 Wallace, who is thought to be a bit relieved at losing Tugwell as his undersecretary, has great wit and charm. With eloquent sincerity he praised Tugwell as 8 friend of tho under-privileged, a trail-blazer in government.

 Monsignor Ryan recalled Tug wells Los Angeles speech urging unitel political action by farmers and labor. used heavily by efIe- mics in the campaign, and said, "I can find worse things than that in Quadragesimo Anno" (the (the Pope's encycIical on labor and social problems).
 Senator O,Mahoney recalled the tirne he had his picture taken with Tugwell and how conservative friend had written him that he'd missed great opportunity to ap- pear as Q hero in the photograph by not having his thumb in Tug wells eye. Hopkins struck a serious note. insisting that millions of the "underprivileged" considered Tugwell their leader and that economic royalists" had all too well under stood Tugwell and his desire to distribute the goods things of life.

SEEING MOVIES AT HOLLYWOOD Nothing Like It Anywhere Else on Earth-Just

 Hollywood, Aug. 3-(UP)-Going to the movies anywhere else on earth was never like this: Blue white searchlights stabbed the fog gy night in front of the Paramount theater. Hundreds of fans damned the sidewalks, clutching at the sleeves and thrusting pencils into the hands of the great--and those who looked great. "Preview," said the sign on the marquee. That's all 1t did say but the customers lined up for nearly 8 block, wait ing to buy tickets for they knew not what.
 Guests of Paramount
 Adolph zukor, Karen Morley, Gall Patrick, Richard Arlen, Dick Powell, Joan Blondell, Shirley Ross, and some 300 other guests of the Paramount studios stepped from their limousines, smiled, signed their names in autograph albums, and strolled Into a section of the theater roped off for them. They saw through the news reel, the comedy, and the announcement of coming attractions. They made not sound. Then came the big mo- ment. There flashed across the screen the title of the mystery pie ture: Artists and Models" There was a burst of applause.
 Other Names Appear
 Other names slipped across the canvas. Lewis Gensler, the pro- ducer, Raoul Walsh, the director, Jack Benny, the star, Ida Lupino, Arlen, Miss Patrick, Ben Blue. A host of speciality artists, technicians, assistant directors, costumers, mu- sicians, and whatnot. Every last name received its salvo of hand clapping. The picture unreeled. It was funny and spectacular and tuneful. The only trouble was that the audience couldn't hear all the dialogue, because of the clapety- clap-clap from the 300 Annie Okley- ites, every time a new face flashed in front.
 Picture Ends
 Finally the picture ended. A celebrated vaudeville actor (whose name mercifully must remain un- revealed) walked on to the stage and the audience walked out. He sang his song to the back of the free customers heads. The latter strolled across palm-studded square to the Biltmore Hotel (still as guests of Paramount) descend ed into that hostelry's night club, and ate Chicken Salad Biltmore, Cassolette of Sea Food, Newbery, and Chicken 8 La King en Patty Shell. The studio also provided cocktails and Sherbets and cakes and coffee and Cordials and no telling what else.
 Applauded Each Other
 The Hollywood movie goers weren't much interested in food or drink. They were too busy applaud ing each other. Every actor in the place took a bow. Some sang a song. Others did a dance. The cam- eramen took everybody's picture all over again. August 2 turned into August and still the party was going strong. All the folks told each other once again what fine pie ture they'd seen. They didn't do any more applauding, though. The palms of their hands were too sore.

PROTEST FILED
 ON JUNK YARD'
Corporation Counsel In- structed By Aldermen to
 Determine Status

Corporation Counsel Charles S.. O'Connor was called on by the board of aldermen last night to de- eide whether property at the cor- ner of Meriden road and Woodland avenue Is being used as a junk yard. Residents of the section have claimed that the location is used for junked cars and seek to have the alleged eyesore removed from the neighborhood.
 Under the zoning laws junk yard is forbidden at the location, but 1t is claimed that the lot is used for the sale of second hand cars and not for junked automobiles
 State police will also be asked to rule on whether or not the location constitutes junk yard.
 The board authorized the build- ing inspector to grant, at his dis cretion, permit to tear down a building owned by the North East Transportation Co.,, at North Main and Griggs street. Alderman Francis Phillips voted against the motion. The city has a lien on the property for back taxes amounting to $500.
 Permission was given the board of works to lay sidewalks on both sides of Irvington avenue. The work will cost approximately $a,300.
 The board voted to amend the city plumbing ordinance to allow the use of "black wrough iron pipe" for rain water leaders or wa ter spouts. The change was recom- mended by Plumbing Inspector James Walker.

Hayfever DescribedAs
 Worry For Community
Cooperation Necessary to Obtain Relief for Victims;
 Campaign Started in Various States

at most shore resorts, relief can be had only when the wind is blowing of the water. The offshore breeze loads the air with pollen from inland plants.
 Ragweed
 Ragweed grows in abundance in vacant lots and in other neglected places. It also grows along road sides, but Is eliminated there by the annual cleanup conducted by the State Highway department. Ragweed is usually found in dry soil, and has thin, ragged leaves and spikes of green flowers at the end of the branches. It may grow from one to five feet tall. Giant ragweed, on the other hand, grows in moist soil and has large three-l -lobbed leaves growing opposite on Q thick stem with a frost-like pitch. Its flowers are insignificant and greenish in a terminal cluster.
 The United States Department of Agriculture. the bulletin said, has suggested the need for two cuttings of these weeds each year, the first just before the flowers develop, and the second just before the first cutting. Many communities are now taking steps to follow this advice and are providing funds to eliminate the weeds, but the individual home owner has responsibility of clear ing his property and adjacent lots of growth, the bulletin stated.
 Roses
 Roses and goldenrod seldom cause hayfever: there pollens are larger and heavier, and are carried by in- sects rather than by the wind, so unless @ person has close and con- stant contact with these flowers there is little chance that they will cause hayfever, Rose fever" mis- homer for early hayfever, is due al- most entirely to late spring and early summer grasses that pollinate at the same time the roses bloom.
 Hayfever patients may get some relief, the bulletin continued, if they submit to skin tests by their physl- clans to determine just which of the Towering plants cause their trouble. When the cause has been learned, inoculations with pollen extract may be given at regular intervals pre- ceding the hayfever season and the doses increased during the season If advised by the physician.
