ernment in Case Of Ha.
waiian Growers.

Justice Jennings Bailey yesterday de-
MED motion by the Government to
dismiss a suit brought by Hawaiian
sugar growers to prevent enforcement
Of the Jones' Costiean act, which fixes
quotas for the importation of sugar.

for the plaintiffs began introducing
testimony which they contend shows
their plans were Disseminated against
by the quotas and upon which they
base their claim for an injunction.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
yesterday objected to the introduction
of records upon which the Depart

would touch on international rela-
tionships," and indicated the belief

crooner's platform, called Freddie
Clark to the piano, climbed over into
the orchestra pit and lifted a little
girl from the front row, and then told
all of them what he wanted them
to do.

ITO JACK BENNY, Radio Stars
i magazine has given its award for
distinguished service to radio.
In awarding the honor Curtis
Mitchell, editor of the publication,
said:
THE Summer of 1884 will be re-
membered in radio history. 1t used to
be that Summer was a topSy-turvy
period Of network experiments. AS a
result, we listeners did our radio shop
ping in a catch-as-can manner and
defied the loud-speaker to amuSe us.
During the Summer of 1884, his
tory will recall, the loud-speakers did
amuse us. For which we give thanks
to as deft a comedian as the business
Of broadcasting has produced. That
comedian is Jack Benny.
Two years ago Jack Benny was the
most worried man on Broadway. One
of the last of the canyons top-hole

himself faced with the job of creating
a completely new air show each week.
He admitted frankly to all who were
interested that he did not see how he
could possibly last more than month.
That was two years ago.
Most of the weeks since then Jack
Benny has been on the air with the
sort of clean, canny comedy America
prefers. He has evolved and perfected
his suave method of delivery until he
stands alone. Unlike other comedians,
he never forces his fun. One rarely
hears the laugh but laugh and
you laugh, which is the important
thing to us"

FATHER FORCED
To AID GIRL i:

An estranged father must sup.
port his daughter until she
reaches the age of 81 in accord
ance with the old common law
rule, the District Court of Appeals
today ruled.
The decision was handed down
in the case of Mrs. BERTHE p.
Jones against her divorced hus-
band, William r. Jones. The wife
was represented by Attorneys
Raymond Neudecker and Jean M.
Boardman. The wife set forth
in her petition that Mr.. Jones
ceased making payments to his
daughter after she reached the
age of 10.
The higher court held that in
several instances the common law
rule as to the age of majority
had been relaxed, but the age
requiring support from a father
still stands at 81. Among the re-
1axed rules is the right Of a girl
at Is to contract marriage.
