 The prop man returned from the telephone laughing. What did he say?" asked Ford. "He said, Milk herp" replied the prop man. They did, and it worked, too. HAIL TO
 THE CHIEF!
 The Burbank Fire Department lent a battalion chiefs car to War ner Brothers for sequence in Battle of City Hall," and the chief himself went along to see how pie lures are made. Standing behind the camera, he was mortified when a studio work man went over and began sloshing paint over the Burbank insignia of his shiny automobile. But an as- sistant director shushed his protest because a scene was about to be shot. A few minutes later another workman took spray gun and de- liberately dulled the highly-polish- ed finish so that the glare of lights wouldn't be reflected. By this time the fire chief was so outraged he couldn't talk.
 They shot the scene with the car then, and got it in couple of takes. Immediately afterward third work man took a damp cloth and wiped off the paint which was merely watercolor. Then he polished the surfaces which had been dulled with liquid wax. "Your cars ready, chief," said the assistant director. Much obliged. <"
 You're welcome" said the chief. "Very interesting. |. call me any RIGHT CHURCH,

 At 10 o'clock some extras drifted in. They sat around and talked. Then an electrical crew arrived with truckful of lights. At Il o'clock Jimmy Cagney sauntered in and sat down. What are you doing here?" asked Reagan.

HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
That Fiery Lupe Velez Is Really A Fiizzing Firecracker On The Set
BY PAUL HARRISON TEA Service Stan Correspondent

NEA SefV1ce St1H OOrrcSpOnUeut
 Hollywood All over the lot: The Mexican firecracker, Lupe Velez, is back in pictures and just as sizzling. She's SO irrepressible that everybody on the set is exhausted by mid-af- ternoon.
 It looked as if Lupe herself might be exhausted this afternoon, for she lay under a peach satin coverlet on bed canopied by peach satin. Her peach satin pajama jacket was edged with fur. All very lovely and languid.
 But that only lasted about a min- ute. The director said, Cut" and Lupe leaped out revealing that she wore only the top part of the pa- jamas- lover her dress, I mean. In stocking feet she danced on the car- pet to her own chanted accompani- ment, swore when she stubbed a toe, rode piggy-back on the should- CTS of a complainign makeup wom- an, tickled an electrician and dove back on the bed, where she bounced ecstatically.
 She really had fun in the next scene. Edward RoquellO and Miss Velez were struggling on the bed when Donald Wood, dressed in morning suit and top hat, rushed into the room and swung at the heavy. Doquello unlimbered a left hook that knocked Wood out of camera range and onto a mattress on the floor. Lupe then hopped on the bed and bashed Doquello over the head with a breakaway vase (made of resin and painted). She hit him so hard that he really was dazed as he staggered and fell. Small pieces of shattered vase flew all over the set.
 Dorothy Arnold, the screens rising
 young glamor girl, confesses that she used to be tomb0y, and even
 now is a rabbid baseball fan.
 Lupe giggled happily. we do it again, please? Thees ees fon" BOVINE PROBLEM

Rev. Francis X. Quinn Induces Bandit ToQuit
New York Priest COnfrOnts Armed Convict, Who Held Off Squads of Police-Srrenders Gun to
 Clergyman After Advice

New York, April = (U.P.) The Rev. Francis X. Quinn, a Roman Catholic priest, his hands in the air, walked across fire escape five stories above the street and climbed into room where gunman held two persons hostage against police. No shots greeted him, to his sur prise. Instead Joseph Naumo, 23 an ex-convict, who had just held up a restaurant, lowered his gun. "Sit down on the chair at that end of the passage and let's talk things over," he said.
 On the fire escape, in the street and on the floor below were scores of policemen, armed with machine guns and tear-gas bombs. Three bandits had held up the restaurant getting about $500 in cash and jew elry from customers, and had fought gun battle with policemen in radio cars. Edward Gunther, 27 es- capped but was captured and Naumo broke into the fifth floor apartment of Merton A. Nicholas, 63, assistant treasurer of the Missionary Educa- tion Movement of the Methodist book concern, hoping to hide. The third got away, 4.
 Naumo threatened to kill Nicholas and his wife when police began pounding on the door. They broke into another room and tried to talk him into Surrendering.
 Father Quinn was called and he asked Naumo to give himself up.
 I'm afraid the cops'll give me my lumps," Naumo said. Besides, he would get 60 years because he al- ready was a tWo-time loser.
 That's very short time com pared with the eternity you'll re- main in hell if you continue like this" the priest said.
 He prayed and police brought in the captured gunman, Gunther, who told Naumo. "Aw. better give your self up, Pal. No ones been hurt. It's only meat-ball rap. All you did was stick up a coffee pot"
 The priest told him that police had promised to spare him "go- ing over"
 Naumo, torn by indecision, threat ened to kill himself. Father Quinn said:
 use your heart. Come outl Have a heart for the old people here"
 "Okay,' Naumo said, handing the priest the gun.
 The drama occurred yesterday morning.

 Madrid, April 3.-(UP)-National- ist authorities today ordered all Re- publican soldiers in the Madrid area to report to concentration camps for classification as to their liability to reprisals for opposing the National istS in the civil war. Authorities sought urgently to get the food situ- ation back to normal. People were shivering in threadbare garments and were seriously undernourished. Physicians arriving here said that there were thousands of cases of Tuberculosis. Many people were so weak they could not carry normal load upstairs. Undernourishment was particularly noticeable among child ren, physicians said, and they feared a serious situation if there was a sudden outbreak of influenza.
 It was disclosed that 10000 form CT Republican soldiers already had been rounded up, in addition to 1,500 Red Criminals"
 Nationalist authorities planned to divide the Republican soldiers into two groups first. One group, those who had shown no Republican sym pathies but were conscripted into the Republican army, were to be re- leased. Two others were to be divid- ed into two categories. Those who have Republican sympathies but have committed no crimes" will be put into labor battalions, it was said. and the remainder. accused of crimes" will be court martialed. -------~-

While Attempting to Deny Efforts to Encircle Germany, It Was Stated Brit
 ish Pledges Mean What They Say
MORE THAN FOUR NATIONS
 WILL BE IN STOP HITLER MOVE
BY FREDERICK KUH (United Press Staff Correspondent

London, April - (U.P) - Great Britain warned Adolf Hitler today that she means business in creating European peace front-backed by vast military power-to maintain the independence of all nations and prevent Nazi domination of the world.
 Bring All Nations Into Pact
 Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, hailing in the House Commons new epoch in which Britain stands ready to fight in defense of free Europe revealed that the government hopes bring all nations including Soviet Russia into the united front against all Naz aggression
 Refers To President Roosevelt
 Referring to President Roosevets challenge to any attempt to dominate the world by force the prime minis ers historic declaration expressed hope that might be maintained but left question to the determination of Britain and France to go through with military guaran tees that will maintain tour independence and that of all states which might be threatened by aggression
 British Pledges Mean Something
 Although Foreign Secretary vscount Halifax perfume to denied in the House of Lords that Great Britain seeking to encrcle" Germany the prime minister vgor ously adecared in the House of Commons that "a new epoch had been inaugurated in foreign policy and that British pledges of military aid to Poland meant just what they said

JAPAN HOLDING
 KEY TO EUROPE
Diplomatic Observers in U. s. Believe That Under
 Present Conditions
BY HARRY w. FRANTZ United Press Staff Correspondent


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, April 3.-(UP) Some diplomatic observers believed today that Japan holds the key to the worlds future as result of the Ger man-British rift.
 The unfriendly position taken to- ward each other by Chancellor Adolf Hitler and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appeared likely to precipitate new balance of pow CT i'll which the United States might be importuned to join.
 Japan, with her vast armies schooled in the field and her huge naval construction program, it was believed, may be forced to choose between allegiance to the Berlin Rome axis and diplomatic irdepend- ence.
 Powerful Combination
 Entry of Japan into Rome-Ber- lin-Tokyo military axis, observers be- lieved, would produce combination so powerful that most other coun- tries of the world would feel con- strained toward a common diplo- matic purpose for their own safety.
 However, it was said that if Japan remains outside, she might be able to prevent the swift specialization of two great blocs. Some experts be- lieve she is strong enough to play an unfettered role in world politics and to bargain not only for her own na- tional advantage, but conceivably for restored order in the Far East.

Grady Boy Searchers Have Quit Scovil Dam
They Concentrate Once More on Swamps Near Lost Boys Home-May Drain Swamp to Make

 His employees, Chase Brass & cop- per company, granted him leave of absence to conduct the search as long as he desired.
 State Police Still Act

Poland, Rumania, Jugolslavia, Turkey, and Greece were involved in the negotiations to which Cham berlain referred. Poland already has been given military pledge which Chamberlain strengthened in his speech as Polish Foreign Minister Josef Beck arrived ill London for negotiations which may marek it two-way defensive pact.
 Rumania Has Accepted
 Rumania has been given similar offers which Paris official sources reported she had accepted. Nego, tiations are underway with other powers in the face of Hitler's de- claration on Saturday that Ger many would fight any attempt at "encirclement."
 That word was taken up by Chamberlain in fervent oppression of hope that the chain of alliances being built up by Britain may never be called into play and that war may be avoided.
 Tt is fantastic" he said, ito sug- gest this policy, which is a policy of self defense, should be described as policy of encirclement if by that term were meant encirclement for the purpose of aggressive action. The discussions contain no threat to Germany as long as Germany is a good neighbor"
