Senator George w. Norris, veteran Ne
braska Republican Independent, today
was named a candidate for reelection
with the filing in the Secretary of
States Office of petition bearing 40,-
504 signatures on his behalf.
Norris, rs, has expressed desire to
retire, but his friends said they believed
he will make the race. The Senator
is at his Summer camp in Wisconsin
and no comment from him was imme-
diately available.
Nebraska law does not require ac-
ceptance of the petitions by the candi-
date, so Norris automatically becomes
a candidate. The petitions were filed
by James E. Lawrence, Lincoln editor,
as chairman Of a bipartisan Norris
for Senator Committee. Only 1000
were needed.
Norris will 60 into the campaign
with Democratic support ranging up
to President Roosevelt, who publicly
indorsed the movement to re-elect
him. His opponents will be Robert
G. Simmons Of Lincoln, Republican,
and Terry Carpenter Of Scots Bluff,
Democrat. Both are former Repre-
sentatives from Scots Bluff.
Carpenter, a Townsend plan can
didate, was repudiated by the Demo-
cratic State convention after the

S.-ReichSchancellor Adolf Hitler to-
day proclaimed a four-year program,
embracing aggressive colonial de-
mands, aimed at the goal of making
Germany economically independent of

The proclamation, sounded suddenly
before 100000 Nazis assembled in

German exports, but the details were
not disclosed in the proclamation,
which was read by Adolf Wagner, the
Bavarian Nazi leader.

Praising at length the industrial and
economic achievements of his regime,
Der Fuehrer pointed with pride to his

Clamorous applause greeted the
reading Of this section of the procla-

GENEVA EXPULSION
: ORDER IS REVERSED
Swiss Council Upholds Appeal Of
8 Italian Newspaper Men,
Charging Violations.

ey the Associated Press.
BERNE, Switzerland, September O.
The Swiss Federal Council voided
today the expulsion of eight Italian
newspaper men from Geneva last
July for creating a disturbance dur
ing the appearance of Emperor Halle
Selassie before the League of Nations
Assembly.
The Federal Council reversed the
expulsion order voted by the Geneva
Council Of State and upheld the ap-
peals of the newspaper men. The
ruling was made on the ground the
Geneva action violated treaties be-
tween Italy and Switzerland.
The Italians were charged with
"creating a scandal during the Assem-
bly, of the League of Nations for an
outrage toward a government (Ethi-
opia) accredited to the Swiss Fed
eration."
They hooted and shouted when the
Negus arose to address the Assembly
June 80. Police were called to restore
order in the League session, which
continued after the hecklers were
ousted from the hall. Later the
Italians were sent from the country
by special train after the Geneva
Council had considered the case.

the same as in general election, re-
turns from about half the State showed
1851 voting for Democratic candi-
dates for nomination for Governor
and 44,795 balloting for Republican
aspirants.
Candidates of both the Townsend
organization and the Commonwealth
Federation, which advocates produc-
ton for use, trailed Gov. Clarence
D. Martin for the Democratic nom
ination for Governor. Former Gov.
Roland H. Hartley appeared to be
assured of the Republican guberna-
torial nomination.
Almost 1000 Ahead.
Martin polled 69,542 votes in 1923
out of 1855 precincts to 62,715 for
John c. Stevenson, Commonwealth
Federation candidate, and 28,106 for
Otto Case, State treasurer and key
noter at the Townsend Cleveland con-
vention. Hartley, with 24,589 votes,
was leading his nearest opponent
to l.
To be sure of representation in the
November election if Stevenson lost,
a Commonwealth Federation conven-
tion yesterday nominated Howard
Costigan for Governor.

Federation plan envisions taking over
idle establishments for operation by

with fine understanding, provid-
ing the right touch of heroics and
giving it all of the breathless melo-
dramatic excitement which made
it such a memorable interlude in
the footlight versions.
The death scene, too, one of the
finest ever written, was superbly
played by the two principals. Gar
bo spares us the coughing par
oxysms with which most actresses
are fond of adorning the role, yet
provides the scalding pathos of a
heart yearning for the clasp of her
lovers arms. These scenes, and
in the more romantic tete-a-tetes
that precede them. are endowed
with both warmth and fervor by
the M-G-M stars.
GOOD SUPPORT
An exceptionally fine support
ing cast is seen in the major roles.
There are Jessie Ralph, Lionel Bar

Daniel, Lenore Uric and Laura
Hope Crews playing featured parts.
Particularly did like the Olympic
of Miss Uric, who has been pho
tographed to bring out her bru-
nette allure and has a brief fling
at the can-can which displays
plenty of animation. Laura Hope
Crews was guilty of violent over
acting.
The direction of George Cukor

the period costumes and settings
seemed especially attractive. Ca

Tibbett Sono
At RioIto

It is Lawrence Tibbett week at
the Rialto Theater where his new
picture Under Your Spell" opened
yesterday.
What would have been a very
ordinary and uninspired produc-
ton has been saved from obScurity
by Lawrence Tibbett, who is far
and away superior to the story
that has been constructed around
his magnetic singing voice.
Not only does Tibbett sing we'll,
which is to be expected, but he
handles most capably the scenes
that call for comedy or romance
or both. Thus the result is a
pleasing combination.
Tibbett's range of music in the
picture appears to be one selected
for as wide an audience appeal
as possible.
From Gounod'S "Faust" to the
popular tunes and lyrics of Arthur
Schwartz and Howard Dietz is a
large gap to bridge musically, but
it is to Tibbett'S credit that he
does span it without losing sight
of his perspective. The title song
is especially tuneful.
Supporting Tibbett in romance
is Wendy Barrie, a spoiled society
girl; in comedy, Arthur Treacher,
who is excellent as the valet, and
Gregory Ratoff, who likewise is
excellent in the role of Tibbett'S
manager.

"Go|d Diggers Of 1887" Opens
At the EQrIe TheQter

Gaiety is the keynote Of War
ner Brothers Earle program cur
rently. In accord with the spirit
of the Yuletide, there are scores
Of entertainers on both stage and
screen whose aim and ambition Is
to please you and they all succeed
admirably.
"Golddiggers Of 1887" is the
screen attraction and carries such
well-known names as Joan Blon-
dell, Dick Powell, Victor Moore
and Glenda Farrell.
This is one Of those spectacu-
lar plays in which we are carried
into business offices. Atlantic
City hotels, Long Island garden
parties and back,stage, all because
an insurance salesman sells a mil
lion dollar policy to an oldish
man who fancies himself practic,
ally dead. If the plot seems a
little hackneyed, just forget that
in the antics Of Victor Moore, the
singing of Dick Powell, the eye
rolling Of Joan Blondell and the
sophistication of Glenda Farrell.
There are hundreds Of lovely
girls, some amusing tunes, some
humable tunes and some Warner
Brothers full stage sets, which are
truly gigantic.
FULL OF SONG
OF course, in the end, every
thing comes out on the up and up
and boy gets girl.
Lee Dixon, Osgood Perkins Che
of the expressive hands, and
Rosalind Marquis lend a hand to
round out the plot.
On the stage we find our old
friends, York and King, winning
chuckles from a good-hunored
crowd, putting just o tinge OF
questionable meaning into their
wise-crackS, but putting them over
with a grin and giggle. Sims and
Bailey sing and play old and new
tunes in pleasant manner: the
Royal Swedish Bell Ringers, a
quartet Of young men adept at get
ting music out of a variety of bells,
and Bob Ripa, an agile juggler
who does intricate things with
plates, balls and small, painted
sticks: these are your fun-makerS
for the holiday.

Coupled with a sophisticated mur-

the fare at Washington's most or
nate theater, is likely to furnish
satisfactory holiday entertainment.
Heralded as Rudy's second con-
coction, the feature appears to be
a "Tone-Poem," "All Points West" {"
headed by the orchestra leader
himself. A background of a train
gate, incidents which might be
connected with passengers depart
ing on the trains, are briefly pic
tured. Problematical whether the
skit which made it's initial opening
yesterday, will be ia S t-moving
enough in its present form to be
truly a hit. Cyril Smith who does
several representations, gets the
biggest applause, while Judy Starr,
Joe Doris, the Bernards and the

SCl.EEN PROGRAM
Sinner Take All" is adapted
from a novel by Whitman Cham
bers and is a newspaper murder
drama which has action, speed and
suspense, nicely bolstered with
night life background. Bruce Ca
bot is a refreshing reporter who
covers the case, finds the real cul-
prit, and gets the girl. Margaret
Lindsay is adequate as the girl,
Lorraine, though her role largely
makes use of her good looks rather
than any acting ability. Joseph
Calleia is excellent as night club
operator, and Vivienne Osborne,
Stanley Ridges. Charlie Grapewin.
and Edward Pawley complete the
cast.
Balancing the program Phil
Lampkin presents as an overture
selections from a number of SYM
phonic movements, which supple
mented by news reel, completes
the holiday program. H. K.
