 TO BE HELD
 BY TEN MEN

 Power Board Soon

WASHINGTON, March 25. = The Senate today adopted resolution proposed by Senator Alben w. Bark ley calling for joint Senate and House investigation of IVA.

 A committee of five senators and five representatives is provided for in Barkley's resolution, and s50,000 expenses. The resolution now goes to the House.
 The inquiry will attempt to deter mine whether dismissed Chairman Arthur Morgan's charges are true or not and whether or not IVA has been partial to large corporations by supplying them cheaper power.
 Also to be determined is whether or not IVA accounting methods have been honest and if rural cleo tricity users have been forced to purchase unnecessary appliances in order to get IVA power.

12 noon = Senator Pittman of Nevada, chairman of the foreign relations committee, demands that $600,000.000 be added to the bil- lion dollar naval program. A bil- lion, he says, isn't enough, what with so much trouble piling up across both waters.
 12:30 pm.-President Roosevelt lays claim to two pill-box islands 1,200 miles south of Hawaii Noth- ing much grows on them, not even fresh water, and mighty little use can be made of them except in trans-Pacific flying. In case of war, it is pointed out they might be useful as landing fields for land or sea planes.
 l pm. - Lunch. Two reporters covering the Treasury Department debate over their pie and cheese sandwich whether Japan can fin ance her armies long enough to sponge up the Chinese mess. And if the U. s. went to war with Ja- pan, would England step in at once to help out? Or would iC perhaps stand on the sidelines for two years. as we did in the World war.
 2 pm-Foes of the present war profits bill declare it does not take the profits out of war but converts any wartime President into a dic- tator with absolute power over all industrial, military and civil af- fairs.
 3 pm.-The maritime commis- sion awards contracts for freighters to small Florida shipyard with a tWo-fold purpose:

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 25.-This town is so super saturated with talk about the mechanisms and dangers of war that the subject worms into every discussion.
 It is rare day when a White House press conference closes without some reference to warfare or the intricacies of international relationships growing out of cur rent wars or scares of wars.
 Take a sample day. In a spot or two 1t is composite of two or more days, but the picture is the same of the wide variety of war-toned business afoot.
 l0.30 am. President Roosevelt is asked at his press conference whether he still is convinced the battleship is essential to the first line of defense. He comedies there is room for argument but points out that the skilled military minds of all countries are focused on the issue-and all of them go ahead with battleship building That, he says, is what he has recommended in his billion dollar" navy pro- gram
 1l:00-House naval affairs com mittee hears Glenn l.. Martin, air plane manufacturer, plead for doubling the air quota in the naval program. He contends that Sl06,- 100000 is not enough. It ought to be doubled. Even while Martin teStifies, Lester P. Barlow, wartime inventor of bombs, bustles impa- tiently about the committee room. He says he has secret design for mines which can be showered from the air upon an enemy navy, filling the water so full of death- lodes that clusters of battle craft will be sunk trying to work their way to safe water. He protests he is not given fair hearing, that the Navy department is trying to smother his ideas.

SEN. COPELAND IS FIGHTING FOR
 ALASKA SALMON
New Yorker Supports Bills Protecting Fisheries
 of Northland
By ]. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate DimOnd

ASHINGT TON, March IA Special Correspondence) = Taking up the gage of battle in the Senate for the preservation of the salmon fishery of Alaska, Senator Copeland of New York, on March ', and again on March 10, spoke at length in defense of the bills introduced in the Senate by Senator Bone of Washington, and introduced in the House by Delegate Dimond of AL aska, to prohibit the taking of Alaska salmon by Japanese or other foreign nationals in the waters ad- jacent to the coast of Alaska.
 Supporting the arguments ad- vanced by Delegate Dimond in his testimony recently given before the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, that the sal mon spawned and matched in the inland lakes and streams of the Territory are the property of the United States, and that the United States has the legal right to de- clare jurisdiction over the waters of the Boring Sea east of the boundary between the U. s. s. R. and Alaska, which are less than 100 fathoms deep, for the protec- ton of these salmon, Senator Cope land emphasized the A m CT ic a II property right in the salmon as supported by the legal doctrine of the animus revertendi or intention of returning.
 States Rights
 Explaining this doctrine as main taining the states right or owner ership in wild animals or birds which stray across the states boundary, but retain the intent or instinct to return to their original location, the Senator from New York fortified the legality of his argument with quotations from a translation of Gaius' Elements of Roman Law and from Blackstone's Commentaries.
 Following the Identification or his case in the fundamentals of civil and common law, the Senator said: So we find the authorities and the great masters of the law preaching the doctrine which MT. Dimond and others interested with him are seeking to apply to the salmon to demonstrate the Amer ican ownership of these salmon, because they have animus rever- tendi." Applying this doctrine to the Alaska salmon, the Senator continued, Now we come to the salmon. With respect to the sal mon of Alaska, the animus rever- tendi is unGuestioned and undoubt- ed.

the past five years. Shirley looks to
her mother for every decision. and so
do the directors of Shirley's pictures.
Many doubt if Shirley could contine
without her mothers good-natured but
sharp supervision. This is the closest
mother daughter bond Hollywood has
known since the Pickford combina-
ton, and it is very likely to continue
indefinitely through Shirley's adult
years.
Although it has never been publi-
cized to any extent, Bette Davis de-
pendence on her mother cannot be
overemphaszed. It was she who ad-
vised her now famous daughter to
make haste slowly" in her plans to
return to New York after her first
disastrous year playing sister roles"
in Universal pictures. Bette had
learned, long since, to take her
mothers lunches seriously, so she
waited. The leading role opposite
George Arliss in The Man who
Played God" was her immediate re-
ward, and stardom followed.
Mrs. Leila Rogers, mother Of the
popular Ginger, is an ever-active par
ticipant in all plans that involve her
daughter Ginger went on the stage
as a child dancer and Mrs. Rogers
gave up her home to manage and
chaperone her.
Few mothers have been so closely
identified with the careers of daugh-
tiers as the mother of Anita Louise.
A more recent addition to the long
list of mothers invading Hollywood
with promising daughters is Mrs. Cora
B. Lane, mother Of the Lane sisters,
Lola, Rosemary and Priscilla. She
lives with the two younger girls, Rose
mary and Priscilla, and acts as busi-
ness manager for them.
Mrs. G. N. Fontaine, mother of Olivia
de Haviland and Jean Fontaine-
they're sisters, although using different
names-has remained in Hollywood
through the years her girls have worked
in films. although her home and her
husband are still in Saratoga, Calf.
There are dozens Of other lesser
known mother daughter combinations,
of course.
In spite of the record she has estab-
lished, Hollywood ofacially continues to
frown on the movie mother.
Mothers can be and usually are 4
big pain in the neck" explains one
producer-anonymously, as might be
expected. They're hardheaded, often
unreasonable and stubborn. And they
always fight every trivial point to the
last ditch"
Nevertheless, the spirit of the great

half dozen productions of Hamlet
OF the most recent, Leslie Howards

in the classical Shakespearean style,
the stylized postures and carefully

Evans has a different Interpretation
Of Hamlet. He plays the sad man with
all the poetry Shakespeare has written
into him, but at the same time he
reads the lines with a swift pace that
makes them seem for most of the time
as If this were play written by a
