FISHING VESSEL SWALLOWED UP
 IN QUICKSANDS

Ocracoke Island, N, C., Dec 10.- (UP)-An unidentified fishing ves-' seI with from three to 10 men aboard has been swallowed by the sea and q deep bed of quicksand off Cape Hatteras. 1t was believed to-day.
 The vessel was reported to be one of three Gloucester trawlers which left Hatteras yesterday morning and which foundered and disappeared before coast guards men could reach her.
 "The spot where the trawler was stranded is a deep bed of quick sand which has claimed many ships much larger" Captain E. l.. New man of Hatteras coast guard sta- ton said late last night.
 "Unquestionably the trawler has been swallowed by that quicksand." he said.
 Because of heavy seas recently the entire fleet of fishing vessels from Maryland, Virginia and Mas sachusetts have sought shelter here and at Cape Lookout and other places along the outer banks of thj Carolina coast.
 They had been fishing fin the warm waters of the gulf stream.
 After first reports that the un- known vessel. had foundered. coast guardsmen from Hatteras inlet sta. ton, Cape Hatteras and Creed Hill repeatedly tried to reach the spot
 At that time. Captain l.. w. Midgett of the Hatteras Inlet nta- ton told the United Press he didn't believe the stricken trawier would stand up until morning. If was visible until z D. m. when it van- fsbed from mght right over the aulckaand he'd.

ance of officials. The meetings will be concluded December 21.
 Cf the 16e towns in the state, 113 were represented at the asses sors' conferences. The number of assessors in attendance totaled 237 and members of boards of relief, mayors, selectmen, town attorneys, representatives, and town engi- neers comprised the remaining sixty-eight officials present.
 The meetings were similar to conferences held in the fall and winter of 1929, when total of 295 assessors and other town off, cials attended. With definite pro- grams Intentionally avoided, the conferences resolved themselves into q series of informal discus sions at which the tax commissions CT and his assistants answered questions relating to local taxation and finance.
 Equalization of assessments was emphasized by Commissioners Blod- gett as the Fundamental duty of the assessors, which requirement, while essential and desirable in so- called good times, he said, was even more essential in periods of declining values, if fairness to tax payers were to result. The pur- pose of the meetings was to en- courage uniform application of the statutes, MT Blodgett said, to the end that properties of all taxpay- CTS would be given the fair and proportional treatment which the law presumed and which justice and equity to the home owner de- manded.
 The meetings were not called to increase taxes or to find additional means of harassing those who are paying their proper shares, Com- missioner Blodgett pointed out. He did urge the assessors and mem bers of the board of relief, how ever, to cooperate so that the tax load would be equitably distributed upon all classes of property com ing under their Jurisdiction. The time has passed. Mir Blodgett said, when inadequate assessment sys- tems can meet the needs of the present day. He urged the appli- cation of sound business methods and fair and tested assessment pro- cesses which would recognize and permanently record all value fac- tors anecting all parcels Of prop erty. Only in such way, he said, can the taxing officials fatrfn per- form the tasks imposed uhoj them by statute. ~
 Time was devoted at the meet ings to explanation of the, 1891 amendments and changes in the as. sessment laws of the state. Thest involved g. revision of the laws con. corning the situs for taxation of loles, wires, towers, etc, In the and distribution sys- tenn of public utility companies, and the ex-service mems property tax exemption based on the degree of disability of those receiving federal compensation for injuries due to their service.
 At all meetings the assessors ex- pressed dissatisfa with the present method of assessing auto mobiles. It was pointed out that the difficulty cannot be overcome and the annual loss to the towns of $300 1000 be prevented, without leg lslation.

 In all her other screen roles Dorothy Mackaill has had none to compare with the one she por- trays in "Safe In Help for dram stic power and adaptability. The picture is now at Warner Bros State.
 "Gafe in Hell" is one of the strongest melodramaS that has come to the screen here this year. It is the story of an unfortunate girl. loved by a young sea captain who Is driven to violence in pro- tccting herself against an unwel- come suitor. Fearing she has killed him, she fees to an island in the South Pacific, beyond the reach of extradition. There she finds herself one of Q community of fugitive and renegades and meets with even more sensational adventures. The story has an un- usual spectacular ending.
 Miss Mackaill reveals herself as an emotional actress of tremen- dous force and her fans will be drawn to her more closely than ever before. She gives superb performance and, In the sub-trop- ical setting of her wild island ha- ven, seems more dazzling than in any of her recent sophisticated roles.
 The producers have surrounded the blonde beauty with what may be called an all-star cast and Will liam William, who directed Pub ilc Enemy" Might Nurse" and "Star Witness" has given the story the usual Wellman punch.

"TouchdOwn" Greatest Football Picture Ever Produced, Opens
 at State Saturday,: Oakie Stars

That "Touchdown!" will take the audience from their usual grand stand seat to the players bench and the dressing room is the opin- ion of Francis Wallace, author of Stadium" from which Paramount has adapted the picture, opening Saturday at the Warmers State theater.
 Movies have made football something to be laughed at," says Wallace. "In 'Touchdownp I have attempted to corner some of the thrills and the serious touch ex- perienced in a read game.
 This picture tells @ real story, the story that every football play CT has kept from his parents. The hero Is not the average movie hero who dashes across the line with the winning touchdown just as the final gun goes off, but tlue boy who tastes both the glory of win ming and the bitterness of defeat"
 Wallace also believes that this picture will open up new field for motion picture entertainment in that 1t depicts a real story in an athletic background.
 "Gangster and sex pictures are passing. The public Is casting about for something new. The sport drama, as represented by Touch down' has always been successful in books and is novel for screen purposes"
 Asked whether women would stay away from football pictures. the author answered, "The radio has brought football into every home. To-day, women understand the game. But my book Is not full of technicalities. It is a story uni- versally understood, the story of youth"
 Jack Oakie, clown prince of fun, steals" the picture from Richard Arlen and Peggy Shannon. It's Oakie at his best and that means his funniest. J. Farrel Mcdonald (Knute Rockne's double), Regis Toomey, Coach Howard Jones of Southern California, Jim Thorpe, greatest football player of all time and 30 gridiron stars, five of them are included in the splendid cast. Touchdown" will prove one of the finest talkies seen in a Waterbury theater in many months.

These informal meetings were call- ed for general discussion of assess ment and valuation problems and to acquaint newly-e elected assessors with the requirements of the stat ntes and the pertinent opinions of the Connecticut supreme court on disputed questions. They brought about a wide and interesting ex- change of views by the assessors upon many of the troublesome phases of their work. The meet ings were open to the public gen. erally and number of taxpayers took opportunity to attend.
 Similar county meetings for the tax collectors of the $50 local tax districts of the state are at pres ent in progress, two conferences being held each week on Monday and Friday, with gratifying attend

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
dav Saturday, and Sunday.

Headlining this weeks deluxe show is Count Berni Vici and his twelve Symphonic Girls, one of the finest stage bands in vaudeville to-day. This act is a whole show In itself. Besides presenting marvel ous symphonic arrangements as well as popular numbers the act boasts a company of singing, danc- ing and pantomine entertainers. However. there will be other great acts on the bill and to top the stage show off is an excellent pie ture, "Lasca of the Rio Grande." The story is based upon the roman. tic story of Frank Desprez "Lasca" and retains all the romance, action and color of the days when the Spainards ruled California. The cast is headed by John Mack Brown and Dorothy Burgess.
