"Over in some corner working with

Moreover, there is the possibility that
stealing him away from his next radio

the last person in the world to want
you to feel that way. Don knows it,
SO he disappears for minute and
comes back with what appears to be
Seabiscuit smoking long. tawny cigar
It is not Seabiscuit, however. 1t is
Jack Benny, as you knew it would be
all the time.
It seems funny, but you do not asso-
ciate Jack with motion pictures in
spite of the fact that the immediate
environment is filled with Akin Tam
iroffs, Monte Blues and chorus so
gorgeous you just want to settle down
there and all grow old together. Mitch
ell Leisen, the director: the camera
crew and scores of major and minor
players and technicians are also pres
ent to give the thing a studio atmos-
phere, but you still associate Jack with
radio and Sunday evenings around the
fireplace listening to him.
In spite of all the work he does,
his public do not have to worry
about Jack. His health is fine. and
he is thriving on six times as much
effort as the average person puts
forth.
You hear a lot about Benny being
kind of scientific humorist on the
air. a fellow who works out inflec-
ton. timing and all the other details
of his programs with as much care
as surgeon. But it really is not as
hard and fast as that in the affairs
Of the Benny stock company.
"We can't overrehearse," he says
"We are careful not to do so. The
program has to sound spontaneous,
and to sound that way it must be so.
Consequently we don't use stop
watches or anything like that We
run through the script couple of
times, then forget it SO it will sound
natural on the air. AS matter of
fact we do two shows every Sunday,
you know. And the second one some
times is less effective than the first.
That's because We have learned our
expect laughs from the audience and
have tendency to change the tim
ing to accommodate them. That's not
SO good"
Mr.. Benny, who undoubtedly has
been over the same ground thou
sands of times before but does not
mind it at all, drops radio for pic
lures at this point. The lights are

Right to Worship,
He Charges

MUNICH, Nov. 7.-SuppreSsion
of individual rights by the Nazi
government was severely criti-
cized here in a courageous sermon
by Michael Cardinal Won Faul-
haber, ranking official of the
Catholic Church in Germany.
The Cardinal, who has expressed
opposition to the Nazi regime be-
fore, spoke at the Munich Cathe-
dral before 5000 persons.
LISTS RIGHTS
An individual, Cardinal Faul-
haber said, who has served the
state and the people, sis entitled
to definite individual rights" "
These rights, he declared, are as
follows:
The right to believe in God;
that of demonstrating faith by
attending divine services without
hindrance or risk, and freedom
of opinion.
Speaking of Nazi action against
those who wished to attend church
services, the cardinal pointed out
that prisoners at Dachau concen
tration camp, which houses many
political prisoners, are refused al
kinds of spiritual attendance.
~ DEFENSE NECESSARY
The cardinal, who enjoys diplo
matte immunity since the Vatican
appointed him papal legate, tolG
the congregation that under
present circumstances the Catholic
Church is obliged to defend the
rights of the individual "just as
in times Of extreme liberalism il
stood up for the rights of the state
and community"

2lst Anniversary Of
Revolution Marked
By JAMES E. BROWN

MOSCOW, Nov. 7 GN.S0.-So-
Wet Russia's military might again
went on display today to the &C
compartment Of proud boasts
aimed at Germany and Japan as
the country elaborately celebrated
the twenty-first anniversary OF
the bolShevik revolution.
Warning "our stupid neighborS
in Japan" that the fighting last
summer on the Siberian-Korean
frontier was lust small lesson
in Russia'S strength" Defense
Commissar Klementi Voroshilov
reviewed a two-hour parade in
Red Square.
BIG AIR SHOW
The show was climaxed by an
aviation demonstration, watched
by Josef Stain and other mem
bers of the politburo on a raised
platform in front of Lenin's tomb.
Thousands of workers marched
through the square carrying ban
ners covered with patriotic and
defiant slogans. Heavy tanks
rafting across the pavement at
full speed featured the mechan-
lied section of the military dis
play.
Noticeable among the diplo-
mats was Alexander Troyanov-
sky, ambassador to Washington,
who does not plan to return to his
American post, as he wishes to be
near. his son, who is going to
school in Moscow.
GERMANY ACCUSED
The festivities will conclude to-
night with a reception by Foreign
CommiSsar Maxim Litvinov.
Voroshilov's pointed remarks
about the Changkufeng incident
of last summer reinforced the al
legation by Premier Vyacheslav M.
Molotov that the clash was con-
ceived by Germany with a view to
testing Soviet foreign policy and
the strength Of the Red army.
In the presence of Stain, Molo-
tov said that the Munich accord
for division of Czechoslovakia was
a British and German victory"
over France.

ARMS TO GUARD
BOTH AMERICAS,
WELLES STATES.
u. S. Can Meet Attack
From Any Source"

Q.N.S0 Urging further tight
ening of the bonds among the 81
American republics, Undersecre-
tary Of State Sumner Welles last
night said the American Govern
ment's rearmament program, and
its policy of cooperation with Pan
America, were part of program
to insure the Western Hemisphere
against any attacks from a for
eign nation.
In a radio address, Short-waved
to Latin-America, Welles said:
"AS a nation, we will assure
ourselves that we are in a posi-
ton to defend ourselves from
all aggression from whatever
source it may arise, and to be
prepared to join with our fellow
democracieS Of the world in pre-
serving the Western Hemisphere
safe from any threats Of attack"
SITUATION TENSE
He said that the world situation
today makes it necessary as never
before that there should not exist
between the American republics
any shadow of misunderstanding
E. in their common relations.
"At time of great crisis not
many weeks ago." he said, "a
practical demonstration was
given to the world of the great
moral force that can be ex-
ercised by public opinion. The
unanimous appeal of the 81
American republics for the
maintenance of peace in Europe
cannot be overestimated in its
effect.
THE American republics to-
day are bound more closely to-
gether by understanding and by
identity of purpose than they
have ever been
FRIENDLY DISCUSSION
Periodic meetings of repre-
sentativeS of the several gov
ernments, such as the coming
conference at Lima, give the
opportunity to perfect organiza-
tion and procedure and to dis
cusS our problems in a frank
and friendly manner.
VITAL TO FREEDOM
"That (this system be
strengthened and upheld is OF
vital Importance to every one
of our nations. Our respective
freedom, independence and fu-
ture may depend upon our con-
tinued solidarity.
Just two years ago the
American republics in a joint
declaration unanimously pro-
claimed that any threat to the
peace of any one of the Amer1-
can republics was threat to
the peace of all of them, and
justified immediate consultation
between them all.
LIBERTY AT STAKE
mot only the physical in
tegrity of the nations Of the new
world but the security Of the in
dividual rights and liberties OF
their citizens may depend upon
the maintenance of that rela-
tionShip.
How can there be peace in
the world, as the President said
the other night, if the reign of
law is to be replaced by the cur
rent sanctification of sheer
force?
as a deliberate instrument the
dispersion all over the world of
millions of helpless and perse-
cuted wanderers with no place
to lay their heads; if men and
women are not free to think
their own thoughts, to express
their own feelings to worship
God?"

ARMISTICE SOUGHT
Sir Archibald informed the

an armiStice in the hostilities and
of appointing an intermediary to
act between China and Japan.
PRELIMINARY MOVE
The British representatives en-
phaSized that the appeasement
effort was still in very preliminary
stages"
The negotiations between Kerr
and Chang explain Great Britain's
failure to participate with the
United States and other inter-
ested powers in joint or parallel
action against Jspan's slamming
