Marion Davies excels in the

"NOrma Shearer would be my
choice as the best-groOmed
woman on the screen. That is
her own talent. To be immacu-
late is innate.
"JOan Crawford, more than
any single actress, affects the
trend in styles. Whatever she
would choose to wear on the
screen would start vogue. And
while she is a bit daring, what
in others would seem bizarre,
seems perfectly natural to her
electrical personality.
"Lilyan Tashman is entitled
to rank in any group of best

DEBTS, CLAIMS
TENTATIVELY
ADJUSTED
Litvinoff Ready to Depart,
Leaving Details of Pact
for Diplomats

Soviet Russia has agreed tenta.
lively to make a cash payment to
the United States in connection
with the American debt and dam
age claims.
This was learned today as
Maxim Litvinoff, the Soviet com
missar, left the Capital by auto.
mobile for New York, where he
will embark for Moscow.
Information as to the amount
which the Soviets have agreed to
pay and the method in which it
will be paid was withheld pending
q final understanding through
diplomatic channels.
Dollar Payment Likely
The payment probably will be
made in dollars and American
quarters feel it will be satisfactory
to this Government.
The amount to be offered in
connection with the $187, 100000
Kerensky debt will be revealed to
Congress for its approval. The re-
mainder will be an understanding
between President Roosevelt and
the Soviet government.
Litvinoff remained here nearly
o week in the hope that the final
settlement could be reached be-
fore his departure.
Both sides had hoped this final
understanding on debts could be
made the climax to the resump-
ton of normal relations which re-
suited from Litvinoff's visit.
Morgenthau Too Busy
It was found impossible to
reach a final settlement on both
debts and damage claims in such
q short time, because of the COM
plicated nature of the details and
the inability of American Govern
ment officials, especially acting
secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
THAI, to devote sufficient time to
the matter.
The State Department said the
discussions would be actively con-
tinued by officials of both govern
ments.
Besides the Kerensky obliga-
ton, the debt question involves
some $86,000,000 loaned the Gar
list regime by American financial
institutions. This is not a Gov
eminent debt, however, and there
fore does not present difficult
problem.
The American damage claims
against the Soviets for confiscated
property have been estimated as
high as $400,000000.

brilliant climax to a dismal season
today by scoring a 1912 victory
over a previously undefeated Army
eleven.
Stopped cold for three periods,
the Notre Dame eleven co-ordinated

this season, whipped over two

point in the final period that sent
the Cadets down to their first de-
feat of the year.
To Paul LukatS, brilliant - Irish y

els of the starting upset.
Army ripped over its touchdowns
in the second period. After recoV-
ering Lukats' tumble on the Notre
Dame 33 yard line, the Cadets
pushed to the II yard line from
where Jack Buckler swept LETT end
for a score. Buck!ed missed the
kick.
Later, Bucknam intercepted Pill
ney's pass and ran five yards to
the Notre Dame % yard line. Con-
slant pounding at the line moved
the soldiers to the 2l2 yard line,
and johnson plunged over for a
score. Again Buckler missed the

Plans of the state liquor control
board to grant temporary liquor re-

in California brought charges to-
day that the practice would put
"hoodlums in the saddle and keep
decent people OUT
The state board of equalization
state control agency, has received
SIS 900 liquor applications under the
state law which permits stores to
sell package goods which must not
be drunk on the premises.
Indications that the board would
approve without immediate investi-
CATION every application which ap-
peared in good order and had the
required character references led to
a protest meeting of Northern Cal

Speaking for the group, Earl
Warren, district attorney, Alameda

gets a license from the state to do
business and he invests money in
that enterprise, I doubt very much
if the board can refuse him a new
license on the ground of bad char

REVOLT OPENS

Louisiana Citizens Take Steps
To Break Control Of King
fish In State.

ST. FRANCISV1LLE, La, Dec. 2.
Local authorities announced openly
today that they sympathized with
& citizens revolt against Senator
Huey P. Longs political rule.
This ordinarily peaceful rural
community tensely awaited the al =
rival of trucks from Baton Rouge
with fresh supply of ballots for
Tuesdays election, which many
citizens believe will be merely a
means of railroading Longs hand
picked candidate into congress.
Two violent demonstrations met
with no official resistance. A band
Of citizens stormed the court hoUso,
carried out the first consignment
of ballots sent here from Bato,.
Rouge, the capital, and burned
them. Later another band stopped
two state highway department
trucks and burned their contents o.
circulars booming the candidacy OF
Mrs. Bolivar E. Kemp Longs
"hand-picked" candidate in the spe-
cial election to choose a successor
for her late husband in the house
of representatives.
Citizens committees in each of
the IL parishes composing the sixth
congressional district, pressed for
a quick hearing of their suits to
halt the election. Other groups an
nounced they were using every
means to stop the election. They
urged citizens to stay away from
the polls, and some talked of shot
guns.
Gov. o. K. Allen, a Long sub
ordinate, called the special election
while citizens were organizing a
rump election. He designated the
Democratic central committee to
choose the party's candidate, in
stead of ordering the usual party
primary. Tie committee, Long
controlled. had designated Mrs.
Kemp before Aliens official order
was issued.
Citizens committees which called
their rump election for December
81 said that it would be held re-
gardless of Tuesdays election aid
that congress would be forced to
judge which election represented the
sentiment of voters.

MOLEY REPLIES To CRITICISM
Of ROOSEVELT MONEY POLICY

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2. UP) -
The Smith, Sprague- -Baruch trium-
virate of presidential critics was
signaled out for attack today by
Prof. Raymond Moley, delivering a
strong defense to President Roose-
velts gold policies.
Describing a new political era as
revolutionary as that which mark
ed the regime Of Thomas Jeffer-
son, Moley derided Al Smith, Prof.
O. NJ. W. Sprague and Bernard
BarucE for their resistance to new
deal policies.
You can't understand economics
by getting mad at it," Moley told
a local Democratic club. you
can't describe it in a phrase. You
can't destroy ideas by making
sneering remarks about professors.
I believe Al Smith simply got lit
tie mad"
Moley said the concerted attack
on Mr.. Roosevelt's gold policies
Imperial Valley press., 1933-12-02

looks very much like the result of
deliberate plot to float planned
Republican propaganda.
Too many people. including Mi
Baruch," he said, "are talking not
about what actually is happening
but about various kinds of lnfla-
ton which aren't happening"
Moley scoffed at Sprague, his
former fellow brain truster" in
the Presidents kitchen cabinet for
lis recent criticism of gold pur-
chaSes.
I'VE are simply making a bid for
gold in the world markets, which
is precisely what the Bank OF Eng
land has been doing every morning
for a good many hundred morn
ings,' Moley continued. "Proies-
sor Sprague, when he was adviser
to the Bank of England, never COM
planned to Montague Norman about
this. He only began to complain
when we started doing it."

Princeton IS Tigers remained the
only eastern football team with q
perfect record for the season by
smashing to a 27-2 victory over
Yale here today in the 57th renew
al of their traditional rivalry.
Behind in the first few minutes
of play when Yale scored safety,
the Tigers snapped into perfect
passing and running attack to
score almost at will. The game was
hard fought, however, as evidenced
by the fact that several players
were removed from the field on
stretchers after being injured.
Kilcullen blocked c. kaufman S
kick in the opening period and re-
covered it for Yale's safety.
Ceppi then led Princeton into
the scoring column by blocking
Keesling's kick and running 35
yards to a score.

SCOT TSBORO
VERDICT To
BE APPEALED
Conviction Of Negro Will Be
Fought Through U. S. Court
If Necessary.
BY BEN COTHRAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

DECATUR, Ala, Dec. 2. A
new jury OF rural Alabamans to-
day took up the fate of the second
of the Scottsboro defendants while
the imported defense counsel pre-
pared a lengthy appeal from the
jury verdict which found the first
guilty with an accompanying pen
atty of death.
The appeal would be based upon
many rulings of Judge William w
Callahan and his general charge
to the jury which did not include
the method whereby the jury
could have acquitted the defendant
had it wished to do SO, until the
omission was called to his atten-
ton. Samuel S. LeiboWitz, chief of
defense counsel, said he would do
his talking in the United States
supreme court"
While Clarence Norris went on
trial, his convicted co-defendant
Haywood Patterson, slept peace
fully in his jail cell.
The penalty prescribed by the
jury late yesterday was the third
time Patterson had heard himself
condemned.
Nine Negroes were pulled off a
freight train at Painted Rock, Ala,
in 1881 and charged with assault
ing two white women hoboes. Eight
were found guilty and sentenced
to death in a quick trial. One con-
viction was reversed by the Ala
bama supreme court on the ground
that the defendant was a minor.
The other seven were reversed by
the United States supreme court.
Patterson was tried alone last year
and the second death verdict was
reversed by the then presiding
Judge on the ground of insufficient
evidence.
City Remains Calm
Since the first trial the Negroes
have been defended by liberals and
Communist organizations which
made it into a cause celebre to
illustrate their contention that
southern courts did not deal fairly
with Negroes.
While Decatur was calm and no
one connected with the defense
seemed in any danger, guards were
assigned to Mrs. Leibowitz and her
child. 1t was revealed that two
letters, one mailed here and one
mailed from Florida, and both
threatening harm, had been re-
ceived.
The case which the state was
to present against Norris was ex-
actly the same as that which con-
victed Paterson. 1t alleged that
Ruby Bates and Victoria Price had
been assaulted on a freight train
by gang OF Negroes who had
first chased a group OF white men
from the train. Miss Bates re-
pudiated the story at Patterson's
second trial, but Mrs. Price testi-
fled against him for the third time

CVIA pRUJECIg APPRUVED At
MEETING Of COUNTY GROUPS
Program Designed To Give Work To Valley
Residents Will Be Submitted To State For
Recommendation.

Projects submitted from every
part OF the county were brought
up for consideration and approval
at a meeting of the county CWA
at the court house last night. DR..
Norman E. Dupont, chairman OF
the commission presided over this
meeting which was attended by
members OF the county relief COM
mission and administrators from
the different valley cities.
These projects considered by the
board at last nights meeting are
to be part OF the great national
CWA setup as recently inaugural
ed by the federal government. They
are to be passed upon and approved
by local commissions and then SUBJ
mitted to the state board for its
ultimate approval. 1t is the hope
of the government that by means
of these projects many idle men
may be put to work again and
improvements OF general benefit
might be achieved.
Or the projects approved by the
commission last night the following
are probably OF the greatest i'm
portance:
The county hospital project which
calls for the repairing OF roofs on
various buildings at that institu-
ton; the isolation wards; rebuild
ing of the laundry unit; fences
% I~1 10;
buildings to be painted; the en-
tire lighting system to be over
hauled and other improvements
of a similar nature. This project
with an estimated cost OF $8534.60
will mean that the county hospital
will practically be rebuilt. There
was no doubt in the minds OF the
commission that this project was
deserving OF the greatest support
