HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 13. U.P)-
Dead-panned Greta Garbo, princi-
pal export of Sweden, astonished
Hollywood aborigines by dancing
the rhumba sitting down.
She accomplished the feat after
Bandleader Mickey Whalen dared
to violate deathly silence prevalent
on Garbo sets with the hot Latin
strains of "Negra Consentida."
For two days Whalen's musickers
had tootled muted music incidental
to filming a theater scene for
Camille" and between takes they
sat silent, twiddling their thumbs,
while stagehands pussyfooted about
their tasks, fearful of offending the
God awful Goodies Garbo.
Meanwhile Garbo sat long -jawed
and vacant-eyed beside sweating
Robert Taylor in a second tier box
waiting for electricians to relight
the set, and the musicians grew
more restive by the minute
Here a horn footed, there a string
twanged. and Whalen shifted from
one foot to the other. Finally, un.
able to stand it longer, he faced
about, flicked his baton, and filled
the stage with thunderous Cuba
Libre."
Glrbo bounced to her feet like
the opening of folding ruler, and
her jaw dropped as if she were
about to speak. Then a husky,
rasping noise impinged upon the
music The Swedish Sphinx"
laughing.
She subsidized in her seat, and
marvelling grips" observed her
head begin to bob, her feet to
stamp, and her body to squirm
rhythmically in time to the music.
When the number endlad the
Great Garbo applauded noisily, and
relayed two requests to Whalen by
way of her maid, Clara. The or
chestra played "Siboney,' and La
Clmpancita," while Garbo danced
some more.
And speaking of Garbo, Reuben
Mamoulian has just been presented
with a state traffic officers star
by Arizona Traffic Superintendent
C. r. Mcdowell who arrested the
director for speeding in February,
1884, during Mamoulian's famous
motor trip with Garbo, which
caused an overnight sprouting of
romance rumors.

BOY MAYOR, II,
GIVES ADVICE
TOLAGUARDIA

and he 1Uho oiues a child a home
builds palaces in Kingdom Come"
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Father
Edward j. Flanagan came to New
York yesterday and with him he
brought the youngest mayor in the
world-Daniel Kampan, IT, chief
executive of the incorporated vii
lage of Boys Town, Neb.
Like many another visiting
mayor, Daniel made a beeline for
the city hall. There he met Mayor
LaGuardia. And what the mayor
of Boys Town said to the mayor
of the big town was:
snow let me tell you about our
budget"
The budget for Boys Town was
$150,000 this year. The budget for
New York city is over $3.50, 900 900.
Mayor Kampan and Mayor La.
Guardia chatted about their jobs.
Both Have Headaches
Commenting on his conference
with the blonde and good looking
Mayor Kampan, LaGuardia said:
"The mayor and I have ex-
changed credentials and we've
about decided that the job Of
mayor isn't what it's cracked up
to be. Take the budget for
instance-that's what gives us
headaches"
In the background, smiling
gently and his eyes serious and
kindly behind rinless spectacles
stood Father Flanagan.
Just as Boys Town Is his crea-
tion, the work of one man over
a period of a quarter Of a century,
so in a way is the 17-year-old
Daniel the product Of Father
Flanagan's efforts.
oMIIO no EoSqO
He founded Boys Town ten
miles out of Omaha in 1917, when
he rented a house and established
five boys in it, three Of them from
reformatories. AS he remarked to-
day:
"If you get the boys off the
streets you can stem the tide Of
crime. No one wants to be a
criminal. 1t is the lack Of Op-
portunity which makes bad
men,"
In establishing Boys Town.
Father Flanagan offered boys an
opportunity to study and learn
useful trades and professions. To-
day the incorporated village Of
Boys Town is a model of its kind.
1t covers 800 acres and has its
own postoffice. There are several
score buildings in the town which
has 275 boy citizens.
Have No Police
These boys each year elect their
own mayor and six commissioners
and run their own courts. They
have no police department.
The incumbent mayor was
elected by a vote of 1865 to ITO.
He represented the Help Boys
Town Party. His opponent repre-
sented the Build Boys Town Party.
The distinction between the two
parties is fine one so far as plat
forms go. Mayor Kampan had the
edge on his opponent because he
is captain of the football team, a
basketball player and good public
speaker.
On his first visit to New York,
Mayor Kampan gulped a couple Of
times when he saw the skyline.
Then he decided to act dignified,
as befits town executive. He says:
NATURALLY 1 hope to go to col
lege and 1 want to study law.
Mayor LaGuardia's all right and
/ think I'd like to go into
politics. Right now, though, I'm
pretty anxious to get back to my
town. We've got a champion
ship football game coming up on
Thanksgiving Day. Our teams
unbeaten and we're going to
play the Omaha High School
team, which hasn't been de.
feated this season, either. 1t

RAIL FARE DELAY
MEETS OPPOSITION
Association of Railroad and
Utilities Commissioners
Against Eastern Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Vigorous opposition to a move by
Eastern railroads TO postpone the
June 2 effective date of an Interstate
Commerce Commission order reduc-
ing passenger fares was expressed
today by the National Association of
Railroad and Utilities Commissioners
In an answer to the petition Of
Eastern roads for an 16month delay
in applying the reduced rates, the
association criticized a plan by the
railroads to institute their own ''ex-
perimental" fares for 18 months.
Also urging the l. c. c. to enforce
its rate-slash order was Chairman
Wheeler Of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee. He contended
lower fares would increase traffic.
The I. C. G. ordered basic coach
fares reduced from SO to 2 cents
mile. Chief effect OF the order
would fall on Eastern roads, because
low fares already are in effect in the
West and South.
Success Depends on Mass.
Postponement of the commission
rates and substitution of a ascent
coach rate was asked by all major
eastern carriers except Baltimore g.
Ohio.
THE success of the fare-reduction
plan," the association answer said,
depends upon its appeal to the mass.
Unless it operates to bring back to
the railroad those to whom the cost
Is a determining factor in choosing
their method of travel the fare
reduction plan cannot succeed"
Saying "the appeal must be to
coach riders" the answer added that
"a coach fare of 25 cents will not
sufficiently appeal to them to make
the new plan success"
Upon all the evidence" it con-
tinued, "the commission has found
that two-cent coach fare will be
more productive than any higher
fare"
In its order the commission pre-
scribed rate of three cents a mile
in Pullmans. The eastern roads an
AOuIlCco t1ldt ILLS Idte WOulQ DC aC-
cepted.
Wheeler said he was informed the
roads recently had a meeting at New
York with a view to getting the
I. c. c. to back down on its order.
Wheeler's Plea.
II hope the commission will not
back down." wheeler said. "It stood
five to four with reference to the re-
duction order and if some one of the
five changed it probably would re-
verse the decision.
wherever the railroads have re-
duced their fares they have increased
their traffic. While in some instances
I understand it has not increased
their net revenue, as business picks
up it is bound to increase revenue.
THE people want to travel. They
would rather travel on trains than
busses and would rather ship freight
by rail than by truck, but prohibitive
rates have made it impossible.
"It is to the credit of the Baltimore
& Ohio that it was willing to accept
the right attitude and proper spirit"
The commission Is expected to de.
eide this week whether to stand pat
on its order.

and the assurance of prompt relief
action by the national government
helped dispel unrest today among the
5000 inhabitants of Tia Juana, Mex
ican border town.
Twelve hundred soldiers, who kept
the city under virtual martial law
yesterday. discontinued street patrols
today, but were ready at their bar
racks in case of an emergency.
Unemployed laborers, who voiced
threats at mass meeting Monday
night to sever ties with Mexico and
set up an Independent state in the
northern district of Lower California,
received government rations.
On the American side of the border,
Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales, exiled for

with Tia Juana's unrest. Gen. Jose
Maria Tapia, former Governor of
Lower California, was believed en-
route here for conference with
Gales after Punishment from Mexico
