HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 24.- Ordinarily the girls and boys who take a stars place on the set while camera and lights are being ad- justed fer a scene have little hope for fame on their own. But Anya Taranda is one "stand-in" Wh- stands chance for stardom.
 Anya, a provocative blonde re- miniscent of Claudette Colbert and Sylvia Sidney but very individual is a Goldwyn contractee standing in for Merle Oberon on These Three for the experience.
 She is New York-born of Russian parents, became a "Goldwyn Girl'' after posing for commercial photog raphy, and is considered by the producer as definitely star of the future.
 Anya has had several screen tests with Francis X. Shields. the tennis star-movie actor, which might in- dicate a film team. But romanti- cally her real-life interest is Harold Arlen, her songwriter fiance.
 Una's Vacation
 Una Merkel, home from her first real vacation in seven years, recom- mends staying in Hollywood fol actors who want to rest.
 New York was wonderful she says, and she enjoyed seeing friends shows and people-but there was no time for rest and quiet so she came home bit weary, like most vacationers.
 Luppee Bupien is French-Can- adian actress. In Joe E. Browns Sons O Guns" her main job is to tutor Joan Blondell in the French accent. They go into huddle be- fore each of the Blondell scenes.
 This "accenting' is becoming quite business. William Aston of Pelican, La, brought his drawl to Hollywood and it kept him from winning roles for himself. But he found job nevertheless: he in- structs the Los Angeles Negro bit players of The Green Pastures in the dialect of their brothers of the Sn,ItbeYp bavni1S

'DRUNKS' LAID
TO RELIEF IN
MARYLAND

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 5.
immortality, drunkenness and lazi.
ness have been fostered by unem-
ployment relief in Maryland, a re-
port of the State Survey Commis-
sion to the legislature today said.
The commission, headed by j.
Cookman Boyd, investigated a to-
tai of 1900 cases and found 1889
to be dubious; they found 155 re-
ceiving too much relief money or
having sufficient private income;
1874 persons getting relief checks
gave fraudulent addresses; 220
were found using relief checks to
further immortality and drunken
ness; SCI were found to be owners
of real estate; 1877 to be the own
ers of automobiles; IL claimed not
to have received any relief money
when the records showed they did.
One colored man getting relief
checks gave as his address a
street car barn in Baltimore.
Another could not be located at
the address to which his checks
were sent and it was learned that
he lives out of town and comes
in only to get his check.
The report said the commission
had found that once a person got
on relief they became thoroughly
satisfied with the condition and
made no effort to obtain employ
ment. The report recommended
a real house cleaning on both re-
lief rolls and administration.
AS Senator Coad announced he
will keep the Senate in session Fri
day and Saturday in an effort to
get the relief legislation under
way, the present relief Set-up was
branded as racket" by Senator
Harold E. Coburn, CD of Cecil
county.
Declaring that his constituents
desired to put an e nd to tn e
spending of State funds for relief
purposes, Senator Coburn moved
that the Senate djourn tn e
special session sine die, asserting
there is ample money on hand to
pay the old-age pensions. He also
urged that the present gross re-
ceipts tax, which now raises re-
lief funds, be allowed to die a
natural death when it expires next
month.
Senator Coburn'S motion to ad-
journ failed for lack of second,
and on motion of Senator Ridgely
P. Melvin CD of Anne Arundel
county, the Senate agreed to limit
legislation at this session to re-
lief, the question of the Cover
nor'S Mansion project and any
emergency" matters which may
arise.

Nv JoHN DEAN MILLIGAN

BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
One of the principal reasons ad.
vanced for the construction of
subways in downtown Washing.
ton is the resulting elimination of
many Of the traffic tie-ups, and
consequent delays, in trolley trans
portation.
Many a street car patron, either
unable to board a car or waiting
impatiently in a stalled car, has
excoriated the Capital Transit
Company without realizing that
the trouble is often beyond the
company's control.
Many the Causes
The causes include such pranks
Of nature as winds blowing trees
or debris across tracks and snow
piling so high in the conduits
beneath the tracks that ice forms
on the third rail-" effectively pre-
venting electricity from getting to
the motors of street cars.
Other causes are accidents,
which frequently cause long lines
of trolleyS to remain idle, trouble
in the conduitS difficult to remedy
Immediately because of inacces-
sibility, parades and funerals, and
stalled automobiles on the tracks.
All these difficulties, harmful to
street car service, are due to the
fact that the lines are on the sur
face. Placed underground, the
trolleys would proceed more
safely, swiftly and regularly.
Another difficulty, experienced
during the rush hours in the
morning and evening, is the
slowness and uncertainty of
trolley transportation because Of
the unusual number of automo
biles and pedestrians competing
for space.
Obstacles In Way
Subways would cure the prob
lem.
Most observers agree that
underground routes would solve
much of the Districts traffic
problem, decrease the number of
accidents and provide better
transportation.
Having agreed on that point,
however. the experts split on such
questions as placement and
length of the tubes, and their
cost.
They also disagree-and this
problem is one of the keys to
the absence of any real study of
the subway situation to date-on
who should pay for the necessary
research and construction.

Subw1yS in the District of Colunl-
biG 1DiH appear tomorrow in The

Md. Senate Committee
Rejects Sales Tax

Caroline county is preparing a
bill which he plans to introduce
placing a floor tax Of 10 cents a
gallon on all liquor distilled in the
State.
Pointing out that approximate
ly 100000 gallons Of whisky
were shipped out of the State
last year, Senator Davis esti-
mated his measure would raise
$1,000,00 a year. OF this sum,
100000 would be devoted to the
old-age pension and the balance
to child welfare work.
Senator Milton VeaSey, of
Worcester county, is preparing a
bill calling for a tax on beer,
which at present is untaxed.
Mansion Row Brewing
The question of raising relief
funds has brought a sharp cleav-
age between legislators from
rural sections and those from
Baltimore city. Those from the
rural sections are opposed to a
Statewide levy for relief.
Another row over remodeling the
governors mansion is brewing. In
his address to the special session
yesterday. the Governor said he
will transmit a detailed report of
expenditures in the next few days.
Already $106, 900 has been spent on
the project, and an additional
100000 is needed to complete it.
Delegate James Broumel of Har-
ford, introduced a bill IN the
house calling for appointment Of
a committee of seven to investigate
the entire mansion transaction and
report back before any further ap-
preparation is made. This bill was
referred to the rules committee.

MOORE PUSHES
COUNTY PLAN

BETHESDA, Md, March s..
Advocating a change in the pres
ent method of government for the
suburban area of Montgomery
county, Charles S. Moore will ap-
pear before session Of the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation
here next Monday night to re-
quest immediate action on this
measure.
Mr.. Moore declared today that
the suburban area of the county
is now reaching the proportions
of a city and the regulations
drafted during the "horSe and
buggy" days are now inadequate.
While the possibility of obtain
ing action during the special seS-
sion of the State legislature, which
convened at Annapolis yesterday,
is very remote, Mr.. Moore will ask
the federation to place his reSolu-
ton up for emergency action in
the hope of having it included
among the measures recommended
to the general assembly for imme
diate action.
The suburban area of Montgom-
cry county adjacent to Washing
ton, is fast becoming more part
of Washington city than it is re-
naming a portion Of the county,
Mr.. Moore declared. and unless
measures are enacted by the legiS-
lature to provide for governing
this community serious complica-
tionS may arise.
The charter drafted for govern
ing the county is adequate for the
rural sections, but since the Wash
ington suburban area has proven
to be the logical section to receive
the expansion Of Washington, i'm
mediate steps should be taken by
the county's legislators to place
the county in a position to govern
in a modern method this expan-
sion, he said.
In addition to this, the fedora
ton will consider means of obtain
ing more adequate and modern
methods of bus transportation be-
tween GaitherSburg, Washington
Grove, Rockville and Washington.
The federation may consider
the proposal advanced by the
Bethesda Chamber of Commerce
in which the busses travelling out
Connecticut, Avenue will be re-
routed over Reno Road to Wis
consin Avenue, to Wisconsin Ave
nue. to Bradley Lane and the
East-West Highway and then to
Chevy Chase, Md.
This was advocated by the
chamber when the residents of
Chevy Chase blocked a move to
erect transfer terminal at
Chevy Chase Circle to provide
shelter for bus patrons wishing
to transfer to downtown Wash
ington buSSes.

ANNAPOLIS, March 5.-Gov.
Harry Nice's hopes for a short
session of the legislature, which
convened in special session yester-
day to take up the question OF
raising relief funds, seem e d
doomed today, with the senate
finance committe vetoing the
sales tax proposal.
Announcement Of the commit
tees vote was made last night by
Senator j. Allan Coad of st.
Marys County, chairman of the
committee, only a few hours after
the governor had urged adoption
of the tax.
Speedy Action Surprises
Although opposition to tn e
measure had been rolling up in all
parts Of the State, the speedy
action by the committee was not
expected and caused a great deal
of surprise.
The measure, with the unfavor,
able report would be returned to
the floor of the Senate when the
upper house meets today. and
then the battle will be on.
With relief funds practically ex
hausted, need for raising money is
urgent. The sales tax recommen
dation was made by the Casey
committee. which made a study
of the relief problem. and reported
that such a tax would raise about
$7,00G,000 a year.
The action of the senate com
mittee was unanimous, Senator
Coad said and it is expected the
Senate will vote approval today
leaving the legislature with nc
definite relief program.
