Larry Collins smiled down at the baldlsh man across the desk, "All right, Steve , So I'm nuts. But that doesn't change things. I'm quitting your newspaper tonight
 "Okay, Larry, cant stop you" Steve Clark's voice softoned. But you're swell reporter, and like you If l didn't, wouldn't waste five minutes trying Co keep you from making fool of yourself
 You need vacationl So do l! So does everyone, But you don't see Steve Clark quitting the job wita the grand jury blowing the top off the city hall, And con. vontions, campaigns, and elections coming up" Steve's temper was getting away from him, "AlI right Collins, take a vacation l But when you're broke and look ing for a job, don't come back to Steve Clark 1 made you and by tho eternal, can make another cub reporter into Just as good q man"

STATE

Jack Benny in his newest and biggest comedy Buck Benny Rides Again" opened It's four day engage ment at the Warner Brothers State theater yesterday and today the whole town Is talking about the gags, music and hilarious comedy that makes this picture a must sec"
 If you intend to see this hit before it ends Saturday evening, and you really should, we recommend an eX- tra strong belt to guard against side-splitting; and your oldest dress or suit of clothes, against rolling in the aisles. For Bennys newest picture is undoubtedly his funniest, and if you can contain your mirth when Jack mounts q horse and rides the herd, then you are tougher than yesterdays audiences,
 We further defy you not to howl with laughter when Rochester does his inimitable imitation of Fred Astaire. And we guarantee you'll be dancing the Shuttle o ito Roches- ter-er- Buffalo in the aisleS, unless you have iron-bound will power :.
 All of which is by way Of saying that Jack Benny and his radio troupe against horse-opera back ground have the time of their lives and so will you Whe nyou see them In this gay hit at the State,
 It is really worth the price of ad- mission to watch the popular radio and screen star on his first attempt 70 ride horse or tWirl lariat, since no one can register fruStra- lion quite as well as Jack
 The story starts with Jack and his colleagues at broadcasting station. The shift to the wild west begins when Jack tries to impress his girl friend played by Ellen Drew, with the notion that he owns a ranch in Nevada. Ellen takes him up on 1t, with the result that Jack has to be extricated from his diff culty by Andy Devine. who actually owns a ranch. And that is where the fun begins.
 Assisting Jack are Rochester who still continues to heckle his boss and steal scenes: Phil Harris, Andy Devine and other popular members of his company.

 Spring in the southwest. Nothing like 1t, though Larry Collins as he drove along the broad highway. Cat tie grazing in greening pastures. Calves bawling. Here and there the broad green waves of wheat. It was good to be home.
 Four days of steady driving had changed his city pallor to a healthy red. Tn Q few more days even Steve Clark would never recognize him.
 Larry's thought drifted on, to the task ahead, Just where he would begin tracking his brothers murderers, or how he did not know. Possibly Colonel Harris would have some suggestions. If necessary Larry was confident he could pose as an eastern gangster, hiding out, and possibly work his way into the confidence of the gang. Years of work on the police beat had given him Q pretty fair Idea of what a real gangster is like. He could decide that later.
 He sped through town, through forest Of oil wells, caught u glimpse of Q cotton field of to his left. oil, cotton, wheat, cattle. No wonder this state was great

 And that's what they've done, and you want to go down and cover it," Clark broke in.

 The man called Bill lost all his friendliness, He showed past Larry, carrying heavy suitcase, tossed it Into Larry's car, then climbed behind the wheel,
 The man with the gun backed toward the roadster. "The ladyll keep you company, buddy, Be smart now, and you won't get hurt. Thanks, Mlssus, for Rettin' us by the cops"
 Larry cursed softly as he watched his car disappear down the highway.

loomed before him. Larry slammed on his brakes, slid to a screeching stop. A blue-coated patrol officer stepped from the side of the roao, gun in hand.
 "step out, with your hands up" he commanded.
 Larry shut off his motor, climbed out of his car, hands in the air. Another officer covered him from the far side of the patrol car. The first patrolman came up to Larry, searched him quickly, then inspected his car,
 "okay," he called after min- ute, And to Larry: Lets have a look at your license
 "It's on the steering post, " Larry said, May I ask, what Is this oil about2"
 The patrolman returned to him, You're all right. You can go on now. There's been a holdup, and we're stopping all cars. Sorry to have bothered you, but we have to do it."
 No trouble. Hope you catch them" Larry shouted as he drove away He had been tempted to tell them he was Hugh's brother, but when the officer had not recognized the name he had thought it wiser not to mention t., Hugh wasn't well known In this part Of the state. Perhaps the chief wanted to keep it that way
 A good lunch and couple Of cigarets erased the memory of the holdup from Larry's mind. Two or three more hours would bring him to his destination, first stop in his search for Hugh's killers, If that gang caught him, he'd get no more mercy than they had shown Hugh
