped said
today he thought it unfair for
them to be brought from o dis
tant part Of the country to do
this work, and then not receive
status or credit for their work.
He said he could not understand
why discharged employees could
not be transferred to other posi-
tions of similar character for
which the Civil Service ComrniS-
sion is holding additional exami-
nations at a heavy cost.
Married Women Stay
Others say they are not get
ting a square deal as the bureau
is honeycombed with married wo-
men whose husbands hold respon-
sible positions in Government
and private enterprises here,
thus keeping married men with
families and widows of veterans
from continuing employment.
One clerk said several widows
of veterans had received notices
of termination,
The Civil Service Commission
gave the special Census exani-
nation in october, 1929, and a..
900 applicants were examined.
More than 5000 passed the ex-
animation, and 5000 received ap-
pointments.
Census Bureau officials say 1t
is necessary to reduce the force
to normal. which is approximately
1000, by next summer.
Quality Rated High
Division chiefs say the quality
of temporary employees for the
fifteenth census has been far
superior to that of any other.
Many of the temporary job
holders are school teachers. Some
are farmers, other clerks from
the rural districts, and students
desiring an education in Wash
ington. Lawyers and former
business executives who were
caught in the many failures also
found many of the employees.
