Jewish Congress and
Joint Council Hope
ToCrippIe Nazis

NEW YORK, March 16 Q.N.S0.
Following a mass netting at Madi-
son Square Garden during which
attacks were made on the Hitler
regime by John L. Lewis, General
Hugh johnson and Mayor F. H.
LaGuardia, plans for intensity
ing the anti-Nazi boycott in this
country we're being made today
by the American Jewish Congress
and the Joint Boycott Council.
DR.. Stephen S, Wise, president
of the Jewish Congress. who pre-
sided at the meeting, declared
that the purpose of the boycott
was Ito make war impossible"
and to effect the "peaceable and
warless termination of the Nazi
regime"
AS chairman of the Committee
for Industrial Organization, Lewis
dealt chiefly with German labor
policies, charging that German
workers had been degraded to
serfdom," and warned against a
Fascist movement in the United
States.
LaGuardia Scathing
Mayor LaGuardia, who was not
a scheduled speaker, was called
to the platform at the conclusion
of a speech by General Johnson.
Referring to his recent attack on
Hitler, which drew a diplomatic
protest from the German govern
ment, LaGuardia asserted that he
would continue to give voice to
his anti-Nazi sentiments. He said:
do not worry about what Mr..
Hitler will say. Pay no atten-
tiOn at all to it, because public
opinion of the world has decreed
that Hitler is automatically
'satisfaktiOns faehig.'" A Ger
man expression meaning un-
worthy of meeting in a duel.
LEWIS WARNING
Declaring that establishment Of
Fascist dictatorship in the
United States would assure a
retrogression from which civiliza-
ton might not recover for ages"
Lewis said:
81 know Of only one means Of
inSuring our safety. The work
ers of America must find self
expression in economic, in social
and in political matters. They
must become articulate and
they must be free from indus
trial oppression so that they
may assume the power that is
theirs by right"
General johnson asserted that
both Nazis and Communists were
Threatening the peace of the
world"
Restoration of peace and
prosperity to suffering human
ity everywhere depends on just
one thing-a return to inter-
national relationship and to
every modern government of the
simple virtues of fairness, hon.
esty, humanity, and good faith"

dition precedent to their entering
the District schools. They city
heads suggested that to abolish
this practice would tend to break
the present protection given the
school children.
Reversing their stand of last
year, the Commissioners recon-
mended that no action be taken
on the proposal they endorsed
last year for the creation of a Sys-
tenn of magistrates courts in the
District. They commented that
when they proposed the bill last
session they were of the opinion
that the court dockets were un-
usually congested and that the
cramped quarters of the present
court building resulted in con-
fusion.
Explain Reversal
In their letter today, however,
they explained that the court
dockets are not as congested as
they had thought and that the con.
fusion caused by the cramped
quarters will be eliminated next
year with the completion of the
new court building.
The two other adverse reports
were on the bill to regulate the
beauty parlors and beauty-parlor
operators in the city and one to
similarly regulate BARRIERS and
barber shops. They based their
opposition to these measures on
the grounds that under the provi-
sions of the bills the duties and
rights of the health department
would be infringed upon.

 So the producer has filmed a spe- cial sequence in which the hero gets shot and dies. The film is being he,j in reserve. Next time the actor gets out of control the shooting and-dying footage will be inserted. The following scene will introduce a new hero, saying:
 "WelL they got poor old Ned, but I'm his brother and I will avenge his death!"
 Tango in Traffic
 In the cluster of cars halted at a tranic light on Wiltshire boulevard the other day was the longest, fash fest Rolls in town. It's an open job with red leather upholstery and be- longs to Borrah Minnevitch. He was sitting at the wheel and playing a harmonica. Beside him sat pretty girl.
 He got out. She got out. And right there in Wiltshire boulevard they danced pretty snappy tango, Minnevitch managing his harmonica with one hand. Traf1c piled up behind them and honked. Tn eight turned green, finally red again.
 The tune and dance ended with a flourish and a batter of applause from motorists near enough to see what was going on.
 Apparently refreshed, and pay- ing no attention to anybody, the two got into the big car and re- sumed their drive.
 Brushing Up Her Par t
 Jeanette Macdonald had 8 turn at ribbing on the "Firef1y" set. Pre- viously - as when two actors staged fearful fight over who was going to hold her chair, and bashed each other with breakaway wine bottles-the jokes have been insti- gated by Director Robert Leonard.
 This time he was coaching her for an impressive scene. "Tt's a grand entrance" he said. "and you come sweeping into the room
 Miss Macdonald, spectacularly gowned, went out, and the door was closed. The camera began to grind, extras to move about. On cue, the star entered. She swept in, all right -briskly yielding a broom.

 Hollywood - During one of those sidewalk conferences in front of the Brown Derby the other after noon Q group of moviemen got to playing Q silly game. An agent of- fered to bet s that he could toss folded dollar bill on the sidewalk and that none of the pedestrians passing along Vine street would mo- tice it in 10 minutes.
 An assistant producer covered the bet. The agent folded the bill very compactly so that scracely anything but its white border was visible. It lay on the sidewalk for about eight minutes and to the excitement of the oi1lookers, actually was kicked by couple of passersby.
 Pretty soon neatly dressed elderly lady came along, spotted the bilI, stoped and retrieved 1t.
 The agent paid the bet and beg ged for @ chance to get his money back on another one. Said he never had known anything like that to happen in all the times he'd tried 1t.
 Scarcely had he folded and tossed another bill than he spied, to his horror, the same elderly lady retracing her route of . few minutes before.
 She picked up the dollar, turned nervous glance on the watching men as though wondering whether they were dangerous as well as crazy, and briskly went on her way, shaking her head pityingly and making little clucking noises. Two-Way Loser
 Speaking of goofy games, there is nothing like the one played by Hollywood stunt men when several are working for picture. It's in- tended to prove that they're tough.
 Five or six gather in a close circle, heads together, eyes down, as in football huddle, and one of them blindly losses a half
 brick into the air.
 The brick comes down on some- body's noggin, and the doubly-un- fortunate stunt man has to pay the check when the gang goes to lunch. Raising" Old Ned

Heralded for weeks all over the nation by severest critics as the big gest achievement in musicals ever producer, feet-free Fred AstaiFe and joyous Ginger Rogers are pre- ented in Loew's Poll today in their newest smash hit, "shall We Dance" |"
 Out loosel Relaxl Unbendl-and clear your throat for cheering as Fred and Ginger go to town in their gayest, gladdest show.
 Setting Q recort for other starring combinations to shoot at, Fred and Ginger are currently appearing to- gether in their seventh team pie ture.
 With a unique story that hinges on the hectic romance of Q noted ballet dancer and an international reveu artiste, and dances that range from the most novel tap numbers to gorgeous ballet ensembles, the pie
 trre is hailed as one of the finest musicals ever produced.
 For the first time in screen his.
 tory, ballet dancing forms a prom
 inent part of the offering, with As taire portraying the role of fa- mous ballet favorite. Harriet Hec-
 tor, noted American ballerina, ap- pears in the spectacular numbers. Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore, both of whom have added much to the mefriment of previous Rogers vehicles, have im- portant roles in this new offering.
 Some of the highlights from the glittering, colossal romantic comedy. Most spectacular achievement of the dancing aces are Fred's sensational solo feature number to the Gersf- win melody Slap That Bass" In the engine room of 8 transatlantic liner, he sings and dances in time with the moving parts of the en- zines. In accompaniment with him is a chorus of sixteen colored music clans who represent engine room
 employees. The dance starts con- ventionally enough but 1t hasn't
 progressed very far before Fred IS nimbling all over the machinery, and mounting up and up until he is delivering fusillade of taps on the highest and dizziest pinnacles. You'll see perfect rhythm as Fred and Ginger dance on roller skates in dance sequence that Is truly re- markable.
 Presented as the companion fea- ture on this stupendosls Loew Poli presentation, is sprightly comedy of matrimonial n1ix-ups. Anne
 Shirley and John Morley have the
 leads in this gay romantic comedy
 of love that started in the spring
 time and ended at the justice of the peaCe.
