Hollywood, Dec. 4.-(UP).-Flab- hergaSted policemen rubbed their bulging eyes today and wondered why the law couldn't stop c Lady 0odiva, clad mostly in c smile, from prancing down Broadway on her horse.
 It was sight to see, as even the police will admit, because 1t isn't every day that Q young lady, who IS pink oil over, climbs onto Q blue" eyed horse and cloppety-clops across Hollywood.
 This real life drama of the law and its shortcomings-had US pc. gaming yesterday when Russell BlrdWell, who functions as town crier for the movie productions Of selznick International, reminded the authorities that the 00th ariiiver- sary of Lady 0odiya's famous ride through Coventry was at hand.

 The police replied that horse drawn vehicles were Illegal.
 Lady Qodiva's horse Is no ve- hicle," retorted Birdwell.
 "Well, then, we'll run you in for violating the ordinance against per- mitless parades," the police said.

 Misouoted About HooUer

the income tax of Herbert Hoover was investigated in an apparent ei- fort to get something on him. It has come to a pretty pass when in- come tax returns of an ex-presiden,t. should be subject to investigation.
 Myers said that his information came from several sources which ne considered reliable. In Washington, officials of the treasury department refused to comment on Myers state ment, but declared that the depart ment never investigated income tax returns for political purposes: Law renee Richey, Secretary of MT. Hoover, was told yesterday Of the statement attributed to Myers Dy the press release from town hall. He said: ..
 prof. Myers has been misquoted. MT. Hoover has not been annoyed and has no complaint to make. Asked i fhe had been quoted cor rectly. Myers said: "The report quoting me as saying I am author ized to say Is erroneous. The oniy nossible explanation that I can suggest Is that these words were in- corporated by error in press re- lease. My reInaPks about MT. Hoov- er were an aside and not part of my formal speech"

 Birdwcll hastened to hire Miss Dorothy Fargo as his Godiva, and a white horse named Oscar, as her steed. He took Oscar in Q truck and Mas Fargo in Q limousine to the corner of First street and Broadway. This would correspond to 42nd street and Broadway in New York. Miss Fargo, who played Lady 0odiva in the movie which Birdwell was ad- vertising. shucked of her bathrobe, to reveal herself clad in q pink ieotard, which is considerably less than a bathing slut. but something more than nudity.

 The quotation was contained in a press release from New Works town hall. where Prof. Myers lectured, and was published widely. The quotation continued: Think Of that! Investigating the income tax returns of former president of the United States"
