folded the tragedy of a night like
that night, it seems unreal, 1t
turns artificial under our hands,
and becomes celluloid instead OF
flesh and blood.
Yet, there never was q more
sensitive, easily wounded girl on
earth than Jean Harlow. She
wore bravado sometimes like q
scarlet cloak, she was an actress
and she could act and act mag
nificently in the face of her per-
Sonal grief and loss, but perhaps
it went deeper for all that.
I think Jean herself expected
only a short, glittering life with
a swift and tragic end. 49,.
Two things make me sure Of
that now. Two things she said
to me.
One day I had gone to spend the
afternoon with her at her beau
tiful white and gold house on the
hill. It was, that house, the most
delicately luxurious thing I ever
saw-a setting for Jean Harlow.
She wanted to talk to me about
a novel she had written-and she
actually had written it. It showed,
thought, amazing talent.
Amateurish in spots, crude in
construction, it had flashes of
beauty, and real insight and I'M
Outstanding of people, and the
true touch of the born story-teller.
I told her that. I said:
"Jean, you've a real talent, but
you need work. 1t takes much
time and concentration and hard
work to write. People think
you pick it off bushes, but you
don't. But when you're older
and have finished being a movie
star, you can devote your life
to it and have a splendid Sec
Ond art to keep yourself busy"
LAUGHS AT LIFE
She was sitting cross-legged on
the floor, in the white Stacks and
woolly white sweater she loved to
wear, and she threw back her head
and laughed,

cards. Can't you see that? I'm
just not the sort of person who
will ever live to be old. 1t doesn't
fit. Women who have the sort
of life I've had should never
live to be old"
At one time we were all going to
see a fight at the Hollywood Legion
Stadium, where the movie stars all
congregate. Jean insisted that the
fight would come out a certain

experts had picked it at all.
I asked her why and she said
Because that's the story. Life
follows art. It's strange, but
it does. If you'll notice how

1000 D. c, JOBS
HIT BY PLAN

elimination Of 1000 jobs in the
District Government through the
Kennedy reorganization program
was revealed today.
This announcement was made
by Representative Ambrose J. Ken.
nedy CD, of Maryland, whose re,
organization plan. which has been
in preparation for several months,
will be released in full later in the
day. b.,
The sIashing of one.tenth Of the
District, personnel of approximate
ly 10000 employees. will result from
consolidation of bureaus and the
institution of modern machinery
and equipment in the District
Building, which will obviate the
present necessity for several hun.
bred clerks.
Representative Kennedy an.
nounced, however. that his plan
will disapprove dismissal of per.
sons whose jobs will be eliminated
by the program. He will recon-
mend, instead, he said, a gradual
depletion of personnel, by not fill
ing vacancies caused by death, re-
tirement and dismissal.
Mr.. Kennedy'S plan calls for an
advisory council, which will act as
a liaison agency between the Dis
trict commissioners and the Wash
ington public.

TAKE OVER
AIRPORT
Hoover Field Proposal
OF Rep. Thomson
Gains Support

A suggestion that If Washing
ton.Hoover Airport is to be i'm.
proved for continued use it should
be taken over by the Federal
Government was received sympa.
thetically by the House Military
Affairs Committee today.
Such a proposal was made by
Representative r. Ewing Thorn.
ason Cd Of Texas, during a hear
ing before the committee on a bill
which would authorize the wash
ington-Hoover Airport Company
to obtain Military Road and about
10 acres Of Government land for
enlargement of the present air
port.
Thomson expressed the view
that rather than give Government
land to q private corporation to
develop the airport he believed it
wiser for the Government to buy
the airport and develop it as Fed
eral authorities desired.
Proposal Favored
Several members of the commit.
tee expressed approval of the
Thomson suggestion. In discuss
ing the proposition, he asked Sam
Solomon, manager of the local
airport, whether the airport com.
pany would be willing to sell to
the Government and at what price.
Solomon replied that his organi-
cation would be willing to sell to
the Government and set a price Of
81 ,43O, 900.
During the testimony on the
proposal to permit the airport to
develop and expand the present
landing field, Eddie Rickenbacker,
vice president of Eastern Air Trans
port, told the committee that dur
ing the past week his company has
reduced from 20 to IL the number
of round trips made between wash
ington and New York because Of
the bad publicity which the local
airport has received recently. He
explained that this adverse public
ity has curtailed business substan-

Urges Enactment
Rickenbacker, in urging enact.
ment Of the bill, declared:

we may be forced to go some
where else instead Of landing in

statement, it was understood that

HITS POS
GIVEN TO
NEWMAN
Police Court Judeeship
Filled; Mcmahon
To Be Retained
BY EARL GOODWIN

Hobart Newman was nominated
today by President Roosevelt for
police court Judge to succeed
Isaac r. Hit, whose term has ex'
pired. At the same time it was
learned in high official quarters
that no successor to Judge John
P. Mcmahon will be named at the
present time, thus leaving the
veteran judge, over whom con-
siderable controversy has ragged,
in office indefinitely. 1t is under
stood, however, that Judge Nc
Mahon eventually will be reap
pointed.
The appointment Of Hobart
Newman today ends long local
political dispute over appointees
to the two posts held by Judges
Mcmahon and Hit and disposes
of one of the most puzzling local
political problems facing the Ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Newman, who is a native
of Washington and who has been
in the Federal service almost con-
tinuously since his graduation
from law school nine years ago. was
recommended by Senator's Wag-
ner Of New York, Bankhead of
Alabama and Mcclellan Of Ten
nessee, George Of Georgia and also
by Democratic National Commit
teeman Malcolm McConnihie.
Newman 81 Years Old
It is understood that the Presi-
dents advisers who have been
combing the District with great
care, have reached the conclusion
that the political values of the
situation will be observed by re-
tanning the veteran Mcmahon, a
Woodrow Wilson Democrat-and
appointing Mr.. Newman, who at
age "a is said to typify the younger
generation of New Deal Democrats.
There has been little chance
that Judge Hit would be reap
pointed, but the case Of Judge Nc.
Mahon has presented as excit-
ing a political situation as a vote
less District could have.
Appointed to the Police Court
bench in the Wilson administra-
ton, he has made an enviable rec.
ord and was reappointed by sue
cessive Republican Presidents. He
built host of friends and made a
reputation as a most capable
judge. A few months ago when
his term expired there was a
mounting public sentiment for his
reappointment.
Changed Their Minds
At the same time there were
nearly a hundred candidates for
his position and the political pres
sure became so great not many
weeks ago that a high official of
the Administration let it be known
that Judge McMahon's name was
no longer being considered; that
he was a good Judge, but there
was something politically wrong
with some Of his backing.
However, since then the Presi.
dents advisers have gone into the
matter of Judge Mcmahon with
considerable thoroughness, and it
is understood they are now willing
later to present Judge Mcmahon
name to the President for reap
pointment.
Mr.. Newman was born in the
District "a years ago. He attended
the Friends Select School; Central
High School and George Washing.
ton University. He received a de-
gree of Bachelor of Laws from
National University Law School in
June of 1928 and the same year
was appointed an Assistant United
States Attorney, in which post he
served two years. He was next ap-
pointed to a legal post with the
Federal Radio Commission, which
he filled from 1880 to 1888.
