JAPAN WILL
TERM|NA TE
NAVAL PACT

TOXIC, Nov. "a. U.P) - Japan
will give formal notice OF termina-
tion of the Washington naval treaty
"before December 81" Eli Amau,
foreign offices spokesman, said to-
day in discussing naval affairs in
Toxic and London.
The exact date, however, has not
yet been determined, the SpokeS-
man said, but the notice "certain-
ly" will be filed before the agree
ment automatically reneWs itself
the last cay Of December.
Amau said Foreign Minister Koki
Hirotha, his superior, probably will
avoid stating Japan's reasons for
the treaty termination in address
ing the imperial diet in its special
session which begins next week
Amau confirmed London cables
that japanese delegates merely adj
mitted Britain S special Vulnerable
ity and had not conceded their
right to a larger navy at the par
leyS.
In his discourse on international
developments the official spokesman
touched briefly on reports that
political matters had entered the
London parley5, including reported
talk Of a pacific non-aggression
agreement.
Japan, he said, has neither off,
cred nor received proposals toward
such an agreement. Nor has the
question of China IS territorial in
tegrity arisen at London where rep
resentatives of the three great sea
powers are attempting to pave the
way for the big naval conference
| in 1895.

DOUG JR. STARS
 !. IN PRIzE-FlGHT FEATURE HERE
Splendid Cast Adds Lus. Ire to Life of Jimmy
 Dolan' at Capitol

'The Life of Jimmy Dolan,' starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre is down -to-earth yarn of prize fighters, farms and a hard-boiled boy who learns that there is satisfaction in doing some- thing for some one aside from himself. The picture is geared to an unusually fast pace and suffers no lapses of action or purpose.
 In the fine supporting cast are sub well known names as Loretta Young, Aline McMahon, Guy Kib- bee, Lyle Talbut and Eff Dorsay, all of whom give fine performances and add to the great entertain ment values of the picture.
 Doug. Jr., takes the role of Jimmy Dolan, who wins the light heavyweight boxing title and cele- brates with a wild party in his apartment. His philosophy of life revolves about the conception that man is sucker to do anything for any one other than himself.
 Through series of serious mis- haps, he finds himself with a price on his head at small western ranch where he meets Aline Mac Mahon and her niece, Miss Young, who are caring for four paralytic youngsters. He comes to love Lor-

CAME:RAMEN ARE STARRED IN AN EXCITING FILM
Newsreel Ph oto g raphers Are Heroes of Above
 the Clouds" Coliseum

If you like motion films packed with thrills, replete with TO- nance, crammed with death-defy- ing exploits, crowded with sensa- tional stunts that will keep you on the edge of your seat, don't miss Above the Clouds which opened at the Coliseum Theatre last night.
 Above the Clouds produced by Columbia studios. puts back the motion in motion pictures. It's a talking picture, of course, but evidently the director, Roy William Neill, recommended that action has it all over words any time. For things happen fast and furiously in Above the Clouds, so rapidly, in fact, that the audience last night was kept hopping from one breathtaking episode to another even more spectacular.
 Newsreel cameramen are the he roes of this picture. Just what happens when they are assigned to cover the events that make news is depicted in satisfying detail. Noth- ing is omitted, not even their means of creating news when none exist.
 Robert Armstrong, as the ace cameraman who lets his assistant take all the risks while he collects

This lad turns in one consistently fine performance after another And what risks he takes with life and limb in Above the Clouds!"
 Attractive Dorothy Wilson has the feminine lead. It's one of the best roles shes had yet, and she interprets it with simplicity and charm that should keep her in demand ;a Hollywood.

etta Young and when they are about to lose the ranch, flor want of a $2,eOO payment, Fairbanks goes into the ring to raise the money, in spite of the fact that the publicity is sure to mean dis aster to himself.
 The fighting sequences are crowded with punch, Aline Mac Mahon contributes the comedy in her own inimitable style and the youngsters add a lively, appealing touch to the story The Life of Jimmy Dolan' is crowded with fast action, clean romance and splendid acting. The plot is inter esting and leads up to a surpris- ing, but very human climax.

FROM SCHOOL
TAX BILL
Finance Committee Reports
Revised Measure to Vir-
ginia House
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR
Times Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 16.-Short
$4,000, the program of $875, 900
increased taxes sponsored by Gov
ernor George C. Peery in order to
carry out the minimum eight
months school term, came out of
the House Finance Committee
early today.
The cuts were $4,000 from the
merchants tax code by reducing
the proposed levy from Is to 13
cents per 500 sales, and exempt
ing power companies crossing less
than 100000 a year from the tax
rise, a saving to the companies of
$4,000. Other savings in the bill
as reported out totaled about
$4,000.
Tax Argued
The committee spent hours last
night fighting over the bill, much
Of the argument centering around
the income taX-called a salary
tax" by it's opponents.
The Senate yesterday amended
the liquor control bill to such an
extent that it will be mandatory
upon the State to distill liquors
in order to fight bootleggers and
whisky trusts.
BY putting the State in the dis
tillery business, Virginia would be
sowing the seeds of the greatest
crop of political corruption in the
commemorative history, Senator
T. Russell Gather, of Winchester,
said.
Declaring such an act would be
Socialism, he added:
"In it we should be abandon
ing the form of government
under which we have lived since
the establishment of the Re
public. For myself, I wish to
go on record forever as being
opposed to this sOcialistic pro-
poSal."
Aimed at Trust
The "socialistic" proposal was
aimed at hitting the bootleggers
and the distillery trust, and one
of the distilleries would have been
located near Winchester, where
surplus apples and peaches would
have been utilized in the manu-
facture of brandy.
AS the bill now reads, the man.
ufacture of liquor is optional with
the board.
