Sugar made up her mind she'd make
Johnny open the conversation If she
had to sit there all night. Finally
Johnny grinned feebly.
"I-guess you think I've been
putting something over on you?"
"Oh. not at ALL" Sugar looked in
different.
Its funny zanie Lou didn't tell
you about knowing me- Johnny
picked up a letter on the desk and
looked at it to hide his confusion.
ut wasn't at all necessary"
"Hey, you can't fool me-" Johnny
looked up then. you're sore as a
boiled hoot owl. At least you would
be, if you cared anything about me.
But maybe you don't-really."
Sugar gave him tolerant smile.
"If you're trying to start a fight to
get out of this, save your breath. I'm
sure it's none of my business what
you do. You're free to do exactly as
you please, as far as I'm concerned.
If I don't seem to burn up with
jealousy, don't let 1t worry you. I
never have been jealous-and I never
will be. Why shouldn't you have
friends. And why shouldn't ~"

when they ate in the little restaurant
across the street from the theater.
But everything fell fiat.
Jealousy gnawed at Sugar so that
she could not sleep. In the wee small
hours she found herself crying softly
into her pillow. She decided 1t must
be love. Nothing else could make you
feel like that.
She made up her mind to one thing.
No matter what Johnny did she must
stand by him ard try to understand
Life was SO different for both of them
out in the strange new world She,
too. had made mistakes. Poor Johnny
needed her, as much as she needed
him. Nothing must happen to sep
arate them or change their plans.
Finally she fell asleep.

yeah! I suppose this gives you a
chance to have dates with other men
You think I've broken my promise to
you by making friends with zanie
Lou"
II didn't know you had been having
dates with her." Sugar taunted. with
a maddening little smile. Il thought
she just came up here trying to be
noble and help you out with your
art"
II didn't say had date with her."
Johnny replied sullenly 4
Sugar sighed with elegant indff-
ference.
I'm sure this is all very childish.
Do you want me to pose. or don't you?"
Johnny was very much taken aback.
Sure, want you to pose" He
got up. Stand over there against
the wall"
Sugar rose obediently and struck
a pose. Johnny went to his easel.
But in a second he jumped up and
crossed the floor
Listen. honey" He took her in his
arms. you're not going to let little
thing like this make any difference
between us, are you?"

POINT IN COURT

RICHMOND, Va, April 4.
Major Robert c. Kent, jr., of
Roanoke, serving a 13-year-term
in Virginia prison, today won
the first step in his fight to set
aside his conviction on a charge
of kidnapping Mrs. Mary j. Hast
ings, proprietress Of the Blue
Ridge Springs Hotel, near Roa'
noke, last June.
The Virginia Supreme Court
granted Major Kent a writ of
error. Arguments will be heard
in September and then it will
be decided whether he will have
a new trial.
Mrs. Hastings body was found
a few days after her disappear
ance, in a ditch near Strouds-
burg, Pa. The woman had been
shot to death. Kent was not
tried on a murder charge be

not prepared to prove he had
slain the woman in this State.
Major Kent, grandson of a
former lieutenant governor Of
Virginia, contends he drove with
Mrs. Hastings to washington and
left her there.

HEXAPOD BITES ACTRESS

HOLLYWOOD, April AT
tackled by a hexapod, a six"
footed poisonous insect, Grace
Bradley, film actress, was under
the care of a physician today,
as chemists sought to determine
the nature of the poison.
Miss Bradley was feeding the
hexapods to gold fish on her
Hollywood estate when one Of
them snapped at her, the poi
sorous sting resulting in a swell
ing Of the face.
A hexapod literally is anything
with six feet, and may be ap-
piled. for instance. to a chair or
stool. In early use it signified
an insect with six feet, and to-
day bears the same connotation
when applied to this particular
genus of insect.

SCHULTZ FLAYS
BLANTON

Aroused over the "unwarranted
attack" made against him on the
floor of the House yesterday by
Representative Tom Bla n t o n
Cd of Texas, Representative
William Schultz Cd of indiana,
today declared:
''BIantOn has just started this
fight. I'll show him a real
fight. I'll take the floor in a
few days and tell him some"
thing"
The Tndianan was out of town
when the fiery Texan took the
floor on a question Of personal
privilege primarily to denounce
the Washington newspapers fo1
allegedly plotting to undermine
him for his activities in connec'
ton with District appropriations
Mr.. Blanton flayed the treat
ment accorded him by the House
crime investigating committee and
he specifically referred to Mr.
Schultz in this connection.
He also read letter to the
House in which it was stated that
Mr.. Schultz was a close friend
of the owner of a restaurant in
the first block of H Street North
east which Mr.. Blanton said is
a restaurant and saloon down
stairs and a place upstairs where
people may have wild parties"
Mr.. Schultz said today:
'Blanton'S attack on me yes
terday was entirely unwarranted
and awfully unfair. I'll tell the
House something about the
character of the person whose
letter Mr.. BIantOn read and on
whom Mr.. BIanton seems to put
50 much faith"
The letter was written by George
Reedy, a former local newspaper
man.

AIR CORPS HELD
WEAK DESPITE
NEW UNITS
Langley Field Staff Chief
Says Many Craft in Use
Are "TerribIe"

Despite provision for 500 new
airplanes in War Department ap-
preparations for the next fiscal
year, and although contracts al
ready have been let for $50 addi-
tional planes, further reduction
through obsolescence appears in
evitable today in the admittedly
inadequate Army Air Corps
strength Of 1,400 flying units.
This condition was revealed to
The Times today by Lieut.. Col.
Follep Bradley, U. S. A., of the
general headquarters air force
and assistant chief of staff at
Langley Field, Va.
According to Colonel Bradley,
the first of the 500 planes pro-
vided for in the War Department
appropriations will not be deliv.
cred until 10 months after July l,
the date on which the money will
be made available.
100 BOmbers Ordered
Contracts for 100 Martin
bombers have been closed, Colonel
Bradley said, but the first of
these giants will not be delivered
until October l, and the remain
der are to be ready at the rate
of eight each month thereafter.
Fifty pursuit planes and ITO
attack planes have also been
ordered, but will not be delivered
before early fall, the G. H. @.
officer said.
Army planes become obsolete
at the rate of 500 annually, Col
onel Bradley explained, adding:
"It certainly does not look
hopeful that the Air Corps can
be built to the 2,32O-plane
strength which military author.
tiles consider the minimum
necessary"
Calls Planes Unsafe
Army regulations forbid the use
of unsafe airplanes in the Air
Corps. The colonel insists, how
ever, that in his opinion a large
number of the Army planes are
Crates" He states:
Especially at the air bases
in our territorial possessions,
many of the planes are so old
that they have reached their
sixth period of Overhauling."
Each Army plane gets a COM
plete overhauling after 500 hours
of flying, he said.
Colonel Bradley described the
condition of the bombing fleet at
nearby Langley Field as terrible"
from the viewpoint of efficiency,
although safe for operation, say
, ing:
"Those Keystone biplane
bOmberS have good Wright
motors, but can only do 100
miles per hour and that's down
hill"

NJ CARL SCORES
CONTRACT

Comptroller General J. R. Nc
Carl has questioned the legality
of a contract between the Treas
ury Department and the firm of
lowering Brothers, Inc, of Balti-
more, in which the company com
planned that no transaction has
been made in nine months despite
an agreement that they should
furnish the Government with co..
900 pounds of iron castings. Lack
of appropriations held up action,
it was said, and Mr.. McCarl ruled:
"There appears no necessity
for the United States contract
ing upon such a basis as to re-
suit in doubts and uncertain
ties with possible litigation, and
it is requested that appropriate
administrative action be taken
to prevent TIE execution of fur
ther similar contracts by Of

Drastic caucus rule may be in.
voked by House Democrats in an
effort to stave off a threatened
revolt against the old-age pension
provisions of President Roosevelt
economic security program bill.
A canvass of the House Demo
cratic membership was being
made today to aid leaders in
reaching final decision on
methods of warding off the at
tack.
The fight on the old-age pen
sion provisions came from the
Townsendites and another bloc
seeking more liberal pensions,
with conservative members seek
ing means to halt legislation IN
the present session.
Gag Opposed
The Ways and Means Commit
tee, handling the bill providing
for old-age pensions, unemploy-
ment insurance and other social
measures, favored passage under
q gag" rule which would forbid
amendments.
Strong opposition to this
method of procedure, however,
prompted consideration Of a
Democratic caucus, which would
bind members to support the pro-
gram as approved by the White
House.
With the economic security bill
labelled by some Administrator
leaders as the most far.reaching
and important measure Of the
Roosevelt administration, the
Democratic leadership was anx'
ious to pass it in a form accept
able to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Bill to Be Offered
While the original proposals
of the Presidents committee have
been revised, the Ways and Means
Committee approved the major
recommendations.
Despite demand in the commit
tee for liberalization, it stuck to
the provision to limit old-age
grants to states to SIS a month
per person on a matching basis.
The revised economic security
bill was to be introduced today by
Chairman Doughton CD of North
Carolina. of the Ways and Means
Committee. 1t is to be formally
reported by the committee to-
morrow, and brought on the House
floor next week.

STATE

Entertainment fit for 8 king and made to suit the queens taste |. that's the show at Warner Brothers State theater which concludes a successful three day engagement to- morrow night.
 Headlining the bill is suave. TO- mantle Ronald Colman in "The Man Who Broke the Bank At Monte Carlo" with lovely Joan Bennett and Colin Give.
 The companion feature is Re member Last Night?" a mystery drama with a new twist and a thousand thrills starring Edward Arnold ("Diamond Jim"), Constance Cummings, Robert Young and a host of other screen celebrities.
 Saturday brings Stark Young's great story of the south "So Red the Rose" starring Margaret Sullavan with Walter Connolly and Randolph Scott.
 As in the novel, which the film effectively highlights, the picture deals with a proud southern family, rich in tradition and accomplish ment, which responds to the call to arms when war sears the country
 Exciting war scenes serve as the pictures background, as do the scenes of plantation negroes who respond to their liberation with mixed feelings of joy and sadness.
 Margaret Sullavan plays the pop ular heroine of Stark Young's novel and by her moving perform ance proves that she ranks high among the emotional actresses on the screen. Randolph Scott is ef- fective as her sweetheart and those three outstanding character players. Walter Connolly, Janet Beecher and Elizabeth Patterson are superb in carefully dilineated parts. The com- pat1ion feature will be Miss Pacific Fleet" an avalanche of fun and merriment in "sailor-town" with that great crew of funmakers Joan Blondell, Glenda Farrell, Allen Jen- kins and Hugh Herbert. If you see it bring your smelling salts .. :. because you'll grow weak from laughing.
