STRAND

Starting this afternoon at the Warner Bros. Strand theater the film family of Judge Hardy will embark on a new and more thrill ling adventure in the fifth of the series, Out West With The Har- dys" the headliner of the fine twin feature bill which will entertain Strand theatergoers until the final performance Friday evening.
 It brings new laurels to its stars: Lewis Stone as the judge, Mickey Rooney as Andy, Cecilia Parker as Marian, Fay Holden as Mrs. Brady. Sara Haden as Aunt Milly, Ann Rutherford as Andy's steady" girl friend, Polly; and Don Castle as Dennis Hunt, Marian's home town boy friend. It also introduces a new guest star in Virginia Weidler, eleven-year-old frozen-faced com- edienne, who gives one of the pic- ture's top performances as Jake Holt, the "orniest" cowgal in Arizo- na, who pins Andy's ears back when he gets too cocky.
 The film is given an adventurous background of modern ranch life. The opening scene shows the Har- dys being invited to the ranch of Dora and Bill Northcote. Dora, a former sweetheart of the Judge, has read that he is an expert on water rights and asks him to aid her in a battle over river that is essen- tial to her ranch. Upon arriving at the ranch Andy immediately clashes with Jake, who proves that she is a better man" than Andy

 HITLER, IL DUCE
Rotarians Speaker Says Both Leaders Are Drunk
 With Power

Although he referred to both Mus. solini, and Hitler as Men drunk with power" Lieut.. Col. c. Seymour Bullock of South Bend, Ind, ad- dressing a luncheon meeting of the Rotary club at the Elton yesterday, declared that he would rather have ten years of Fascism under Musso- lini than 10 months of Naziism un- der Germany's dictator.
 Col. Bullock, veteran of the Spanish American and World Wars, denounced both Hitler and Musso- lini as tyrants. He condemned Hit- Ter for his racial and religious perse- cutions, destined to end in revolu- ton.
 Mussolini, he said, may at least be given credit for bringing Italy to it's present place in world affairs from its post war Reorganization.

Only The Best Trick OfA Tricky Career WiH Saue Dr. Joseph Goebbels
.Wrathful Hitler Ready to. Purge, Snowman Not
 Used to Defeat
BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Stan Correspondent

London, Jan. 4 = Whatever the truth of widely circulated reports that Dr. Joseph Goebbels was al- most beaten to death by friends of Gustav Froelich =. who was put in concentration camp in order that Goebbels might make love to the lovely Frau Froelich one thing is certain: 1t will take plenty of propa- gandizing to keep the dwarfish Goebbels in his powerful position as Reich propaganda minister. With Hitler reportedly enraged at the behavior of his mouthpiece, Goebbels, sublest of strategists and master of psychology, will have to pull one of his slickest tricks of his remarkable career to keep his high place.
 Exposure of his philanderings is severe blow to Naz dignity. Goebbels is the worlds best show man. He has pulled of spectacles that make the feats of Barnum and Richard look like a county fair.
 It is no easy job to spoon -feed some 80 million minds. That is the task of lame little Goebbels. Next to Hitler he has been the most influ- ential man in Germany.
 It has been Goebbels who led the way, rabble rousing, creating Nazi incidents, staging gigantic political parades, selling the dog ma of National Socialism.
 PATRON
 OF ARTS
 Goebbels is an unusually we'll educated man. He reads Virgil for relaxation, delights in the company of artists, musicians, scholars. Young Goebbels was studying the fine arts when his German contem- poraries were mired in mud in World War trenches.
 He was physically unfit for mili- tary service.
 Born with a clubfoot at Rheydt, Germany, October 29, 1897, he was the son of 8 steel foreman and a blacksmith's daughter.
 Ironically enough, the man who was to spread the racial orthodoxy of the Third Reich as 8 nation of NOIu1C OlcSlIlSuS SpIdIlS IllulSelI from tribe of dwarfish Nibelungs.
 At IT he went to college. Drift ing from one university to an- other, seven in all, he graduated finally from Heidelberg with a doc tor of philosophy degree in 1921. He won high honors. Young Goebbels matured to 5 feet 4 inches; he was swarthy of com- plexion, with snapping black eyes and raven black hair.
 Germany at the time Q921) was 8 fertile field for the young cru- sader. It was seethings with revolu- ton. Orators agitated from every corner. One of these was Adolf Hit Ter.
 Goebbels met the future Wuehr- CT first in 1922 at students mass meeting.
 Shortly, the French entered the Ruhr and Goebbels followed as an agitator. In 1924 he became editor of 8 weekly journal in Elberfeld

JUST A PRESIDE GAL
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

She's just f1reside gal, Outdoor activities make her shlVer' Is simply just ready to die
 when the M, D. says it's good for her liver Thoughts of hours in the cold cold snow Give her nothing at all of thrill, Skis and skates she passes up, She's never there at the kill. On a hunting party she's dud, You'll never find her running to the hounos' She doesn't figure in this winter scene Going at it in leaps and bounds. She finds skating all right to look at But you'll never see her among the many Cavorting in parks, on ponds and rinks, She's no Ehrhardt or Sonia Henie, When friends suggest winter sleighride She does her best to talk them down, She loathes the long ride on country roads Far far from the lights of town. She's just simple tireside gal, At winter sports she's no queen, She approves only of such stuff In a warm theatre on the screen.

1 his interest in housing to newspaper headlines, one might suppose the present administration had done a gigantic job in the field of low-coSt housing. Here are some more figures on that point.
 From 1930 to 1887 public agen-
 cies in England built 496,O00
 dwellings. In the same period
 public agencies in the United
 States built 29,559.
 The simple truth is that public low-cost housing has been the tragic failure of this administration. The reasons are plain. And a survey of 1 them reveals the responsibility to rest upon the real estate interests of the cities and the President. REAL ESTATERS
 MISTAKEN
 In the case of the real estate in- terests, every possible obstacle to low-cost housing has been inter posed by them upon the principle that this was putting the govern ment into private business. Of course private business is not in the l0w-cost housing field.
 There is no profit in low-cost
 housing.
 Therefore no one goes into the business. And no one can be blam- ed for it. But nevertheless low-cost housing can be made great boon l to private business,
 The housing business has two sides construction and ownership.
 Low-cost government housing does not mean government would 20 into the construction business.
 The building is done by private contractors, the materials are fur
 nished by private contractors. The
 government merely puts up the
 money.
 It does not. even need to become the owner. In fact it prefers . to see ownership vested in private municipal corporations. Nothing would so stimulate business as a real low-cost housing program. HERE'S HOW
 ENGLAND DlD H
 When Baldwin set in motion the present housing program in Eng ] land he assembled group of wealthy men, mostly of noble fami- lies.
 Before the discussion had gone
 far, one ancient person said:
 Public housing! That sounds too
 much like socialism to me-" To which another distinguished
 conservative early replied: My
 word! You talk like an Ameri- can"
 The short-sightedness of excess sive conservatives fighting bogies has been a great obstacle to hous- ing here.
 But more responsible has been the President, He has talked about housing, but done nothing. And in the days when he might have done something he made the agent and representative of the reactionary New York real estate interests his special adviser and co-ordinator on housing.
 So when anyone tells you about all that we have done for public housing, quote him the figures giv- en here. In England public agencies built 496,000 houses, while in Am erica, with twice the families, pub lie agencies built 29,559. Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

families, built less than half that number.
 Never in the 25 years that I have been interested in the low-cost hous- ing m ov e m e Il t have I heard so much talk about housing as in these years 1880 to 1887 particularly in the last six years. But n ev r, per- haps, has so little been done.
