What impressed me most in that

Here's a one-minute review of

''I screened it today. Greatest
picture in months and months.
Charl"- ughton Is simply tre-
mendous. He will be the most
hated man that ever appeared on
the screen-and the most ad-
mired for a great performance.
Franchot Tone gives a speech
that surpaSSes anything he has
ever given to our art. Gable
simply excels."
Mr.. Berger, between breaths,
managed to add that all Of the
Loew executives, including Lew
Brown. voted with him. The ver-
dict, it seems, was by acclaim.
Rudy assures me will go wild
over Charles Laughton. If I do
it must be a colossal picture. For
Laughton, to me, is the greatest
overrated example of English
overacting that these eyes have
ever gazed upon.

DUTIES OUTLINED
Col. H. B. Hackett Discusses
Role to Be Taken by D. c.
Committee.

The part that the newly named

ton with the planning Of loW-rent
housing projects for the National
Capital was outlined yesterday at a

In response to question by Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who attended
the meeting, Col. Hackett stated that
his division IS taking care to see that
families occupying slum areas that
will be eliminated obtain new quar-
ters with the minimum of hardship.
Through cooperation with local pri-
vate welfare agencies, the local emer-
gency relief administrations and the
MANAGEMENT branch Of the housing
division, approximately 12,454 families
have been successfully relocated in
the various cities where projects are
located.
Titles Holding Up Work.
The Washington Committee on
Housing, Col. Hackett pointed out, is
an advisory group with no official
authority and no legal responsibility,
hut the housing division expects to
work closely with this group In de-
veloping local projects He assured
the committee he would keep 1t ad-
vised of major policies developed with
respect to these projects.
There are only two low-rent hous-
irg developments being projected IN
Washington, but as yet the Govern
ment has been unable to secure title

1etary Ickes may soon announce &C

Furnishing pertinent information on
the sites under consideration and on
various community facilities.

Public Opinion Is Factor.
Keeping in contact with various
groups in the community interested
in the projects or that will be affected
by them.
In moulding and guiding public
opinion.
Helping to see that needed housing
laws are enacted and that existing
laws are properly enforced, in order
to avoid creation Of new slums.
Clarence Phelps Dodge, chairman
of the committee, was host to the
membership at the luncheon given
at the Y. w. C. A. He offered the
services of the committee of 81 promi-
nent citizens in the program for slun
clearance and construction of low

he said, ito recall the wonderful work
of Mrs. Archibald Hopkins for over a
period of 20 years" Mrs. Hopkins
long a leader in slum clearance, was
unable to attend the luncheon.
Mrs. Roosevelt, honorary chairman
Of the group. expressed her interest
in the national program. She said
she felt that washington should serve

WORLD CONDITIONS
REVIEWED AT CLUB
Economic, Political and Inter
national Conditions Dis
cussed by c. L. Young

A birds eye view OF economic, po-
flitical and international high-lights
throughout the world in 1884 was
presented by c. L. Young, local at
torney. at the regular noon luncheon
of the Rotary club Wednesday.
Young said that while Great Brit
ain was showing real signs of recov-
cry: France. Italy and Germany were
In worse economic condition: and the
United States was in a doubtful stage
of recovery mainly through the bene-
ficiaries of a lavish federal govern
ment. There are still between eight
and ten million unemployed In the
United States and most Of the bust
ness upturn can be traced directly to
relief or reconstruction projects, he
said.
The trend to relationships which
spread from italy to Germany and
has been felt to lesser degree In
even the United States and Great
Britain was the most potent political
force during the year, Young said
Curtailment of free speech, free press
and the right to organize and the
rise of intense nationalism were
among the chief characteristics Of
| the relationships.
Marked by international unrest
and constant fear Of war, the year
was a turbulent one from the inter-
national aspect, Young said. He went
on to point out the many interna-
tional crises that arose and discussed
| their settlement.
Young was introduced by FREQ
Copelin, program chairman. Guests
Of the club were J. E. Pyle, Fargo,
r. K. LeBarron of st. Paul and S. o
LeBarron, Emerson Logee, Sidney j
Hoffman and Lorin E. Duemeland, al
