Did the President Seek Pennsylvania Compromise?
By RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat Washington Corre-
 SnOndent

Washington, April 25- President Roosevelt tried to forestall the Democratic row in Pennsylvania by getting party leaders to agree on his friend William c. Bullitt, ambassa- dor to France, for governor.
 And each new outburst of scandal in the historic Pennsylvania prim- ary fight indicates what bright idea that was-or would have been, if it could have been made to stick. But Matt McCloskey, Philadelphia political boss and contractor, broke up the play by insisting that the state machine endorse Charles Alvin Jones of Pittsburgh.
 At least that's the story told by Senator Joe Guffey, which no one seems to deny. Guffey. who was sup posed to be undisputed boss of Pennsylvania himself until other leaders ignored him by choosing to

Thoroughly delightful is the screenplay Hawaii Calls" Bobby Breens latest musical starring ve- hicle. AS its name indicates, the story is laid in the Hawaiian Islands and here, against the tropical lux uriance of the South Seas, were filmed the greater part of it's scenes. Waikiki Beach and other famous points of interest in Honolulu and the surrounding country form the setting for much of the action. The film excels in the performance of it's leading player, in the number and quality of his hit songs, in the beauty of it's backgrounds, In las eX- ceptional cast and in its Sprightly, thrilling story.
 Several songs are sung by Bobby Breen during the progress of the picture, and these include Hawai- Calls" and Down Where the Trace Winds Blow two new hit tunes by the noted songwriter Harry Owens; another is That's the Hawaiian III Me" while the traditional favoriJes include Song of the Islands" and Aloha Oe." AS appropriate to the action Bobby also sings the old Irish classic "Macushla." Raymond Paige and his orchestra are featured in the production.
 The supporting cast is headed by such favorites as Ned Sparks, Irwin s. Cobb, Gloria Holden, Warren Hull and Juanita Quigley; hundreds of picturesquely garbed HaWaiians are seen in native festivals and in Honolulu's oriental district.
 The story follows the adventures of Bobby and his litte Hawaiian friend, Pua Lani, two boys who have earned their living on the streets of San Francisco. They make their way to the Hawaiian Islands as stoWo. ways. Befriended by Ned Sparks, ships musician, the boys escape from the ship at Honolulu. There they embark on a series of hilariously amusing adventures which culmin- ate when they become the central figures in 8 dramatic search for a band of criminals.

escaping from the Waterbury-Naug- atuck main gas feed line, when the same was cracked by reason of varying frost pressures in North Riverside street, but that said death was not caused by any criminal act, omission or carelessness on the part of any other person or persons.
 Although there is no criminal negligence attributable to this death it would appear that where a large gas supply line is traversing popu- lated areas it should be maintained at such a depth as to be beyond the influence of frost pressure. This par ticular line was installed in 1902 and Of course, the circumstances sur- rounding the use of the highways which it occupied have changed very decidedly since that date, and it would appear that system should be installed which would more defin- itely insure against breaks of this character occurring.

agreeing to recommended Bullitt for the state committees endorsement. Switch?
 Another curious hind-the-scenes angle is found in Guffey's assertion that McCloskey's original candidate was State Supreme Court Chief Justice John w. Kephart, Repub- lican. McCloskey used to be a Re- publican himself. And there's a growing administration fear in Washington that by blocking Bullitt and precipitating the current ven- detta, McCloskey has almost assured election next November of Clifford Pinchot, who seems the leading Re- publican gubernatorial contender, and of Republican Senator James J. Davis.
 There's also the possibility that Guffey gives McCloskey too much credit. For John Lewis, regardless of Roosevelt's wishes, might well have insisted on running his man

the Nationalists shot down a Loyal ist Martin bomber. By their ad- vances during the week end, the Na- tionalists asserted, they had pene- trated beyond Torreblanca, 9 1-2 miles from Castellon De La Plana, their next objective on the road to Valencia. The Nationalists were ad- vancing with a spearhead of about 2 1-2 miles width, taking in ground on both sides of the roads leading southward.
 In the San Mateo-Vinaroz area they consolidated their hold of the Sierra De Valdancha, and thus got control firmly of both the Zaragoza- Valencia and Barcelona Valencia roads in that sector, as the hills lie between the roads.
 The principal developments were:
 1. Fri motored NationalistS bombers swept down from their new air base at the Ebro Delta and bombed the port of Valencia and the suburb of Grao. Several fires were started. The planes were driven of by anti-aircraft batteries.
 3. Some 4,000 Loyalists were killed in a battle at Alcala De Chi vert as the Nationalist continued their drive down the coastal high way on Castellon and Valencia, go- ing beyond Alcoceter on the sea.
 3. Nationalist forces from Tremp battled their way 15 miles east along the road between the Noguera Pal laresa and Segre rivers toward Sec De Urgel on the French border They reached a point near Abella De La Conca and were nearing the Rialp river.
 4. On the south central front in the big pocket formed by a line ex- tending back from the Ebro Delta southwest toward Teruel. National ist forces were making rapid pro- gress after taking the eastern slopes of Sierra Del Pop. south of Aliago
 At Alcala De Chivert the Loyal ists formed what amounts to liv- ing wall to oppose the Nationalist advance, it was asserted, and main tained their defense in the face o1 Nationalist machine guns until theii ranks were destroyed.

 Abide By Contract
 Martin notified General Motors officials that the union expected to abide by its contract, which forbidS strikes until all negotiation ma- chinery has been exhausted, but he also warned that i've expect Gen. eral Motors to do the same thing. and we intend to live up to our union constitution" The constitu- ton provides that JAW officials must obey the mandates of the rank and file. The strike vote at the Buick plant was $500 yes; 2,080 no; at the Chevrolet plant, $500 yes; 2,016 no.
 Vote Exceeds Employed
 
 The two plants in Flint now em- ploy only 13,500, and the vote eX- ceeded that nuclber by 6,500-pre- sumably unemployed members. The JAW workers at the Bay City plant also voted to strike May 1 unless grievances are settled, and a strike would force two Fisher body plants here to close, and possibly close all Chevrolet assembly plants in the country.
 Elmer E. Dowell, in charge of General Motors units of JAW, be- lieved the danger of a strike was not imminent. He said company of- fcials had assured him that they would not tolerate any such abuses as the union had charged.

 So important was the situation, in the British view, that it was fore cast the Czechoslovak government would take no stand before Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and viscount Halifax, foreign secretary, hold the first of two-day series of conferences at the foreign office Thursday with Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet of France. France Bound by Treaty
 France is bound by treaty to go to Czechoslovakia' aid if she is at tackled. Great Britain declines to undertake specific commitments in central Europe but it seemed to be increasingly apparent to Britons that they would be dragged into war on Frances side if she were attacked on whatever ground.
 Because of the new situation, it was predicted with increasing con- fidence that the possibility of tech- nical cooperation of the British and French air forces would be major item for discussion at this weeks conversations here.
 It was said here that these con- versations would be the most inn portant held in London in two years, since those which followed Germanys denunciation of the Lo- carno treaty guaranteeing the peace of western Europe.
 No Doubt About Germany Berlin, April 25-(UP)-Reaction in political quarters to speech by Konrad Henlein, leader of the Ger man minority in CzechoSlovakia, seemed to leave no doubt today that Germany was prepared to support with all its influence the demands of the minority for autonomy.

 Budapest, April g - UP)-Hun- garians took the first important step yesterday toward revision of the Trianon treaty which Hungary sign- ed after the World War, and by which she lost rich territories.
 Twenty thousand people, at a mass meeting under the sponsorship of the Magyar Nationalist associa- ton, approved a resolution calling Czechoslovakia "The Vanguard of the Red Army in Central Europe and pledged themselves on oath:
 Not to rest until self-determina- tion has been granted to German, Hungarian, Polish, Ruthenian and Slovak populations in Czechoslova- kia."
 It was asserted that the Czechos- lovak government had ignored the rights of a majority of the citizens of the country and thereby had created permanent tension with neighbor countries and menaced world peace.

meant now, because he was unhappy
and his unhappiness was due to the
friends he had made in New York.
They weren't a fast crowd, nor racy,
nor ultra modern, nor wealthy, nor
highly sophisticated. They were in
telligent. That was what was wrong
with them. They talked about things
that were way over Jerry's head.
Books especially. They'd take a cur

lecture, which was his business. He
had a hard time keeping up even on
that subject.
Vaguely, Jerry knew that in order
to appear intelligent you must be able
to talk about the arts and be able to
form a logical opinion about them.
That was your passport to the right
circles. Even so, he probably would
have given up if it weren't for Sandra
jackson. Sandra was a secretary in
the of1lce where Jerry was employed.
1t was she who introduced him to the
intelligent crowd. He marveled at
her ability to discuss anything with
anybody, He knew he'd never be able
TO increase his scope to equal hers,
yet he couldn't give up He had fallen
IN love with Sandra Jackson.
TINE passed and Sandras initial
interest in Jerry seemed to lessen
and to become more intense where
Charlie Akerly was concerned. Jerry
didn't think much of Charlie Akerly.
He had weak face and drank a lot
and talked in loud voice But he
could talk about the arts. and this, it
seemed, was what Sandra wanted in
a man.
So Jerry became desperate and cast
about in his mind for an idea. The
idea came one day when he was saun-
tering through Times Square. 1t ap-
peared in the form Of a great electric
sign advertising a current movie.
Jerry stopped and stared at it. The
picture advertised was an adaptation
