Merivale warns me he will be
the hero of another Washington
first night before the season
ends. He doesn't name the play
or the producer, but says just as
soon as he is released from his
Hollywood assignments he will be
busy with rehearsalS for the
drama.
PRETTY RAW STUFF
Again will risk being called an
old Puritan, killjoy and critic
who ought to wear petticoats. 1t
seems to me that Anything Goes
is too darned smutty. Smutty
really is a mild word for it. It's
dirty, raw and downright indecent
in some of its dialogue.
AS a matter OF fact I felt sorry
for Victor Moore on Monday night,
for this able Mr.. Milquetoast can
get by in a smart show without
layman jokes and quips that will
make the tender blush.

JANE FROMAN COMING
That perfectly grand little
singer, Jane Froman, will be
the Earle's headliner the week of
December 20. Here's a kid who
really looks as good as her voice
sounds. Warner Brothers put
her in one picture and she
clicked like a million. This Earle
week is one Of a very few be-
tween picture jobs.
Probably you know that Pat
O'Brien will get the big type on
Thirteenth Street next week. He
is one Of those actors they
thought they could keep in the
background, but audiences jusV
won't have it. They insist on
making him a favorite and "Oil
for the Lamps Of China" pushed
him into importance.
Personally it gratifies me to
hear Mr.. O'Brien tell one inter
viewer that he doesn't like the
corned beef and cabbage and
macushla tripe like ''The Irish In
U.s." in which he made a rousing
hit by swiping Jimmy Cagney on
the nose. Mr.. O'Brien wants
better stuff and though it made a
ton of money for Warner Bros.
he wants no more pictures where
the pig should be in the kitchen.
Fair warning for Pat O'Brien.
Washington esteems him highly.
It is flattered by getting the one
week he will play while on a
Hollywood sabbatical. Don't come
in with kind applause act. Give
this gang of yours real offering.
BY the way, Pat O'Brien will be
guest star on Rudy Vallee'S air
program tonight. Both he and
Jane Froman are featured in
"Stars Over Broadway" the James
Melton picture which will be
shown at the Earle the week OF
Pats personal appearance.

U. S. COTTON CREDIT
TO ITALY REFUSED
Export-1mport Bank Thinks De-
faulter May Have to Pay Cash
Eventually, Anyway.

by the ASSOCIATED HTeSS.
An official source said today the
Governments Export Import Bank
would refuse credit for cotton pur-
chases in this country, the staple to be
shipped to Italy.
The American cotton export indus
try was reported to have received re-
quests for q years credit on raw cot
ton for Italy and the application was
referred to the Export Import Bank.
Thereafter the credit period was
reduced in the request to six months.
Even so, the bank was said to be plan
ming to refuse the money, possibly on
the ground that such q loan would
fall under the ban against lending to
nations IN default to the United States.
Whether the cotton would be used
for war purposes was said not to be q
question at issue. since there is no
authority for refusal on that ground.
1t also was suggested that. since the
United States is the most important
source Of raw cotton. Italy probably
would have to pay cash eventually.

Those who usually know where H.
G. Hopson is have been betting that
the long missing head of Associated
Gas was within miles of the Senate
Lobby Committee, of and on, most
Of the time he was being sought.
There is supposed to have been a
sharp disagreement among his coun-
selors about his disappearance. Most
Of them thought he was playing In
with the committees publicity pur-
poses by lying low. So did the COM
mittee.
There is no question that Mr.. Roose-
welt has slipped the word to his con-
gressional leaders to compromise
wherever possible on existing legisla-
ton In an effort to adjourn August
20. For instance. his orders on taxes
are supposed to be so broad as to in
c1ude anything which reasonably re-
sembles the program suggested in his
congressional message. That may
save the bill.
You may suspect that the hardest
thing for him to compromise ON Is the
holding company bill, but a give-in
spirit about that Is already noticeable.

This expression Of policy came last
night from william L. Green, fedora

council had appointed three Of Its
members to cooperate in the New
York City campaign to drive labor
racketeers out of the metropolitan
area.

Hutcheson said he had made this
same statement to Hugh S. johnson,
New York relief chief, when he was
before the council Monday seeking
support for the security wage.
Hutcheson said, however, he was
speaking only for his own union.
The council and the federation's
building trades department are keep
ing hands of the New York dispute.
Both Green and J. w. Williams, de-
partment chief, said they anticipated
such trouble when they campaigned
before Congress for payment of pre-
vailing local wages on work-relief
projects. The security wage, they
said, would tend to drive down the
scale for private construction.
Evening star., 1935-08-08

What aroused these suspicious Is
the fact that at the last 8 or 10 con-
ferences the President usually has
given out facts and statistics obviously
prepared in advance.
Strangely, also. these facts and sta
tistics usually amount to good argu-
ments for legislation which happens
to be pending in Congress at the time,
For instance, uIeR the holding

the tar program came up he put
the rich opef the barrel for q
attacking Nth figures prepared for
him at the Treasury. Thus he got
advertising for his viewpoint, even
in the critical press.
OF course, these incidents are sup
posed to arise spontaneously. They
develop in response to specific ques-
tions from newsmen, but it is not
difficult for the White House to ar
range in advance to have the right
questions asked
To get the sharpest slant on this
distinct change of White House pub
Hcity technique. you have to go back
to the early days when press confer
ences were the main source of all
news. Sometimes 300 correspondents
fiocked to them. Policies and pur-
poses were discussed with unusual
freedom.
Then came the historic conference
at which the President outlined his
views about the N. r. A. decision Of
the Supreme Court. A change was
apparent Immediately thereafter. It
Is well known on the inside that Mr..
Roosevelt believed his position was not
clearly or adequately presented by the
press at that time.
Little or no important news has de-
veloped from conferences since. At
tendance has fallen OF occasionally as
much as so per cent.

Rhode Island Vote Is

A N OMINOUS symptom behind

~ that n good many voters VINO

velts relief money contributed their
ballots to the majority against his re
lief program. In short, they indulged
in a healthy chew on the feeding
hand.
Some astute politicos have been
prophesying for long time that such
a political phenomenon would develop
sooner or later. This Is the first evil
dence.
IT CON firms the suspicious OF po-
litical wise Hlen among the Neso
Dealers Uho haze been fearing
lately that the $1,000 200 .6ee re-
lief barrel ipoHld eventually prove
to be a political hazard rather than
an asset.
The sensahonalized deitat of the
Democratic candidate for Congress in
one district of Rhode Island was only
part of the story. Far more important.
in the eyes of politicians here, was
the Statewide defeat of most Of the
II public works proposals.
Projects Were Simon Pure.
These we're good projects, at least
as good as the P. w. A. Is Offering in
any State. No boondoggling was in
volved, except possibly In two pro-
posals to build beaches, whereas the
State already has one Of the best
beaches on the coast. The other de-
feated projects, however, centered
around needed expansion Of State hos
pitals, reformatorieS, schools and such
things
Instead of these the voters favored
a comparatively small amount for di-
rect relief of the destitute. They were
for relief. but not for spending.
And this happened in State where
idle mill workers comprise the bulk of
the vote, where maximum relief is
needed If it is needed anywhere.
Explanations mould NIL a book.

ago, after trying to get textile action
and suggested blandly that the Pres

the Rhode Island State Democratic
organization does not appear to have
been of much assistance
The New Deal opposition build the
thought that every one is a taxpayer
and that every one would have to pay
eventually for the $4,000, 100000 bond
issue to finance those II projects. The
winning slogan coined by 9 Providence
paper, was:

or live, you pay taxes"
President Locks Misehievoas.
President Roosevelt has had a mis-
chievous look in his eye at his press
conferences lately. In fact, there Is
more than q suspicion among news
men that he has been playing pub

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, August B.-Federal
Judge Charles A. Dewey OF Des Moines
declined today to order q hearing
August 10 on O Department Of Jus
tice Injunction suit against Warner
Bros. Pictures, Inc, and other major
motion picture producers, which
sought to prevent them from nego1-
ating new contracts.
The temporary Injunction was
sought by the Government to restrain
the producers from continuing an al
legged violation of antitrust laws BY
refusing to supply top rate films to
three flrst-run motion picture houses
here.
Emergency Disputed.
Judge Dewey, assigned m the alb
sence Of the two st. Louis judges,
said he could not see that the matter
complained of IN the suit constituted
an emergency.
Following a telephone conversation
with Assistant Attorney General Rus
sell Hardy in Washington, the judge
announced he would order the hear
ing only # specifically directed to do
so by the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals. II was Hardy who pre-
pared the antitrust indictments re-
turned by St. Louis grand jury In
January.
In its application for an Injunction
the Government contended that the
defendant companies and corporations
have refused tn renew contracts with
the three flrst-run houses, automati-
ca1y continuing the alleged antitrust
violation. The action, according 10
William r. Benham, Special Assistant
Attorney General, constituted an emer-
gency.
The Des Moines judge, however,
held that no emergency existed and
pointed out that the st. Louis judges
would return to their benches here

that the case be taken up then.

1t looked easy to reach the bottom
through the wooded country below
Half Dome. There was, however, no
trail and the going was very rocky
and precipitous.
After working our way for nearly
three hours, and as the sun was
about to set, insisted on stopping
and letting our predicament be
known. We shouted and built small
fire in order that our location could
become known. The wood was scarce
because We were on q rocky ledge, so
we nursed the tiny blaze along until

In the meantime Robert Tate, my

to spend the night alone.
I had my choice Of placing myself
against an ant-infested tree or perch

rock. I chose the latter because it
was easier to keep the fire up from
there. and as 1t grew colder I found
the cold . good protection against
