''EBB TIDE'
 IS SHOWING
 AT COLISEUM
Film Stars Ray Milland and Frances r armer in
 Thrilling Plot

The first sea story filmed in Technicolor is on the screen, 'Ebb Tide at the Coliseum. Taken from story by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne, "Ebb Tide presents the famed European char acter actor, Oscar Homolka, in an American picture for the first time
 Homolka, in his first role here, lives up to expectations in his char acterization of Captain Thorbecke, a broken sea captain who has lost his ship and papers through drum kenneSs. He has the knack of, mak- ing even the worthless Thorbecke a likeable character. His support ing cast is more than the name inn plies, since it includes Frances Far mer. Ray Midland, Lloyd Nolan and Barry Fitzgerald of the Abbey Play CTS of Dublin.
 Midland and Miss Farmer supply the romantic interest of the tale. Their love story is strange one, for Midland is beachcomer friend of Homolka's. while Miss Farmer is the orphaned daughter of sea cap tain, who meets him while he and Homolka arc planning to steal her ship. The aritagonism of the two is slowly changed to a comradely feeling as they go through several narrowing experiences together When they are at last released from the danger that threatens them, they realize that they are in love The story then develops to a great finish.

Der FueIlrer? He's
 Just Wonderful Is
 Opinion Of Woman
But Unity Valkyrie Free man-Mitford Is Not Co.,
 ing to Marry Hitler
By WILLIAM McGAFFIN
AP Feature Service Writer

LONDON, Aug. 3.-"Then you're not going to marry Hitler?"
 No" laughs the long-legged blonde. There's not word of truth in the reports" Just good friends eh?"
 That's right"
 She calls him Mine Fuehrer' and he calls her Unity"
 Her full name: The Honorable Unity Valkyrie Freeman Milford. She is the tall, hefty, 23-year- old daughter of titled insurance mag nate, Lord Redesdale.
 Hitler first spied her when she was lunching in a Munich cafe where he frequently goes. He saw her blue eyes and yellow hair-and asked for an introduction.
 Wears Hitler Badge
 Today she wears Nazi party badge which Hitler ordered special ly and autographed for her. She carries his autographed picture wherever she travels And when you ask her what she thinks of the Fuehrer, her face lights up and she respond with an enthusiastic: :: He's wonderful"
 Her demeanor was icy as she strode into the reception room of her fathers fashionable Rutland Gate home, and it wasn't until we started talking about Germany that she warmed up.
 It's partly because of her admira- ton for Mine Fuehrer," partly, she says. because she likes the country and the people, that she intends to become German citizen some day.
 She has lived in Munich most of many in 1883 to attend the first party congress at Nuremberg after the Nazis came to power.
 May Have to Get Job
 She says she thinks she could easily enough" become a German citizen right now if she wanted to- But "for various reasons" she can't apply now.
 I ask her what she plans to do after she becomes a German citi- zen.
 q should have to get job, suppose she replied. She has never worked. But she wouldn't mind
 There's a strong German ophile strain in the English although most of them don't carry it as far as Unity.
 Unity's elder married sister is such an ardent Nazi she has train ed her small sons to greet all visit ors with raised arms and a "Heil, Hitler" But Unity's younger mar ried sister is bringing up her little daughter as a staunch Communist.
 Unity lost her Nazi badge this spring when she provoked a near riot by wearing tito Save Spain" rally in Hyde Park.
 "A Jew tore is off me-" she says, in contemptuous tone.
 Fuehrer COnfides in Her
 But the Fuehrer gave her a new one when she returned to Ger many.
 She broke into the headlines again when the Czechs stopped her at the frontier as she was leaving after a visit, searched her luggage,

 I ask her what she thinks of the ,ecent Jewish purge in Austria.

BERLIN, May 27. (UP)-
A new incident in which 2
Sudeten German farmer in
CzechoslOvakia was beaten
by Czech soldiers was report
ed today in the newspaper Arbeiter
Sturm.
The Czech soldiers asked a Ger
man farmer working his land near
kaplitz to show his identification

farmer said he never carried them
while working and was knocked
down by the soldiers with spades
and gun butts, it was alleged, and
was taken to hospital in serious

which bombed Cerebere, causing
considerable damage and two cas-

officials were ready, if reports
proved true, to protest to the Ma

Fifteen bombs were dropped near
the railroad station. Two persons,
one a Frenchman, were reported
wounded and three houses were
damaged. Several railroad coaches
were smashed.
1t was asserted that there was
reason to believe that the bombs
might have been of Italian manu-
facture, but this was not confirmed.
Panic spread through Cerbere as
the bombs dropped into the town
during a fiesta in which 400 dane
erS were celebrating in the market
square. The dancers and others
fled in terror to the railroad tun-
nels and most of the people spent
the night there.

UNION AGENT
LOSES SECOND
COURT BATTLE
Court Dismisses Case
Against George
King

BRAWLEY, May 27.-Joe
Humphries, Carpenters UNI
ion business agent in charge
of labor trouble at the dis
trict standby plant, lost his
second brush with the courts Thurs
day
The court dismissed a disturbing
peace charge against George King
after brief hearing in justice
court. Humphries accused King OF
abusing F.. Leja, one of the pickets
at the plant. The business agent
requested dismissal Of reckless
driving charge filed against John
Lamb, district employe, after ne
discovered he was not driving the
car the picket said almost ran him
down as he stood in the picket line.
Another John Doe warrant was OBJ
tanned by Humphries as a result
of the labor trouble initiated against
a private contractor at the pl mt
more than week ago. That war
rant has not been served.

B. Griffin and told him he was the
man wanted in John Doe warrant
signed by Humphries after an argu-
ment King had with F. Leja, Melo-
land, one of the pickets. King said
he did so because he was driving
his sons automobile at the time OF
the argument and did not want his
son involved in any trouble with
the unions. HEnphrieS testified he
knew nothing of the argument ex-
cept what Leja told him.
The argument developed, King
testified, because he saw Leja writ
ing the automobile license number
after he drove by the picket line.
He stopped the car, he said, to talk
to the picket because he wanted to
avoid trouble which might develop
for his son thr ough the
license number. He declared he did
not enter the plant but kept on the
highway.
Leja denied he had written the
license number down, King continu-
ed, so he pulled card out of Leja's
shirt pocket and found the numbers
written there. He displayed card
he alleged he took from Leja. King
admitted he snatched Leja's foun-
tain pen and smashed it with an
idea of keeping him from writing
other car numbers down. Leja ac-
cused King of abusing and cursing
him.
The court stopped an argument
between Humphries and King and
dismissed the case.
