LEGISLATORS HONORED

CENATOR HULSE and Assemblyman
- Robinson may be justly proud of the
assemblage which extended a welcome
home to them last night at the Barbara
Worth hotel.
1t was representative Imperial Val
ley gathering of ranchers, workingmen,
professional men and businessmen from
all parts of the valley many of them ac-
companied by their wives, and all will
ing to give credit where credit is due.
They are men and women who have the
respect and confidence of all who know
them
Both honored guests, as we'll they
might be, were visibly affected by the
tribute accorded them. Any man who
values the esteem and friendship of his
fellow citizens could not help but feel
highly honored by being accorded such
a demonstration of friendship.

In Hollywood

Hollywood-Two tufts of bronze hair protruded below her blue beret !. the dreamy brown eyes didn't seem quite in accord with the laughing red lips and she talked about dolls dolls and toy animals and a mu- sical saw the saw assuming far more importance than the sal ad at which she stabbed with a fork now and then. Several men passing the table turned to gaze at the film actress, Vera Engels by name one who pre- tended he had something to tell me but obviously all he want ed was an introduction.
 "Once saw man playing a musical saw on the stage" the German importation declared. 1T decided that would learn to play so I went to music store and bought one. Now~I playa little. It is terribly hard on the wrist though"
 Complex for Dolls
 Miss Engels also has a complex for dolls and toy animals. Her apartment is full of them-and all different. No twins in the bunch. Of course, they are for decorative purposes only. But she has a lot of fun continually changing them around.
 Another thing the actress likes is a daily morning walk. But even that is giving her trouble. She doesn't like walking alone. And those with whom she would like to walk have an antipathy for arising

 The companion feature presents Paul Lukas and Loretta Young teamed together for the first time in Grand Slam"
 They play the roles of a bridal couple who spend their honeymoon giving exhibition games of bridge in which they expound a new sys- tenn by which husband and wife may play without quarreling. They are heralded everywhere as Amer ica's "bridge sweethearts," and make a triumphal tour of the country.
 The picture is a comedy treat ment of the American bridge craze, with its tournaments and championship contests, it's battles and it's bickerings. It's dialogue is snappy and sparkling while the action is filled with uproariously funny situations.
 Miss Young and Lukas do excel lent teamwork in the picture whether playing the game of love or war, of which there is plenty of both. Other players in the cast including Frank McHugh, Glenda Farrell, Helen Vinson, Walter Byron and Roscoe Karns.

Vaudeville at
 New Garden
Three Acts Booked as Weekend Attraction

Headlining the bill for Sunday only at the New Garden theater is Grand Siam" with Paul Lukas and Loretta Young. Bridge and bridge players are taken for a grand ride in this lively and hum- orous satire on the great indoor game of the day. Anybody who has any interest in bridge will get a great kick out of it, and the few non-aoddicts will find the subject treated in a mannert hat they, too, can understand ad ejoy. Paul Luk- as, @ sudiously-incli waiter who hates bridge, is dragged into the game by his bride, Loretta Young. Incredible luck follows him and he ascribes 1t to a new system of his own-a system without rules, thereby giving husbands no reason to squawk if their wives play a dumb game. But bridge fame fn- ally comes between Paul and his wife, with a Park avenue society dame, Helen Vinson, chasing him, while a boy friend, the tipsy Frank McHugh, plays faithful dog to the neglected bride. When word of the marital rift leaks out, Paul's fame crashed, but he stages a comeback and wife comes to his aid for a winning climax. Whether you play bridge, pinochle, the ponies or a pipe organ, you'll laugh yourself limp at this First National picture.
 The companion feature Is "Whir1wind" with Tim Mccoy sup ported by Alice Dahl. There is @ thrill in "Whirlwind," every min- ute up to the climax.
 The special added attraction will be the addition of three acts of Broadway vaudeville. Manager Halliwell is making a weekly trip to the biggest vaudeville booking agency on Broadway to select them so even despite the lack of a large accompanying orchestra and associate drapes and scenery the acts have had real merit to war.

Wax Museum
 At The Lyric

Fay Wray's marked resem blance to Marie Antoinette, the guillotined Queen of France, was the deciding factor in engaging her for one of the leading roles in the Warner Brothers. Technicolor thriller, "The Mystery of the Wax Museum" I" which opens at the Lyric theater on Sunday. The fact that she is one of the most capable screen actress es was, of course, a requisite, but a player was needed who resembled the French Queen. Not that she plays such a character in the pie ture, but it is one of the mysteries of the picture that she must re- semble the wax figure of the queen. And on the same program, Buck Jones in California Trail".

Gay Adventure
 in State Film "The Keyhole" Stars Kay Francis and George
 Brent

"The Keyhole," a picture of TO- nance and gay adventure, unique in plot and glamorous in setting, in which the two popular Warner Bros stars, Kay Francis and George Brent appear together for the first time, opens at the State theater to-day.
 There is well chosen cast of selected players. Glenda Farrell and Allen Jenkins form an excel- lent comedy team, their psuedo romance acting as a foil to set off and accentuate the dramatic roles of featured players, Miss Francis and Brent. The other three play CTS who have important parts are Monroe Owsley, Helen Ware, and Henry Kolker.
 The screen play by Robert Pres- nell is based on Alice D. c. Miller's story Adventures" and is every- thing that the original title implies. The theme treats of q beautiful young dancer who marries an elder- ly man of great wealth and social prominence who is extremely jeal- ous of his young wife and engages a private detective to watch her.
 Dogged by the spy and fl ,g from blackmailer, the he. ,e becomes involved in some startling situations that lead to strange en- tanglements. The story carries the spectator from the palaces of New York aboard a coastwise liner to Havana. Most of the scenes take place on shipboard and in the Cu- ban capital. There are many beau- tiful scenes at sea and in the tropi- cal atmosphere of the southern is- land.
 Miss Francis. the tall, stately fashion plate of the screen, is said to wear some of the most stunning gowns of extreme decolette ever visioned on the screen. The direc- ton is by Michael Curtiz, who di- rected '"The Mystery of the Wax Museum, Doctor x" and twenty Thousand Years in Sing Sing"

SENATE To QUIZ
HOWE TODAY

Col. Louis McHenry Howe, Sec
retary to President Roosevelt, will
be recalled to appear before the
Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee as that body today continues
it's investigation of the $280,000
contract for toilet kits for the men
in the reforestation camps.
Colonel Howe appeared volun-
tarily before the committee last
week to testify that he had not in
structed Robert Fechner, director
of the Civilian Conservation
Corps, to make the purchase but
had merely informed him that he
had the authority to enter into
the contract if he found it advis-
able to do so.
The investigation was launched
by Senator Carey (R0 of Wyom-
ing, who charged that the con-
tract is costing the Government
$4,000 more than the price for
which the War Department could
have furnished the articles.
Richard BeVier, president of
company which was awarded the
contract, will also be recalled to
the stand today. Saturday he was
instructed to send to New York
for all documents relating to the

and found him in a fatigued con-
dition. He was unable to eat a
steak which he had asked be
made ready for him, and re-
quested a bath and chance to
sleep before taking off for No

said:
"Just let me hit the hay for
two or three hours and I'll be
all right"
May Land at Omsk
While he hopes to reach Novo-
Sibirsk, Mattern said he may de-
eide to land at Omsk. because
there is a better field there. The
next scheduled stop is Yakutsk.
Soviet authorities, however,
have not given Mattern permis-
sion to land at YakutSk. If per-
mission fails to come through in
time, he may land at Khabarovsk
and then fly to Nome, Alaska.
Mattern made no secret OF the
fact his flight across the Atlantic
with an unexpected landing on
tiny Kragero Island in Oslo Fjord,
had "taken a lot out of me"
He was determined, however,
to get going as soon as possible
and was immensely cheered when
his computations showed him he
was more than three hours ahead
of Post and Gatty when he
reached here.
Before he retired for his forty
winks," Mattern gave full in
structions to the Soviet mechanics
regarding the necessary repairs
to the oil pressure gauge.
Gets Wild Ovation
The workmen bent to the job
with a ready will. Mattern left
a lasting impression upon Soviet
aviation officials on his last at
tempt, and there we're many eX-
pressions of admiration for his
courage in trying the flight again
all alone after the accident which
befell him and Griffin last year.
It is doubtful whether any
aviator ever received SUCH a well
come upon arriving in Moscow
as that accorded the smiling
Texas flier. Eight Soviet airmen
constituted the reception COM
mittee. They dragged Mattern
from the cockpit, tossed him up
and down in their arms, and
then hoisted him to their shoul-
ders, marching in triumph to the
administration offices.
Mattern accepted the welcome
with his usual smiling geniality.
But his chief concern was to get
started again as soon as possible.
He said:
81 want to get on to Nome,
then I'll begin to feel at hOme.".

HOUSE PUSHES
VET AID DESPITE
ROOSEVELT
President Threatens Veto If
New Taxes Are Not Pro-
vided by Congress

The special House veterans
committee today decided to make
the Connally amendment, re-
storing $17O,OOO,00O to the vet
erans' economy act, the basis for
House action despite President
Roosevelt's warning that new
taxes must be levied if the
amendment is adopted.
After the meeting, Representa-
tiv Pou CD of North Carolina,
dean of the House, declared that
the House will demand revision
of the drastic veterans economy
act.
Speaker Rainey said:
present indications are that
the House will either adopt the
Senate amendment limiting re-
ductiOnS in the economy act to
rs per cent or adopt an even
more liberal attitude"
Rainey indicated belief that
Congress would uphold presi-
Dental veto of the independent Of
fices supply bill. He added that
the controversy with the President
lends all hope of adjournment on
Saturday"
Mr.. Roosevelt is determined to
keep the special session here all
summer if necessary to prevent a
disarrangment of the budget
through last-minute concessions
to the veterans.
Threatens Veto
He bluntly told IA Democratic
Congressman last night that if
they persisted in passing the Con-
molly which would
limit to Is per cent the amount
that could be cut from veterans
payments-it would be necessary
to enact additional taxation to
offset the cost.
At a three-hour White House
conference. he asked these lead
ers to tell him what form of
taxes could be imposed, but no
suggestions were forthcoming.
The meeting ended in stal
mate. The Congressman told the
President the House was in a
very substantial mood to pass
the disputed measure. Mr.. Roose
velt assured them he would veto
it unless it was financed.
May Resort to Radio
It was considered likely Mr.
Roosevelt would resort to the
radio and appeal directly to the
people if the House doesn't re
cede.
Advocates of the sales tax were
hopeful the situation would bring
about enactment of that type Of
levy.

WOMAN 5 PLUCK
TRAPS FELON

CHICKASHA, Okla, June S
G.N.SO.-A woman's daring in
the face of a hail of bullets today
had resulted in capture of Frank
Sawyer, escaped convict from the
Kansas Penitentiary, who yester-
day was taken into, custody after
he had shot one man during
reign Of terror.
Robert Goodfellow, Cad d o
county clerk, was shot and prob
ably fatally wounded when Sawyer
attempted to use him as a shield
during a gun battle with Sheriff
Horace Crisp and Deputy AL
NARROW near Binger.
The county clerk and a sister,
Lois, a student at Oklahoma A.
and M. College, the last Of eight
persons to be kidnapped by the
desperate after a day of depreda'
tions which struck terror to the
countryside, aided in Sawyer's cap
ture. Miss Goodfellow was riding
with her brother when Sawyer
commandeered their car.
Braving a hail of bullets, Miss
Goodfellow leaped at the bandit
and pulled his hair until Deputy
NARROW stepped in and wrested
the gun from the felon, telling
him with a blow to the head.
Nine of the escaped felons were
still at liberty.
