HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 15. = If it's a good scene without dia- logue, it's good scene.'
 That is a simple rule. and it is one that George Marshall puts high on his list of things a movie director should work for it. It is a rule that dates back obviously, to silent pic- ture training, and Marshall, who has built quite a reputation for tempo and pace in direction, halls from that school.
 He started out with such veterans as Frank Lloyd, Frank Burrage and Harold Lloyd at the old Universal studios. Like them, he learned through experience that one picture is worth thousand words, and he practices today what he breaches. Let discipline be the embroidery on the picture pattern. Don't say something when you can show it and don't say it six times when once is enough"
 He and his writing partner" La mar Trotti, are engaged in a con- stant war on excess dialogue. The director sits in with the writer dur ing the evolution of the story. and the result is that Marshall can have his direction planned well in ad- vance of the actual starting date.
 Alwdys Reuising
 But no matter how good a script a director is handed says Marshall, T believe there will always be a certain amount of rewriting on the set. Scenes that sound well in story conference, scenes we think we are going to play well often don't. It may be because the character. in the playing, has built up into some thing different, or because the par ticular scene may not be suited to the actors interpretation of the character. You can't tell those things in advance-if you could you might not need a director. You could hand anybody an iron-clad script and tell him to follow it and you'd get your picture. But you'd lose all those things that pop up spontaneously on the set. and they include some of the best items in many pictures
 In his recent film, "The Crime of Dr. Forbes Marshall cited one in stance of a "spontantous" happen ing that added to the film. The op- ening sequence showed youth run ming across the college campus with a skeleton.
 Scene Gets Laugh
 In the next scene the medical fra- ternity boys were to celebrate the passing of tests. While setting up" for the scene was in progress, the orchestra played to while away time, and one of the boys seized the skeleton and started a fox trot. Marshall had him do it inl the scene, and it got laughs.
 Another thing" he says, when you've worked on pictures long time and you can tell when thel pace is beginning to lag. The pie ture is going along fine, at good

Battleship weight is now such a fine science, officers add, that the number of officers and crew to be carried is set in advance and 1000 pounds each estimated for every mans weight, clothes, baggage, and his proportion of food and water carried.
 So precise is that weighing-in, the Navy's experts declared, that if it were possible to hoist the com pleted battleship on a gigantic scale it would balance the pointed at 35,000 tons.
 Large By Necessity
 Why 35,000 tons?
 The United States has no big na- val bases scattered around the world-as Great Britain and other nations have-and it would there fore be impossible for an American battleship to put into port for fuel, water, food or other supplies in an emergency.
 To overcome that handicap the American Navy adopted the rule long ago to build its battleships so that they would be, as far as pos sible, self-sustaining.
 Battleships are also "the back bone of the fleet" and must be ca pablo of standing up against the warships of any other nation in an emergency. Other nations have battleships with 16-inch guns that

Bu LLOYD LEHBRAS

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS. = Did you ever try to weigh a battle ship?
 The one known fact concerning the two battleships to be built by the United States Navy, beginning soon after January 1, is that they will be of precisely 33,000 tons dis placement.
 That tonnage figure means, Navy officers explain that when the battleship is launched and placed in commission, loaded down with all the mechanical gadgets mod ern fighting ship must have, it will displace the equivalent of 35,O00 tons of water, and also weigh that number of tons of 2,240 pounds each
 Count All Weights
 The steel framework and plates, engines, boilers, armor, guns, wires, electric lights, kitchen equipment, everything that goes into the manufacture of a battleship = is weighed or its weight known, while the warship of the future is still nothing more than sketch or a blueprint.
 The standard displacement of 35,O00 tons permitted by the Lon- don naval pact-includes everything except extra water for the boilers and fuel.

HUGE BEAR TRAPS TURNED OVER TO
 GAME COMMISSION

Frank Dufresne, Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission, has recently received ten huge bear traps from the vicinity of Haines and Klukwan. The traps are steel jawed vicious affairs, weighing as much as forty-five pounds each, with teeth of more than an inch in length. They are quite capable of mangling, crushing, and infecting mans leg to such an extent that amputation, if not death would be inevitable.
 Use of steel traps having more than a nine-inch spread of jaws has been prohibited under the AL aska Game Laws for several years and it is not believed that traps of the kind recently received by MT DuFresne are being used to any great extent. The Game Commis- sion does receive reports from time to time of such traps in the woods, however, and are making a diligent effort, through education and dem onstration of the danger of this use, in induce the owners of bear traps to turn them over to the game wardens for destruction, of- ficials said.
 The traps recently received were all voluntarily turned over tn a game warden by native and local residents of Haines and Klukwan, while the warden was making routine patrol through that district. Some of them may be seen in the windows of the Juneau Young Hardware.
 The warden making the patrol through the Haines district reports game to be fairly plentiful, and lit- tie indication of serious violations.

hurl gigantic shells 2G miles pr more, and an Ameilcan battleship must, therefore, carry arnsor oi a thickness to protect it against eae- my shells of that celi5re.
 To carry the enormous weight of such armor the ships must be big and sturdy. Vessels of 35.000 tons, officers say, are of the size-and therefore of the weight-to meet the American idea of an efficient bat tleship
 The biggest American battleships at the present time are the New Mexico and Idaho (33,400 tons)
 Japanese Plans
 The British navys Hood-a bat tleship cruiser-boasts 42,100 tons, while nine of the British battle ships proper are 3l,Oo0 tons and over.
 The British have announced that, immediately after expiration of ex- isting treaties on January 1, they will begin construction of two new 35,000 ton battleships.
 The Japanese navy's pride-Mut- su and Nagato-are of 32,720 tons, while their seven other battleships are in the 29,000 ton category.
 Japan's plans to build four new ships-rumOred to range from 40,- 900 to 50,0O0 tons-are expected to be announced officially after Jan uary 1.

Reich Selects
Jewish Star
NaziS and Jews Indignant
as Athlete Accepts
Olympic Berth.

By United Press
DERLIN, Feb. 5.-Selection of
- Rudi Ball, Jewish ice hockey
star, as member of the German
Olympic team aroused strong indig-
nation throughout Germany today
among Nazis and Jews.
None, however, dared vent fury
publicly because selection Of Ball by
Reich Sportsleader Hans Won
Tschammer Und Osten came only
after he obtained the consent of
highest party authorities.
Both factions privately expressed
disgust-the Nazi because Ball is
Jewish and the Jews because Ball
accepted.
Because of his non-Aryan descent,
Ball was ousted from the German
team in 1888. Since then he played
with Swiss and Italian teams. An
excellent forward, he probably is
the best player on the German team.
His reinclusion on the national
team became known to the public
only when the official entry list
was announced.

Hitler to Open Officially
Germany'S First Games
Tomorrow.
BY FREDERICK OECHSNER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Germany, Feb. 5.-Germany plays
host tomorrow to its first Olympic
games in history.
AT II a. M, Reichsfuehrer Adolf
Hitler will officially open the fourth
Winter Oiympiad in this snow-cov-
cred village at the foot of the Ba-
varian Alps-the forerunner of the
summer games to be held in Berlin
in August.
Heavy SHOWS during the past "a
hours today heartened officials who
had feared that lengthy thaws
would force postponement. The
snow, ranging from five to is inches,
enabled contestants from % nations
to go through final workouts in
preparation for the games which will
last until Feb. 16.
Americans Check In
Among the last competitors to ar
rive here were the American speed
skaters, technology players and
figure skaters. They all checked in
yesterday and joined in the first
general workout held here by all
competitors.
Only athletes who were urlable
to work out yesterday were the
bobsledders. The bob-run, which
must first be packed hard and
frozen, still is not in condition for
USE Colder weather is expected to
put the course in shape for final
tune-ups on Friday, the day before
the first sleighing competition be-
gins.
Yankees Oppose Germans
The games will open tomorrow
with four hockey games. America
will play Germany in one match.
The other pairings are: Canada
Poland, Hungary Belgium and
Sweden-Japan.
Several minor casualties were re-
ported after yesterdays practice.
None, however, involved any of the
American squad, which is reported
generally as being in good condition.
Richard Durrance, American
skier who perfected his technique
in this very town, still is suffering
with an ankle injury sustained Last
week, He hopes, however, that
twice-daily treatments win enable
him to start competition on Friday.
