 Copenhagen, Feb. 21-(UP)-The Scandinavian nations. surrounded by wars which have crippled their exc ports, raised living costs, and re- duced their merchant fleets, today are following divergent policies aimed at one end-neutrality and integrity.
 Thus while there is no common line of action, the war has fused Norway, Sweden and Denmark into a Scandinavian bloc which extends moral and voluntary aid to Finland, but refuses direct military help.
 With more than five months of the western Europe war completed, the Scandinavians have learned to expect none of the profits they re- ceived from the last war, and more than the losses of l914-1918.

"Two's company and threes a crowd - except at the Capitol Theatre where Columbia's Too Many Husbands" is medically, hil- ariously proving that "two's com pany and threes a comedy! Jean Arthur, Fred MacMurray and Mel Vlyn Douglas are starred in the film, one of the merriest maddest marital mix-ups ever brought to the screen!
 Based upon w. Somerset Maug- hams sensational stage success, brought to the screen by Wesley Ruggles from Claude Binyon' s adaptation, with a supporting cast which includes Harry Davenport, Melville Cooper, Dorothy Peterson, Mary Treen and Tom Dugan, Too Many Husbands" would inevitably belong among the seasons more memorable films but the excellent artistry of it's cast, the swift sure tempo of it's direction and the sly, sparkling character of its writing makes the new film an important contender for top ten honors.
 Miss Arthur, in brilliant con- trast to the dramatic finesse she dispayed in MT. Smith Goes to Washington" and Only Angels Have Wings employs to the full her triumphant gift for light comedy As the lonely wife sud- denly blessed" with two devoted husbands, Miss Arthur delightedly expresses her appreciation of the flattering circumstance. as well as her perpleXed and fearful recogni- tion that it's outcome might well mean a prison sentence for her.

cate the stunt at Maynard Daniels
expense. They meet in the eight
round feature Of the first profess

scheduled at $3.50.
Daniels will have the 5th Reserve
Marine Battalion behind him when
he steps into the ring and is con-
fident the final bell will see his hand
lifted in token of triumph, but the
odds are against him. Brescia is
no Joe Louis or Gene Tunney, but
does seem to have too many guns
and>too much polish for the District
youngster.
A free-swinger, Daniels is not going
out with the intention Of knocking
the Argentine dead with his first
punch, but rather will bide his time
and try for q clean shot. If Maynard
does land with a right likely It'll be
curtains for Jorge. g.
Daniels was defeated by Pat
Comiskey in his last bout, losing by
q technical knockout In the eighth
round after fighting on pure courage
and instinct from the second, when
the Irishman closed his eye with .
murderous right.

Man OF The Decade

Tommy Hitchcock held on to
dominate his game during the
thirties.
The hard, lean Long Islander Is
the man of the decade in polo-this
decade, last decade or any other
decade. He is the greatest polo
player of all time.
Hitchcock, he of the iron forearms
and wrists OF steel, was the worlds
best in the early 20s and as the 40s
march in he still is No. /.
This smart and daring poloist was
an established figure as far back as
1914 before the headlines had taken
Dempsey, Tilden or Ruth into their
black type. Those aces burst across
the sports horizon with amazing
feats and since have sailed into the
past-Hitchcock at 40 still Is going
strong.
Polo isn't a game that the masses
cuddle to. So perhaps you don't
realize just what l0-goal rating
means. Well. its baseball equiva-
lent is a 400 hitter or a pitcher who
is a 40-game winner. In golf fel-

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8.-Clayton
Heafner and the rain god hold the
key to the championship Of the 18th
annual Los Angeles Open Golf
Tournament.
The Lineville, N. c., pro stood at
the top Of brilliant array OF
golfers today going into the final
round of the meet, with a 54-hole
score Of 212, two strokes in front OF
his nearest foe. But more i'm
portant to the golfing clan was the
weather.
Rain by the bucketful soaked the
Los Angeles Country Club late yes
terday. It continued to fall this
morning. Tournament sponsors
hoped, however, to wind up play to-
day, regardless of waterlogged fair
ways and green's.
Nine years ago, Denny Shute won
the tournament title after playing
the entire u holes in rain. He was
the only contestant to break 300. It
was the worst year for weather In
the meets history. Yesterdays
downpours, however, threatened for
q time to eual that occasion. Heaf-
ner took 73, three over par, finishing
before the worst part Of the storm
set in, and was glad to get it. With
his previous rounds Of 71-6S, his
achievement was good enough to
hold the leadership.
Two strokes back was Johnny
Dawson Of Hollywood. low amateur
in 1899 and 1888. Three very po-
tent contenders-Mark Fry of Oak
land, Calf; Ben Hogan Of White
Plains, N. Y, and AL Kreuger Of Be-
lott, Wis.-were only three shots
behind the flying Heafner.
Far back was Wilford Wehrle, the
young Chicago amateur who cap
tured the gallery fancy and led the
field on the first day with a 81.
Wehrle took an 50 yesterday for
224.
Out Of the running entirely was
Marvin (BuG Ward of Spokane,
national amateur champion. He
missed qualifying for the final
round by one stroke. He took Is
to total $50, and the limit was 229.

Let's push the curtain Of time back

and then compare him with those
heroes Of the golden age.
