Miss Florence Reber has been clerk
of the senate finance committee since

served in a like capacity for the ap-

know as much about the states fl

positions. They are as popular as they
are efficient, and where politics runs
rampant, they hold their positions
strictly on merit.

John Barrymore Heads Stellar
Cast in might Flight

might Flight" a perturbation
of brilliant incident in the his
tory of South American aviation,
blazes the trail of European mail
connection at great hazard in or
der that some vacationist in Paris
may receive that long desired
check on Tuesday instead Of
Thursday.
X. The incident related is the In
auguration of night flights across
the Andes from Santiago in Chile
to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil; flying
at great personal risk, combating
mountainous snow peaks, treach-
erous air currents, great banks of
dense fog, strong winds blowing
out to sea.
Tragedy marked the first at
tempt of getting the mail plane
through on schedule; a hard, de-
termined man is general manager
of this enterprise which bids fair
to make aviation history.
1t is an effort to pay tribute
to those heroes of the air, routine
fliers who take their orders with
out thought of dispute and fly
their planes with a dauntleSs
courage.
A long list Of names make up
the roster of this film: John and
Lionel Barrymore head the cast
as general manager and inspector,
respectively, of the airport; Helen
Hayes as the wife of Clark Gable,
pilot, has one dramatic scene in
which she denounceS the business
interests which demand night fly
ing.
Robert Montgomery plays an
other intrepid pilot; Bill Gargan
Is flattered into accomplishing
brilliant bit of air work; Myrna
10y is Bills wife. C. Henry
Gordon, of menacing countenance,
demands that the younger Barry
more forget his idea of catch
ing the mail boat by use of these
night flights and is defied.
There is plenty of action, but
little story value; the episodes
are connected by John Barry

relief map of South America:
Clarence Brown is credited with
direction, but what glory there
is should be directed toward the
cameraman who has caught some
gorgeous bits of moonlit seem
ery-land, sky and seascape.
Short subjects include a Char
ley Chase comedy, an M-G-M
Oddity featuring our feathered
friends, and a Hearst Metrotone

the horrors of civil war in Cuba
to the smartly marching veterans

Juvenile Actors
Are Stars Of
Earle Film

Warner Brothers find inspira-
ton for many screen stories in
the newspaper headlines. The
latest current news topic to pro-
vide the theme for a film is seen
in "Wild Boys of the Road" the
attraction at the Earle.
A cast of juvenile players enact
the distressing tale. 1t is by their
adept characterizationS that en-
tertainment may be found in a
picture which tells Of the horrible
plight Of thousands Of adde's
cents.
If, as the producers claim. the
facts presented are true, it is a
situation which shrieks for i'm
provement. The heroes in this
particular instance have parents
whom the depression has robbed
of jobs. Believing themselves to
be an unnecessary burden, they
set out to make their own living.
Travelling on freight trains,
encountering the police at every
turn, they soon realize the fulfill
ity of their quest. They are
joined by a girl, in similar cir
cumstances. Finally, the group
grows into a miniature army,
warning on law and order and
panhandling to get food. In New
York, the original pair are ar
rested, and a kind judge who
hears their case promises a
change of luck for them.
frankie Darro, Dorothy Coonan
and Edwin Phillips have the i'm
portant roles. Darro, for whom
a great future is foreshadowed,
reveals sterling ability, and fine
performances are also turned in
by the other two.

INTANGIBLE TAX
R|SEFOR D. c.
DOOMED
Single Objection in House Will
Strike it From Supply
Bill After Ruling

Death of the proposal in the
District supply bill to increase the
intangible property tax from SIS
to Sc per thousand to care for un-
employment relief was forecast
today when the House Rules Com
mittee made an adverse report on
a resolution requesting that the
provision be decreed an order.
The action of the rules COM
mittee means that anyone can
object to consideration of this
provision when it comes to a vote
in the House. This automatically
will strike it from the bill.
The rules committee was asked
to make a ruling by the House
Appropriations Committee after
Representative Will. r. Wood (R.)
of Indiana, former chairman of
the appropriations committee, had
asked that it be stricken from the
bill before it was reported to the
House.
Wood said the tax should be
general and argued that the
commissioners could assess the
tax on intangibles without addi-
tional legislation if it was de-
sired to put the burden there.
This was denied by Mapes, who
as head of the special House
committee made an exhaustive
investigation of the District gov
ernment two years ago.
Much criticism was directed at
the Community Chest and pri-
vate organizations affiliated with
it and Representative Smith de-
clared that the House District
Committee, of which he is a.
member, should be permitted to
pass on the necessity for an in
creased tax before any action
was taken on it.
