INTIMATE GLIMPSES~ AND. INSIDE STUFF ON THE.
 MOVIE COLONY
BY DAN THOMAS

BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Ho1lywood-Joan Wheeler's life is wrapped up in her acting and all she wants to do, she says, is work and then work some more. Judging from the start she has made in the movies, she will have plenty of chance to do all the work she wants.
 Having been under contract to Warner Brothers for just a month, the black haired, brown-eyed ac- tress already has appeared in two films, "Hot Air and "Hit Me Again."
 Prior to her entrance into movieland, Joan appeared in sew eral plays at the Pasadena Com munity Playhouse. She attracted no attention from the cinema moguls, so she went to New York, got good role in Growing Palms." and as result signed her current movie contract.
 What will happen to her now only time will tell. However, my guess is that the name of Joan Wheeler will find its way into electric lights in the not distant future. Zasu Buys Cow
 If you ever decide that you would like to buy COW, just write to Zasu Pitts and she'll give you all the information you need for making a wise purchase. She got her information while trying to buy a COW for her children. After looking around for several days without results, Zasu put an ad in the local papers.
 The very next day there was line of cows a block long at her home. Yes, she bought one.
 
 Kids Demand Shorts
 Producers of short subjects can thank the youngsters of the na- tion for an ever-increasing demand for \their films. in the opinion of LarfW Darmour. producer of the Mickey Mcclure comedies.
 "IA my seven years of produc- ing, never before have seen so greatl a demand for short come dies As there is right now" Dar- mour declares, "Of course, this is due largely to the kids. The featu}e pictures made today are not of particular interest to them. So toI get the kid business, thea ter oEners must fill in with short subjefts.

 Free From Exams
 Found, at last, an actor honest in his reason for choosing his pro- fession. This unusual man is Hugh Williams, English stage and screen star, recently brought to Hollywood by Fox. Williams acing career started during his school days be- cause of his dislike of examina- tions. He left Hailleybury college because he couldn't stand the writ ten exams.
 Then he learned that the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in Lon don didn't give examinations. So he enrolled. And he's acting still.

Ready for the Next

With shooting on "The Catspaw" practically completed. H r o d Lloyd is making definite plans for production of another picture this year. After two years of idleness, he feels that two films this year will be none too many.
 "The Catspaw," by the way, will be different from any of the pre- vious Lloyd pictures, in that all the comedy comes from story situa tions, rather than gags such as he has been accustomed to using. And unless I miss my guess, it will be one of his funniest in years.

 OPPOSE CODE
Reorganization of Bureau of Mines Is Also Asked
 at Denver Session

DENVER, Colorado, May 19.-Al- though no official action has been taken as yet, delegates to the Gold Mining Association of Amer ica expressed themselves as op- posed to the adoption of code for the gold mining industry.
 Charles H. Segerstrom, Of Son. ora, Cal, Chairman of the Code Committee, said the body will give careful study to all code proposals but felt the report will be against a code.
 Apart from the code proposition, the most controversial question in jected in the convention was the resolution calling for a complete recognizing and rehabilitating of the United States Bureau of Mines.
 Carl J. Trauerman, of Butte, President of the Montana Mining Association, wanted to see the bureau replaced by the Depart ment of Mines for Good Mining in the United States" He declared a Western man, who knows his stuff, should be placed at it's head.

Republicans Up Agoinst Hard Proposition; Look for Moses
 to Lead Them Any Old Place
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

It seems very doubtful whether the Republican National Commit tee will attempt any real solution of it's problems at it's June meet ing in Chicago.
 A new Chairman, or at least an acting one, will be chosen, but he is likely to be only a stop-gap. It is obvious the Party is not yet ready to decide which way it is going, and consequently does not know what kind of pilot it will need.
 Whoever takes the helm in the interim will be expected to do two things, primarily:
 First of all, raise some money, somehow, to meet the party defic- it. Second, walk softly enough so that no element of the Party, even the large group of Republican Con gressmen who voted for the Roose- velt program, can possibly take of fense.
 What the eminent members of the committee will look for at Chi cago is not general, but an am- bassador.
 They will settle on someone who has entree to those elite circles where big campaign contributions are supposed to grow on trees, but who also can pacify and mollify the left wingers who want to go out and collect votes by denounc- ing Wall Street.
 The time for the general will come later, provided the ambassa- dor does his work well enough

STA BILIzATION
 FUND HAS BEEN
 QUIETLY SET UP
Two Billion Dollars, Pro- vided for by Congress,
 Aiding Government
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, May 19- The manner in which the Treasury set up it's two billion dollar ''stabili- zation fund'-authorized thre e months ago by Congress-even sur passed what Administration offi- cials have said all along might be expected.
 Houdini in his heyday couldn't have done a better job of keeping 'em guessing than have Treasury officials. None but those in the inner salctum know yet what has happened.
 When Congress passed the gold reserve act on January 30, setting up this fund, it became one of the most discussed topics in Washing ton.
 For weeks speculation concerning it's operation appeared on the front pages. and weeks after that mention of it could be found in the news papers. Then it suddenly vanished.
 At press conferences with Presi dent Roosevelt and Secretary Nor genthau the subject was tabu Ques- tions at first were politely disre- garded with wave of the hand then ignored.
