MANv|LLE GETS
A JOB; TIRED OF
PUBLIC'S JIBES
PIayboy to Go to Work
And Prove His MettIe

NEW YORK, Sept. % (C.TP.sJ.
Tommy Manville wishes to inform
his public that it's dirty canard
about him being q member Of the
idle rich who never earned a days
pay in his life.
LISTEN" Tommy said today,
"I'll show themI I'm going to
work at 9 a. m. next Monday
and I'll be on the job on time"
IN DRESS SHOP
Tommy says he is to be a Gus.

which means that he's going to
peddle the style creations Of that
swank couturiere to the women
Of the haute monde.
The way Peggy Hoyt, Inc, looks
at 1t, Tommy has had so much ex-
perience with women - mostly
blondeS-that he'll be worth sal.
airy Of $4,000 a month-for one
month. His permanent rate of
pay viii be determined on the re-
suits Of that first month.
The way Tommy looks at It
well, aren't there SO models in
the shop?.
"And I'll have direct charge
Of dressing them" he grinned.
HE'S SERIOUS
But there's a sterner purpose,
and don't think that Tommy
doesn't take his new life seriously.
He's going to put a share of his
asbestos millions into the firm,
and prove his mettle to those citi-
zens who wrote him disparaging
letters when he spent $4,000 ad-
vertising for an attorney and
agreed to pay his fourth wife,
Marcelle Edwards Manville, $780,
600 for a Reno divorce.
Listen" Tommy repeated,
It'll show them. I've worked
before-in a bakery, as a chauf-
feur and as a clerk. I'll show
them I'm not just a worthless
playboy."

FREE CITY OF DANZIG, June
1.-THE Oldest and highest leaders
OF German Nazidom and the Danzig
Nazi chieftain proclaimed to each
other yesterday that Danzig is a
German city.
Albert Forster, local leader Of the
party, welcomed 500 members Of
Adolf Hitler's old guard Nazis to this
city. which once was German, but
now Is independent under a League
Of Nations constitution, with the dec
larAtion that. You will see it your
SELF"
Labor Front Leader Robert Ley,
speaking for "Hitler's elite" of the
party replied: Wherever Germans
live. there is Germany"
Their stop in Danzig was a part Of
. trip to Marenwerder, East Prus-
sian city near the Danzig frontier, for
party meeting.
Open declaration of Nazi belief
that Danzig is a German city re-
newed speculation on whether Hitler
might consider steps toward regain
ing Danzig, which lies at the top of
the Polish Corridor dividing East and
West Prussia.
NaziS control the Free City's ad-
ministration and are in a position to
throw over the constitution. If such a
step were taken, the form OF gov
ernment and institutions could be
made TO conform With those of the
Reich.
Hitler originally planned to ad-
dress the MarienUerder rally on Po-
1Ah frontier problems but Cancelled
