EFFORT TO CORNER
BULLION is MADE

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. (UP).
The government held the do
mestic gold buying price unchang-
ed at $34.06 an ounce today as
it tried to corner nearly 500
100000 in gold bullion and gold
money believed to be in private
hands. The price was $l.92 above
the world price set in London
and the dollar remained a 5000
cents relation to gold.
The gold buying program went
ahead coincident with the order
of Acting Secretary Of the Treas
ury Morgenthau, requiring that
all gold outside the federal re-
serve banks be exchanged for
other forms of money at the old
statutory price Of $2O.67 per
ounce.

By RICHARD D. MCMILLAN
United Press Staff Correspondent
(Ccpyrieht, 1888, United Press)

PARIS, Dec. 30. (UP).-A new
note of suspicion was injected
into the disturbed disarmament
efforts today by persistent rumorS
that Japan was seeking a secret
accord with Nazi Germany.
The United Press informant SAID
that Japan fears isolation follow
ing United States recognition or
Soviet Russia with the possible re-
suit that the Russians may be per-
mitted to manufacture American
fighting planes under an extension
of United States patents, ana
hence build up a powerful air fleet
for use in the Far East.
Furthermore, both Japan ana
Germany have withdrawn from
the League of Nations, and neither
are cooperating at the moment IN
the Geneva disarmament efforts.
The Japanese ambassador to
France. Naotake Sato, recently
appointed, explained Tokio'S arms
position when he said that Japan
felt the present arms discussions
were essentially European. When
they again touch on world affairs,
he said, Japan will return to the
parleys.
The United States likewise has
practically withdrawn from the
arms discussions, now proceeding
informally pending resumption OF
the formal parley in Geneva the
latter part of next month, and for
similar reasons. Washington has
let il be known that the United
States feels the present converse
tions are political rather thar
purely on world armaments-an"
that America therefore will re-
main aloof pending solution by
Europe of her own problems.
Meanwhile. it is increasingly
apparent that France is deter

hot PEPPER"
FILM AT APOLLO

-Four screen stars and a dancing
and singing chorus of beautiful
girls in settings that are reputed to
be the last word in lavishness are
featured in the Fox comedy, Hot
Pepper" depicting the most recent
adventures of the immortal Marines,
Flagg and Quirt, and appear
ing as the current attraction being
featured on the screen of the Apol-
10 during the current week, closing
Thursday next.
In this latest comedy, Quirt and
Flagg, remembered for their es-
capades in What Price Glory" and
The Cock-Eyed World" have cast
aside their uniforms and appear in
evening clothes. They battle for
the loves of women and live the life
of Reilly, so to speak, just as in
their former vehicles, only on a
more hilarious scale, according to
advance reports.
The two eX-marines become the
life of Broadway, rival night club
owners, and their cafes form the
background for the lively doing,
where women and song vie with
wine and money.
AS the story unfolds, Flagg dis
covers little stoWaway on one of
his rum ships. He attempts to send
her back to South America but she
puts up a fight that for action is
said to outrank anything displayed
on the screen in recent weeks.
The role is portrayed by Lupe
Felez. Flagg is really the favorite
OF the girl, Who has become a night
club entertainer, until the appear
ance of the Suave Quirt.
Then Quirt gets the girl and
Flagg the air. They battle mostly
for the affections of the little fire
brand who has become known as
Pepper.
Ell Brendel is seen in the comedy
role, while others appearing in the
cast are Lillian Bond, Gloria Roy
and Booth Howard Dudley Nichols
wrote the new story, but fully pre-
served the characteristics of Ouirt
and Flagg as originated by Laurence
Stallings and Maxwell Anderson.

"Of Thee I Sing" concerns itself
with many national follies, with
Washington and politics and po-
litical machinery as its target. Ac-
cording to the authors. the time has
come when the women voters want
"a perfect lover for President.
Who cares for such major prob
lens as unemployment and mora
forums? But to have a romantic
element, such a candidate must be
handsome and unmarried.
The very election depends upon
happy ending in his story. How,
they ask, is the. national committee
to find a wife? Why not an At
lantic City contest? So one is held,
and the prize beauty is chosen. But
it so happens that the hero falls in
love with another girl, and they
campaign together on a platform of
America Needs a Happy Ending"
Nothing is left unScathed, and the
torchlight professions, the informal
hotel room meeting ground of the
national committee, a political rally
in Madison Square Garden, the
pageant of the Inauguration, the
hectic life of the White House, the
inconsequential ramblings of the
senate, and the gullibility of the
American public are ridiculed.
The company, which presents the
musical satire to be seen in Indian
apolis, has been selected especially
for the cities west of New York.
It includes Oscar Shaw in the
role of "Wintergreen," candidate for
President; Harriette Lake, as the
candidates sweetheart; Donald
Meek, who runs for President;
Cecil Lean, Al Sexton, Paul Ever
