Explains Success
Of Wild Westerns

Westerns are always popular be-
cause they are clean, according to
Harry Sherman. who should know
because he produces the Hopalong
Cassidy series for Paramount. Mr..
Sherman has recently completed
shooting on a different type of
western, Heritage of the Desert"
which now is at the Beverly the
alter.
According to Producer Sher-
man, other reasons why westerns
are perennial favorites are: pro-
family Is absolutely forbidden; the
hero doesn't drink and doesn't
smoke; the little fellow ultimately
whips the bully; and the hero
never beats up someone smaller
or weaker than himself. His fans
would forsake him on the spot If
he ever broke this code.
Take Heritage Of the Desert"
for example. There isn't the
slightest innuendo of any sort in
the story. From start to finish.

To Diminish Tension

ROME, May (P).-Foreign diplo-

belief that the new Italian German
military and political pact would
have the immediate effect of dimin-
ishing tension caused by Germany's
demands on Poland.
With the Italian press they In
terpreted the pact-which was an
nounced at Milan yesterday-as a
friendly brake on German aspira-
tlons in Eastern Europe. equivalent
to an insurance policy against Italy
becoming embroiled in war over
Danzig or the Polish Corridor.
The authoritative Fascist editor
Virginio Gayda indicated in II
Giornale d'Italia that Italy and
Germany expected Britain and
France to negotiate now on "open
problems "-Danzig and Italian
claims against France.
He indicated also that the Rome

military action at this time, but
said this must not be taken as

hailed q new German italian mill
tary pact as "a mighty bulwark Of
steel guarding European peace" to-
day and took the occasion particu-
larly to direct Poland's attention to
its implications.
Whether or not a new theological
reshuffling Is bringing Germany
closer to Soviet Russia, the reaction
to the agreement indicated plainly
it was aimed not at the old Nazi
bugabo0 Of communism. but at what
Nazis call the 'encirclement powers, "
especially Great Britain and France.
The pact, the result of talks by
Italian and German foreign min
listers, was described by the off,
cially inspired commentary service
Deutsche Dienst as crushing blow
against the aggressive encirclement
policy which England and France,
with the cooperation of certain
states poland, Rumania, Greece
have long pursued against the pow
ers of the axis Germany and italy,
This authoritative service said
that the speech last Friday of the
Polish foreign minister, Joseph Beck,
offered Germany and Italy no
occasion for revising their concep-
ton of the character of that policy
which London and Paris seek to
establish as something obviously
defensive"
