Between Picture Talk.
Between pictures she tells us that
her mother sends us her regards, that
she has just finished a new picture,
that she is very well and very happy
(there is a rumor afoot that she and
Make Baer will have a good deal to
say to each other shortly and that
we must come to dinner very soon.
All Of which makes us very happy.
Then we are off, because we have
received an S o from Maxine Doyle,
who is doing dance, or a song, or
something over on set No. 8.
When We get there Maxine is shak-
ing like a leaf. She is dressed in an
extremely becoming black and silver
masquerade costume and Is doing a
dance with Phil Regan in the middle
of q vast ball room. About 200 extras
are there in costumes which you can
remember having seen before in
Night Flight" and many a more
recent film. When the dance Is over,
Max runs over to us.
She says, Gee, I'm so scared"
Which apparently she is.
But in a minute Mr.. Regan has

Then we walk miles. We'd walk

She's way OF at the end of nowhere
with Otto Kruger and Madge Evans,
playing in a train which is at one
corner of the M-G-M lot. On our
way we pass the M-G-M zoo, and
Queenie and her brother, two Of the
chimpanzees that you saw in Tar
zan" We also pass reindeer and
other beasts and birds-and Ted
Healy, one Of the funnier funny men.
We haven't seen Miss Merkel since
she was in Washington two years ago.
And we are certain that We shall see
her again. Any one out here will tell
you that she is the most popular per-
son in pictures. We also meet Madge
Evans, as handsome as she is on the
screen.
There isn't time to say much more
than How have you been?" But ap-
parently Miss Merkel has been well.
We snatch another dinner invitation,
and that makes us happy again. Then
we must be off-at $50 Joan Craw-
fords car will be at the door. And
we shall see what we shall see-that

of a ruling by Controller General Nc
Carl.
McCarl held that the Government
could spend only 100000 of the SIS
000,00 item Mr.. Roosevelt allocated
for the project. The allotment was
made from the s525 900 900 drought
relief fund and McCarl ruled the
money-with exception of the million
was available only for immediate re-
lief purposes.
The only appeal from McCarls rul-
ings is to the Supreme Court or Con-
gress-
Forestry officials said they believed
the 81 900, 900 probably would provide
for all work feasible until next Spring,
when funds could be sought from
other sources. The proposed belt
would extend across the semi -arid
Midwest, from the Canadian border
to the Texas Panhandle.
McCarl made his ruling several
weeks ago, but it was not obtained un-
til last night.
Notwithstanding the ruling. F. A.
Silcox, chief forester of the Agricul-
ture Department, in charge of the
project. said he would go ahead "just

The views were made known today
developing from one Of the periodic

Acting on expressions embodied In
a questionnaire that went out to the
chamber membership, the board is
prepared to recommend that the pres
ent N. r. A. should be discarded, and
replaced by a new set-up that would
affect only those concerns competing
In interstate business, and would give
these an opportunity at self-regula-
ton.
The authority Of the Government
to impose codes would be revoked. an6
instead, business would write its own
codes, and ask Government approval
If this was lacking, the industry could
go without code, and subject itself
to the antitrust laws.
rnese codes would apply only to the
IS basic industries, which employ about
80 per cent of all workers. Price fixing
would not be inserted.
The contentious section Ia, on col

to provide that employers should deal

by labor without coercion either by the

The visiting prelate, who yesterday
celebrated the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of his Episcopal conservation by
saying mass at the Tomb of st. Peter
and receiving the fluctuations of Pope
Plus, said he did not discuss the cam
paign with the Pope.

producers a chance to see what they
can do" he declared. I'VE do not
want to put the movies out of busi-
ness"
The visiting prelate emphasized,
however, that there would be no truce
with indecency on the screen.
The cardinal said I'VE don't like the
Mae West type" Of picture.
I'VE do not ask the movie producer
to bring out the Pollyanna' type of
films" he added. 1.-The kind of film
in which Will Rogers, Janet Gaynor
and Victor Moore appear is what we
have in mind"
The report Cardinal Mundelein pre-
sented to Pope Plus that conditions
in the United States are improving
gradually greatly encouraged the
Pontiff. he said after his audience.

are "retarding employment and recov-

and to shape definite, early approach
to q balanced budget would improve
the general outlook and provide a
basis for o decided upturn In busi-
ness and employment"
Government credit rests upon this
foundation. the board emphasized.

called for support for the securities
