Ghost tComes
To Little

"The Ghost Goes West" pop
ular film dealing with the &C
tivitieS Of q fun-loving Spook,
will be revived at the Little
Theater, beginning Sunday.
This Alexander Korda produc-
tion, starring Robert Donat and
Jean Parker, presenting an
amusing tale involving the I'M
poverished young master Of .
Scottish castle, an American
business man who buys 1t, his
daughter and the playful ghost
who complicateS a love affair, re-
mains with the castle when 1t Is
torn down and transported
across the Atlantic.
Robert Donat plays the roles
Of the harraSsed young man and
the spirit Of an ancestor who re-
SembleS him, Miss Parker Is the
daughter Of an American food
magnate, and Eugene Palette
plays the clustering tycoon who
takes Q castle home with him,
attempts to use its spook in q
publicity campaign for his prod
uctS. Others In the cast include
Elsa Manchester, Everly Gregg
and Hay Petrie.
Contributing much to the ap-
peal Of THE Ghost Goes West"
Is the superb direction Of Rene

movies, musical features be con-
sidered separately.
There Is no logic IN having
"Alexander's RaEtime Band"
compete with ''Test Pilot,"
Marie AntOInette" or 'LOve
Finds Andy Hardy" And how Is
"SnOw White and the Seven
DWarfs" to be classified, since 1t
has NO living actors, but happens
to be the No. / boa office fea-
ture? The Pulitzer prize and
the award Of the Broadway
critics for the best play, draw
the line on musical comedies.
Why not Hollywood?
I second, toe, the suggestion
Of I'd. Sullivan that the
Academy might also consider .
separate award for juvenile ac-
tors and actresses. It's unfair to
make Mickey Rooney, or Deanna
Durbln, compete with . Bette
Davis or Spencer Tracy.
WHY NOT MASSEY?
The No. / actor on Broadway
today IS Raymond Massey, who
plays the Emancipator President
in "Abe Lincoln in Illinois," the
Robert s. Sherwood play.

plays the lead role in United

Hon. Poison Oak Eczema
Now Is Being Treated

Of poisoning is dependent to GER
tain extent on the amount of resin
left on the skin. At the first symp-'
toms then, vigorous and repeated
washings with soap and water. fol-
lowed by cleansing of the skin
with alcohol or ether, and then re-
washing with soap and water, Is
imperative. Ether soap Is also
valuable. All sorts Of soothing To-
lions should be tried, calomine To-
ton or zinc oxide lotion. The
watery lotions are better than the
salve. If these are not available q
baking soda paste can be made and
smeared on the affected part.
It was in the department OF pre-
vention that DR.. Ingals' exhibit
was the most noteworthy. An al
coholic extract Of poison oak leaves
is prepared. It can be taken Dy
hypodermic dosage, or by mouth
or added to the bath water drop
by drop. In these ways an immu-
nifty is built up, and exposure need
not be feared again.
One man told me he was able to
go camping comfortably for the
first time in his life after using this
extract by mouth. He went on q
two weeks trip in the woods and
walked through poison oak and
handled it without any harm. Be-
fore that, he said, even reading
about it made him break out in a
rash.

Report Absurd

Study Protest
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The proposed report to Congress
on the telephone industry was
termed incorrect, incomplete and
unsound" in brief filed with the
Federal Communications Commits
sion yesterday by the Bell System
Telephone Companies. The report
was written by Commissioner Paul
A. Walker after IS months of hear
ings. 1t now is before the F. C. C..
The companies declared that their
requests to cross-examine commits
sion witnesses and to submit their
own witnesses had been denied.
Commissioner Walker contended,
among other things, that inventions
had been suppressed and installa-
ton of improved equipment delayed.
useful inventions are not sup
pressed" the companies replied.
Selfish interests induce the patent
owner to put the device on the mar
ket. In the very nature of things,
unused inventions are for the most
part the discards-the outmoded or
second-rate things"
Defending its purchases of equip
ment from Western Electric Co., an
affiliate, which were criticized in the
proposed report, the Bel System
said:
western Electric assumes the re-
sponsibility of meeting the maxi
mum demands for equipment re-
quired in periods of rapid plant ex-
pansion of the telephone system.
No monetary value can be set upon
the service Western renders to the
telephone companies when great
emergencies make 1t necessary i'm
mediately to rush vast supplies of
material to stricken areas"
Replying to charges of lobbying
and Of employing some legislators
as its attorneys, the system said it
had no objection to legislation re-
quiring that all legislative agents
be registered.

T.V. A. Overlooked
Norris Dam Edid,
Wo|verton Charges
Producing Power Goal
Set by Original Act,
Representative Says

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Wolverton, Repub-
lican, Of New Jersey accused the
Tennessee Valley Authority today OF
Overlooking" what he called q
congressional edict that Norris Dam
be constructed primarily for produc-
ton of power.
Sherman M. Woodward, chief OF
T. v. AS water control section, had
just told the T. v. A. Investigating
Committee the dam had been built
chiefly for flood control and navi-
cation
Reading section of the T. v. A.
Act requiring that dam be con-
structed Ito develop maximum pri-
mary power" Representative VOL
verton asked, "Why didn't T. v. A..
follow the edict of the law?"
Should Include Power.
Il don't understand that it means
primarily for power" Mr.. Wood
ward replied. THE law says it
should include power"
1T seems to me-" Representative
Wolverton commented, the T. v. A..
is so anxious to avoid the suspicion
OF building power that it attributes
everything to flood control and nav
igation. You have overlooked the
fact that the original act required
the dam be built for power"
Mr.. Wolverton submitted esti-
mates that reservoirs to be Gre
ated by four dams alone-Gunters-
vile, Chickamauga. Pickwick and
Wheeler-would flood acreage with
an annual crop production worth
$3,126 900.
Mr.. Woodward said he was not
familiar with the estimate. He con-
tended T. v. A. was trying to pro-
tect the Tennessee Valley from
floods and to prevent damage in
the Mississippi Valley as well. The
latter, he said, was more fertile and
had a tremendously greater" crop
value.
Sees Lands Destroyed.
That's a brand new one," Rep
resentative Wolverton snapped. Il
never understood that before. You
are justifying the destruction of
Tennessee Valley lands to save more
valuable lands in the Mississippi
Valley"

cation he said he had received from

5000 FACE Traffic Tickets
As '39 1aq Barriers

District motorists have q little
while longer this year to obtain their
1899 license plates, but more than
5000 drivers will not get their tags
at all unless they satisfy trafIic
tickets issued against them in 1898.
The Police Traffic Bureau yester-
day announced that more than 5000
warrants have been issued for Dis
trict motorists who did not satisfy
tickets this year, and unless the
charges are adjusted the persons
named in them will be unable to
obtain their 1899 tags.
The new time limit on 1898 tags
gives District motorists until March
to place the new license plates on
their cars, and applications for 1889
plates will be mailed from the Police
Traffic Bureau starting January /.
Car owners may begin using the
1899 plates February /.
Police officials said yesterday that
the applications of all motorists
named in traffic warrants were be-
Ing extracted from bureau files. In
spector William E. Holmes, super
visor OF traffic, said the bureau
would accept IS collateral on each
warrant. He advised, however, that

million acres "of the finest soil in
the United States" drive 10000
persons from their homes, and wipe
out 145 miles of highway, 40 miles
OF railroads. 10 towns and villages.
Mr.. Woodward said he considered
these figures much too high. T. ".
A. estimates. he added, showed only
100000 to 100000 acres would be
flooded, and that $500 persons
would lose their homes.
