MASS. IS AGAINST
CHILD LABOR ACT

Boston, Feb. 18.--(UP)-Despite
influence of President Roosevelt
and arguments by Assistant Sec
rotary of Labor Edward F. McGrady
and other proponents, a substantial
majority of the legislative commit
tee on constitutional law today were
opposed to Massachusetts, ratifica-
tino of the child labor amendment.
From a poll of committee men,
bers, 1T was evident that a sufficient
number would vote the perennial
report on the measure sponsored by
the State Federation of Labor
leave to Withdraw. Hearing be-
fore a noisy crowd of TOO in Card
ner auditorium was adjourned yes
terday until 1890 a. m. today.
Sen. John D. Mackay, Quincy re-
publican and chairman, said he was
trying to keep an open mind on the
question. He voted against the
measure last year. Other commit
tee members, however, were OUT
spokenly against ratification.
At least one member probably
will reserve" his vote until the
controversial bill reaches the house
floor.

Old Hollywood Scandal Recalled by Latest Movie SEN
@ sation = Diary Of Mary Astor Played
Real Part inc Scandal

Yuma, AriZ., Feb. 18-CUP)-Mary
EAstor, the hlm actress. and. Manuel
Del Campo, young Hollywood en-
tertainer, were married here today.
Miss Astor, who conducted sensa-
tional court fight for custody Of her
daughter last summer, flew here
with Del Campo in a chartered plane
from Los Angeles. Immediately upon
arriving at the Yuma airport, the
couple went to the home of Superior
Judge Henry C. Kelly, who per-
formed the wedding ceremony. In
Los Angeles, it was understood that
they would go to Mexicali, Mex,
where Del Campo will fly to Mexico
City and Miss Aston return to Holly
wood. He purchased a round trip
ticket via Pan-American Airlines
yesterday in Burbank and said he
had business in Mexico. He made
no mention of reservations for Miss
Aston.
Gossip Was Missing
There had been none Of the usual
gossip and reports that Miss Aston
and Del Campo were that way" to
indicate that romance and love had
again entered the life Of the screen
star whose liking for George Kauf-
man, the playwright, played so
prominent part in her sensational
court battle last summer against
her former husband, DR.. FRANKLIN
Thorpe. for custody Of their four
year old daughter, Marilyn. .
There had even been reports and
rumors that Miss Aston was again
interested in the sauve, film colony
physician who divorced her in April,
1885, obtained custody of the child,
and had presence of mind to retain
her diary which he produced, to the
embarrassment of the film colony
at the custody trial. They had been
seen together despite the trial bit
terness, and some hoped the child
would bring them together. But, 1t
became apparent with this morn
mg's trip to the altar, Miss Astor
had other things in mind.

ATTORNEY GEN.

, Boston, Feb. 18.-(UP)-Massa-
chusetts' chief law officer had rob-
berry case of his own to solve today.
With thieves at the wheel, the auto
mobile of Attorney-General Paul A.
Dever raced through red lights last
night and outdistanced Arlington
police, who fired three shots in a
futile effort to halt the car.
An hour later the car, which had
been stolen from in front of the
Cambridge home of Dever's chauf-
feur, was found abandoned In Bos-
toms west end. The "S-5" regis
tration plates had been removed and
in their place were substituted the
plates of Professor william c. Robb
of Cambridge, whose automobile had
been stolen at the same time.
Early today Robb's car was found
abandoned in Cambridge. 1t bore
no plates. Police said they found
evidence it had been used by
thieves who stole $4,000 in cash and
valuables from the car of Mrs. AL
len Steinert of Cambridge yester-
day.

GERMANY MAKES
SOVIET PROTEST
Thirty Eight Germans Be-
ing Held Prisoners With
out Any Trial

Berlin, Feb. 18.-(UP)-Count
Friedrich Won der Schulenburg, Ger
man ambassador to Russia, has
made serious" representations to
the Russian foreign Office regarding
80 Germans held without trial, it
was announced today. Schulenburg
also demanded permission for a
representative Of the embassy to
interview the prisoners, 1t was an
nounced.
Involved in Purge
All apparently were involved in
the Russian government purge" Of
which the recent Moscow trial-that
brought death to 13 prominent boil
sheviks and prison sentences to four
were a part. Presumably they
were suspected Of sabotage and
espionage. The Germans were ar
rested last November and December.
Included are some Nazis, and some
former liberals, socialists and COM
munists. Specific charges never
have been brought against them, so
far as could be learned here.
Third Protest Made
Schulenburg's protest was the
third in recent months against ar
rests of Germans. He made his
first protest November u when five
Germans were arrested without be-
ing charged. The second was made
November % when Emil I. Sticking,
German engineer, was sentenced
to death along with eight Russians
on sabotage charges. At that time
there were indications that Ger
many would break relations If Stick
ling was executed. His sentence,
and the sentences of two Russian
fellow prisoners, were cut to 10
years Imprisonment. The other died.
In every case, apparently, there
was a clear link with the govern
ment campaign against alleged fol-
lowers of Leon Trotsky, exiled FORM
er war lord, whom the government
charges with plotting to overthrow
the regime.

washington, Feb. 18.-(UP)-A
new compromise, calling for action
by state conventions within u year
on q proposed constitutional amend
ment, was advaced today In the Jul
dietary reorganization battle. 1t
was proposed by Sen. Edward r.
Burke, D., Neb.. and won praise
from Sen. william E. Borah, r.,
Ida. Burke said he probably would
suggest that the one-year require
ment be attached to the proposed
Wheeler Bone constitutional amend
ment which would empower con-
greSs to override, by two-thirdS
vote, supreme court decisions which
invalidate acts Of congress. Burke
said he believed that If action were
required within one year, this would
meet the objections of both friends
and foes of Mr.. Roosevelt's plan
that adoption of q constitutional
route required too much
time to afford an effective way Of
meeting the situation.
Good Deal of Merit
Borah declared belief that the
state convention plan had "a good
deal of merit" He pointed out that
the prohibition repeal amendment
was ratified in IS months by that
method. 1.-THE people are entirely
