Broadway itself today is a dirty gaudy street. It has always been a dirty, gaudy street There is still the picture of honky tonks, the noise and curiosity. People mill ing, people talking, people hurry ing, people happy and people dis contented. Broadway has always been 8 dirty and gaudy street. always a happy street and always street of sorrow and disappoint- ment. The same people, obstensi- ply, have pounded it's pavement in yesteryears as of today.
 Broadway has changed. So they say. I say again that the change has been so gradual that Broad way is still the same, despite the difference-some of it good, some of it bad.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June 23.- Janet Gaynor's new leading man is 26, former college instructor of English, a playwright, stage di- rector and an actor with firm conviction that six months at time in Hollywood is enough.
 Richard Carlson signed a movie contract only when he got the kind he wanted-six months here, six months away from here.
 Another thing he wanted in his contract was provision that he could write and direct as well as act. He got that too That is not un- usual. Hollywood frequently gives that type of contract. It is unusual, however, that Carlson seems to be doing something about it. He is already working on his first screen writing assignment, is already mak- ing periodical trips to cutting rooms and laboratories and all the studio departments to study the screen business from the inside out.
 An Athlete
 He has been writing plays since high school days in Minneapolis. At the University of Minnesota he kept on acting and writing and took on directing. In high school he had played football and hockey in addition to numerous extra curricular activities. Tn college he concentrated on golf in the sports line, sailed through his regular courses with time to spare for dra- matics. Tn 1894 he had his M degree, Phi Beta Kappa, S2,500 in scholarship prizes, and job as English instructor. He stuck it out three months.
 By that time I'd realized the college life was not for me-" he says. Tt seemed like living in a world apart, behind high pro- tecting wall I could look around and see examples of what I was afraid I might become. Professors who talked like pundits, positive ly, profoundly, duly. All were not like that, but enough were to frighten me away"
 He took his $2,500 and started the Minneapolis Repertory com pany. In six months his $2,500 was gone. Merle Potter, Minneapolis drama editor, advised New York or Hollywood He came to Holly wood, with a letter to Gloria Stu art and her husband Arthur Sheekman, who had been St Paul drama critic. They sent him to the Pasadena Community play house, where he directed and acted
 When he hit New York by bus he pounded the pavements only three weeks before he got a job that lasted 32 weeks. When he played with Ethel Barrymore in The Ghost of Yankee Doodle" in New York the picture offers began  He got the one he wanted from Selznick- Playwright Sidney Howard read his play, Western Waters" which had Topped on Broadway.
 Contract Protection
 He took his test for 'The Young in Heart" from scenes he had dramatized himself from I. A. E Wylie's novel This was confusing when he came to play the same scenes for the picture drama tized differently by Paul Osborn He would keep reciting the lines he had written instead of Osborn's lines. If he ever gets to write, di- rect and act in a picture he wont have that trouble.
 The way these three-way con- tracts usually work out is that tho producer, if the actor clicks, for gets about the writing and direct ing. Reminded of this, Carlson says: Even if I click, the six months clause would protect me, I'll be away

MADRID, March rs [P)-Govern-

the Northeastern Aragon front Thurs
6av. but not. however, without infllct-
ing big infantry losses on the in
slrgents, a government communique
asserted.
While the fighting was intense, as
the enemy advanced behind tanks with
the support of many airplanes, gov
ernment troops slipped behind the
advancing column TO render a dis
estrous blow upon insurgent infantry
which was marching TRANQUILITY down
the main road from inSurgent Zaragoza
toward Bujaraloz.
Two government SQuadronS swept IN
low to blast with machine guns the
motorized infantry troops there. The
damage was heightened by surprise.
inasmuch as insurgent infantry took
the planes for their own.
Casualties sustained by the in
srrgents. who failed to disperSe in
time, were enormous" the government
communique said. Many trucks. ap-
parently loaded with ammunition,
blew up and the entire column was
6lsorganized
Government aircraft, however, later
suffered severe reverse.

said.
The altitude from which effective

HENDAYE, France, March 25.-
Svift-moving insurgent columns, ad-
vancing on the Aragon front from the
west and southwest, reported early
today they had reached a point three
miles from the strategic government
stronghold Of Bujaraloz.
NaVarrese and Galician troops, sup
ported by cavalry, drove down the
zaragoza-Lerida highway during the
night. the insurgent command said
scattering government defenders, tax
ing a large number of prisoners and
capturing much war material.
Quick Victory Predicted.
An official insurgent report predicted
the fall Of Bujaraloz shortly and said
the town already was under lombard
ment by insurgent artillery and avia-
tion.
Generalissimo Franco himself was
said to be with the advancing troops,
maintaining contact with advance
guards at his field headquarters behind
the front lines.
Hard riding cavalrymen and heavy
tanks took the lead on the ground
and bombers and machine -gunners
rode the skies to clear the way for
the infantry.
Rain Spoils Operations.
Insurgent dispatches said the only
obstacles to the campaign were cold,
drilling rain which spoiled opera
tions. and scattered resistance from
handfuls Of government fighters
around Huesca.
The insurgents Southern Aragon
forces marked time at the Caspe-
Alcaniz line, waiting for other columns
to draw up for decisive push north

WALLACE ASKS
/. REVIVAL OF AAA
PROCESS Levy
Supreme Court Ruled
Out Tax in 1886

Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace stood by his guns for farm
crop production control in his
annual report.
To make production control ef-
fective and give the farmer an
assured income, yet make the pro
gram pay its way, at least in part,
Wallace asserted some form Of
processing tax was essential. The
processing tax Of the original
Agricultural Adjustment Act was
held unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court more than two
years ago.
CITES SURPLUS GROWTH
Citing the mounting SURPRISES
of farm commodities, Wallace
said:
2 There are only three principal
ways Of dealing with farm sur
pluSeS. One Is to stop producing
them, and to divert agricultural
land and labor wholesale to other
ends.
Another is to store SURPRISES
IN the hope of marketing them
eventually.
THIRD METHOD BEST
"The third is to adjust farm
production moderately, through
means that keep farm land and
farm people employed, and to deal
meanwhile in special ways wit h
SURPRISES that accumulate una
Voidably.
"The third way is the only prac-
teal way; it is. the way we have
followed through various expedi-
entS for several years."
