 that.
 High officials outside Interior and PWA have encountered evi. denccs of Giavis probings and complained. And finally Glavls investigation of the Reedsville project landed on the toes of per- sons with White House infiuence--- which may or may not explain why Roosevelt protested about Giavis as well as about Burlew to Ickes It's Q pretty situation now. Civil service employees, Burlew and GIa- wis can't be fired without formal charges. Roosevelt doesn't want to lose Ickes, who endorses them both up to the hilt

STATE

"The White Cockatoo," a nelo- dramatic murder mystery thriller guaranteed to send chills creeping up and down the spine, heads the double feature program at Warm CTS State theater to-day, tomor. row and Friday. It Is from tho pen of Mignon c. Eberhart, fa- nous woman writer of mystery fiction. This new Warner Bros. drama, unlike most mystery plays. acccntuates the romance angle very strongly.
 The attempts of two bands of criminals to steal young Amer lean girls fortune, lead to three murders, the Kidnapping of the hciress and an attempt on the lives of several others. An American engineer, aided by n cockatoo, finally solves the killings and oth- CT mysterious happenings in the spo0ky French hotel.
 Joan Muir hay the role of tho hcircss whose past is wrapped In mystery, and who has q habit of appearing in two places at the same time, q coincidence which is not explained until the end of the story.
 Comedy relief is injected into the intense and thrilling action by Ruth Donnclly, fin the role of an eccentric American school teach CT who manages to get herself mixed up in the mystery through her habit of snooping about.
 The companion feature iS I've Been Around' starring Chester Morris and Rochelle Hudson. The story is that of a girl who is swept off her feet by the attentions of a smo both -tongued adventurer. who is seeking the wealthiest financial match he can find. But the girl, played by Miss Hudson. discovers the character of the man just as she is about to break her engage ment with Chester Morris. She rushcs the wedding with Morris and then in a dramatic scene re- vcais her love for the adventurer.
 Miss Hudson does such q splen- did job that you hate her for most of the picture. Isabel Jewell is a perfect ray of bubbling sunshine throughout. the picture. and Gene I-ockhart, as Morris's pal, fur nishes 0 wealth of laughs. c. r: Huntlcy. Jr. as the adventurer, Is excellent.
 Don't forget the States second big Amateur Radio Broadcast from the stage of this theater over WlxBS on Friday night. Another great cast of talented entertainers will compete for cash prizes. Sing CTS, instrumentalists, comedians. etc, will be on hand to make their bid for fame and fortune in radio. Come on down and give them a great big hand.

Knife Out for Glavis

Similarly, Louis R. Glavis--an- other Ickes favoritc, who heads the vast Ickes invcstigatiye force, or "spy system," and may well be called America's Bupcr-sleuth-has incurred White House displcasure by his almost incredible espionage into the affairs of officials high and low.

 Burlews great strength with 1ckes rests in his tremendoug effi- ciency, athu0gh that has lately been impaired by the enormous pile of policy-making and admin istrative detail loaded upon him.
 Giavis is human bloodhound. You run into so many instances of 1t here that you're convinced the man and his hundreds of opera lives have investigated everybody and everything.
 4 really great detective, he was hero of the BalIinger- Pinchot case 25 years ago and ace sleuth in many subsequent big investiga- tions.
 Ickes, taking over the 23,300.. 900, 900 PWA, hired him with the admonition: want you stop graft before 1t gets started, rather than simply expose 1t after 1t occurs." That probably explains some Gla- wis methods.

 Burlew was chief clerk at Inte- rior through. many years in which that department was considered the most unSavory in the govern

 change of administration and works as unit in placing its
