Looking Ahead

LVUAiHS AHcdu
 { Here is Cinderella facing the future:
 T would like to keep on as an actress. I like the work and don't know any better way to make as much money as you can by acting. But I've seen it happen too often I was stenographer on the old sPathe and the RKO lots two years before I got into pictures-I've seen too many discoveries come and go to have any illusions about myself. I'm not going to hang on as an actress who isn't working.
 If ever spend six months with out a part in pictures am going to get on tramp steamer, see the world, and then come back and look for job-yes, at the type writer. , If it turns out that must go back to stenography, I won't be broken-hearted. I'll be glad that I've had the experience and start from there"
 Hollywood didn't spoil this Gin derella!

ASKS DEATH
FOR RUSSIANS
Soviet Prosecutor Willing To
Show Leniency Toward Accus-
ed Englishmen.
By EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff Correspondent

OnfLCu fTeSS StaII correspondent
MOSCOW, April IT. - Death for
six Russian prisoners but mercy for
the Englishman was suggested by
Prosecutor Andrew Vishinsky today
as Moscows famous sabotage trial
neared its end
Vihsinsky, although he made no
specific recommendations for pun
ishrnent in his final argument, ex-
onerated one of the six Englishmen,
A. w. Gregory.
"AIl of these men are guilty eX-
cept A. w. Gregory" he declared.
And all deserve death. But our
courts are not vengeful or cruel.
Nevertheless if the court consid-
ers it necessary to carry out the su-
preme measure, your hand must
not shake"
Turning to Allan Monkhouse,
chief of the Metropolitan Vickers
company in Russia and chief of the
English defendants, Vishinsky shout
ed:
"We have read your British es-
pionage laws and you would have
been convicted under them. We
will bring out verdict against you
too"
He asked special consideration for
the Russians Peter Oleynik and
Anna Kutuzova, employees of Met
ropolitan Vickers. For the woman
he asked consideration because al
though "she was ambitious to make
a foreign career, and despite her in
timacy with the Englishmen, she
came clean and revealed every
| thing"
vinshinsky indicated he thought
six of the IL accused Russians
should be executed.
He divided the defendants into
three groups, according to their
guilt. He said the first group, COM
prising Vassili A. Gusev, Nicholas
c.. Zorin, Peter Lobanov, Leonid A.
Sukhoruchkin, Michael d. KraShen-
nekov and Vassili Sokolov merited
death, because as Soviet citizens
their guilt was heavier.
The second group comprised all
the Britons except Gregory. In the
third group were the remaining
Russians.
The court adjourned until 7 p. m.
when defense counsel will make
their speeches.

FARM BUREAU THANKS HEWES

Unanimous Action Taken After President
And Irrigation District Director Replies
To Lone Critic.

resented by the director and alter
nate, but those of a membership
of 21-35 will be privileged to have
three directors and those of 36 or
over, four directors.
After this was settled and the di-
rectors about to adjourn, Bailey
arose and stated that he would like
to ask Hewes about his trip to Sac
ramento in which he represented
the minority of the Imperial Irri-
cation District board of directors
and the farm bureau, since the
latter had unanimously approved
adoption of Oil.
Willing To Answer
Hewes stated that he was willing
to answer any questions by Bailey
or anyone else, not only on this one
point but on any point that might
be brought up as he stood by his
platform and welcomed questions
concerning his actions.
Bailey then proceeded to ask his
questions and from the classifica-
ton bill proceeded to the All-Am-
erican canal, stating that he didn't
see how any one who claimed to be
for the canal could oppose the
program of the districts majority
in any respect.
In reply Hewes pointed out that
he failed to see how opposing the
majority of the board meant op-
posing the canal, since he and the
majority could both be for the can
al, yet differ on other questions,
and also on the best ways and
means of obtaining the canal.
Hewes stated that he is as his
campaign platform stated, first,
last and always for the All-Amer-
lean canal, but that he sometimes
doubted the sincerity of some of
the publicly ardent proponents of
the canal.
The argument ended by the di-
rectors taking hand and unani-
mously passing the resolution
thanking Hewes for making the
trip.

erty at Changli, the Changli rail-
road station master reported to
Peiping headquarters today.
Hundreds of wounded Chinese
poured in here from the $50 square
mile triangle in China proper new
]y occupied by Japanese and Man
chukuo troops, as Colonel Walter
S. Drysdale, United States military
attache, received disquieting reports
that bombs had fallen within 200
yards of the fifteenth United States
infantry camp at Chinwangtao.
Chinese military authorities re-
ported Japanese airplanes had
dropped bombs within SO miles of
Peiping. Chinese troops were has
tily entrenching themselves along
the south bank of the Luan river,
believing the Japanese were pre-
pairing to push their drive farther
into China proper by attacking the
major cities of Peiping and Tient-
sin.

greatest anxiety for foreigners
within the Chinese triangle occu-
pied by the Japanese after heavy
fighting.
A Chinese military communique
said japanese airplanes dropped 80
bombs at Shih Hsia, so miles north,
and that a leader and 10 workers
of the Red Swastika association
(Chinese Red Cross were killed.
The Chinese claimed they had shot
down a japanese airplane in the
immediate vicinity.
Chinese losses in fighting along
the Great Wall and the retreat to
the Luan river were believed to
have been disastrous. The dead
were estimated at 1000. Foreign Of
ficial observers found 1000 wounded
Chinese in Peiping along and esti-
mated that 5000 more had been
injured so seriously that they could
not be brought here.
Both Changli and Chinwangtao
are within the Japanese occupied
triangle. Its northern boundary is
the Great Wall, it faces the sea on
the dlst and the River Luan on the
southwest.

WASHINGTON, April II. U.P)-
President Roosevelt, surrounded by
members of his family, started the
traditional egg-rolling festivities on
the White House grounds today
by appearing briefly on the South
Portico and welcoming his Wis
itors.
The President, smiling, walked to
the railing of the Portico and to
a sea of upturned and eXpectant
faces he remarked:
Il wish 1 could come down there
and join you"
Then, as an afterthought, he ad-
ded:
There seems to be as many
adults as there are children"
A roar of laughter swept through
the crowd at this remark and still
smiling, the President turned and
went indoors to his work.
With Mr.. Roosevelt were Mrs.
Roosevelt; Mrs. Anna Roosevelt
Dali, their daughter and her two
little children, Buzzie and Sistie.

ECONOMY To
RULE MOVIES

HOLLYWOOD, April II. U.R)-
Motion picture studios today began
instituting far-reaching economies
expected to save thousands of dol
lars annually.
The measures have been recon-
mended by the conference OF Mo-
ton Picture Producers and Distrlb-
utors of America, in session here
under the craftsmanship Of Will H.
Hays for the past week.
Large savings are expected to re-
suit through the interchange of
story material among studios, and
by the exchange of stock shots and
sound effects.
Formation of process pools also
are being considered, as is the es-
tablishment of an artists service
bureau which would be a central
clearing house for all motion picture
actors, directors and writer's Seek
ing employment in Hollywood.
A statement issued by Hays office
said that the problem of adjusting
salaries to meet current business
conditions is not considered sub
ject for joint industry action.

a trip to Sacramento, at his own
expense, in the interests of Senate
Bill Oil, classifying irrigation dis

Adoption of this resolution and
decision to accept, with minor

the session which was unofficially

question of Hewes' trip.
AS the plan now stands, direc-
tors at large will be elected on the
basis of membership in each CEN

to have more than four directors
representing it. This last detail was

SENATOR CITES
JUDD CRUELTY

SACRAMENTO, April II. U.R)-
Impending execution of Winnie
Ruth Judd, Arizona murderess, was
today drawn into the anti-capital
punishment fight in the California
legislature.
Senator Roy Fellom, San Fran
cisco, declared "the shameful pos
ition of Arizona in the eyes of the
civilized world as the result of its
barbaric and revolving conduct of
the Ruth Judd case, has turned the
spotlight on the essential vicious
ness and depravity of capital pun
ishment."
The San Francisco senator de-
clared Arizona was numbering
Ruth Judd day by day."
"The calculating, premediated kill
ing of Mrs. Judd by torture and
insanity, to be followed in all prob
ability, by the eliminating shame
of strangling her on the gallows,
far surpasses in actual viciousness
her own horrible crime Fellom
charged.
Fellom contended the Judd case
was typical example of the ''in-
defensible aspect of capital punish
ment." He pointed out that many
supporters of capital punishment
opposed the execution of the woman
but added fundamentally, if it is
wrong to torture and strangle a
woman, it is equally wrong to tor
ture and strangle a man."
Capital punishment is a poor
mans penalty, Fellom argued.
I'VE did not hang Loeb and Leo
pold," he declared. "We never have
and never will hang the man of
wealth and influence"
The anti-capital punishment bill
has passed the as sembly and is
now before the senate. Strong op-
position is manifest in the upper
house.
