affect him, must ob&ess him, !
thought, for him TO make a speech
70 us three. Somebody-I cannot re-
collect who - made some remarks
pleading "extenuating circumstances
for many Of the characteristics pres
ent in art and cultural life, explain
ing them by the situation at the time.
Lenin replied:
Il knowl Many people are honestly
convinced that the difficulties and
dangers of the moment can be over
come by bread and cheese Bread
certainly Circuses-all right! But
we must not forget that the circus
is not q great, true art. but a more
or less pretty entertainment. Do not
let us forget that our workers and
peasants are no Roman mob. They
are not maintained by the state. they
maintain the state by their work.
They made the revolution and de-
Tended their work with unexampled
sacrifices, with streams Of blood. Our
workers and peasants truly deserve
more than circuses. They have the
right to true, great art. So, before
everything else, wide popular educa-
ton and instruction. They are the
cultural soil-assuming the bread as
sured-on which Truly new, great
art will grow up, a Communist art,
arranging its forms in accordance
with its content. Our 'intellectuals'
are faced with stupendous and most
worthy tasks To understand and full
fill those tasks would be tribute to
the proletsrian revolution. for open
ing wide to them, too, the door that
leads to freedom, away from the
wretched plight Of their old condi-
tons Of life, characterized so in
comparsbly in the Communist Ma
nifesto."
THAT night--it had grown late-we
4 spoke of many things. But every
thing else has faded from my memory
except Lenins remarks on art, cul-
ture, popular education and instruc-
ton. AS, in the cool night, walked
to my home, thought how sincerely,
how warmly he loved the working
people. And there are people who
think this man a cold intellectual
machine, a rigid fanatic, recognizing
human beings only in their Historical
categories," counting them and play
ing with them, unfeelingly, as though
they were skittles.

I am resignsng from the American Legion
It reminds me Of dog used to have
That picked up toads in her mouth
And was sick Of the yellow acid in their GLANDS
But did it again and again. the dumb fool
And the more misery and famine and bunk
The more the Legion seems to like it
But am not dog and can understand
That now is the time to end capitalism.

We swore to end the worlds poverty
Brave comrades seen to weep

At Kingman, Ariz.

KINGMAN, Ariz., Jan. 16
GN.SO Continuing their mys-
terry trip westward, Greta Carlo,
film star, and Reuben Mamoulian,
director, were registered today at
the Beale Hotel here.
They were identified by Mrs.
Ella Hall, proprietor of the hotel.
who said the couple had arrived
''some time during the night from
Grand Canyon, were very tired,
registered separately and retired. -
The couple registered, Mrs. Hall
said, as "R. Brown" and miss
Brown" Of New York City.
Miss Carlo and Mamoulian were
still in their rooms at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning I'M. S. To, Mrs. Hall
said, and left no word they wanted
to be disturbed.
She refused to call the rooms by
telephone. She said:
"They didn't have anything to
say about reports that they were
married or about to be married.
To me they were just good
looking couple on q motor trip"
Hotel attaches noted the negro
chauffeur had arisen early today,
however, to fill the automobile
with gasoline and oil, indicating
the westward flight of Miss Carlo
and Mamoulian would be con-
tinued at once.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 16 O.N 81.
Marriage proposals to movie stars
dropped off when the postage rate
went up a cent, but the favoriteS
still could take the VOWS several
times a week if they wished to.
The seasons nerviest PROPOSE
tion was received last week by Ann
Harding. A man in the East
wrote suggesting that she employ
him as q husband for five years
at a salary Of $4,000 a year. If
she still liked him at the end Of
that time, he was willing to let
her exercise an option for another
five years, but at an increased
salary.
Katherine Hepburn, one Of the
bright new luminaries, averages
two proposals a day.
Frances Dee got a proposal five
days after she and Joel McCrea
were married, but this fan sent
another letter poSt-haste apollo
giZing.
And the greatest record. of
course, was made by Dick Powell
after a fan magazine had printed
a story describing his deal girl.
In two weeks Dick received 40
proposals Of marriage.

Gerwitts said he gave the man
a room on the second floor and
the woman one on the fourth. He
continued:
"a short time later she came

"'And your friend?' went on.
He's Reuben MamOulian, the

and said, ask him and See.'
Later 1 buttOnholed the
man and asked him. He acted
kind of tough. He looked me
up and down and said, you
never can tell in these desert
mirageS.'
GerWitts laughed over the tele-
phone as he told how Garbo and
Mamoulian acted toward each
other.
He continued:
"Greta wouldn't let him do
a thing. Shed pour his tea
and pass him his dishes and
whisper soft and low. Between
courses they'd hold hands
under the table and look at
each other.
81 asked Miss GarbO why
they were wearing skiing out
fits. She said they expected
to find some winter sports
somewhere in the Grand Can
yOn."
Meanwhile, the rumor that
Miss Garbo and Mamoulian had
married was strengthened today
by reports that they had reg
iStered at the FL Tovar Hotel in
Grand Canyon, Ariz.

Investigation revealed that no
marriage license had been issued

that the State organization,

Maintenance of a hidden

serted.
The concealed profits from
loans to insurance companies and
other concerns, amounting to
5000, 900 were used as capital for
the new bank, according to the
witness.
There were other offshoots of
the Union Trust Company. in
cluding the Union Title & Guar

Stract business, Blair testified.
Eventually the Union Trust
Company was absorbed or merged
into the Guardian-Detroit Union
Group, Inc, of which Blair be-
came chairman of the board.
Grew to S5,OOO,OOO
During the life of Blair's bank,
its capital stock grew from $780,.
600 to $4,000, 900, according to the
witness.
Curiously, the capital stock Of
the company was doubled to S.
100000 only few months before
the stock market crash of 1929.
The witness later said the first
offshoot, dealt in second mort
cages and land contracts, in ad-
dition to insurance loans.
Blair also admitted that the
bank commissioner had objected
to maintenance of insufficient
reserve on class B accounts of
the parent company.

Pointing out some of the evils
Washington could expect from a
dispensary system, he said today:
'Under the sO-called dlspen.
sary system there is no limit to
what a man can buy. Further
more, it drives drinking out
Of the open.
'T have always been . wet,
but I have also advocated tenn

ti0n.
'Let us give liquor to people
In the open and let police regu-
late it. Let us say to the man

pays 500 or $1,OOO for q license,
we will take your license away

THAT would mean temper

solution of the Lindbergh kidnap-
ing case, which led to the inter
vention Of Federal authorities in
an effort to curb this new crime
menace, was forecast today by Jo-
seph B. keenan,, Assistant Attor-
ney General, in charge of the
Governments war~on "SnatcherS. Z"
While keenan, said he was un-
able to reveal along what lines
the investigation was proceeding,
he declared progress was being
made and was "very hopeful"
something would break soon. So
far the Government has solved
every major kidnapping case since
the famous flier'S baby son was
spirited from his cradle early in
1891.

NEW FIRE COURT
RECOMMENDED

Creation of q new trial board
for members of the District fire
department IS recommended by
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Edward W. Thomas in a report
submitted to the District Com
miSsionerS.
Melvin c. Hazen, president Of
the Board Of Commissioners, had
the report before the board at
today's meeting, but it Is ex'
pected that no action would be
taken until a further study Of it
can be made.
Instead of . trial board con-
sisting of high officials of the
fire department, Thomas recon-.
mended that a board be com.
prised of three captains. He also
asked that the Commissioners
consider creation Of a board in
the near future Of three captains,
an assistant corporation counsel
and q junior member Of the de-
partment.
Adoption of a rule whereby
extra hours of duty without pay
would be given as punishment

their nickels or dimes to get It
and 20 back In the alley or into
some dark back room TO drink
it. The dispenSary plan would
lead to that, and we don't
want it."
Prohibition repeal in the Dis
trict will fail in its aim to con-
tribute to the general business re-
covery if the dispensary system is
adopted, according to merchants
and real estate owners.
John Loughran, of the cigar firm
Of Daniel Loughran Co., said:
81 am not only q cigar dealer,
but q real estate owner. The
liquor dispensing business should
be widely distributed in order
that citizens of the District,
rather than q monopoly, should
share in its profits.
BOON TO REAL ESTATE
'Under the licensing system,
vacant buildings will be once
again occupied and business, in
all its phases will benefit"
A similar reflection is seen in
the opinion of William B. O'Con-
nell, well-known Washington at
torney, who said:
'T am in favor of supervision
rather than regulation.
"By this / mean that bar
rooms, properly supervised,
should have been permitted, but
in no event should the District
people be Saddled with the dis
penSary system.
FAILURE EVERYWHERE
"The system has failed every
where it has been tried and
could never be effective in the
District. Under the dispensary
system, business will not gen.
orally benefit, as repeal was in
tended to benefit it, because the
latter system will tend to con-
centrate activity in only few
locations, while the licensing
system will extend its benefits
just as u new enterprise natur-
ally would do"
Representative Florence P. Kahn
(R.) of California opposes the dis
pensary plan on grounds it would
lead to more, rather than less,
drinking She said:
"If q man wanted. q drink un-
der the diSpensary system he
would have to buy q whole bot
tie and that would result in q
lamentable condition.
"SPEAKIES" TO THRIVE
1--WE want to do away with
illegal drinking but speakeasies
would continue to .nrive under
the diSpenSary plan and result
in an increase, rather than q de-
crease of drinking"
The same opinion is shared by
Representative Charles L. Clifford
(R0 Of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Gif-
ford voted for he Commissioners
bill and its licensing system pro-
vision because, he explains:
II want that method adopted
which will bring us law and or.
der and do away with bootleg
ging."

Coolidge Gives Support
To Liquor License Plan

Senator Marcus A. Coolidge
O0, of Massachusetts,, gave hi:
support to the liquor license bill
today on the ground that the
combined judgment Of the Dis
trict C ON m S S ONE and the
House and Senate District Com
mittees convinces him of the worth
Of the private sale system. The
Senator stated:
81 have not studied the two
plans sufficiently to be COM
mitted to either of them. I feel
however, that the District Com
missiOners and the members Of
the House and Senate District
Committees have given it con-
siderable study.
"On the basis Of their delib-
eratiOnS, I shall follow their
bill when the question comes
to q vote in the Senate"
BuIOw Backs Licenses
Joining the advocates of a pri
vate licensing system is Senator
William j. Bulow CD of South
Dakota, who said:
II would make liquor as free
rs water. Therefore would be
inclined to vote with the COM
mittee."
Explaining that he is a "dry,'
Senator Simeon F'eSs (R.) Of
Ohio, said that since liquor is
to be made available he thought
proper safeguards should be put
around it's control. He said for
this reason he is opposed to the
proposed dispensary system of
distribution.
Senator Pat Harrison (DO, oi
Mississippi, one of the Senate:
leaders, said he would follow the
committee recommendations, since
they came from persons who haC
given the matter thorough study
Although not definite in stating
how he will vote, Senator DAME
O. Hastings (R0,, of Delaware, as
serted he "apt to go along with
committee.
Hatch 70 Back B1u
Senator Karl A. Hatch CD, oi
New Mexico, said his present in
tention is to vote for the PROPOSE
ton recommended by the CommiS-
sioners, the House and Senate Dis
trict committees.
Senator Fred Van Nuys CD OF
Indiana, said:
Il believe that the license
system as advocated by the Dis
trict Committee is preferable to
the dispenSary system, and shall
support the committee report
when the question comes to q
vote in the Senate"
Senator Hubert D. Stevens CD
Of Mississippi, said:
"After making q study Of the
situation here, / have come to
the conclusion that the private
license system is the best
method of handling the sale Of
liquor in the District, and I shall
support the District Committees
bill"
Senator Ebert D. Thomas (D)
Of Utah, said:
"The private license system
will work far better than the
dispensary system, in my
opinion, and I shall vote for
that system, as recommended
by the District Committee"
