Ex-Con1bIer Sues
Studio For Libel

HOLLYWOOD. May 25. CUP)--
Nicky Arnstein, who was my man"
to Fannie Brice during the days
when knee-length dresses were the
rage, has filed a 100000 damage
suit against goth Century-FoX stu
dio, complaining that his past has
been defiled by the movie, Rose of
Washington Square"
The one-time New York gambler
and husband of the popular come
dienne charged libel and invasion
OF rights of privacy in his suit
which also asked for an injunction
and an accounting profits the NOV
ing picture has earned at the ma
tion's box offices.
ArneStein, an obscure figure since
Miss Brice divorced him in the
'20'S, objected particularly to being
portrayed as a faithless and dis
honest husband. The picture, he
alleged, was a takeoff on his life
with Miss Brice, depicting circum-
stances and incidents which were
wholly false and untrue"
A few weeks ago. before the pic
ture was released, Miss Brice also
lodged a complaint with the pro-
ducer, hearing trade whispers that
the picture supposedly was writ
ten about her past, she demanded

WASHINGTON, May 25. up
President Roosevelt today refused
to put the federal government into
a drive against modern cattle rus
tiers in the western COW country.
He vetoed a bill, sponsored by
Sen. Pat McCarran, D., New, which
would have created federal penalties
for persons transporting stolen ami
mails in interstate commerce.
Sponsors of the bill said the
measure would have reduced activi-
ties Of modern cattle rustlers, who
use motor trucks for their Illegal
operations on western ranges.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in his veto mes
sage, asked how far does the con-
gress want to go in extending the
federal police poWer?'
Explaining he disapproyed a SINH
lar bill enacted by the last con-

was never made public, but it was
understood that Zanuck and Miss
Brice reached an agreement, pos
sibly financial, under which she
acquiesced to having the film re-
leased.
Not SO ArnStein, who claimed that
his attorneys had warned zanuck's
company that libel suit would be
filed if it persisted in distributing
the picture. His complaint cited
numerous scenes in which he al
legged his character was debased
One was the sequence in which Bart
Clinton (Tyrone PoWer) was hired
to hoodwink Tiffany's out of $25,-
900 worth of jewelry. According
to Arnstein, this bit OF business was
a direct slap at him because the
moviemakers set up Power as
ringer for him.
He also complained of another
scene in which Clinton is shown
dispoSing of a valuable theatrical
agency and business management
contract between himself and his
wife (Alice Faye. Arnstein alleged
that this, too, was an attempt to
indicate that he years ago had de-
frauded Miss Brice.

Committee Backs
Anti-Usury Bills

SACRAMENTO, May 25 tUP)--
Anti-usury bills, strongly recon-
mended by Gov. Culbert Olson,
today were given the additional
backing of a favorable recommen-
dation of the assembly judiciary
committee for their final legisla-
tive test in the assembly.
The measures set interest rates
on the small loans at 2i4 per cent
a month on the first $l00 and 2
per cent on the next 5000 as modi-
fled by amendments adopted by the
committee. Rates were 3h and 2k
per cent in the bill as passed by
the senate.
Senator John Shelley, D, San
Francisco, the author, asked the in
terest cut because, he said, assem-
blymen had objected the original
rates were too high. Other Shelley
amendments adopted would allow
additional charges for insurance on
personal property given as security
and for recording fees required by
law.

THEN, TUCKED AWAY
Cred Lake Falls GaZette)

In the closing days of the recent
session of congress many measures
were pushed thru the mill with the
public giving little attention to the
expenditures. One of these bills
was the measure that provides each
of the 435 house members and 96
senators with an extra clerk at a
salary of $500 a year; and, still
another clerk will be permitted
senators from the twelve states
with population of more than g.
100000. The total cost of these ex-
ira clerks is $832,000. Then, tucked
away in the same bill, was the
authority to give the clerk mileage
at the rate of 8 cents per mile.

How should apples be stored?

The same conditions suitable for
the storage Of potatoes meet the re-
quirements for apples fairly well.
Select fruit that is well-matured,
free from disease, insect and me-
chanical injury. Ordinary potato
crates aid in the circulation Of air
through the fruit and are satisfac-
tory storage containers. Put the
apples in the storage cellar as soon
as they are harvested. They will
not be injured by temperatures as
low as 80 degrees +. and keep well
at 30 to 40 degrees F.-A. e. Hut

WORD OF APPRECIATION
Editor of Sank Centre Herald:

Have read with interest the
statement in your paper, "Old
Owners Not Barred from Land
Bank Farms" If this is the case
why did farmers in this COM
munity get notice that no former
owner could rent land from the
Federal Land Bank any longer,
and who was responsible for this
notice? It seems that somebody
Is passing the buck. However,
a word of appreciation is due to
our Community Club and to the
Herald for their cooperation in
this matter.
