BRITISH FILMS
IMPORT TALENT

LONDON, Nov. 8. UP)-Following
the example of Hollywood, Britain's
film industry believes in hiring talent
where it can be found-even if it
isn't British.
Some of the film studios here are
more like small American colonies
than anything else. One studio re-
Gently visited appeared to be more
American than British. At The en-
trance gates, parked with an occa-
sional British car, were IL American
made automobiles.
Am in arm, walking through the
grounds, directors, cameramen and
actors could be heard speaking with
the familiar tWangs from various
parts of America. Almost all accents
were represented, from the East Side,
New York, to the Southern drawl
Speakers of the Kings English, es-
pecially the so-called oxford ac-
cent were in the minority.
Within five minutes, three other
accents had been detected: Cockney
(from the British chauffeurs) 4,
French by young director import
ed from Paris with his assistant, and
German by young Austrian, hired
to take charge of a makeup depart
ment.
American names familiar to play
goerS and movie fans in America
are becoming more and more famil-
lar TO England, partly because SO
many Americans, producers and ac-
tors, visit England. Within the past
few weeks alone, Jesse LaSky, Doug
lass Montgomery, Douglas Fair
banks, Sr., Merle Oberon, Frederic
March and Claire Luce are only a
few of those who have been seen in
London. They are leading those who
are following the development OF
Britain's new movie industry to be-
lieve that British competition is
causing the rest of the film world
to sit up and take notice.
Miss Luce only recently returned
from a vacation in Soviet Russia
She went there to attend the Mos
COW Theater Festival.
Claire declared she enjoyed one of
the finest, if not the finest, holidays
ever. She said the Russian Theater
fascinated her and that she consid-
cred that without a doubt it was
the finest theater IN the world.
Il had heard so many conflicting
reports concerning what the Soviets
were doing in the theater, that ]
decided to go over and see for my
self" said Miss Luce. They really
are marvellous"
She added that she did not see
much in the film line there.

DELEGATES IN
BATTLE OVER
MEETING SITE

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 8. U.P)-
Delegates to the Four State con-
yention of Sciots engaged in live
ly battle today to determine wheth-
er next years gathering will be
held in Long Beach or San Jose.
Playful periods were postponed
while the delegates attended serious
business meetings. Previously, Sac
ramento police, after vain at
tempt to maintain some semblance
of order on the downtown streets,
withdrew their forces and turned
the city over to the Sciots who de-
voted much of their spare time to
misdirecting traffic until it was
hopelesSly snarled.
Gov. Frank F. Merriam was priv
ileged to wear a fez today as a re-
suit of his initiation by Long Beach

mony. He was guest of honor last
night at the annual Izzers and

ASSASSINS OF
ALEXANDER ON
TRIAL SOON

PARIS, Nov. 8. U.P)-The terror
ism behind SaraieyO which has
brought constant upheavals i'll tur-
bulent central Europe since the war
will hold world attention when six
of the plotters of King AleXander's
assassination go on trial in the lit
tie southern town of AiX-en-Pro-
vence. The case is due to be opened
by mid-Noyember.
The word Oustachis - dreaded
Croatian terrorist society-was scar
cely known outside the Balkans until
Oct. 8, 1884. On that day, as throngs
lined the beflagged streets of Mar
seilles, cheering the smiling and gor-
geouSly uniformed King of Yugo-
slavia, and Louis Barthou, Frances
aged foreign minister, man dashed
from the curb leaped onto the run
ming board of the slowly moving
limousine and pumped bullets into
their bodies Almost before the smiles
faded from the lips of Barthou and
Alexander the assassin was struck
down by sabers, shot by guards and
killed by the crowd.
This man was a member of the
Oustachis named Petrus Kelemen
Three of his accomplices in France
were rounded up. They will be tried
for their lives at AK. Locked in an
Italian prison is the chief or the
Croatian secret society, Ante Pave
Itch, one-time deputy, brains and
supreme leader of the band.
No word has come of Pavelitch for
months, but the Italians refuse to ex-
tradite him, and it is unlikely that
he will ever face FreLch justice for
the murder OF his king on French
soil. He is actually on trial, along
with two others who remain abroad,
but even if he is sentenced to death,
1t will be only theoretically. Actually,
Pavelitch already is under a sentence
of death in Jugoslavia
For decades secret political So
cietieS have spread terror in the Bal
kans. Best known have been the Co.
mitadjaS of Macedonia, who have
bloody history of assassination and
outrage behind them. Next best
known and certainly next most ac-
tive have been the Oustachis of
Croatia, and their record is filled
with sabotage, bombings and mur-
der, although they have been in ex-
istence only since 1929.
There seems to be a curious intan-
gible link between all these revolu-
tionary societies of the Balkans. They
have many things in common. One
is the fact that their secrecy is IRON
bound. Generally the identity of the
members is SO closely guarded that
except when there is definite job to
be done the men are unknown to
each other and are held together
only by their common and absolute
obedience and fidelity to the chief.
Imperial Valley press., 1935-11-08

They have one unfailing mark of
identity-a skull and crossbones
tattooed on their arms.
The Oustachis grew out Of the po-
litical group called the Frankovszy,
which had questionable success in
postwar, restless Jugoslavia. This
group was named after the founder,
Franko, a pan-GermaniSt Croat. Os-
tensibly, Franko, and later the Gus
tachis, pledged their lives to create
an independent Croatia, but actual
ly, according to many men close to
them, including the famous Croatian
leader Raditch, they worked for the
restoration of a new empire COM
prising Austria, Hungary and Croa-
tia. For this reason Raditch stigma
tized Franko, and later Pavelitch, as
foreign agents."
Before 1929 Pavelitch, as Franko'S
successor, was a deputy and worked
for his obscure cause by legal means,
but when King Alexander set up the
Jugoslavia dictatorship Pavelitch was
driven to cover and the Oustachi So
ciety was born. 1t was then that they
were organized in great secrecy and
the complicated, if well concealed,
group began its terrorism.
The first manifestation of eXis-
tence was a political murder-that
Of Tony Schlegel, editor OF a Zagreb
paper devoted to the hated cause of
unified Jugoslavia.
In the years that followed there
were more murders. There were
bombings and the systematic crea-
ton of unrest over an area from the
Albanian frontier to the northern
Dalmatian coast; from the borders
of Hungary to the Bulgarian frontier.
From time to time AleXander'S po-
lice laid their hands on Oustachis,
but never on Pavelitch, who escaped
abroad with a few lieutenants and
worked from Hungary, Italy and
even France with great effectiveness
and with obscure but tangible for
eign financial supposJ. Prospochil,
one of the men facing the guillotine,
was one of those arrested in the
early days of the Oustachi terror,
but he escaped abroad with COM
rade after breaking prison and baffl-
ing his pursuers by throwing bombs
at them.
