 NEW RESOLUTIONS
w. C. Fields Resolves to Be More Tolerant of
 Charlie Mccarthy

The "Be It Resolved for 1939'' club got together in Hollywood yes- terday and in nothing flat resolved the following resolves:
 Deanna Durbin pledged herself never to shorten her practice hour by even five minutes. At the end of 1889 she has determined that her voice shall be a soprano so true in pitch and volume that she will be able to sing perfectly the whole Mimi role of La Bohemo".
 Danielle Darrieux cabled her New Year resolution from Paris: ''For 1899 will learn to speak American without the trace of an accent"
 W. c. Fields resolved to be more tolerant of Charlie Mccarthy dur ing 1889. Tt will call for great restraint and self-Sacrifice, but I am willing to try it," he said.
 Edgar Bergen said if he were making 1889 resolution 1t would be to raise Charlie McCarthy's allow ance. But he isn't resolving any, thing this New Year.
 Charlie Mccarthy is determined to retain his lead over Adolphe Menjou as the best-dressed man in Hollywood throughout 1888. He won it with the ten complete changes of costume he wears in You Can't Cheat an Honest Mar" i"
 Mayor Andy Devine resolved to set good example to his conStitu- ents in Van Nuys, next year. Not once will he take more than one scoop of ice-cream with his apple pie, nor permit his bathroom scales to read more than 250.
 Jackie Copper set himself the task of developing his boxing to point where he can easily outboz all the Little Tough Guys.

 Nan Grey resolved not to breakfast on Coca Cola once during 1889.

 Vincent Price wired his from New York: Resolved to fly back to Uni versal as soon as Broadway commit ments in 1899 will free me"
 Bing Crosby pledged himself to make Universal's East Side of Heaven" the best picture of 1889.
 William Lundigan resolved to learn more about Hollywood and its en- virons in 1889, so that when his par ents come to California again from Syracuse, he won't have to call on the Los Angeles travel bureaus for help in entertaining them.

GREENHOUSE HEAD
 GETS SIG A YEAR
Vermont us NameIess MOuser Protects Exper-
 mental Plants

Burlington, Vt, Dec. 30 = The University of Vermont's nameless mouser, who works for $16 per year keeping the University greenhouses free of rats and mice, is to have a name. This afternoon, December 29 at 1:15 o'clock the appeal is to go out as a part of the Farm News Program of the Blue Network, orig mating with Station WIZ, New York.
 For three years the nameless big black mouser has stalked the Uni- versity greenhouses, with connect ing doors left open for his accom- modation, and so well has he done his job that poisoned grain and wire mesh are no longer needed to protect the seed beds and valuable experimental plants.
 There have been other cats, but this big black fellow is the first of his kind to turn the trick, and has been put on the payroll of the Uni versity. One month his keep is paid for by the Experiment Station and the next by the agricultural col- lege. In the course of year it amounts to about $16. He has no official time of, but those in charge of the greenhouses state that on bright moonlight nights, now that the rats and mice are no longer Q menace to his preserves, he will sometimes go a-roaming and for get to return for 8 day or two.
 Other cats have come and gone but somehow failed to i'll the bill. Some, as soon as they learned what it was all about, simply deserted. Others ate the mice that had eaten the poisoned grain and died at their posts. The mice themselves seemed to thrive on the poisoned grain, and proved too much for teh ingenuity of the Ph.D.'s, but the big black hunter has solved the problem.
 The other cats acquired names For some unknown reason this fel. low never had one. Fate was wait- ing. Today big radio audience will be in on the christening. But meanwhile the big hunter himself goes blandly on, making his round of the greenhouses, where class room and research work depend so much on his faithfulness.

A short recess was then called. Returning to the bench, Judge Mas colo resumed questioning
 "You know you're under oath, don't you?"
 "Yes," said Battiste.
 "Well, tell me-" asked the judge, "if you met Lieut.. Hobart before you went into the restaurant?"
 Battiste said he had not.
 Did Lieut.. Hobart send you in there?" the judge inquired.
 "No," was the reply. Not Engaged by Police
 "Were you engaged by the police to get evidence against this mana" the judge inquired.
 Battiste said he was not
 'I'll give you one more chance to tell the truth" the judge said. Did Lieut.. Hobart send you in there to buy drink?"
 "No," said Battiste, and he re- peated his denial, when the same question was asked twice more.
 Judge Mascolo turned to Prose- cutor Mitchell Meyers and said: Under the circumstances, MT. Pros- ecutor, I think you should issue 8 warrant for this witness arrest on a charge of perjury"
 Case Continued
 The judge then fixed bonds at $1,000, and continued the case till next Wednesday.
 As to Ziminsky he said, Certain circumstances in connection with this arrest have come to my atten- tion, and there is a reasonable doubt in my mind as to the accused's guilt. I'll discharge him"
 It could not be learned what was the basis of Judge Mascolo's appar- ent belief that Battiste was we'll known to the police and had been sent into the Ziminsky restaurant by them to secure evidence. As to the evidence on the alleged bribery att tempt, the judge indicated that Bat tiste had told 8 different story on the stand today than he related to him in chambers Tuesday. At that time, Battiste apparently was seek ing to lodge 8 complaint against Attorney Kata.
 First Hearing Yesterday
 The first hearing of the zimnsky case was held yesterday, but Bat tiste was not present. Attorney Kata reported that a sheriff had sought to serve subpoena on him but had been unable to find him.
 Battiste was the only witness heard this morning.
 A most unusual situation will arise when Battste is arraigned in city court on the perjury charge, and Judge Mascolo and Prosecutor Mey- CTS are in the courtroom as witt neSSeS.
