Welles likes long, smooth scenes
uninterrupted by the closeups and
angle shots of accepted movie tech
nique. He'll rehearse his players
and crew for hours before using a
foot of film, and a visitor gets the
idea that production is going very
slowly. Truth is it's progressing
rapidly.
Lots of things can go wrong, of
course. I watched a long series
of mishaps on the scene previous
ly described. Between each take
there'd be long wait while work.

yard outside and prepared to pour
huge bags of fresh flakes corn

Finally everything seemed to be
moving smoothly. Welles, on the
sidelines, was going through a
prayerful pantimine. The compli-
Gated scene was almost completed
and one of the actors gargled a
word in his dialog.

To charm you, dictator would need to

Political Pot SINNERS as Governor
Lays Groundwork for New legislature

SACRAMENTO. Jan. 13. eUP)-
Political activity in California pre-
ceptibly quickened today as the
Olson administration and its op-
ponents laid the groundwork for
the special session of the legisla-
ture, only two weeks away.
Most important pre- session de-
velopment was Gov. Culbert Olson's
agenda for the legislature, which
he will announce tomorrow night
The session starts Monday. Jan. %.
The session Is primarily for ap-
propriating more money for unem-
ployment relief. The governor con-
tends between $40,000,000 and $50.
900, 900 in new taxes will be required
and has prepared sizeable list of
possible revenue raising proposals
for submission.
Olson is expected TO include var
ious other subjects, including re-
organization of liquor control un-
der a commission instead of the
Board of Equalization, adyocation of
liberalized pensions for persons over
60 years of age, perhaps a revenue
bond act for the Central Valley
project, and up to a dozen minor
matters of technical and non-con-
troversial content.
A concerted effort will be made
by Olson's opponents to return re-
lief supervision to the counties, with
the state paying most of the cost.
The governor is driving toward wild
er development of his production
for-use and cooperative system for
elimination of dole payments to un-
employed.

Naval architects participated in
preparation of the plans. They
have made such complete provision

~ 1ASHINGTON, Jan. 10. (UP)-
The maritime commission is almost
ready today to ask for bids on two
passenger liners which officials said
could be converted quickly by blow
torch crews into naval airplane
carriers.
Commission officials claimed that
virtually every essential feature of
aircraft carrier design, including
tunnels on the side of the ship,
will be incorporated into construc-
ton of the liners, which will be
used in the trans-Pacific passenger
trade.
However, they said, the ships will
not be fitted with armor-plating
that protects existing aircraft car
riers. They explained that If the
ships ever are used as plane carriers
they will rely ON speed and on ac-
companying warcraft for protec-
ton.
One commission official said that
the ships would not be naval
auxiliaries, but actual men-of-War
Whereas warship is a complete
economic loss" he said, "these ships,
while operating as luxury liners
will be earning money"
The unique vessels, of $4,000 gross
tons each, will be the largest ever

Il ted States and larger than any
OF this countrys existing naval air.

How 10 Gef a Fine Hand
By BETTY CLARKE AP Feature Service Writer

Match your lipstick and your nails" is the song of the nail polish salesmen.
 But career girls and housewives go right on wearing fairly bright lipstick and fairly light nail polish.
 It's the stars of stage and screen who match bright hues of naiI polish and lipstick. Even they subdue the tones offstage once in a while
 But everyone will agree that the average woman needs a weekly manicure for the sake of hand beauty.
 Almost everyone is aware of the importance of keeping nails free of ridges, spots and brittle ness and even the doctors say nails reflect your health.
 The weekly manicure should go like this: Removal of old nail pol ish, filing, soaking nails in warm soapy water and scrubbing them with a soft brush. Then use cuti- cle remover. oil or paste and dry each finger separately before put ting on new polish. Last and very important is to massage hands with lotion or cream.
