Washington, D. c., Nov. %. -
Senator Tydings' proposal of vic
tory dinner to commemorate the
F. d. r. landslide has been very
promptly sat upon by Democratic
leaders who actually were respon-
sible for the victory.
Behind this lies an interesting
back-stage story. Towards the
end of the campaign it looked as if
Preston Lane, energetic Demo-
cratic National Committeeman and
chief fund raiser would be $4,000
short. He had sent all the funds
out to county headquarters and
still needed a sizeable amount to
pay for expenses in Baltimore City
plus other last minute charges.
Lane called three meetings of
key Democratic leaders during the
last few days of the campaign in
an effort to raise this desperately
needed cash. Among those invit-
ed were Governor O'Conor, Sena-
tor Tydings, Senator Radcliffe,
MIyu, Jackson and others. At the
first meeting all showed up except
Senator Tydings. The attendance
record at the second meeting was
similar. Tydings' chair was va
cant.
Al the third meeting the same
Democratic stalwarts were in at
tendance. This time some one
asked: Where is Millard?"
Don't ask me where he u.s." re-
piled Lane.
WAS he notified to be here?"
Well" replied Lane, II notified
him to be present at the first two
meetings and he gave no sign of
coming. So since we are getting
down close to the bottom OF the
cash box, / thought I would save
the So cents necessary for the tel

LITTLE HElSKElL

1t isn't news to us, but poIiti-
cal leaders in other sections of
the State, particularly in BaIti-
more City, are tumbling to the
fact that as an organizer, Preston
Lane is at the head of the class.
This realization, I'm told, dawned
on 'em rather suddenly while the
General held forth in Baltimore
town, as treasurer of the State
Campaign Committee.

ment OF the late campaign upon
which almost everyone agrees.
namely that the senior Senator is
not in an enviable political posi-
ton. The Willkieites are sore at
him because he did not come out
for him. The Roosevelt rooters
are even more sore. The Senator
is going to have to do lot of fence
building between now and 1914
and indications are that he is al
ready preparing for it.
ROUND THE FREE STATE
There is strong possibility
Congressman-Elect John Meyer of
Baltimore will ask to be made a
member of the District of Column
bia Committee. chairman of which
is now Ambrose Kennedy who lost
to Meyer. Incidentally, though
they are far from friends, Kennedy
gave Meyer a big political boost
forward in 1929 when he went to
Governor Richie and suggested
that he appoint Meyer magistrate
of the Baltimore Police Court. =
Clinton McSherry of Frederick,
who is president of the Western
Maryland Trust Company looms as
strong candidate for chief judge
of the Sixth Judicial District, two
years hence, as the result of his
yoeman's service in the Roosevelt
Byron cause during the campaign
- In Frederick they are saying
that Jim Gambrill, the big bust
ness man, who took leadership for
Willkie, has "Gambrilled once too
often!". Celebrated sage and
wit, Judge Eugene O'Dunne of

the toughest job in the recent
campaign - that of gathering in
the sheckles for third term can
didate. In other years, it was
duck soup to telephone the Big
Boys back in 1882 and 1886 and
tell 'em not ask 'em - to kick
in with the long green. But in
the year of our Lord, 1910, it
was different. Yea, brother, very
very different! You see, so many
of the Demmies were Iaborinq
under the impression that with
WilIkie Clubs springine up like
weeds in a vacant lot, and the
GoPites burdened with dough,
it wasn't hard to say: "Sorry,
brother, but | amt got a dime!"
The trouble with that alibi was
that the luke-warm lads didn't
know their Treasurer. He refus-
ed to take no for an answer and
if the jack wasn't at one place
he Immediately explored that
territory heretofore untouched
by political hands. Result: He
not only came through with the
necessary Iucre but put over the
show on a cut-rate basis. And
that amt bad business.
OF course, to accomplish all
this, the General didn't get
much sleep. AS matter of fact,
when the judges started to work
counting the ballots the National
Committeeman's nerves had
reached a new low. Reason for
this, hear was a "non-politicaI"
speech made by former State
candidate which almost spilled
the coffee in Baltimore, and also
the failure on the part Of another
hgh-rankine member of the Gen.
erals party to make speech in
support of the President. And
if that was cooperation, then
MussoIini is having an easy time
with the Greeks!
Political Gossip: - Of course,
this might be political propa-
ganda, but the latest dope from
the Castle on the Corner, is that
one of the prospective candidates
for Mayor will "disappoint" his
friends by shortly announcing
that he will not be candidate.
Reason for this, the report goes,
is that he fears defeat and is
not angling for State appoint
ment. The candidate is NOT Yer
non Miller, who will stick. - APP

STATE

Tonight marks your last oppor- tunity to see H. c. Wells '"The In- visible Man Returns" with Vincent Price, Sir Cedric Hardwicke and Nan Grey in the leading roles; also the limitation of Booth Tarkington' s famous classic seventeen" with Betty Field and Jackie Cooper in the co-starring leads.
 Topping the screen entertainment in Waterbury is the double hit bill opening at the State tomorrow afternoon for an engagement of four days.
 Spotlighting the programs the new comedy "3 Cheers for the Irish" with boasts a talented ast consist ing of Priscilla Lane, Thomas Mit- chell. Dennis Morgan and Alan Hale
 The picture is as Irish as a sham rock. and just the picture to see on St. Patrick's Day or, if you're Irish, on any other day. 8 Cheers for the Irish is just that, three cheers and 8 couple of tigers. If there are not Irishmen like those in this comedy, then there should be. They are grand people and 8 lot of fun to watch.
 Peter Casey was Irish, of course and a policeman, too. What else would he be in a picture of this kind anyway? N
 Naturally he has several daugh- ters, and of course each pretty, and each with Q beau except Maureen Casey worried about that until Mau- reen got a beau and of course ti is policeman but 10 and behold he is not Irish--he's Scot. q
 Incidentally that is only one bit of Casey's woe. It never rains but il pours and Casey is retired from the force right on the anniversary of his joining 1t.
 Thomas Mithcell portrays the part of Casey and 8 fine broth of an Irish man he is. Mitchell has fine cast with him including Dennis Morgan as the Scot who can talk just as loud and fast as an Irish- man; Alan Hale in a featured role; Priscilla Lane as the laughing col leen, Maureen. Incidentally at least three of the cast have delightful brogues.
 In addition the management vii present that fascinating, fictional rogue, the Lone Wolf, whose light fingered, light-hearted adventures will again thrill localities in his latest film 'The Lone Wolf Strikes Warren William portrays the inter. national scapegrace while Joan Per " is seen in the leading feminint role.

 which is less cryptic than it sounds, and more dramatic. It threatens to influence tremendously the whole campaign of this spring and summer, not in Finland alone. but on the Western Front. That joker may take the trick in the great game called Breaking the Maginot Line or the Westwall."
 That game, many have believe d, would be shadow boxing, for Franc e's and Germany's famous border for- tifications are inpregnable. So were Finland's, according to a Belgian and a British general who inspected them before recent events.
 PILLBOXES COULDN'T
 HOLD THE LINE
 Indeed, the Mannerheim zone is still two thirds unbroken, but those two- thirds are largely water-the Vuolxsi- -Taipall watercourse. Where the zone has been penetrated the main reliance was not water, but pillboxes.
 These machine gun forts, looking like half f-buried beehives, are of iron, steel and concrete, and under direct hits from shells of any but the heav- jest calibers, are supposed not to crack.
 The mystery of how, without cracking them, the Russians are cOnquering them, is solved by re-
