 He has no recourse if no studio executive will view the, test, or if no casting director sees the magazine or if no talent scout comes to be spellbound by his histrionics. FACING
 TWO CHARGES
 Occasionally, as in the case of Overdorff and his corporation, an enterprise is so enthusiastically pro- noted it makes claims a district at torney may consider actionable. At this writing Overdorff is charged with false advertising and petty theft. The complaint is signed by a Wichita Falls, Texas, dance teacher, one of a reported 1900 operators of dance schools which have subscribed at $100 minimum to the company 5 franchise plan.
 This Hollywood reporter recently received several inquiries from east ern and mid-western cities about the company's standing. Before Overdorff was arrested, I had exam ined copies of National Talents prospectus and it's contract form and had talked with one of the mothers who decided to complain to the district attorney.
 The handsomely printed pros pectus identified I. c. Overdorff as Americas foremost director of juvenile talent" He once held . state license as a talent agent. This license was taken up, and it's re- issuance refused.
 The franchise guarantees the schools that at least one pupil from each school year will be selected and used for personal appearance in motion picture to be produced in Hollywood.
 DECLINES
 TO EXPLAIN
 Overdorff has declined to ex- plain how he proposed to dis tribute for exhibition any pictures he might make. Reputable inde- pendent studios, with established stars such as Republic with its Gene Autry, find themselves unable to sell their 'best products to leading thea ters having block booking commit ments with major studios. Yet Ma tional Talent Pictures promises the reader of its prospectus it's pictures would be shown "in one of the leading theaters of your city"

that President Roosevelt accord me
q new audience and admit that peace
demands more than international con-
ferences-it demands a permanent Or
ganization"
Delegates supposed he meant "audi-
ence" IN its more figurative sense,
meaning that NJ Herriot hoped his
words would reach the President. M.
Herriot discussed the war debt situa-
ton at the White House In April,
1893.
Although the Radical-Socialists for
mulated no specific invitation for
American participation in European
affairs, today's speeches and the reso-
luton made plain that the party
hoped that Washington would join
In an eventual economic conference.
Urges Economic Settlement.
Georges Bonnet, foreign minister,
called for widespread economic settle
ment IN Europe as the sole way to q
lasting peace and M. Herriot asked
the United States to participate in
the work of peace"
Mr.. Bonnet characterized the peace
OF Munich as a good basis for recon-
struction OF Europe and let it be
known that France was ready to talk
over economic arrangement OF the
continent with Britain, Germany and
Italy.
Although long a champion of the
League OF Nations, M. Herriot said
that 1t, with its "pacts, covenants and
private treaties. is sunk beneath the
waves and we are watching the ship

State attorneys axmen seemingly go
on indefinitely.
On the West Side. South Side. North

regularity.
To date more than $50 alleged bet

to ruins by the prosecutors raiders.
How much the reduction to smither-

in dollars and cents to the handbook
men is not known, but Capt Daniel
Gilbert, chief of the State attorneys
police, ventured a guess of 100000
when the axmen had passed their
500 mark.
The places raided have ranged from
elaborately furnished establishments
to those in which the outlay was small,
but the total has been giving the
handbook boys the jitters.
For weeks the axmen have been
sallying forth on their errands Of de-
struction. They have struck almost
every day since last August II, when
the prosecutor, tired of losing case
after case in courts, ordered his men
to get busy.

Par|ey.
By the Associated Press.

MARsEILLE, Oct. 2s.-The govern
Ing party Of France, the Radical-So-
cialists, today closed its national con-
vention with an implied invitation for
the United States to help buttress the
peace Of Munich In 4 world economic
conference.

and Ito limit possible negotiations ex-
clusively to q study OF fair redistri-
button Of raw materials"

relations between the four great pow
ers will permit the calling OF an inter-
national conference at which, in ac-
cordance with the wishes Of President

adopted, Edouard Herriot, president of
the Chamber Of Deputies, speaking ex-
temporaneously. said, I'VE have all
