Jimmie Durante is glad he's got what the world would call crazy out look on life especially since hes got the physiognomy that goes with it.
 The one and only 'Schnozzle' (write to the Federal Copyright offices in Washington, D. C., if you don't believe it) whose quaint sing ing voice and idiotic sense of hu. nor reach their zenith in Reli- ance's "Palooka," the Harry M. Goetz-Edward Small all-star com edy production comes at the Gar den theater to-mororw and We'd nesday with Lupe Velez. Stuart Er- win. Marjorie Rambeau, Robert Armstrong, Mary Carlisle. William Cagney. Thelma Todd and Gus Arnheim and his orchestra sharing chief honors. was born on the lower East Side one February 18th.
 He admits he acquired his early education in poolrooms, corner ci- gar stands and back alleys. He harmonized in amateur quartets in Bowery saloons, flirted with the idea idea of becoming policeman like his brother and finally took up photo-engraving.
 But singing was on his mind. Tn the course of adventuring about in Brooklyn ,bere halls and an oc- casional church charity benefit, he teamed up with Lou Clayton and Eddie Jackson. forming the fa- nous team of Clayton, Jackson and Durante.
 The first thing that made Amer ica really Durante-conscious was his recording of "So I>Ups to Him!" After being featured with his part ners in Show Girl" and "The New Workers" he played his first screen role in "Roadhouse Nifhts".
 The companion featur will be Glamour" while essentially q drama. features the glorious voice of Phillip Reed in several songs, and affords a glimpse of the back stage life of it's principal charac- ters. The picture was directed by William Wyler, and other import ant roles in support of Miss Cum- mings and Lukas are played by Doris Lloyd. Joseph Cawthorn and other well known screen artists.

4IOAI T d6C 1sI cause of failure to appropriate ad- ditional funds for it's continuation beyond January l. In my opinion it is essential that world govern ments learn what goes on behind the scenes in the munitions busi- ness.
 It is my hope, and I think I ex- press the sentiment of a majority o fthe committee, that this inquiry will result in action by other na- tions, either individually or collec- lively, to remove rottenness from the business of manufacturing arms and munitions.
 Evidence brought to light by committee investigators has pro- vided strong argument for pas sage of legislation early in the com ing congress for federal control of the munitions industry.
 I intend personally to offer leg islation to permit government mon- opoly of the arms business. In my opinion that is the only effective way to end corruptive methods now employed by a majority in the in- dustry.
 We have had teStlmony that bribery, in the form of special commissions paid to high officials of foreign governments, was prac- ticed widely by American arms salesmen in their search for mar, kets for their goods. We have heard that munitions makers en- courage revolutions and lobbied ex- tensively in Washington to discour- age passage by congress of laws that would hurt their sales.
 Now we are about to draw broader picture of international ramifications of the arms traffic. We want to know whether muni- tions manufacturers in their fran tic search for profits, have ham, pered efforts by statesmen to as- sure the world of prolonged peace.
 Tomorrow the committee will call representatives of the Reming- ton, Winchester, and Colts arms companies, as we'll as high officials of the E. l. Du Pont De Nemours company of Delaware. Hearings will continue until December 21, and the committee hopes to have a preliminary report ready when the senate convenes on January 3.

(COntlnued rom Page l. night of September IA. The death weapon has not been found, despite a search unparalleled in this sec- tion of New England.
 At the conclusion of the inquest, expected to last from two days to a week, Judge Hayes may do any one of three things:
 l. Refer the case to the grand jury without comment.
 2. Hold a suspect for probable cause for the grand jury.
 8. Find that Rev Speer died al the hands of a person or persons unknown and leave the case to po- lice for further investigation.
 Those To Testify
 Those ready to testify as the inquest opened included: MT and Mrs Constantine George, the latter a maid in the Speer home; Francis Bayley, member of the Mount Yer non faculty; Adam Wolskill, Green field newspaper correspondent who found shotgun wads at the scene of crime; F. Deane Avery, Greenfield civil engineer who prepared maps of the campus; Willett Forbes, Greenfield photographer who took pictures of the interior of the Speer study; M. David Birdsall, purchasing agent for Mount Her mon; the Rev Robert Russell of Larchmont, N. Y., close friend of the victim and summer resident of Northfield; and Albert Roberts, ex- ecutive secretary of the Northfield school, including both Mount Her. mon and Northfield seminary.
 Three state troopers also were ready to testify, Norman Peltier, Joseph Heating and Richard Hil- Ter. They were among the first to reach the scene of the shooting.
 In Jury Chamber
 In the grand jury chamber, scene of the inquest, besides Judge Hayes, were Captain John F. Stokes, Lieutenant Joseph l.. Fer rari and Lieutenant Richard Cot ter, state detectives; District At torney Bartlett, District Attorney elect David H. Needy of Amherst, Richard Maher. private detective representing the Northfield schools who has cooperated with state sleuths in the investigation, and a court stenographer.
 Witnesses were warned not to talk to reporters after leaving the inquest.
 Argues for Secrecy
 Tn arguing for a secret inquest, District Attorney Bartlett said:
 Many of the same reasons which make a grand jury hearing private apply here. There is also the additional reason that should evidence at this inquiry point to any individual, that individual. iE case the inquiry were public, would have an opportunity to frame a defense or even to abscond.
 q have a strong feeling that if a witness knew that his testimony would be madep ublic he would not be so free in relating what he knows of the case. think it is essential that no witness testify in the presence of any other witness, and that the witnesses ~be kept apart. Where no arrest has been made the same reason why grand jury proceedings are private ap- plies here.'
 Avery First Called
 Avery, the civil engineer, was the first witness called at the in- quest, Forbes, the photographers; Bayley, the faculty member; Law. renee Daggett and R. D. Merriam, French instructors at Mount Her. mon, followed in that order.
