Upton Sinclair, the chastened So

entitled Coop" in which Mr..
Roosevelt is a leading character,
apparently after that will come
the deluge.
What Mr.. Wallace suspects, but
does not say, is that another de-

BY MARK SULLIVAN.

THOSE whose job is to interpret
events at Washington have
been watchfully curious for
about three weeks past. There
are signs which might be interpreted
as meaning that President Roosevelt
has changed his direction in a de-
cidedly important way. The signs
consist mainly Of apparent emphasis

PEGLEG CAUGHT
AFTER ATTEMPT
TO ENTER u. S.

d Entering the United States
through a hole in the fence near
CaleXico proved to be a futile adj
venture for Alfonso Mention, 43, a
pegleg Mexican. He was deported
Immediately.
He was arrested by immigration
officers Immediately after his en-
trance into the land of the free and
subjected to questioning and search.
The name Natividad Saucedo Smith,
70, and her street address were
written on a piece of paper found
in Montion's pocket.
Officers arrested Mrs. Smith and
Rosa Flores, 35, on the streets of
Calexico because they suspected
them of smuggling the Mexican
across the line. Investigation re-
vealed that they had not done SO,
however, and they were released.
Mention told immigration In
spectors John Giles and Ernest E.
Stone that he was born in La Paz,
Mexico, but later was made a citizen
of the United States. After he lost
his leg in an automobile accident
in Fresno in 1927. he decided to
return to Mexico for a visit. He
stayed too long, was declared an
alien and refused permission to re-
turn. He said he had made un-
remitting efforts to get his citizen
ship restored but always failed.

Fire Department
Trouble Settled

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 16. (U.P)-
Phoenix muddled fire depart
ment situation appeared today to
have been ssttled amicably, with
Chief Frank S. Cochrane slated
to remain in that post.
The row was precipitated several
weeks ago when the city commits
sion removed Cochrane and ap-
pointed Capt. lie. Dawson. Prompt
ly, fire insurance companies raised
premiums here 80 per cent.
The council demanded thor
ough investigation by the national
board of fire underwriters, and fol-
lowing a conference, it was agreed
to allow Cochrane to remain and
for other high-ranking officials
of the department to forget their
differences" which at one time
were so bitter that Cochrane's Or
ders to his deputy chief and as
sistant chief were relayed through
other persons as the men were not
speaking to each other.

Str0llS Thru HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 16. U,P)-
Succumbing to the all-America
picking vice, Eleanor Powell, bronze
haired film hoofer, names her
selections for the five worlds
greatest" tapdancers.
Powell nominasos.
Bill Robinson, Negro who never
took a lesson in his life, because
he is the grandfather of tapdanc-
ing"
Fred Astaire, because he is No.
"stylist."
Ginger Rogers, because "she
mixes gracefulness with a super
lative amount of charm"-What-
ever that means.
Ray Bolger, because he's the most
eccentric, and Eleanor Whitney,
because she's the fastest.
Powell modeStly refrains from
naming herself, but since she has
been widely touted as top Taper
her nominations are probably not
for the 'five worlds greatest but
for the five next greatest.
1t is easy to pick a quarrel with
her team. since she has merely
chosen current box office tops
among dancers, apparently without
any recourse to other standard of
ability.
At random, a few names con-
spicuously absent which are hard
to laugh off in any league are
Paul Draper, Ruby Keeler, and
Charles Collins.
Further, the Powell all-America
suffers from the malady of all all
Americas-the Selector just hasn't
seen all possible selectees.
BY her own estimate there are
no less than $4,000 professional
tap-dancers in the United States,
and probably at least four times
that many amateurs.
But it goes to show what a men,
ace tapdancing has become.

Simone Simon, imported bundle
of French temperament, has been
withdrawn from Warner BaXter's
white Hunter" after a weeks
shooting, and will be replaced by
June Lang.
Studiomen say its really influ-
enza this time. Simon was similar
ly withdrawn because of illness"
from Under Two Flags" last
winter, and replaced by Claudette
Colbert, who cleaned up in the
part. Looks like a break for Lang.
Admirers of the late Rudyard
Kipling better brace themselves
for this one. The British writer's
"Wee Willie Wrinkle" has been
purchased by Goth Century-Fox
for picture purposes, and who do
you suppose is to play 'Wee Will

Temple!

has been slightly lower than that
for Brawley and for Calexico and
Nance is inclined to believe that
this decrease is due to summer
playground activities inaugurated
in Ell Centro. The type of chill
dren involved in juvenile delin-
quency are those who do not, as
a rule, get away for the summer
and as result the summer play
ground program is, in Nance's
opinion, of benefit in combating
crime.
The juvenile home at Imperial
has been well crowded. during the
entire summer with the cases which
have come before the probation Of
ficer.
The county office is following
the policy Of returning where pos
sible the Juveniles to their home,
