tion Of attempting to secure con-

Balloon admitted British films

them a "howling success in this
country"
THAT something special" he said,
will be supplied, I think, when our
pictures have American stars play
ing some of the leading roles. We
want a number Of names, that's it,

New York for the next week, then

DISTINGUISHED photoplay with certain

Aim fare conceived and executed
along artistic lines, unadulterated by
fairy-tale accoutrements.
"Chapayev," of course, is propa-
ganda, undeniably and unblushingly,
for the U. S. S. R., but it is eX-
cellently constructed propaganda
withal. "Chapayev" tells the story
of "The Red Commander" leader

vigorous motion picture, slow and
stodgy at times, and then dramatic
and exciting.
Chapayev was a heroic leader If
this is the accurate historical d9cu-
ment it claims to be, dashing into
battle ahead Of his men and giving
himself to his cause completely and
with burning devotion. The film
takes up his life at the time Red lead

following through a successful cam
paign, and ending at his death, after
he and his soldiers have been sur

to retreat.

break today between women IS pa

and south.
The petition filed by U. S. Sen.

sets, was accompanied by a resolu-
ton adopted at the annual con-
vention of the Massachusetts Wom-
en- s Relief Corps of the G.. A. r. in
which the great Confederate gener-
al was called a traitor.
This brought a sharp protest
from the Massachusetts chapter of
the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy.
Mrs. Albert L. Rider of Brook
line, president of the organization,
said she did not believe the ''reso-
luton truly represents the feeling
of the people of the north. General

over as a man of sincere and true
character and I'm sure we do not
have to start defending him"

an open, taxable basis under terms
of bill sent to the lower house to-
day with approval of the assembly
public morals committee.

add 10 cents to the cost of each 50
ticket, the 10 cents going to the
state. Turner testified the bill
would raise $4,OO0,O00 biennially.
1--WE have more betting through
bookmakers than at the tracks, -
he said, land it is uncontrolled.
We might as well legalize it and
give the state a chance to profit
by collecting fees and taxes

ABOARD THE U. S. S. PENN
SYLVANIA, At Sea, May l6. -
Like warning chessmen on the vast
game board of the Pacific, two
contingents of the United States
battle fleet moved surreptittiously
today into position for the greatest
peacetime battle of the century
So dense was the secrecy yelling
the fleets movements that many
aboard the 'ironclad fighting ships
did not know their exact where
abouts.
Mystery as to whereabouts of
Vice Admiral Arthur j. Hepburns
n Warships of the ''black' fleet, the
attacking division, deepened as the
days passed, with even officers OF
Admiral Harris Laning's 83 white"
defending ships unable to tell con-
fidentially the exact position Of
the impending major engagement
between the two units.
The defending fleet left Pearl
Sarbor, Honolulu, today expecting
to meet the enemy within a week.
1t was understood the mock battle
would be staged somewhere within
a thousand mile radius Of Midway
island. 1000 miles northwest of
Honolulu.
AS the navy's momentous war
games were worked out, it became
apparent that the present maneu-
vers involving solution of naval
problem 16" was allowing much
greater initiative to small COM
mands than heretofore.
The opportunity for employing
wartime strategy was extended to
many more commanders than in
previous annual maneuVers, with
Admiral Joseph M. Reeves on the
sidelines as a -combatant UNI
pire aboard the u. S. S. Pennsyl-
vania, fleet flagship.
Admiral Reeves observations Of
the maneuvers will be submitted to
naval officials when the fleet re-
turns 10 Honolulu, about May 25.
His summation Of the activities is
expected to have a vital bearing on
Americas future Pacific naval pol
icies.

Comment on Former President

Chairman Robert l.. Doughton
Of the house ways and means

I'm view of the fact that the de-
preston was brought under his ad-
ministration I know of a great
many men through the country
who have given matters serious
thought whose suggestions would

think it rather strange that Mr.
Hoover persists in offering advice
now when during his entire four

GIANTS AND
WHITE SOX
LEAD RACES
By LAWTON CARVER
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 16. - Bitter
pennant races in both major cir
cults were interrupted today West
ern American Leaguers came east
for the first time, and eastern Ma
tionalS made their first visit into
the west. Only three games are on
the day IS program.
In one of two battles in the
American, the Indians opened at
Yankee stadium in an attempt to
cut the idle White Sox lead to a
half game in the single National
League contest the Dodgers rubbed
elbows with opportunity at Pitts
burgh, and could pare the idle
Giants margin to one full game.
The Giants and White Sox now
head the circuits with identical
percentages after yesterdays heavy
firing. The SoX won one game and
the Giants split a pair as the two
leaders boosted their figures to Is
victories and six losses and an aV-
erage of .714-a pace so hot that
the rest are finding it difficult to
stay close, much less pull ahead.
The Giants handed Dizzy Dean
his third defeat in the opener by
to l, then lost right back to Daft
fly Dean in the nightcap by the
same count as the Cardinals clung
to fourth place.
Phelps hit a homer for the Dod-
gers in the first game, but the
Cubs won, 8 to 4, as Tex Carlton
and Warneke combined to pitch a
seven hitter. The Dodgers then
came back in the second to win by
3 to l on six hits allowed by
Charlie Root.
The futile Phils got back in form,
made seven errors, allowed 19 hits
and lost 20 to 5, to the Pirates. The
White Sox won from Philadelphia
in the American, to O.. The In
dams clung to second place by nos
ing out Washington, S to 4.
Charlie Ruffing pitched a six hit
4 to 0 shutout over the Tigers, and
the Yankees took undisputed hold
on fourth place, Washington drop
ped to fifth.
