Mexican Star Walked Off Set
In Fight for Green Grapes,
Suing Lawyer Charges

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4
(LN.S.).-Dolores Del Rio,
fiery Mexican film star, was
expected to take the stand
today to tell her version Of
asserted "extra legal" services
for which her former at
torney, Gunther Leasing, has
brought suit for $4,000 in
fees.
Lessing's testimony listed among
his services the highly difficult
task of keeping peace" between
Miss Del Rio and her director,
Edwin Carewe, during the filming
of pictures.
JeOpardized Contract
The little Mexican star once
jeopardized her 100000 contract
with United Artists studios be-
cause she didn't like the color
of her dressing room, Leasing told
Superior Judge Minor Moore.
ACOSAAASs
"Mr. Carewe called me and
told me that Miss Del Rio had
walked off the set because she
didn't have a portable dressing
room.
"He was afraid she might en-
danger her contract by this &C.
ton and 1 advised him to pro-
vide the dressing room at once.
They worked all night building
a suitable bOudOir only to have
Miss Del Rio refuse to occupy
it the next day because the
color decorations didn't suit
her"
"She wanted green Grapes
and fittings and she wouldn't
work until she got them.
81 was continually trying to
keep peace and to SOothe Miss
Del Rio when she became ex-
cited.
ION another occasion I was
called to the studio to arbi-
trate In a dispute which arose
when Miss Del EsIO walked off
the set because Rita Carewe,
the directors daughter, sat in
a chair she studio had provided
for Miss Del Rio"
Leasing added that Miss Del
Rio at this time was taking the
screen role of "a wildcat who
tanned men,"

HUNGER DRIVER

NEW YORK, Dec. 4 G.N.S).

when drivers of the Is trucks used

FATHER FIGHTS
To KEEP PIANO
BOX BABY
Defies State Officials to Take
Girl From Him; Michigan
Town Is Aroused

ESCANABA, Mich, Dec. 4
(IN.S.) .-Around an e ig h t.
year-old girl, Elaine Plucker,
a storm of civic excitement
ragged today as the consequence,
Of charges she was mistreated
and imprisoned in a piano box
by her father and step-mother.
Not since Escanaba's fever
girl" nine years ago has a case
so stirred this community.
Father Denies Torture
While juvenile authorities de-
bated the future of the pale and
emaciated child, the father. How
ard Plucker, denied he and his
second wife had tortured Elaine
and hurled a challenge to the
State to try and take her away
from her home. Said he:
II feel that I am best fitted
to give my child a home, and
/ intend to keep her."
The child was back in her
parents home today, pending an
investigation to be conducted by
C. F. .amsey, superintendent Of
the State juvenile school at Cold
water. After the invest ation. it
will be determined whether she
will be placed in care of a pri-
vate family or be taken to a
children's home.
Parallels Riley Case
Elaine's case, paralleling in
many respects that of Edith Riley,
the cupboard child" of Wash.

Judge Judd Yelland'S court,
where neighbors of the Fucker
family charged the girl was kept
in a piano packing box in the
back yard of her home through

Taxation Big Problem

It is scarcely necessary for me to
say that in your deliberations and
acts, your success will be measured
in accord with your intelligent ad-
hesion to the best interests of all
the people.
Good government and good legis-
lation are the best politics. He who
would serve his party best must best
serve the people.
The wisdom of our fathers never
was more strikingly demonstrated
than in the sound constitutional pro-
vision which prevents the state from
assuming bonded indebtedness to
meet the financial demands of ex-
panding modern government.
We are free from financial obliga-
tions and have sufficient funds on
hand and in prospect from revenues
in due course to be paid, TO meet
all budget requirements during the
fiscal year.
You have come together at time
when taxation stands out as the
states most serious economic prob
lem. The people have made con-
slant and increasing demands upon
the various departments Of state
government.
The resultant expansion Of the
functions of the departments in re-
Spouse to public insistence has
tended to increase the cost of gov
eminent. This expansion has been
brought about over a long period of
years, and logically results from a
complex and changing era of re-
markable growth in many direc-
tons.
Betterments and progress are not
spontaneous or magic growths. The
people pay for progress.

Cites Education Value

Ease of quick communication.
gocd roads, and facilities for speedy
transportation serve to merge com
munities. We no longer live in iso-
lated groups as in the old DAYS.
Eighty years ago there were good
reasons for setting up and main
tanning the numerous small political
units which we now maintain.
However, in this modern age.
when distances have ceased to be
formidable, and urban facilities
have made all sections kin. the rea~
sons for our numerous expensive
political units have become obso-
lete.
Mergers and consultations in in
oustry and business are the order
OF the new day. What is good BUSH
ness in private management ought
70 be Just as good business in public
administration.
An enabling act that would make
II possible for townships or counties
10 combine, thus doing away with
much OF the overhead of local gov
eminent, would provide one means
OF relief for the taxpayer.
Inc state wisely guarantees IN
every child in every home an eouaI
opportunity to obtain an education
Inc cost OF maintaining the public
SCHOOLS on modern standards so has
increased that many school units
are finding themselves unable To
meet the requirements Of today.

am convinced that the state,
through the state board OF accounts,
should exercise a closer supervision
of the expenditures of state funds
in the state school aid units, before
such expenditures are made.
The problems confronting joint
and consolidated schools have had
the careful attention of a commits
sion of experienced schoolmen and
public officials. The recommends
tions of this commission should re-
ceive your careful consideration.
A sound banking system is one of
the vital agencies in our social and
industrial welfare. The economic
depression has served to reveal GER
tain weaknesses in the Indiana sys-
tenn of banking.
1t is manifest that the bank S
strongest and best asset is the con-

f1dence and encourage business and
industrial activities. The subject is
respectfully urged upon your atten-
ton.
