Marian's sitting room is a yawn-
ing cavern. The walls of the
room are of stone and there
are stone flags underfoot. In
an adjoining chamber can be
seen the heroine's bed, huge
four-poSter seen with a white
fur spread that looks like a
polar bear skin.
Miss de Havilland and Flynn
are standing by a window
locked in embrace.
ROMANCE IN COLOR
The color cameras will faith
fully reproduce the blue of her
gown, also the green of Flynn's
tights.
In his role as Robin Hood,
Flynn is wearing a wisp Of
blond mustache and just the
hint of a Vandyke beard.
This is a dramatic scene,
stolen rendezvous for the lovers.
Maid Marian is urging Robin
Hood to flee before he Is dis
covered. He is trying to get
her to run away with him to
Sherwood Forest.
The two stars are not getting
enough fire into the scene to
suit Director William Keighley.
Look, Olivia" he says, you
rnllst show more concern for his
safety. If he were caught in
your bedroom, what would the
columnist say in the Noting
ham Gazetteer"
COOPER GOES MUSICAL
Keighley's difficulty is small
indeed compared to what con-
fronts Ernst Lubitsch on an
other morning at Paramount.
Lubitsch is directing Claudette
Colbert and Gary Cooper in
"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" To-
day he is trying to get Cooper
to sit at the piano and sing:
locke, locke, here comes
Cookie!"
Now singing is not one Of
Gary's accomplishments and he
looks thoroughly sheepish.
They have a girl in from the
music department to show him
how to move his hands on the
piano keys. The music will be
dubbed in later, but If his fin.
gers don't make the approx.
mate motions, many a sharp
eyed fan will write in to Para
mount.

BILLION AND HALF RELIEF
 BILL PASSES
House Gives Approval to Measure Following Com
 promises by Admin.

WASHINGTON, June 2. The Administrations billion-and-a half dollar relief bill won midnight House approval, after compromise had quashed persistent revolt, and was sent to the Senate.
 The vote was 223 for, to A against, marked another major legislative battle won by the Presidents fol- lowers.
 The Administration promised that probably much more than $45 ,000,- coo will be earmarked to be spent for flood control, and that it will make relief funds available for building of ponds and lakes to raise water levels in the Southwest dust bowl. The Administration also agreed to revoke it's order for all- relief labor, the point which held up passage of the bill.
 The use of $131 100000 is now planned for the PWA revolving fund for loans and grants to cities. The action will mean the completion of large number of projects for which cities have already voted bond issues.

SHIPPING TAX,
 ALASKA BOATS,
 IS DISCUSSED
House Committee Consid- CTS Bill Introduced by
 Rep. Magnuson
By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate DimOnd

WASHINGTON, May 22.-(Spec- |ial Correspondence) = The House Committee on the Territories on May 19 considered at length the bill introduced by Representative Mag nuson of Washington, to repeal the Federal tax of $1 per ton on ships and shipping and freight and pas Isenger transportation lines operat- ing in Alaska, as provided by Sec tion 176 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, 1883. The bill is identical with a bill introduced in the Sem ate by Senator Murray of Mon- |tana. Representative Magnuson, the author of the bill; former Senator Dill, representing transportation in- terests; J. J. Underwood, repre- isentive ot the Seattle Chamber of Commerce; and Claude E. Wake field, attorney for the Alaska Steam ship Company and the Northland Transportation Com pany, made statements in support of the bill
 The law imposes the tax on ships which are "rgistered in Alaska or not paying license or tax elsewhere" and doing local business for hire in Alaska waters. The word "else- where" was in one case construed by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the case of Northern Commercial Company vs. U. S., reported in PIT Federal Reporter at page 33, to mean in some other Judicial Divis- ion of the Territory of Alaska. Sem ator Dill proved to the satisfaction of the committee that that decis- ion was contrary to the intent of Congress as expressed in the debate when the tax law was originally enacted. Hence it may be concluded that the word elsewhere" means at some place in the United States and not some other Judicial Division of the Territory of Alaska.
 Departments View
 The view of the Department of Justice is that the tax may be col lected only if and when ships in Alaska do an interport business and that the tax provisions of the law do not apply to commerce carried on between Seattle, or any other point in the States, and Alaska. Since the interport business in AL aska is relatively small it is said that many ships which now do such

II Men Tell House
 When to Tote ssNO''
By SIGRID ARNE AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 2. Con- gress has acquired Greek chorus that sings only one refrain: T object"
 They put on their act in the House on the first and third Tues days of every month when the pri- vate bills come up.
 Suppose MT. Jones of Arkansas wants $50 damages from Uncle Sam because the Jones COW, Bes- sic, was killed by a Government truck. But suppose the House ob- jectors have a suspicion all was not Hoyle about Bessie's depar- ture. Two of the objectoSs can rise and shout, q object" There is no further argument. That's that for the $30
 II Voices in Chorus
 There are II in the chorus-six Republicans and five Democrats. They are Representatives c. E. Hancock of New York, c. A. Hal leck of Indiana, J. w. Mott of Ore gon, J. P. Wolcott of Michigan, D. H. Mclean of New Jersey, R. E.. Church of Illinais, D. w. Clark of Idaho, J. M. Costello of California, G. A. Barden of North Carolina, Ross Collins of Mississippi and J. H. Flannery of Pennsylvania.
 Their group came into being two years ago when Congres was forced to step itself up to mass production methods because some 12,OOO bills were hitting it each session. Some of them were major issues, like the Wagner act, but hundreds were small like the one about MT. Jones COW.
 Legislative Goats
 Obviously, a Congressman doing his homework on the Wagner act has no time to study evidence on the small bills. And yet he'd like to know when he votes $30 to MT. Jones that the sum is due Jones.
 So the objectors came into be- ing. They're the legislative goats and really must know about each bill because it's their official duty to guide the rest of the House.
 Sounds reminiscent of Uncle Joe Cannons steamroller-some of the brethren think it is.
 Used to be private bills came up separately in the House for pro- longed discussion. That took time.
 How 1t Works
 Now they go to House commit tees which do all the arguing. If the committee reports them out. the objectors hunt for slips to pre- pare for the first and third Tues days of the month. The clerk reels them off like this:
 I'll. R. 1027 for the relief of Fan nie Sarah Hopkins"
 Most of the House will have no idea what Mrs. Hopkins wants but the obiectors do. If trey think her bill proper they keep quiet, and the bill passes automatically.
 But if two objectors shout T
