Judge Hardy

To Retire
Lewis Stone Just
Relaxes When
Off the Set

HOLLYWOOD.
Judge Hardy sits in judgment-on
his family-less than 100 days
year. For the other 265 or so, they
all can go and catch colds or get
married or violate any of the other
Hardy precepts.
Because for 265 days, more or less,
Judge Hardy-whom we will here
after identify as Lewis Stone-is
busy doing nothing in particular
Lewis Stone celebrated a pair of
anniversaries the other day: His
.59th in the world and his 38th in
the acting business. Some one asked
him, and an inevitable question it
was, when he expected to retire.
Not until they won't have the
JUDGE mean, Stone-around any
more" he answered. "Out here in
the West they used to want to die
with their boots on. Now, it's with
their makeup on

any more leisure says Stone. Il
used to look forward TO a trip
through the Panama Canal and
foreign travel, but now that have
the time I've lost the ambition"
He said he honestly doesn't know
what he does with his spare hours.
Rides, yachts, putters and ploWs
Imagine the impeccable Stone in
oVeralls guiding tractor through
grove OF walnut trees. He does it.
You asked me what I was doing.
Well, just before you came out, 1
was making a saddle rack for my
trailer. If hadn't been doing that,
might have been cutting some
fancy designs-for goodness only
knows what purpose-with a Jig
saw.

anything when I'm not Judge

After appearing in four of the
Hardy Family series, so many ad-
dressed him as the judge and wrote
TO him, spilling out their troubles
and asking for some good old Hardy
advice, that Stone decided he'd bet
ter confine his public activities to
being just the judge, M-G-M willing.
And it was.

while I'm working on the picture

Stone, as if he had suddenly be-

But between pictures, I'm the
fellow who wants to work, but not
too much. The actor who was going

 Bathelt was charged with staying Charles Morris, 48, race tipster and horse trader. June 2l, l037 and en- tombing the body in the cement floor of a rented South Hadley sum mer cottage. The murder was not discovered until year and day later, when two Sunday school girls stumbled over the wire-trussed body in Connecticut river.
 Bathelt was brought to the court house immediately after Superin- tendent A. N. Ball of Northampton State hospital reported that tho d" fendant was sane and mentally competent"
 Bathelt's arrival was 6 surprise, for Hitchcock had announced that he would not be arraigned until this afternoon.
 Mrs. Margo Bathelt, whom the slayer married only six days after the murder, was not in the court room. Their marriage climaxed a whirlwind courtship. She was an heiress and former actress.
 Three guards led Bathelt to the bench. He was dressed in . light gray breasted suit, white shirt, light tie and white shoes. He was gmooth -shaven, having removed his ,stache while awaiting trial, Though he appeared to have lost weight since his arrest, he looked rested.
 Bathelt listened intently while the clerk read the two indictments, one Of which charged him with using . .45 caliber revolver for the murder and the second, with using an un- known weapon. The murder weapon has not been recovered.

 Sections Combined
 In dropping Mortimer Calvin and Irene Dillane from the committee, Taller has combined the two sec tons in which they were in charge into a single section, and new leader will be named. The same situation exists in the districts now supervised by Michael JAnthony, office assistant to Faller, and Frank Varinelli. The latter will be dropped.
 The new town committee set-up, as arranged by Faller and approv- cd by Upson, calls for only nine in- dividual districts, instead of the 32- district plan now in operation. The Democratic town committee will have 32 town committeeman one for each of the 32 voting districts.
 It is the Republican plan to have one man and one woman in each of the nine districts, and also allow the town committee officers to vote on all measures.

INDEPENDENTS IN
 BID FOR CONTROL
Select No Delegates for Primaries Tobin to Push
 Libel Complaint

No delegates for entry in "prima- ries" were chosen at the meeting of the Independent Democratic club last night in spite of publicized in- tention of the group, estimated to number between 35 and 40 members "to gain control of the Democratic party" at primaries and conventions this fall
 While Roger V. Connor, president of the club, was termed by his mem bership a Header of the Democratic party" Democrats today questioned this claim, some urging that MT, Connor take 8 look at the record"
 The record will show that there were more than l9,000 Democratic votes cast in the last election" said one member of the Democratic town committee. "The Independent Dem ocrats case something more than 4,600 votes. Does that make MT. Connor a leader of the Democratic partyp I think that the statement Is too absurd to warrant being di- rectly quoted in this instance"
 He added that 1t was his under standing that the Independent Dem Ocratic club has no particular stand ing in the Independent Democratic party although 1t is known that, three some contrivance, three mem bers of the club were appointed to places in the office of Controller Sherwood L. Rowland, without en- dorsement of the Independent Dem ocratic town committee"
 So far as attempt of the club to gain control of the primaries and conventions" members Of the Inde- pendent Democratic party remarked that" any club has the right to sub init list of delegates" But there are other considerations which are expected to form an impenetrable barrier to the group, some of the In- dependents remarked. They said that these developments will not be revealed for the present but were inclined to take less than seriously the agitation of the club.
 Meanwhile, Attorney John F. Tobin, currently seeking action for criminal libel against Walter Ecan- lon, member of the Independent Democratic club, for an attack made on Chairman James E. Hartley of the Independent Democratic town committee, and himself last week, was gathering evidence, It was re- ported today. He has filed a com plaint with Prosecuting Attorney Charles k.
