HOLLYWOOD, Sept. II CUP)-
Mary Astor. the girl who never in
tends to write another diary SO
long as she lives, labored in the
dust and the cobwebs of the Bilt-
more theater stage here today, re-
hearsing Tonight At $780,, Noe
Cowards latest play cycle.
Her new husband. Manuel De-
Campo, was supposed to be in the
show, too, but the equity wouldn't
let him. The Actors association has
a rule that foreigners can't paly on
the American stage in more than
one show every six months. Young
Del Campo, a Mexican, had part
a couple of months ago, SO he'll be
out front when his bride has her
premiere here Monday night.
Miss Astor, who is trying to for
get the super sensational divorce
proceedings in which she was in
volved last year, was sitting on a
rickety chair on the stage, when We
arrived, practicing her part in Still
Life, one of the nine brief plays,
included in the Coward opus.
She had on lipstick, but no rouge
She wore blue slacks and sort OF
MILDLY blouse with a white collar
on it and she was working harder,
she said, than ever she had in
the films.
She has curly hair, with red
dish tinge, blue eyes which sparkle,
and the whitest teeth we ever saw
outside of a toothpaSte ad. She also
has a nice smile and an air OF
cordiality-so long as the subject
is confined to the theater-and
somehow We can't much blame her
for not wanting to discuss divorce
courts and diaries and likes.
The show will play here for a
week. Then it will go to San Fran
cisco, Sacramento, Salt Lake City,
Denver, Muskogee, Ell Paso, Fort
Worth, Dallas. Chicago. and a lot
of other places before it winds up
in Philadelphia, 20 weeks later.
Miss Astor's performance pro-
badly will be an on-again- Off
again one, because of her contract
to Columbia pictures.
And l don't know when they'll
ask me to quit this show and come
back to the studio" she said. "As
far as | know, they have no story
ready now. but I may have to
rush back to Hollywood any old
time"
The Misses Estelle Winwood and
Helen Chandler therefore are ready
to take Miss Astor's place, when, as
and if the movies claim her.

Another young lady, about Miss
Astors size, also is having studio
worries, only considerably more
serious She is Miss Frances Lang
ford, who up and told Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer to go sit on a tack.
That wasn't diplomatic, because
the studio suspended her, and now

BLACK-DRAUGHT
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By Rev. Charles E. Dunn
By Rev. Charles E. Dunn

New life in Christ.
Lesson for Jan. 10th. John B.
1-l7.
Golden Text: John 3:3.
There are three characteristic
words in the gospel of John, Light,
Love, and Life. The book assures
us that Jesus is the Light of the
world (chap. S:12). We are at
once reminded of Holman Hunts
famous painting, "The Light Of
the World" depicting the Master
knocking on a door long shut. Will
we open the door? Will we admit
the Light?
And John also teaches that the
climax of Jesus message is Love.
Consider that familiar verse in our
lesson text, John 3:l6, which Lu-
Their so aptly called the %"little gos-
pei" Or urn to John 1912 where
Jesus urges his disciples to love one
another even as He has loved them.
But we are especially interested
in the third key word, Life, for our
lesson is entitled, "New Life in
Christ" Johns gospel opens with
the assurance that Tin him was
life," and it closes with the hope
that believing, ye may have life
through his name" And in between
we read such declarations as II am
the bread of Life" II am come
that they might have life," II am
the resurrection and the life"
What does John mean? He is
telling us that life in its full reality
is given to us here and now thru
the living Christ. We do not neet

eliminate the present threat OF

imports.
Launching the government on a
new course Of credit control, the
program aims to make automatic
adjustments in the supply of lenda-
bic funds to prevent foreign capital

back to the banks after the holiday
season..
Because reserves are far in excess
of the credit needs of business, the
administration has been concerned
lest the idle money might go into
speculation.
This would artificially elevate
security prices and might speed up
the domestic economic machine too
rapidly, entailing the danger of a
crash. Excess reserves have been
forced constantly higher in recent
months by foreign capital inflows.

to wait, for example, until we die
before we can enjoy eternal life.
tor heaven is now available this
side of the grave. Death does not
alter in any fundamental way the
ever flowing current of divine life.
The resurrection takes place in this
present world when men are born
again, and it is this new birth
which carries them from spiritual
death into a new life impaired by
a living Person.
So our Golden Text, "Unless a
man is born again he cannot see
the Kingdom of God," is of central
importance. The destiny of man
hangs upon it.

groups of vets favoring liquor
control are unable to get together.
If the county control group in
the east stands pat, as it already has
announced it will, and refuse to
approve anything but a continual
ton of the county control plan, it
can effectively and effectually de-
feat any effort to adopt a state
county control plan, most political
observers here readily agree. But
the state control group and the
drys together can also effectually
block the extension of the county
control plan to any more counties
and will probably form a coalition
against any expansion of the pres
ent county control system if the
county control group remains OBJ
durate and stubborn and refuses
to play ball or compromise on any
other control plan, a good many
observers believe. For the drys dis
like the present county control
system even more than a state con-
troll system, most of them now
agree, with the result that they are
now expected to fight any extern
sion of county control as we'll as
any move towards state control
unless such a law will provide for
a statewide referendum.

T0HALT ALIEN
MONEY HERE
Administration Heads
Agree Investments
Must Be Curbed
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

Taxation to curb the constant
flow of foreign capital into the
United States was virtually de-
cided upon today by Administra-
ton financial advisers.
Following the first of a series of
conference called to determine
methods for controlling foreign
investment in this country, none
tary experts indicated they would
be ready to submit tax proposals
this week.
A large group of fiscal leaders,
headed by Secretary Of the Treas
ury Morgenthau, Federal Reserve
Chairman Mariner S. Eccles and
Secre-tary-chairman ia mes M.
Lewis, yesterday canvasSed num-
erous proposals by which this Gov.
ernment hopes to discourage the
flight of money to the United
States.
Favor Tax Increase
The suggestion that the pres.
ent 10 per cent tax on income
from securities held for for
eigners be increased is believed
to have received considerable at
tention.
Speculation in American stocks
and bonds is the primary cause
for President RooSevelt's con-
cern over the mounting tide Of
foreign capital.
Although a substantial portion
Of the seven billion dollars already
here is invested in industrial plants
and other fixed assets, the Presi-
dent feels that too much foreign
money has filtered into the securi-
ties exchanges for speculative pur.
poses.
Sudden withdrawal Of this
speculative money might precipi.
tate serious depression Of stock
and bond prices.
No Exchange Control
Morgenthau strongly indicated
that the United States would not
institute any form of currency ex.
change control.
Such control would embody
some form of licensing all capi-
tai movements between the United
State and other nations.
Morgenthau said:
81 personally am very much
opposed to thiS method. The
countries that have resOfted
to this always have been pressed
financially. With the current
recovery in the United States
there is no possible excuse fOr
exchange control. We passed
that stage several years ago. 1t
should only be adopted as .
last resort.

FIGHTING FISH
TAME IN MORN

A great scientific discovery was
made in the Capital today-that
fighting fish will not fight early
in the morning.
The discovery was made at the
meeting of the Early Birds Break
fast Club at the willard Hotel,
with Leo C. May, president, pre-
siding.
One of the guests of honor at
the early morning breakfast was
Fred G.. Orsinger. director of the
Bureau of Fisheries Aquarium. He
brought a pair of the fighting fish
to entertain members and other
guests.
Replete with ham and eggs and
all that goes with breakfast,
those who had risen early to at
tend the affair leaned back in
their chairs, lighted cigars and
cigarettes and prepared to enjoy
the bout.
But there wasn't any contest. It
was worse than Tony Pastor and
the Brown Bomber. The fish
just wouldn't mix it, so all bets
were declared off.
Other guests of honor at the
breakfast were j. J. Fitzpatrick,
managing editor of The Times;
Sidney Karr, Henry L. Umbarger
and Donald G. Shook. Members
attending the breakfast were:

PARLEY HELD
ON FEDERAL
SETUP
Reorganization Body
Finds House, Senate
Members Split
International News Service


The joint Congressional com.
mittee on reorganization of the
Federal Government held an "in-
formal conference" today with
President Roosevelt's special reor-
ganization committee on his pro-
gram for reorganizing the execu-
tive departments.
The session was called an "in-
formal conference" because the
House and Senate members were
in unalterable opposition over the
holding of hearings" This dis
agreement was but one of sew
eral delaying action by the joint
committee on the Presidents pro-
gram.
The joint committee includes
seven Senators and seven Repre-
sentatives. Their only agreement
thus far has been on naming a
Senator and a Representative as
chairman in alternating years.
Senator Joe Robinson CD OF
Arkansas was chosen chairman
for the first year.
The Presidents committee,
headed by Louis Brownlow, econ.
omist, recommended creation Of
a new Federal Department of
Public Welfare, change of the
Interior Department into the De
partment of Conservation, and
placing Of all independent agen-
cies directly under the Presi-
dents control. Thus far, the
Joint committee has taken no
action on these recommends
