HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 31.-Grace
Bradley probably will never get
over hearing about that by-now
famous hay ride party she gave
Cor shall we say, had given for
her). The trucks to cart the
guests to their destination were
donated by an automobile COM
pany for the publicity it garnered
therein; the hay was donated be-
cause the grain company also got
publicity, and when the whole
business was photographed and
the results of the picture-taking
will be turned into a short and
distributed about the country.
AS a result one really wasn't a
guest. one just played actor and
actress for night and received
no pay for it. Some fun, eh kid?
The San Diego Exposition,
which opens up again in January,

make everything just as comfort

as they possibly can. Nevertheless

Russian Justice"

Sherwood Eddy, who has visited
Russia six times under the existing
government, says that no profession
is made in that country of settling
disputes upon basis of absolute or
of abstract justice. If the offender
is a poor worker he is given a light
sentence, If he is an intelligent or
privileged citizen who should have
known better, he is given a heavier
punishment, but if he is a member
of the Communist party he is given
the maximum penalty of the law.

PENDING SECURITY
BILL IS UPHELD
Solicitor Generals Aide
VouChes for Measures
ConstitutionaIity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Justice Department, through
Angus D. MacLean, assistant solicitor
general, told the Senate Finance Com
mittee today the Supreme Courts
decision on the railroad retirement
law would not affect the constitu-
tionality of the pending administration
social security bill.
MacLean appeared before the COM
mittee in executive session and was
closely questioned on the conStitu-
tional phases Of the bill.
Chairman Harrison said MacLean
told the committee the Justice De-
partment believed the bill was con-
Stitutional because it was framed on
different constitutional grounds than
the railroad law the court held invalid.
The Mississippian said he hoped
to get the social security bill out OF
committee this week, without any
major changes from the form in which
passed the House.
Senator King, Democrat, Of Utah,
expressed the emphatic view that
despite the Justice Departments opin-
ion he felt that some sections of the
social security law were fatty uncon-
Stitutional.
He said while there was no doubt
Congress could appropriate money to
aid State pension plans, the bill pro-
posed to go much further than that
and to reach into the States and
assume jurisdiction over individuals.
A long report from Attorney Gen
eral Cummings on the effect Of the
Supreme Court decision in invalidat-
ing the railroad retirement act was
received today by President Roosevelt,
but he reserved comment pending
study of the document.
The quick action of the Attorney
General in summarizing the decision
was generally regarded as indicative
of the administrations intention to
continue its program.
There appeared to be no doubt that
Mr.. Roosevelt intended to push for
enactment of this legislation.
Although he did not originally rec
ommend the railroad retirement act.
and signed it with some misgivings,
there was a widespread belief the
President would seek to get through
an amended bill, if it were found pos
sible to meet the Supreme Court oh"

Shirley Is
the Darling
Of Fox Lof
Hickman Is Amazed al
Acting Performance of
Little Star.
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal. Oct. 3
Memories of Will Rogers hang over
Movietone City Of the Fox Studios
like an everlasting benediction.
In contrast to this is the bright
natural smile and laugh Of little
girl-Shirley Temple.
From the second I landed on the
126-acre Fox set near Beverly Hills,
the general conversation was that
Shirley is at work"
More than a mile from the adj
ministration building before great
/ Southern mansion, Shirley was at
work before the camera with Karen
Morley and John Boles in The
Littlest Rebel"
felt a CULVER run down my spine
as 1 caught sight of a little girl
standing quietly before a Camers in
a scene showing an old Southern
garden with roses and other flowers.
But this little girl was not Shirley,
but her "stand-in," a duplicate in
looks, but not to Shirley's amazing
talents.
After tn pereliminaries were over
and Director David Butler was
satisfied where Shirley was to stand,
Mr.. Butler called: Shirley, darling,
come here"
Beats Him to Cue
In a second the brightest, smiling
little girl the screen has ever re-
fected came skipping toward the
director.
Dressed in little hoop skirt with
a checkered apron over it, under
which we're exposed a pair of panta-
looms, Shirley shook her golden
blond hair and looked up at her
director.
Mr. Butler stopped and started to
instruct Shirley to register tears as
she babe farewell to her father
(John Boles), Confederate officer
starting out to war.
He started to give Shirley her cue
but the little girl beat him to it as
she said, "Oh, Daddy, be sure and
give my love to General Lee"
Then Shirley saluted Boles who
was standing near the camera.
1t was remarkable sight to see
this little girl camera perfect in one
rehearsal. Every time she looked at
John Boles she had a great big
smile as he called her sweetheart"
ShirIey's Doll House"
Near the administration building
on the Fox lot is the Shirley Temple
bungalow, not quite a dolls house,
bu a sweet little home while she is
on the lot.
Shirley has the playthingS of little
girls who live on Main-st. She has
a rope swing and at the rear of her
bungalow is her priced possessions
eight black and white rabbits.
She names them after the movie
people she knows. She calls the
biggest white rabbit David Butler
And the biggest black rabbit is
named Bill Robinson, the famous
Negro tap dancer who has many big
dancing scenes with Shirley in The
Littlest Rebel"
