LONDON, March 26 GNSO.
PAYMENT to the Union of South
Africa of approximately $10,50O, 900
to prevent the inundated territory
of South West Africa from falling
back into the hands of Germany
was cited here today as indicative
of Great Britains unWillingness to
grant Adolf Hitler's demand for
the return of Germany'S former
colonies.
The sum represents the accumu-
lated deficit of the civil admins
tration of South West Africa un-
der the mandate. 1t is being borne
by the Union of South Africa vol
unfairly rather than give Germany
any valid reason for demanding
return of that colonial territory,
taken away from Germany under
the "war-guilt" clause Of the Yer
sailleS Treaty.
Price of Possession
Although not bound under the
mandate to subSidize its charge,
the government of the Union of
South Africa has done so as the
price which must be paid for pos
session of that geographically and
politically important stretch of
territory.
Diplomatic observers see in this
action of the South African gov
ernment a definite indication OF
the extent to which the Union
government particularly would op-
pose any move to restore South
West Africa to Germany.
Nevertheless, reports from South
West Africa indicate that German
hopes of return to the father
land remain unimpaired and the
local Nazi propaganda campaign
for restoration of the territory to
Germany is being intensified.
Nazi Move Grew
The National-Socialist movement
took root among Germans in South
West Africa in 1882, and in 1884
had reached such proportions that
an ordinance was made law for
bidding it.
A raid on the National-Socialist
party Windhoek headquarters was
made by the police in 1884 and
netted documents which were used
in evidence before a Union COM
mission of inquiry. The commits
sion found that the German dis
content had been inspired from
the foreign department of the Ma
tional-Socialist party in Berlin.
With the outlawing of the So
cialist movement, agitation calmed
down for several years, but with
Herr Hitler's bid for the return of
pre-war colonies propaganda for
the return of the territory to the
fatherland has been intensified by
both legal and illegal means.

TELETYPE BILL
W|NSBACK|NG

The passage of a bill, now in
the Maryland State legislature,
which would give to Maryland a
teletype system for intercommuni-
cation, would increase the eff
cheney of the law-enforcing body
of the District as well as that of
Maryland, according to the Mary
land Police Association.
The District police, the associa-
ton points out, already have a
teletype system. If this system is
granted Maryland, it will provide
the connecting link for the Dis
trict with eight other States.
There has been very appreciable
increase in the efficiency of the
police of other States which en-
ploy this system for communica-
ton with police across State lines,
the association adds.

LEONA MARICLE
WON CHANCE AT
FILMS BY TRICK

For some reason or other,
thousands of fond parents go
completely berserk when their
fair young daughters mention a
desire to became actresses. Leona
Maricle's mother and father were
no different, but she solved the
problem-and how! ga
Leona, who will appear in Col
umbia's "Parole Racket" showing
as part of the double feature bill
at the Falls theatre, September
% and "a, was attending Texas
Teachers College when she an
nounced to Mr.. and Mrs. Marble
that she didn't like studying to be
a teacher and wanted to go on
the stage. Father protested Vigor-
ously, but Leona packed her bag
and headed east to Philadelphia
to prepare herself for a dramatic
career. Parental pleas to return
to the home fireside were UNI
needed by the rebellious young
woman until one day she received
the following telegram:
"Come home and we will allow
you to go to any school you wish.
Dad"
She agreed to the terms of the
message and returned home. ,
Then, to the utter surprise OF
her parents, when they asked
what school she wished to attend,
she replied:
"The American Academy of
Dramatic Arts in New York"
Being a true southern gentle
man and a sportsman, Mr.. Mar
icle knew when he was licked and
stuck to his bargain. Leona went
to New York, enrolled at the
academy and made he stage de-
but in "The Moon is a Gong"
She followed this with series of
Broadway successes and went to
Hollywood under contract.

NAVY FILM HAS
UNUSUAL SLANT

Hollywood has produced many
a movie against a navy back
ground, but "Wings Over Homo
lulu is the first film to digreSs
from the traditional pattern of
such pictures. The central char
acter is a navy wife and, after
three weeks of discussion, the
navy approved of her. This spec
tacular dramatic film, wings
Over Honolulu" which will come
to the Redwood theatre Septern-
Der 81, has beautiful, titan hair
ed Wendy Barrie in the leading
role.
With the color, action and ro-
nance of navy background, the
picture tells the poignant story of
the young Virginia girls who runs
counter to rigid social conven-
tons of service society.
In the picture Miss Barrie be-
comes involved in a situation
which costs her husband chance
for promotion. Thinking she has
ruined his career, she runs away
with another man, thus adding
fuel to the flames of gossip. The
story reaches a smashing climax
when the young wife gives testi-
mony before a navy court martial
to save her husbands career.
Heightening the drama of this
engrossing chronicle is romantic
background of tropic moonlight
and spectacular navy maneuvers
of fighting craft on the sea and in
the air.
Playing opposite Miss Barrie in
"Wings Over Honolulu" is hand
some Ray Milland, who scored
earlier in "Three Smart Girls"

Perseverance Best Rule
For Success, Says Star

Those who work hard must
work harder. ....
The opinion is that of Warner
Baxter who is starred with Lor-
eta Young and Virginia Bruce in
the Twentieth Century-Fox wise
and witty romantic drama wife,
Doctor and Nurse" which will be
shown Sunday and Monday,
September 26 and 81 at the Falls
theatre with Jane Darwell, Sid
ley Blackmer, Maurice Cass,
Minna Gombell and Margaret
Irving featured in-the supporting
cast.
Baxter's opinion applies especi-
ally to movie stars, for those
people work necessarily day after
day with little time left for leis-
ure.
81 used to think that if I ever
became a star, things would be
easy for Baxter" said the TWen-
tieth Century-FoX star. " had
worked hard since l was a boy,
doing odd jobs while 1 was at
tending school, and later trying
my hand at several other occupa-
tions before my stage career be-
gan.
"On the stage I was always
working hard so that I might at
tract attention and thus, perhaps,
some day. get chance to be a
movie star. When the unexpected
was attained, l told myself that
hard work was over, and that l
could coast for awhile. was
never more mistaken in my life.
l found that l had just started to
work. For every established star
there are a hundred potential
ones, and you must constantly
contribute only your best per-
Torrance to remain at the top"
Baxter may have been a little
surprised when he discovered
that stardom was the hardest job
of all, but he was not dismayed.
AS matter of fact, he was actually
prepared for it. He had known
hard work all his life.
His boyhood ambition was to
become StTeeL-Cdr COIluuCtOI,
but this veered to acting when he
took part in amateur theatricals
while attending high school. Upon
graduating he accepted a job as a
travelling salesman for a farm i'm
plement company and later sold
insurance. Theatrical ambitions
overlook him at this juncture and
he joined a stock company, play
ing juvenile leads for two years.
Leaving the company, he went
to Hollywood and made the studio
rounds without success. Undaunt-
ed in his determination to some
day be a star, he joined the Bur-
bank stock company and remain
ed with it seven years, until re-
cognition was accorded him
through an offer to appear in a
Broadway production. Film pro-
ducers became interested and
took him to Hollywood, where he
soon rose to the Hollywood pin
nacle.
In "Wife, Doctor and Nurse"
Baxter adds another important
role to his long list of outstanding
Characterization.

ROTARY HEARS
DR.. BEYCRAU.
Visitor Tells of Life and
Views Of His Friend,
Luther Burbank

A lecture on Luther Burbank,
the great American horticulturist,
was given at the Rotary club
Wednesday by DR.. +. A. Bey-
grau, of New York City, a person
al friend of Mr.. Burbank.
Born in Lancaster, Mass, in
lS49, Burbank was first a stone
cutter, the speaker said, and a
lung infection contracted due to
the stone dust led him to farming,
at first on small Massachusetts
farm, and later in California.
Burbank was simple man in
his tastes, the speaker said, add
ing that he always resented being
called the wizard of horticulture,
or even DR.. Burbank, preferring
simply Mr.. Burbank. The speaker
quoted Burbank as saying that his
results with the vegetable world
were due entirely to common
sense.
He said that once he asked
Burbank what he considered his
greatest achievement, and that he
was then shown a number of
plant developments which had en-
abled men to produce more at a
lower cost.
Burbank was not an atheist, he
said, quoting him as saying that
he produced nothing, that the
credit was due to God.
1t would be impossible, he said,
to express in words what the con-
tribution of the man was to the
world, but he quoted Dean Swift
who said that the man who made
two ears of corn or two blades
