Mr.. Mayer made it plain that
Metro Goldwyn Mayer has not
abandoned a policy of financing
such stage material as seems
readily adaptable for celluloid en-
tertainment.
The two most important hits on
Broadway today are productions
in which picture money is in

Somebody in the American EN-.
bassy at Havana has imported SO
cases of liquor from France, and
the State Department is in q
quandary about it.
Officials admitted today they
had seen a copy of ships mani
fest which carried the informa-
ton that the wines, whiskies and
liquors we're consigned to the
Ambassador des Etats Unis
Amerique" at Havana from the
port Of Bordeaux, France.
The cargo consisted of 78 cases
of wine, five cases of whiskies
and the rest of assorted liquors,
and presumably was for the use
of members of the embassy staff
at Havana. Harry F. Guggen.
helm, a close friend of President
Hoover's, is the Ambassador at
Havana.
Diplomats may import dutiable
goods free in the countries to
which they are accredited.
Dawes Avoids Liquor
While the State Department
has never put American embassies
"on the wagon" a number of
American diplomatic officers
abroad have discontinued the serv-
ing of Intoxicating liquors at
their functions. Among them is
Gen. Charles G. Dawes, Ambassa-
dor at London.
The quandary of the State De-
partment arises from the theoreti-
cal question of whether the i'm
portation of liquors by an Amer.
lean Embassy is legal" in that
the embassy property is, legally
speaking, American soil. Under
the prohibition laws intoxicants
may not be imported to American
jurisdiction.

HIS THANKS

VATICAN CITY, Feb. IL
G.N.SO.-The following is the
text of the address delivered by
Senator Gughelmo Marconi be-
fore the Pontifical Academy of
Sciences and broadcast to the
world through the Vatican City
radio station:
"It is with the deepest feel
ings of emotion and gratitude
that 1 speak in your presence,
Holy Father. The great JOY
that this truly historic moment
brings to me, in which Your
Holiness has for the first time
made use of the electrical
waves to send to all the faith
full throughout the world, your
message of peace and your
blessing, and the thought that
/ have been able to bring to
all of your children the sublime
consolation of hearing your
voice and your message, is to
me the greatest possible re-
ward for my efforts.
Offers Humble Thanks
"Tt is not / who should be
thanked; it is rather who
must offer a humble express
sion of my prOfOundest graft
tude to Your Holiness for hav-
ing conferred on me the great
honor of directing the con-
structiOn of this new radio
station of the state of the
Vatican City.
"In accordance with the de-
sire of your holiness, the peO-
pies in all the continents have
today been able to receive di-
rectly that fatherly benedictiOn
which nine years ago, as the
first act of your glorious pom
tificate, Your Holiness, as a
harbinger of the great events
that were to come and have
come, deigned to bestOw on all
mankind from the outside bal
cOny of the BaSilica of St.
Peters.
Proud of Membership
81 thank Father Gianfrance-
Schi, president of the pOntifical
academy of sciences and direC-
tor of the radio station, for his
many kindnesSCS, and thank
all the academicians for having
named me a member of the
pOntifical academy of sciences,
which, from the time of Cali
leo alilei, has received so
many luminarieS of science in
which company 1 am proud to
take a place."

their faith today in his money

has declared himself bankrupt.
Mass Meeting Held
Two hundred investors in the
Benham venture held mass

Besides that, Benham departed
yesterday after announcing that
the financial bubble had burst.
This failed to concern the in
vestors who announced at the
meeting that they believed in
"Belvidere, Benham and God"
Many announced themselves will

former clerk who became the
financial wonder of northern Illi-

The investors passed a resolu-

give Benham a couple more days
before taking action. Strom an

There are, in addition, three other features of

During the life of the car the day-by-day economy
