SENSATIONAL HIT
 AT STATE TODAY
"Three Men On A Horse" Has Great Csat Headed
 By Frank McHugh

The sensational hit "Three Men On A Horse" which as stage play is now well into It's second year on Broadway and still going strong and which has toured the country in seven road shows comes to the screen of Warner Brothers State theater today enthusiastically anticipated. There is @ grand cast headed by Waterbury's favorite, Frank McIiugh and Joan Blondell
 McHugh, whose faintly-queru- lous laugh and outlandish antics have made millions laugh for the last six years - is cast as Erwin (pronounced Oiwin) - timid and hen-pecked writer of greeting cards who keeps to himself his weird gift of picking the winner in horse races. He has a book in which he notes his pro- gnostications and imaginary win- nings-until his wife finds 1t - and thinks he is two timing.
 Carol Hughes has the role of Oiwin's weepy wife.
 His boss, Carver--played by Guy Kibbee with bald and bland pom posity--has one day oredred Oiwin to do no less than fifty Mothers Day greeteing verses-before the noon whistle blows. To add to his distress, his wife, Audrey, has up- braided him for his stupidity-arld in desperation he hotfoots 1t to the gin mill of which Ed Kennedy is barkeep and bouncer =. to drown his troubles in drink.
 There fate overtakes him.
 At @ nearby table are three smalltime gamesters played with roughneck bravado by Allen Jen- kins, Teddy Hart and Sam Le- vene-- the latter two from the Broaway stage production. They are discussing the races - and the timid Oiwin dares to speak up and give them @ tip on the win- ner. They give him the laugh, and bet on their own fayorite,-- who loses. They realize Oiwin's uncanny gift after several other tries--and without asking his permission--imprison him. Joan, best girl of one of the boys, guards him.
 Then things begin to happen and audiences literally "roll-in-the- aisles" with laughter. There's a laugh in every minute of this rol. licking comedy 50 you won't want to miss minute of 1t and you'll probably want to see 1t twice.

Russia at the time indicated that their
study of the eclipse was only partially
completed.
In 1882, Dr. McNally, director Of
the Georgetown College Observatory,
headed a similar expedition in CO.
operation with the National Geo.
graphic Society to study the suns
eclipse at Freyeburg, Me. 1t was a
distinct success and DR.. McNally's

NEW DANz|G LAWS
STRIKE NAz| FOES
Constitution Virtually Set
Aside-PoIes, Indignant,
Appeal to Warsaw.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FREE CITY OF DANZIG, July 1s
DIR. Arthur Karl Greiser, President
o. the Danzig Senate, by a series Of
administrative decree, today virtual
ly set aside the free city's consti-
tuition.
In keeping with his threat Of July
to crush opposition to the Danzig
Nazi party government without in
fringing the letter of the constitu-
ton, he nevertheless practically set
It aside.
Diplomatic circles were concerned
over the attitude to be taken by
Sean Lester, high commissioner for
the League Of Nations, and whether
Poland will object.
The sweeping DEGREES calculated
to crush opposition to the Danzig
Nazi party were published by the
government Of the free city.
Troops Asked at Warsaw.
Polish indignation at DR.. Greiser's
DEGREES vented itself in unofficial de-
mands by Polish residents that War
saw dispatch troops, or at least police,
to safeguard their constitutional
rights. 1t was the opinion of resi-
dent Poles the Danzig Senate by its
DEGREES transferred the Nazi conflict
with the League of Nations into one
with Poland.
These DEGREES. Ii made effective, are
held by the Polish element of the city
to be a clear violation of the free city's
constitution.
1t is understood High Commissioner
Lester, in a last attempt at concilia-
ton, will ask the Danzig Senate for
an explanation, rather than report
Immediately to the League. Whatever
he may decide to do, however, the
Poles OF Danzig declared they want
to take no chances and hence are ap-
pealing to Warsaw for aid. DR.. Greisers
orders, they said, affect them as a
Polish minority quite as adversely as
does German opposition to Nazi-ism.
Officials Surprised.
The DEGREES surprised Lester and
DR.. Casimir Papee, Polish envoy to
Danzig. Only 10 days ago DR.. Greiser
assured DR.. Papee he would not vio-
late the constitution.
Poland contends the Danzig con-
stitution is an integral part of its
status and that this status cannot be
changed by unilateral action.

SUBSIDIES STUDIED.
TO A[LAY DROUGHT.
Soil Conservation Act May
Be Probed in Hunt
for Authority.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A. A. A. officials said today that il
the drought continued to cut down
food and feed crops. they might seek
means of subsidizing agricultural prod
ucts of which there was an insufficient
supply.
Mastin G. White, Agriculture De-
partment solicitor, said thre was no
present need for subsidies. but that If
the drought were intensified, the A.
A. A. legal department probably would
search the soil conservation act in an
effort to find authority to compensate
expansion of farm commodities.
Wheat Purchase Approved.
Other drought developments during
the day included:
1. A. A. A. approval of the purchase
Of 100000 bushels of white wheat
from the Pacific Northwest for relief
distribution in drought areas.
2. Designation of SO additional coun-
ties in South Dakota, South Carolina,
Missouri and Arkansas for emerency
AoIl1lS, III AlS1llS IIle IOtdl hummer Oh
counties to 400 in Is States.
8, Orders to ship 1O8 carloads of
foodstuffs into Missouri for free dis
tribution to the destitute.
Authority in Section.
Meantime, White said, the nearest
approach to authority for national ad-
justment upward of crop production
appeared to be contained in the fifth
clause of section of the soil conserva-
tion act, which was substituted for the
original agricultural adjustment act.
Never invoked, the clause provides
for "re-esta ablishment, at as rapid rate
as the Secretary of Agriculture de-
termines to be practicable and in the
general public interest, of the ratio
between the purchasing power of the
net income per person on farms and
that Of the income per person not on
farms that prevailed during the five
year period August 1eO9-July 1914"
