FIGHT IS BEGUN
FOR D. c. MILK
PRICE CUT

Cooperation Of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration will
be sought in forcing a 2-cent re-
duction per quart in the price Of
local milk, Mrs. John Boyle, jr.,
chairman of the washington Con-
sumers Council, stated yesterday
at a meeting Of the National Milk
Survey Committee.
National surveys show that chill
dren do not get enough milk, and
the organization will present plans
to the AAA for a general reduc-
ton in milk prices.
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, president
of the Federation Of Women's
Clubs in the District, said that
lower prices should not be OBJ
tanned at the cost of reduced
quality.
The survey committee repre-
sented SO cities where women
organizations have made studies
of the milk problems, and
authorized their delegates to act
in the interests of their section.
A permanent agency was formed
at the meeting to direct the fight
for lower prices. The committee
is headed by DR.. Kathryn McHale,
of the American Association Of
University Women, and includes
Mrs. Josephine Junkin Doggett,
of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, and Miss Edith
lockwood, of the National League
of Women Voters.

The Washington times., 1934-05-29
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

In these days man is the pur-
sued. All the eligible male has to
do is stand still, the girls will do
the rest. So remarks that Billy
Wells in "Jimmie's Women" and
the action Of that rollicking farce
bears out the observation.
The National Players froliced
through this Myron C.. Pagan
comedy with merry abandon last
night, giving due point to the
prankS that appear slightly
naughty and extracting uproar-
ious laughs at the expense Of
matchmaking females.
"Jimmie's Women" is frothy
piece of fun built on a flimsy
structure of mistaken identity
and mixing in a familiar but sure
fire blend of silk pajamas and in
viting beds. It is not as meretri-
cious as it sounds but it is gen
timely comical in some. Of the
carefully planted confusion and
sly insinuationS.
Much Excitement
Jimmy Turner happens to be
very eligible. He has looks and
social position and a bag Of gold
bequeathed by his fathers will.
There are certain legal require"
ments he must fulfill before he
can acquire the legacy. Naturally
the girls make eyes at Jimmy. He
makes eyes back, but not too ser
iously. When his aunt picks out
the ingenue she thinks Jimmy
should take as his wife there is a
slight rebellion. For Jimmy has
plans of his own as to matrimony.
For four acts Jimmy is in whirl-
pool of excitement until the neces-
sary explanations bring order out
of this romantic chaos.
Roy Roberts is Jimmy and
Ruth Abbott is the girl who
finally finds a safe haven in his
arms. They comprise an excel
lent romantic team with the
blonde leading lady being served
much the best by the playwright's
lines. Miss Abbott Is both blithe
and sprightly in this charade,
playing with sufficient dignity
and circumspect behavior as to
be finally accepted credibly for
Back Bay StandiSh.
Most Of the noisy laughter in
The Washington times., 1934-05-29

After reading Clarence Dar-
rows report on the N. r. A., I
am convinced that he still be-
lieves in the theory of evolution.
-. He certainly tried to make o
monkey out of the Blue Eagle.
It looks like the AdminiStra-
tiOn made a mistake by putting
him ON this job. MIR. DarrOw
is at his best, "When a felOn
needs q friend"
The famous lawyer never be-
neved in capital punishment un-
til he had spent a few weeks in
Washington.
But guess it takes a criminal
lawyer to distinguish the poll
ticianS from the other crooks.
So Remember:
Mr.. DarrOw says that business
is so bad, that even the liars are
complaining.
The Washington times., 1934-05-29
Marion Davies Is
Star Of Chambers
Spy Story

Interest in spies never wanes.
They are the true, reckless and
fearless adventures Of wartime
days, and the Civil War produced
some famous Secret Service oper-
ators whose daring exploits have
made military history. Combin-
ing fact and fiction, Robert w.
Chambers wrote the great spy
story, Operator 49," first pub
lished in Cosmopolitan Magazine
in serial form, in later Hearst
newspapers and recently in book
form. Cosmopolitan Productions
promptly accepted it as fitting
vehicle for the versatile Marion
Davies.
Operator 10" gives Miss Davies
one of the most colorful and
dramatic roles Of her career-a
fictional woman Federal spy, Gail
Loveless, who had left the stage
of a Washington theater to pene-
trate the Confederate lines.
Gary Cooper plays an imaginary
character, Capt. Jack Gailliard, a
Confederate scout, though, If the
role was based upon history, he
might resemble one Of the fearless
scouts Of Col. Jeb Stuart'S cavalry.
The action Of the picture takes
place during the early years of
the war, when the Southern
armies were proving more victori-
GUS and at a time when they were
within a stones throw of the ma
tional Capital at Washington.
For the settings Of the picture,
many places historical in the war
of the rebellion have been repro
duced, with absolute accuracy in
costuming and interior furnishings
of military homes, Army head
quarters, etc.
For soldier roles, none but war
veterans were enrolled in the pic
ture. Then came the problem Of
drilling the Civil War soldiers in
the manual of arms that was pre-.
valent Is years ago.
The drill master selected was
Carl Voss, former sergeant-major
of the Fourteenth Infantry and a
World War veteran, who obtained
old drill manuals of the Cival War
era from the War Department at
Washington.
