It must have surprised Miss
Bankhead, too, and grieved her.
Because people with the sense of
humor which she has would not
readily give in to such miscasting.
No matter what the roasting"

much they complained and
groaned, the studios wouldn't

with the whimsical Bob Mont

M.-G.-M.'S pet lions doing their
best for her, it seemed impossible
to get the right kind of vehicle
for her. She wilted just the same.
Tomorrow night she will pick
up her chin and walk with that

have been so fond of. Washing

The New York battery was

Giants in Practice
The New York Giants we're the
first to take their batting prac-
tice, and they were accorded
lusty ovation by the 80 per cent
home town audience which
grasped their first opportunity to
show their adulation and moral
support.
The outfield was cluttered with
fly-shaggers and Giant regulars
batted against the likes of Phil
Weintraub, an ineligible outfielder,
and Johnny Salveson, a second
string hurler.

the play, had by far the best for"

A 22-year-old ex-soldier, in
censed over his dismissal from
the army for Nazi activities,
shot and wounded Chancellor
Engelbert Dollfuss in an as
sassination attempt today.
The assailant was identified by
police as Rudolf Dertil. He
stepped up to DollfuSs as the
chancellor was leaving his car in
front of the Parliament building,
pretended to hand him a petition,
and then opened fire.
Dollfuss was wounded in the
chest and arm, but was able to

Believing his wounds were
superficial, Chancellor Dollfuss
called a special cabinet meeting
and prepared to preside over it.
But his injuries began to trouble
him more and he visited a clinic
for an X-ray examination.
Rib DETECTS Bullet
One shot passed through his
left upper arm and the other
struck him in the left side of the
breast, being deflected by a rib.
Major Emil Fey, vice chancellor,
presided over the cabinet session.
He was reported to have asked a
declaration of martial law to pre-
vent further outbursts of Nazi
eXtremism. Police were assigned
to guard Parliament and other
public buildings.
Among the first to congratulate
Dollfuss on his escape was Fey,
who with the chancellor, has been
most active in suppressing Nazi
agitation in this country.
Dollfuss swayed as the bullets
struck him and would have fallen
had it not been for the fact that
his adjutant, who was directly be-
hind him, caught the chancellor
IN his arms.
The assailant was overpowered
and hustled inside the building.
