Committee CALLED
Senate Civil Service Group to Con.
slider Pay Hearings.


The Senate Civil Service Commit
tee will meet in executive session at
II am. Friday to decide whether to
start hearings now or later on the
McCarran Government pay increase
bill.
The Budget Bureau has recon-
mended that no action be taken until
the President makes his report en- a
study, now in progress, of the classi-
fication law, compensation and re-
tirement conditions in the Govern
ment. Senator McCarran, Democrat,
of Nevada believes, however, it would
be beneficial to all concerned to start
hearings even though the survey is
not complete. He feels the hearings
would develop information helpful to
those making the survey.

IS THEME OF FILM
 PLAYING HERE
Joe E. Brown Stars at Capi- tol Theatre Tn When S
 Your Birthdays?"

An intriguing title feature "When's Your Birthday" David L. Loew's comedy starring Joe E. Brown, which ends run at the Capitol Thea Ire tonight.
 But the rather mystifying game immediately becomes clear when it is revealed that the story is con- cerned with astroloy and the plan cts, which are said to govern the lives of persons born under the different signs of the zodiac. Brown who becomes a professional astrol- ogist, was born under the sign of Taurus, the Bull, and no bull in china shop ever created more con- fusion than does the obtruse sooth- saver, who believes implicitly in the infallibility of his chosen profess sion. And through a series of lucky accidents, everything that happens simply strengthens his cinviction that every human event is definitely tied up with the plan cts.
 Marian Marsh, Fred Heating and Minor Watson play principal roles in support of Brown. This AKO Radio Picture was directed by liar " Beaumont.

FEDERAL MEN
 WAGE WAR ON
 GIGCLE SMOKE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 28. The Federal Government has for mally entered the war against Am erica's newest narcotic menace, the marihuana cigaret.
 When the potent Harrison mar cctic act was passed in 1914, gig gle smokes" were known only to a handful of Mexicans ill the south west and escaped inclusion. In the postwar jazz age they attracted at tention of western peace officers as a frequent factor in juvenile crime, and by 1887 their danger was so widely recognized that 46 of the AS states had outlawed them.
 Easily Concealed
 Now, under the form of an "ex- else tax law" Congress had en- powered Uncle Sam's trained dope hunters to go into action against marihuana.
 "Marihuana is raised largely by Mexicans in the midst of cornfields, :" says w. G. Walker, chief of the California division of narcotic en- forcement. Five hundred pounds may be grown in a patch 100 feet square and hidden in 160 acres of corn.
 We have found it among the plants of a mans backyard garden and park laborer even sowed it among his flowerbeds. The ordinary birdseed you buy for a canary is marihuana seed, so you see 1t is easy to start a crop.'
 Most Smokers Young
 In late summer, the plants mar row leaves exude a powerful mar cotic resin. The branches then are harvested, dried in the sun, crushed and rolled into cigarets. These nor mally sell for 9 cents each.
 A nationwide survey by Dr. Frank R. Gomila, New Orleans commits sioner of public safety, shows a large proportion of Marihuana smokers are boys and girls between IS and 21. They refer to the cig- arets as "muggles," and to the eff feet as 'giggle.' One cigaret of pure marihuana is usually good for a three-hour giggle.

Conlpani0nate Marriages Old
 Stuff to Japan

TOKYO. Oct. 1.. - Recent dis coyeries by Dr. Takeo Minamoto. Japanese scholar, indicate that a custom resembling companionate marriage was practiced in Japan hundreds of years before the ex- pression even was current else where.
 In Japan, the custom is known as the visiting bridegroom" system.
 It is still practiced on the island of Chigen, the Miyako Archipelago, in Southern Japan, pr. Minamoto said. When a Chigen youth decides to marry, he buys some rice wine and accompanied by his closest friends goes to see the girls par ents. His proposal is to them, not to her.
 If the parents approve, he be- comes. forthwith, the girls husband. There fs no other ceremony.
 But she continues to live in her fathers house as an unmarried woman, he works and lives as a sin gle man. He visits her when his fancy dictates, is a visiting bride groom. Custom requires that he devote half his income to her sup port, whether or not there are children.
 Later, perhaps years later, hus- band, wife and children may estab- fish their own home formally. They usually do. But, the scholar said, it is not uncommon to find twenty or thirty persons living under the same roof, in cases where several daughters have been married to visiting bridegrooms."

HORTON FILL M ENDS TONIGHT
 AT COLISEUM
Let's Make a Million Also Stars ''Pixilat-
 ed Sister"

California's native sons, who boast that their state has everything, can point to what happened during the filming of Let's Make Mill lion," the gay comedy with Ed ward Everett Horton, which con- cludes its Juneau showing tonight at the Coliseum Theatre, to prove their point. Plenty was needed, and the scenery adjacent to the studio provided it all.
 For instance, a house was need ed to conform with the architec- ture of typical Oklahoma small town, in which Horton is a store keeper who has just received his bonus, and plans to "go to town" with it. Director Ray McCarey got some photographs of typical Okla homa homes, got into his car, and drove around. In an hour he found one--a Nerfect Oklahoma home stead, in Palms, California.
 Next, he needed band stand on which an American Legion band must play. He drove seven miles more and found the bandstand in the middle of a park in Englewood. Then, needing a nice, fresh oil field, he drove four miles further and spotted just the development he wanted, not far from El Segundo. The oil field was essential, as Hor- ton invests his bonds in "black gold.'
