Hollywood Boulevard went quiet

crowds begin to come back to the

eloped with his sweetheart's
mother. The idea sounded good
and I was anxious to get it
on paper. After completing
about a half page the same
steward again interrupted to
announce that lunch was being
served.
I left my typewriter and
went to the dining-room. I
seated myself next to a gentle
man who acted as though he
hadn't eaten in a year of
Easter Sundays. He grabbed
everything in sight and between
gulps would turn and make
some crack to me. Finally, he
stopped chewing long enough
to inquire if I had yet had the
pleasure of meeting DR.. Henry.
Now, since I boarded this
vessel I had heard of this cele-
brated doctor. I haven't seen
him around since we left Cal
cutta, but that is by no means
unusual. I've been on many
boats on this trip, and there
are lots of passengers that I
haven't seen. There are lots
more, too, that I have seen and
wished I hadn't.
At any rate, I had heard
quite some comment about the
learned gentleman abroad.
There were those who said he
kept to his cabin because he

EN- ROUTE FROM Cali
CUTTA, India, to Rangoon,
Burma.-We're still ploughing
along and making excellent
headway. I'm glad that I was
lucky enough to pick a fairly
speedy vessel for this trip, for
the simple reason that this is
a long journey. And the quicker
I set foot on land, the better
I'm going to like it. Not that
I'm seasick, you understand.
It's just the idea that I've been
seeing so many oceans and
rivers of late, that I'm getting
tired of gazing at nothing but
water.
After breakfast this morning
I wanted to do something diff
ferently. No longer did I feel
that I wanted to stand against
the deck rail, gaze down at the
swirling pools made by this
boat and wonder what was hap
pening back on old Broadway.
Write a Column
No, stree. I decided to do
something hadn't done in a
long time. I made up my mind
that would sit on deck and
write a few columns. Now,
that in itself is a task, for the
simple reason that the minute
you start banging a typewriter
in sight of other passengers,
they Immediately think you are
one Of two evils. You're either
a playwright. Or you're crazy.
Maybe the passengers aren't far
wrong, at that. Come to think
of it, there isn't a heck of a lot
of difference between the two.
At any rate, lugged my type
writer on deck and went to
work. had Just completed the
first sentence, when a steward
approached to inquire if there
was anything I wished. I told
him in no uncertain words that
there was absolutely nothing I
wanted at the moment-unless
it was to be left alone.
With that interruption taken
care of, I turned back to the
typewriter. I was anxious to
get the first yarn finished, be-
cause the idea for it came to
me last night in my cabin. 1t
was a sob story of a carpenter
who fell in love with a plumb
er's daughter. He wanted to
marry her, but she couldn't
quite make up her mind.
She knew that the carpenter
hadn't hit a nail on the head
in over three months, whereas
her papa had been plumbing
quite successfully for over 13
years.

While she was thinking the
matter over, the carpenters got

Yesterday he signed a new long
term contract with M-G-M.
Immediately the studio began
searching for story which will

It was his filming of white
Shadows in the South Seas"
you'll recall, which launched him
as a fullfledged director. Since
that production, the wandering
director has led screen eXpedi-
tions into several other diverse
corners of the world for M-G-M.
One of these jaunts took him
into the interior of Africa to

Captain Krager said that LeWlsltee
gas. which has been the subject OF
much exaggeration lately, is only
slightly more poisonous than the
mustard gas used in the World war:
Recently an article appeared
which claimed that twelve bombs OF
Lewisite dropped on either Berlin

destroy all life in those cities" Cap
tain Karger said. This is pure
fiction, since the only casualties
would be within a nunoreu ydTuS
or so of each bursting point. There
are not enough airplanes to cover
a city of moderate size with a suffi-
Gent concentration Of gas to be
effective and no gas cheap enough
to wipe out whole cities without
first wiping out the treasury of the

Although the use Of chemicals
in warfare is effective in putting

the car, and finally the house.
The Smiths had been on home re-
lief for three months food
ticket for $40 every second week.
Mary's clothes wore out. For
weeks she had ceased haunting
the employment offices. No use
looking for what didn't exist.
But suddenly new hope famed
in the collective mind and heart
of America. President Roosevelt
had launched new plan, the Ma
tional Recovery Act, and it would
provide 100000 jobs by Labor
day, the administration predicted.
Every day the nations press
blared forth NRA progress: The
number of codes signed, lines of
men going back to work, the in
duStries reopening, the pay rolls
increased. Blue eagles tapped
their wings from every store Win
dow, delivery truck, loaf of bread,
carton of eggs.
"Hooray, recovery" the ballyhoo
chorus began.
60 Mary shined her shoes,
~ pressed her worn dress, &C
quired the gift coat and beret, and
with new courage and expecta-
ton went forth again.
This was her first morning
among the girl juniors. They
whispered to each other: Not
much chance here; look at the
hundreds for half a dozen jobs"
Mary felt bit dashed.
But what was worse this clear
fail morning, whose coolist bite
reminded Mary, against her will,
that the fifth winter of the de
preston" was only Whit away,
was something of which she was
unaware.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-11-02

She didn't know she was one of
37,209 girls and women who had
in the last four months implored
the employment Office run by the
state of New York to find her a
job; that this number was nearly
1000 more than for the same four
months a year ago; that every
one was rushing to agencies to
seek jobs, now that NRA is put
ting folks back to work"
She was thoroughly unaware of
the fact which all employment
and relief officials agree upon:
That while NRA is giving a lift
to factory production and to en-
ployment in certain industries, it
has done nothing appreciate for
the Office worker, that so-called
white-collar class to which Mary
belongs.
The Mary Smiths of the world

platitudes mouthed by the I'M

Junior" Mary Smith left Eras-

What if Pop had been out of a
job for long time? They had
almost paid up on the double
house in Flatbush. Her brother
Jim was getting $12 a week in
Wall Street as a runner. So when
she found a job stenogging and
the tenants caught up on the back

They could keep the kid brother
in school, and maybe they could
scrape up enough to pay the back
taxes by November, the skipped
installments on the house, car and

Gilbert SeIdes to Talk
on T0Wn Hall Program
Noted Author to Appear as
Fourth Lecturer of
Series.

Gilbert Seldes, publicist, play
wright and columnist, will speak on
The Vacuum in American Life" at
the English theater at 1870 tomor-
row. He is the fourth lecturer to be
brought to indianapolis this season
by the Indianapolis Town Hall
series.
Mr.. Seldes is one of the ablest
interpreters of the Ss-currents
in contemporary American life. His
latest book, The Years of the Lo-
Gust" is the first attempt to survey
the depression not as a financial or
economic event but as something
that has happened to human be-
ings, altering their habits of life,
their ideas and their ideals. His
lecture is expected to deal somewhat
with this phase of the subject.
Mr.. Seldes is the only man who
ever contributed steadily and stimuli
taneouSly to the Dial and the
Saturday Evening Post. He was
editor of the former and at one time
successfully served on the Phila-
delphia Evening Ledger as music
critic, military expert, war CORE
spondent, and editorial writer on
international affairs.
During the war, Mr.. Seldes twice
was at the British front as a news
paper correspondent, and after the
United States entered the war he
served in the American army. His
other newspaper activities include
the position of associate editor of
Golfers, contributing editor to the
New Republic, dramatic critic for
the New York Evening Graphic and
columnist for the New York Eve
ming Journal.

TALK SPECIAL SESSION
Legislators Are Asked to
Canvas Sentiment of
Constituency.

Members of both houses of the
Indiana general assembly today were
questioned as to their sentiments
concerning a special session and
asked to attend a meeting Nov. Is
to take the kinks out of the Nc
Mutt administration"
Senators and representatives were
queried on three points:
l. Will you attend such meetingP
2. Do you favor a special session
Of the legislature.
3. What is the sentiment of your
constituency regarding the McNutt
administration?
Place Not Announced
The call to a meeting, at a place
yet to be announced, was in the
form of a letter from Marvin II.
Pickett, who signed himself news
editor of the Richmond Ind Pal
ladlum- Item. He is the son of Fred
Pickett, supreme court clerk and
leading Democratic politician.
Political observers regarded the
summons as a sequel to the informal
caucus here Saturday of eight dis
satisfied state senators and one rep
reSentative, some of whom voiced
demands for a special session and a
"StatehouSe cleanup"
Coincidental with the letter from
Mr.. Pickett came a statement from
Wilfred Jessup, Richmond, Wayne
county representative, who was la
beled a McNutt administration lead
er in the lower house at this years
session of the legislature.
Advocates Two Sessions
Mr. Jessup asserted he is not in
sympathy with the meeting called
for Nov Is Ito take the kinks out
of the McNutt administration" but
he does advocate two special Ses-
sions.
One, Representatives Jessup be-
lieves, should be called Immediate
ly ito enable the state to ben lit to
the fullest extent in federal i'm
povement money disbursements;
abolish primary election laws; revise
poor relief laws; revise county and
township organization laws and
township and town school laws, and
amend tax laws"
The second session, Mr.. Jessup
believes, should be called after the
eighteenth amendment is repealed,
to draft a liquor control law for
Indiana.
FavOrS Frank Daley
Representative Jessup said he was
mot taking sides in the recent con-
troVersy between Governor McNutt
and R. Earl Peters, Democratic state
chairman"
Frank C. Daley, indianapolis, is
his personal choice for Democratic
nominee for United States senator
next year, Representative Jessup
said.
Albert Stump, Indianapolis, is his
second choice, Mr.. Jessup said, but
if Mr.. Peters is nominated, he will
support the chairman.

10 DAYS IN JAIL Is
TOO LONG FOR SALLY
EVEN TO CONSIDER

By United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Ten days in
jail and $500 fine is enough of a
penalty for Sally Rand, who was
convicted of indecent exposure in
her famous fan dance, Judge Jo-
seph H. McGarry decided today.
His decision reduced the previous
sentence of one year in jail and a
5000 fine.
Sally'S attorneys posted $500
appeal bond, protesting that even
ten days in jail is too much for the
fan dancer who has become accus-
toned to luxury since she started
the fan dance fad at the worlds
fair.
