BORAH'S CRITICISM
SCORED BY REQUA
California Committeeman Says
Request for Helpful Sugges.
lions Unproductive.
By the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, December s.
Mark L. Requa, Republican national
committeeman for California and
close political associate of former
President Herbert Hoover, took issue
yesterday with Senator William
Borahs proposal for reorganization
of the party.
THE Senator" said Requa in a
statement, has not hesitated to voice
violent criticism, but has been elo-
quently silent when asked for helpful
suggestions.
Requa stated that he had visited
Senator Borah in Idaho to seek advice
concerning the committees program.
Henry Fletcher, chairman of the
committee" Requa added, directly
and through me sought suggestions
from Senator Borah, all without any
success whatever.
Il know many members of the Re-
publican National Committee who are
just as fine characters, just as fine
Americans, just as well fitted to act
as members of the National Commit
tee as any Senator Borah could pos
sibly name as substitutes. So far as
I know them, however they refuse to
become hysterical, or to attempt to
delude the people by proposing plans
that are impossible of accomplish
ment.''

POLI'S

Throngs such as have never be- fore been seen in any local theater crowded Polls for the past two days to see the great combination of a stage and screen show that it now current there composed on the stage of Jimmie Hodges Miami Nights, the greatest stage show in this town for years with the fastest entertainers composed of 50 singers, dancers and comedians and then for good measure there is Joe Barton and his Melody Mas ters,. a group of 16 musicians, each and every one an artist on their instruments, and doubling for as many more. On the screen a timely picture, "Gridiron Flash",. the tale of col lege football and of how rough neck gets mixed up in it, proves to be very interesting and enter taining feature with load of com edy interspersed throughout it, makes for fine picture. Selected shorts, the kind that you find only at Polls make the dessert on> a marvellous stage and screen bill of fare.
 Starting Wednesday for days, another of the superlative Poli double feature programs will be on tap and this one will be no ex- ception to the rule of them being the best that there is to be had. The first feature will introduce Jackie Cooper in the novel with which we are all familiar and also one that will go on forever, "Peck's Bad Boy". With this talented ju- venile in the leading role and with the capable support of Thomas Meighan as his father, O. P. Heg- gie and Jackie Searles, another masterpiece has been brought to the screen.
 The second feature is '.Take the Stand. one of those tales of the columnist who sees all and tells all, and in the leading roles of this picture will be found Jack La Rue and Thelma Todd. You will like very much "Take the Stand" and in fact the entire program as it will be one in which there really are two good pictures.
 Many treats are in store for the patrons of Polls and among some of them are George Arliss in "The Last Gentleman" theh king and queen of carioca. Frsd Astaire and Ginger Rogers in '"The Gay Di- vorcee," Greta Garbo in 'The Painted Veil'', Zasu Pitts and W. c. Fields in "Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" and others of this caliber.

It will back up water to Wilson Dam, covering the shoals, making the river navigable from Guntersville to the mouth, 368 miles.
