GLAMOROUS STAR MAXINE ELLIOTT DIES

CANNES, France, Mar. (P) - Maxine Elliott, 67, actress, died at her villa "cote d'azure" here.
 Of all the glamarous stars of the stage Maxine Elliott was one of the few who could say that she had the perfect career.
 She was starred in many trium- phant roles, ranging from Shakes peare to the modern drama. She was acclaimed by critics for her beauty, charm and talent. A Broadway theatre was named for her. She was the toast of Euro pean royalty. And she quit the stage while she was at the height of her career, to become one of the outstanding international host esses of the European gold coast" on the French Riviera.
 Miss Elliott was born in Rock land, Me, on Feb. 5, 1873, the daughter of Thomas and Ade- laide Dermott. Her father was a salty New England sea captain and as a girl she went with him on several sailing voyages to South America and Spain.
 She attended Notre Dame Aca- demy at Roxbury, Mass, and it was there that she started study ing to become an actress, chang ing her name to Maxine Elliott at the suggestion of her dramat- ic teacher. Her younger sister followed this example and be- came successful actress as Ger trude Elliott.
 Her travels carried her to San Francisco in 1898 and there she met and married Nat Goodwin, actor. They were divorced in 19- O8. She never married again.

DIES PUTS FORGERY UP TO PROSECCTOR

WASHINGTON March Is, (P) Representative Dies, chairman of the committee Investigating un-American activities, stated to- day that he had transmitted to David A. Pine, Federal District Attorney here, all the testimony facts and exhibits relating to the alleged forging of letters pur- porting to show that he, MT. Dies, entered into an arrange ment with William Dudley Pell- ey, head of the Silver Shirts. MT. Dies said the entire committee approved the move.
 The District Attorney has been asked to consult the Federal grand jury so that appropriate action may be taken, MT. Dies said. The chairman asked MT. Pine to determine also whether the asserted forgery and subse- quent use of the letters in ques- tlon constituted violation of the criminal statute forbidding intim- idation of a Congressional com mittee.
 At the same time, Robert H. Jackson, Attorney General, made public a letter to Representative Starnes of Alabama, vice-chair- man of the committee, in which he agreed to turn over to the committee, for it's confidential use, the record of the investiga- tion of MT. Policy by the Feder- al Bureau of Investigation. MT. Starnes had requested this during the period when MT. Dies was absent from Washington because of illness.
 The letters to which MT. Dies referred were inserted in the Congressional Record on Jan. p by Representative Hook of Mich igan. Their publication aroused stormy controversy which lasted until Feb. 6 when MT. Hook ap- ologized to the House for putt ing them into the Record and said he was convinced that they were forgeries.
 They purported to represent correspondence between MT. Pel- ley and David D. Mayne his Washington representative, in which it was set forth that an arrangement had been reached with MT. Dies whereby the Sill yer Shirts leader, whom the com mittee had been hunting for some time, would not be put on the witness stand.

U. s. MORAL EMARGO IS NOT ENDED

WASHINGTON, March Is - State Secretary Cordell Hull said the governments policy of nor al embargo against Russia im- posed by President Roosevelt and the State department after the Soviet invasion of Finland is not ended with the end of the Russo Finnish war.
 Even before his press confer ence it was apparent the United States would continue to regard Russia Warily and that no move would be made to lift the embar- go because officials are not sure Russia will not move again ag- ainst Finland or that Russia might not move against other na tions in the Balkans or in the near east or that some materials might get through to Germany.
 Roosevelt laid down an embar- go on shipment of airplanes and parts to Russia early in Decem- Der. Later the State department announced the embargo would in clude materials going into their manufacture such as molybden- um and aluminium and plans for the manufactre of aviation gaso- line.

Wife Recalls Racing Days Of Fred Aver

With the Fairbanks Dogs Der by and the Nome Cheechacco race just run Fred Aver is Fit To Be Tied" with waves of Fleet foot canine nostalgia of former days when he ran with Leonhard Seppala, "Scotty" Allen and oth- CTS, guiding his four-footed Fly erS' over the silver trails in the All Alaska Sweepstakes, from Nome to Candle (408) miles, John Borden Marathon to Cape Nome and return, (26 miles-385 yds.) and the Solomon Derby to Solomon and return (66 miles).
 Fred ran twice in the All Al aSka Sweepstakes and came in third. He was more fortunate however in the other races. He ran in the Solomon Derby in 1913 with ' dogs beating John John son (18 dogs) by two minutes. Fred Aver won every race in this Derby for a number of years thereafter. The top prize for this Derby was $500. Fred also won the record race in this derby (time: 5 hrs. .-33 min.-33 sec which has never been broken. Leonhard Seppala and "Scotty" Allen entered and ran against Fred in both the Solomon Derby and the Borden Marathon Race; Fred beating them both in each race. The last Solomon Derby Fred participated in, the other drivers argued it was useless to run against Seppala and Aver, as they had cinch.
 Someone suggested the others pick dogs from three racing teams combine them in one team and run against them. This they did. Selecting the best from liar ry Riley, Percy Blatchford and Russ Downing's teams. Percy Blatchford entered the picked" team and ran against Fred and again Fred Aver won. Then in the Borden Marathon Race a few years later, Fred won three times, winning a small sil- yer cup each time and receiving for the final grand trophy, huge silver cup standing 26 inches high. Leonhard Seppala compet- ed in the Borden race of another year and won the coveted cup, also.
 Fred Ayers dogs were cross between thoroughbred Beagle and Alaska dog; Beagle for speed and the Alaska dog for fur. These dogs were born racing dogs. Fred said it took six men to hold them before the race started. Once in a Solomon Derby, "Scotty" Allen remarked after reaching Nome, 1 that Fired Ayers Flyers" passed me like I was standing still" No doubt Seppala and Allen still re- the thrills experienced in those days of yesteryear.

BENNY THE BUM AIDED PHIL ADELPHIA GETTING G. o. P. CONVENTION
By Preston Grover

WASHINGTON-Please excuse if we point out that in bidding for the Republican national con Vention, Philadelphia offered not only $150,000 and the Liberty Bell, but also Benny the Bum.
 Benny the Bum is a versatile man who once fought valiantly but not too well in the prize ring. Now he runs Philadelphias prin- cipal night club. Democrats from the not-too-straight-laced parts of the country assembled nightly and convivially at Benny the Bum's during the 1886 conven- ton.
 Benny's food and entertain ment relieved the tension. AS anyone will remember, there were whole days of extreme ten sion at Philadelphia when dele gates stood irresolutely about wondering whether President F. D. Roosevelt ever would get the nomination. Benny profited hand ,Somely while the Democrats made up their minds about nominating the President and he is an admir- able spot to profit once again if the Republicans should be in doubt as to whom to name in l940.
 An Institution
 Benny has long been an institu tion in Philadelphia. The stories about him would fill a book. It is related that one time former Governor Earle of Pennsylvania was chatting with Benny the Bum when up came the subject of motion pictures. Benny com plained of fraud.
 You cant never tell what these pictures is going to be ab- out any more", complained Ben ny to the Governor Just the other night here 1 was going to a picture show and it was sup posed to be about sheep up on the Canadian Boundary. But in side do get show about sheep? Nav. It's about fightin' on ships down in them South Sea islands. But how was l going to tell that when outside everything says it is Mutton on the Boundary.
 Of course Benny does not sign his name Benny the Bum. He us- ed to get mighty wrought up when people called him that. That was before somebody persuaded him that Benny the Bum was a better name for night club own- CT than Benny Fogelman. Now he has a big sign in front of his place on 18th street explaining to folks that this is the famous spot belonging to Benny the Bum.
 If you doubt that Benny means to keep the place respectable you only have to remember that Benny personally threw out spot of company he thought was too noisy. And when some of their friends in the orchestra protested he threw them out, too. Naturally it brought Benny up before the police to explain and he did.
 Judge" says Benny, they was lousin' up me place"
 Asked To Kick In
 Benny has a son in Princeton, for which the choice of school he credits Senator Guffey.
 That's where Joe Guffey went and the best is none too good for my boy
 The late Haywood Broun once wrote a piece about Benny the Bum and Benny was so pleased he enlarged it to wall-panel size and hung it up.
 Because Benny is likely to make some money out of any conven- tion that happens to drop in on Philadelphia he doubtless was asked to kick literally into the kitty that was offered to the Re publicans.

West had a heart trick it might be
