company. That grant would have
to be handled in one of two ways
1t has to be handled under the guiSe
of smart business to be justified
to the company'S stockholders or as
gift. The United States supreme
court has ruled that a minority of
the stockholders or any company
can enjoin its officers from making
gifts or bonuses to employees or to
anyone else.
Granted that the so called offer
is made in all sincerity. the officers
of the power company still have
their stockholders to reckon with.
Could Lose All
Look at it from another angle: ::
That proposal is couched in the fol-
lowing language. II gives your
board of directors a limited time of
6 months to comply with its terms.
You must remember the legal de-
partment of your district. to protect
the people of this district, would
have to insist upon certain pro-
visions to be even partially pro-
tected. Inability to agree with the
power company lawyers could des-
troy possibility of any contract and
you would be left with nothing.
There still is another provision
in the alleged offer of the power
company: You must turn down
our REA and PWA contracts in the
June 16 election.
You must, in order to deal with
the power company on the power
companys terms. reject an assured
method of developing your power
and you are asked by the company
to place yourself unreServedly at
the mercy of a corporation.
rs there any one of you ladies
and gentlemen who would so tie
your hands in any kind of business
transaction?"
Vigorously denouncing the offer
as political propag aganda", which
brought a round of applause from
the audience, Hewes pointed out
that under the terms of the offer
the people will pay the company a
great many more dollars than they
will receive, comparing it to selling
eggs at 10 cents a dozen to the gro
Ger and buying them back at so
cents.
Lean Advantages Explained
Advantages of the PWA and REA
loans were outlined by Hewes, en-
phasizing that they are to be repaid
out of revenues only and then only
after maintenance and operating
costs have been paid. The pro-
posed contracts do not obligate nor
require the levying of taxes or as
sessments to raise funds for repay
ment.
"This power is yours. Keep it
while you have it," he concluded.
Mark Rose, director, spoke to the
point also in opposing the corpora
tion's program. declaring that a
large group of people stands ready
to fight for the power development
by the district and will never sur
render
The directors also passed reso-
luton urging the board of super
visorS and the various city councils
to declare the afternoon of June Is
a holiday from / pm. to the closing
of the polls SO that every one may
vote on the power issue.

Hughes passed the young actress
along to Metro Goldwyn-May and
there she met Paul Bern, one of
that lots star producers.
Bern guided Jean carefully in
her continued advance, and ulti-
mately their friendship blossomed
into a marriage which resulted in
tragedy.
Two months after they were mar
ried in 1882, Bern. melancholy but
brilliant director. was found dead
naked in his bathroom, with a bull
let in his head. The young bride,
inconsolable for time. again plung-
ed into her career, and year later
she had married her cameraman.
Harold RoSson.
The union ended in divorce year
later, and Miss Harlow returned
to her mothers home. Since the
ending of her marriage to Rosson,
she had been free of romantic en-
tanglements, although her frequent
appearances with the debonnaire
William Powell set Hollywood ton
CUES to wagging.
All who knew Jean Harlow well
credited her with a lively intel
ligence She was a clever conver-
sationalist, a hard worker before
the camera. Likewise. she took her
fun at top speed. In everything she
did, she was energetic.

Eleven Catholic
Priests Arrested
In Nazi Campaign

BERLIN, June 7. tUP)-The in
fluential Nazi newspaper Der An
griff famed the controversy oe-
tween the Catholic church and the
Nazi regime into further flame to-
day by an attack on Cardinal In
nitzer, archbishop of Vienna, for
his defense of the German Cathol-
ic clergy against charges of i'm
morality.
simultaneously, municipal auth
critics at Fulda took over control
of the Catholic Brothers hospital
and the apprentice home, on the
ground that immortality trials of
attaches had caused public disSat-
iSfaction.
In the midst of tic tension caus-
ed by the arrest o. IL Catholic
priests at Munich yesterday for
leading their congregations in pro-
tests against the Nazi policy to-
wards the church, Der Angritf ap-
peared with front page headlines
reading:
Cardinal Innitzer comes out in
to the open-he Should think Of
Austria abuse in the wrong place"
The newspaper, charging an incip-
lent campaign to damage Germa-
ny's reputation abroad, continued:
Cardinal Innitzer is very i'm
prudent to assert that only small
numbers of culprits have been
found among the clergy his
statement that the immortality tri-
ais will damage Germany's repu-
tation abroad is most incredible.
This is the cue for an interna-
tional libel campaign against Ger
many, as well as a pretext to in
flame the Austrian population
against the Reich"
What action is to be taken
against the arrested priests was
not made public.
