LABOR PARTY IN IRELAND CAUSE
 OF TROUBLE
Reduction of Civil Service Wages Has Caused Split in Ranks of De Valera

Iublin, Dec 31---(UP)--A break with the labor party over reduce tfon of civil service wages threat ened to-day to cause the over throw of the republican govern ment headed by Ramon De Valera.
 William Norton. labor leader. has turned the balance of power in the Dali in De Valera's favor and saved the government from vicious attacks by the opposition, headed by former President Wil- liam f. Cosgrave, but to-day Nor- ton accused the government of a breach of faith. and 1t was consid- cred doubtful If he could be pla- cated before the Dali reassem bles February 1.
 De Valera made q desperate at- tempt to satisfy the laborites by in- forming Norton that the govern ment would suspend half the pro- jccted cuts among lower wage earners pending q report of the committee appointed to report on the present cost of living. Norton called the governments offer "a puny attempt to meet a grave sit- nation" which he could not re- gard as settlement.
 Wages are already at q poverty level. and the minister of finance admits that the cost of living index figure on which the government based it's decision Is inaccurate and unreliable" Norton said.
 9I will continue the sfght."
 Norton endeavored for two weeks to persuade De Valera not to make the civil service wage cuts planned for January l. At a meet ing last night De Valera told Nor ton and other members of the labor party he could mold out no hope that the governments deci- sion will be modified" The cuts will reduce civil service incomes about one-thirteenth.
 The split with the labOrites was the first since De Valera returned to power. Meanwhile the Cos- grave party has been campaigning Throughout Ireland telling farmers that their grave plight may be blamed on De Valera's policies of rctainin land annuities, which brought on the present economic war between Ireland and Britain.
 The oppositio is also active in organizing dissatisfied farmers into new political groups, while the lord mayor of Dublin has launched q new party pledged to honor the anglo Irish treaty and to try to im- prove relations with Great Britain.

800 AutOists
 Crowd Office

Three's long, long trail a-wind- ing
 The above might be appropriate ly applied to the long line of auto mobile marker seekers who are pa- tiently waiting In place on Bene- dict street. as this article is being written. Traffic Officer Joseph Reilly estimated there were 300 in line outside the office and another 200 inside the building near 10 o'clock this morning.
 officials inside handling the throngs at the rate of 200 an hour. announced that 500 registration blanks were punched from 8 to 9 o'clock this morning. That does not mean that 500 markers are is- sued each hour. The girls in the office are not able to do that; but Myron c. Hill. state motor vehicle inspector punches the cards held by those in line in order to ex- pedlte matters when the purchaser comes to the windows of the clerks.
 Yesterday the office set a new record wben 1910 markers were issued. It Is believed that record will either be equalled or beaten today. After o'clock this evening those who have not received 1888 markers are plain out of luck. They will not be permitted to use 1932 plates after 12 tonight.

new BI-ACOUSTEC
RADIO COMES TO
|. Y. HARDWARE

If you were offered the choice of
front row orchestra seats and seats
in the gallery for the greatest
show on earth" there would not be
much hesitation in choosing the
orchestra seats-that is the pic
tresque analogy which Warren
Currier, sales manager of the I'M
perial Valley Hardware company
used TO describe the superior opera
ton of what he termed the great
est technical advance in radio since
the introduction of socket powered
radio receivers-bi-acoustic radio.
Bi-acoustic is the term which en-
. gineers of the RCA Victor company,
at radio headquarters, use to de-
scribe collectively, the major
acoustical improvements incorpor-
ated in the new radio instrument.
Twice the tonal range and twice
the power are among the advances
claimed for the now bi-acoustical
instrument.
To listen to the tonal reproduc-
ton of the new radio receiver is
like moving down from the peanut
gallery of the radio audience to take
front row seat in the orchestra,
Currier said One need not be mu-
sically sophisticated to appreciate
the improvement IN tone quality
which the new principle makes
possible. Ordinary receivers usually
drop out certain of the instruments
of the orchestra and add tinny or
boomy effects of their own at Ger
tain volume levels. Bi-acoustic
radio compensates for this defi-
cheney scientifically, Currier said.
The new instrument was on dis
play at the local hardware store
today.

Ann Harding In
Newest Picture

Closely paralleliing her own life,
when she astounded the picture
world recently by divoreing her hus-
band because she believed her place
in the films was a handicap to his
talents, Ann Harding has a most
natural role in Westward Passage .,
which plays tonight only at Fox
Imperial ali dome.
Miss Harding's divorce was a SEN
Sation for weeks but she justified it
on the grounds that her husbands
identity had been completely sub
merged by her fame
In Westward Pasasge" she di-
vorces her first husband and gam
bles for happiness in a second mar
riage. The old love has never been
quenched and comes into her life
again. Her new husband also does
a bit of gambling to see if the old
love is strong enough to take his
wife from him. He takes the risk
and calmly awaits the results, but
to tell what they are would be to
spoil anticipation in the film.
Laurence Olivier and Irving Pic
hel are cast as the husbands and
others in the cast are Zasu Pitts,
Juliette Compton. Joyce Compton,
Emmett King, Nance O'Neill, Irene
Purcell and Florence Roberts
Elaborate settings feature the
production which was directed by
Robert Milton.
