Hollywood, or at least that part of
the film capital owned by Charley
Chaplin, is Patricia Detering, or
Sari Martha, as she is known
professionally over here.
Mary and her little lamb had
nothing on Charley ana his little
Patricia.
For everywhere that Charley
went, Patty was sure to be.
Charley not only took her to
lunch on his own; he waltzed her
right in among his aristocratic
friends, Sir Philip Sassoon and a
lot of the other nobs.
When she walked in, they all
sat up and took plenty of de-
lighted notice.

Also she is 20, lives in the
South Kensington portion of Lon

ing by filling moderate roles in
the British movie studios and, on
the side. posing for some very
lovely pictures for facial creams
and other advertisements.
Where Chaplin met her is his
secret. But his admiration for
the pretty girl is nobody's secret.
1t has been blazoned to all the
country.
1T also is understood that she is
Il going to Hollywood to take a
considerable part in the next
Chaplin film.
Anyhow, London is sure that
her fortune is made. For every
time Chaplin has very much ad-

both cases that meant wealth and

President to Sail Wednes-
day or Thursday on Trip
/ to Porto Rico.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Ac-
tivity at the White House, the navy
department and aboard the recon
ditioned Arizona vas speeded up to-
day to permit the earliest possible
start by President Hoover on his
trip to Porto Rico and the Virgin
islands, announced over the week
end.
The time Of departure may be
made known today. The President
probably will sail from Norfolk
Wednesday or Thursday depending
upon how soon accommodations
can be made ready.
Mrs. Hoover has decided not to
make the voyage, and instead will
visit her son, Herbert Jr., who is Ill
in ASheville, N. G.
In the Presidents party will be
War Secretary Patrick Hurley, In
terror Secretary Lyman r. Wilbur
and Lawrence Richey the Presi-
dents secretary.
Visits to Scenes of Suffering
In making this trip, the President
is rejecting numerous invitations to
spend genuine vacation in some
expensive southern resort. It is
understood he does not feel juSti-
fled in idling in some rich mans
playground while there is wide
spread suffering in the country.
The ten-day West Indian tour is
Of a piece with this attitude. Both
Porto Rico and the Virgin islands
have suffered heavily, physically
and economically in recent years.
The Virgin islands were pur-
chased from Denmark in 1917 for
military reasons. They he a
total area of only 133 square miles,
with a population of 10000. The
latter has been shrinking rapidly
of late due to heavy migration of
native Negroes to New York City.
Women now outnumber the men
by 20 per cent.
Brighter in Porto Rico
He will see pathetic people i'm
poverished-well nigh forgotten for
years = their formerly lucrative
trade in rum and bay rum gone.
He will see islands that have been
devastated by earthquakes-islandS
foredoomed by geologists to oblivion
when some gigantic future earth
tremor engulfS them.
The Porto Rican vista, while de-
pressing, will be brighter to some
extent, due to the recent aSsiduous
efforts of Governor Roosevelt to
mitigate the lot of the native@to
build up waning industry and intro
duce new trades-to foster educa-
ton and better social conditions.
Yet here, too, will suffering meet
his eye-suffering from the blight
ing breath of inexorable hurricanes.

PAUL MOORE
QU|TSPOST AS
AIRPORT CHIEF
Resigns in Secret Session
After Long Period
of Turmoil.
cox NAMED SUCCESSOR
NJ. G. Johnson, Engineer, to
Take Assistants Job
at Field.

After months of turmoil and
clashes over authority, Paul H.
Moore, superintendent of the Indi-
ana municipal airport, today sub
mitted his resignation to the works
board.
The action was taken in closed
session of the board from which
newspaper men were excluded.
Moore left the city hall before he
could be questioned
Only recently has the board had
the power to control the situation
at the airport. This authority be-
came vested in the board with the
passage Of a bill in the legislature
which removed the previous dual
power of the city council and the
works board.
Cox Us Successor
Charles Z. Cox Jr., employed as
assistant superintendent several
months ago an dthen reported as
being groomed for Moore's place,
will be the successor Of the for
mer superintendent.
M. G. johnson, assistant city en-
gineer, who was identified with the
airport project in the final months
of construction, will step into Cox's
place and will be known as engineer
and airport manager and also will
retain his post in the city engi-
neer's Office.
Johnson will be paid 500 g
month in addition to his salary in
the engineers Office for services at
the airport, Edward Johnson, at
tache at the airport, was named
assistant to Cox at a salary of
$1,000. Cox will receive $500 an
nually.
Believes Resignation Demanded
Moore's resignation, according to
reports at the city hall, followed
months of pickering between Moore
and Cox, and the works board and
council. 1t is believed generally
that his resignation was demanded
after the legislatures action gave
the works board power to act.
Heretofore, the works. board was
tied and could not take action on
airport matters without ratification
of the city council. During this
period, Moore retained sufficient
support in the council which, it was
reported, would have held the post
for him in case of an open battle.
Moore supervised construction OF
the airport which cost the city more
than $750,000 The building of the
airport went smoothly until last
summer when several blowups oc-
Cured among workmen and off,
cials. Battles f1ared over digging
the second well and its alleged
heavy content Of pollution.
Regime Is Cut Short
Other outbreaks came when COM
pletion of the administration
building was months overdue and
finally it was taken over by bond
ing company.
Moores regime at the airport
was short, the city only moving to
the field i'll the last thirty days.
f. Kirk Mckinney. president of
the board, said Moore had submit
ted a verbal resignation and indi-
Gated $1,000 in salaries would be

ton.
Moore formerly was connected
with the Chamber of Commerce and
spent several years in developing
aviation activities in the city.
