 BE SAFE IF THEY GO TO HOLLYWOOD

Hollywood, Feb 24-UP)-The motion picture capital united today to assure the nation that Holly
 wood is safe for the navy. and needs no federal investigation. The inference of Rear Admiral Upham in Washington that Hollywood might be dangerous for young navy officers if they were sent to study at the University of California 'at Los Angeles brought sarcastic com mentary from stars and young ac- tresses alike.
 "The navy needn't be afraid to turn it's men loose in Hollywood. |" was the view they took. "There are plenty of good-looking men in the films, and most of the girls would pay no attention to the navy men, Subscribing to this r opinion were Estelle Taylor. for mer wife of Jack Dempsey, and Lillian Bond. English actress. Sor- critics at the university agreed not to run after" the navy men.
