STRAND

William Powell, noted for his suaVity in handling tense situations in motion picture murder cases, drops his famous polish more than once in his now romantic mystery comedy, co-starring Jean Arthur, "The Ex-Mrs. Bradford" to show that he can be rough and tough when occasion demands. The picture concludes It's engagement at War; ner Brothers Strand theater tomor- row night.
 Tn this story, his pursuit is of . murderer who kills from afar and leaves only the most bewildering evidence as to his mysterious man- ner of staying; 1t is high-lighted by two knockdown and drag.out fights in which MT. Powell-due to no lack of prowess-is the party dragged.
 Miss Arthur romances and trades wisecracks with the star through out his violent adventures, and Eric Biore, of "Top Hat, fame. helps spice them with comedy ia another butler role. James Gleason and Robert Armstrong have important roles.
 The companion feature is ''ThC Country Beyond" with Rochelle Hudson, Paul Kelly and Buck" the wonder dog.

Their Words Don't Add Up

The republican convention uo. ings were conspicuous for the differences between the public and private statements of statesmen.
 Senator Borah, for instance, had been telling his friends that the packers of Landon were rec dictionaries and monOpolists of the worst type, and that he couldn't support such . man in his campaign. PuDllcly, however, he insisted he was interested in the platform only.
 Senator Vandenberg, from the start, has told every friend he has in Washington that he deems the io36 republican nomination to be worthless and that he would be silly to take the presidential or vice presidential nomination in Q losing year.
 Publicly, of course, he would say nothing of the sort.
 BOrah Takes It on Chin
 Few men have taken worse lac- ings toward the end of their careers than poor Borah. Plain fact is that Father Coughlin and Dr. Townsend were more influen- tial in the writing of the platform than he.
 Borah's big issue was bound up in his antl-monopoly plank. It now develops that the Lion of Idaho went wlstfully back to the democratic monopoly plank of 1912 and presented 1t almost ver- batim to tho republican platform committee.
 Its essential paragraph proposed strict federal regulation of cor- porations which would bar hold ing companies beyond the second degree, interlocking directorates, stock watering, price.fixing, price discrimination, and "other r1onop- olistic practices"
 Of course the old-line politicians tossed that part right out the win. dow, retaining only c denunciation of monopolies and Q promise of enforcement of the anti . trust laws which gathered dust under republican rule for i2 long years.
 
 Coughlin, Townsend Score
 The bid to Coughlin was in the currency blanks failure to mention gold, which of course was agreeable to Borah.
 Dr. Townsend was recognized In the security blanks approval of . pay.as-you-go policy, old age pensions for all needy Americans over 65, and financing by 70 di- rect tax widely distributed"
 And then, as Borah left town, Landon hurled Q couple of dead cats after him by Suggesting Q change in the Constitution, which Borah opposed, and by declaring for the gold standard, which Borah detests.
 If Borah can now claim that he's even half-satisfied by what happened in Cleveland, chs the kind of fellow who would con- gratulate Q dentist who pulled the wrong tooth.

A QUARTER century after the AA American Revolution, Eng land entered a European conflict which led her to impress Ameri- can seamen for her navy. James Madison, one of the framers of the new Constitution, became president in 1909 and tried vainly to settle the issue with England peaceably. But impressment con. tlnued, and in 1872 Madison de. clared war-the first war of the United States since its independ- cnce. It lasted two years, and 1t established American rights on the seas.
 Madison was one of Thomas Jcfferson's disciples and a leader of the Jeffersonian party. He had been secretary of state under Jefferson for the entire two terms. Thanks to his knowledge of short- hand, the proceedings of the con- vention of l787, which framed the Federal Constitution, have been saved for posterity.
 In his second term, Madison approved the establishment of a national bank, after having ve- toed the measure previously,

 Can Find Comfort in Re-
 publican Platform.
 Washington, June 16-The poli- tical racket remains essentially the same from one decade to another but 1t is rather out of the ordinary to find each big party this year pre- senting Q candidate who was, as you might say, something bought in Q poke.
 It certainly veers 6 bit toward the quaint side when the republicans who have been believing their anguish these last couple of years over the sad fatc of a democratic party which elected @ president who disregarded his platform and deni- onStrated that the party had never known what he really, stood for, now discover themselves in Q pickle jar on the same shelf.
 Vague indeed were the 1882 public utteranceS of Franklin D, Roosevelt and even more vague also very scarce-were the pre- convention remarks of Ali Larl- don on national issues.
 Now, in somewhat the same manne: as Roosevelt took the democratic conservatives for . ride by introducing the New Deal but of course to . much lesser degree-Landon has fooled some of the powerful republican ele- ments by promptly broadening the party platform after It's adop- ton.
 He waited until his nomination was clnched before he took the party into lhS confidence. q
 The coy game goes on. Landon in recent months has astonished several eastern liberals who have visited him by private statements indicating an advanced progress sive point of view.
 These liberals have returned from Topeka reporting that he was for everything in the New Deal" and merely wanted the country to get 1t cheaper and more efficiently.
 As for Roosevelt, he has very definite ideas as to what he would like to do about the U. S. Supreme Court, whose decisions he feels are both political and reactionary. But he won't tell you what these ideas are.
