FEATURED AT THE ROYAL

able romance of powerful impact.

Living in a world where there is no
law, these two recognize love as the
only law they know, defying every
force that tries to keep them apart.

'MY LITTLE CHICKADEE"
OFFERED AT CAROLINA
W. c. Fields is a great lover!

W. c. Fields is a great lover!
it's true. And you have Mae Vests
word for it.
OF course, Fields probably might
not offer any serious competition to
such screen lovers as Clark Gable
or Doug Fairbanks, Jr., but, accord.
ing to Miss West, he has a definite
romantic streak in him.
This was discovered by Mae when
she and Fields were teamed for my
Little Chickadee," which comes to
the Carolina theatre today.
When Fields heard that Mae re.
garded him as quite romantic, he
exclaimed: cts preposterous! Me
a romantic? Hand me down that
breakaway chair and that prop bot.
tle-that's my racket"
"Now wait a minute, Bill" Mae
said. Men are my racket and I
should know them. In fact, I do
know most of them. And I know
that you have a charm for the girls
in your Of humor, your gallan-
try and your mannerisms, which /
will go so far as to call cute. You
can be romantic and believably SO
and you're going to be in this pic
ture."
And so, believe it or not, W. C.
Fields goes romantic in my Little
Chickadee." He has one important
romantic scene with Miss West and
several others of a minor nature.

In the latter vote, the South leaned
heavily on the side of the increased

TRADE PROGRAM
GROUP PROPOSED
Special Committee Represent
ing Congress And Pub
lie Is Suggested

WASHINGTON, April T. up -
A group of house republicans ad
vanced today a proposal to create a
special committee representing both
congress and the public to formu'
late a new American foreign trade
program.
Representative Treadway of Mas
sachusetts, ranking republican mem
Der of the ways and means com
mittee, the house unit in which orlgl'
mates tax and tariff legislation, an
nounced the proposal in a state
ment and said it was backed by all
republican members of the commit
tee. He added that a resolution for
creation of the committee would be
introduced tomorrow.
The special 15-man committee,
Treadway said, would be instructed
to report to congress not later than
January Is, 1941, recommendations
for "a permanent tariff and foreign
trade program along specified ines"
to be administered by an lndepend'
ent agency Gin compliance with
clearly-defined instructions from
the congress-"
"It is our thought" he explained,
"that such an agency should take
over the tariff and foreign trade
functions now exercised by the tariff
commission and the state depart
ment and become the administra-
tive agent of the congress in carry
ing out the joint resolutions de-
clared purpose of promoting the
greatest possible trade with foreign
nations while at the same time pro-
tecting domestic producers from I'M
fair foreign competition in the home
market"
The house republican proposal
would go somewhat farther in its
detectives than one offered recently
by Senator Vandenberg R-Mich).
Vandenberg proposed abolition OF
the tariff commission and the setting
up of a new six-man agency EN-.
powered to coordinate the foreign
commercial and financial activities
of government agencies.
The 15-man study committee
would be constituted as follows:
Five senators appointed by the
vice president.
Five representatives designated
by the speaker of the house.
Five persons appointed by the
President, subject to confirmation
by the senate, none of whom holds
any office in the government of the
United States or is engaged in the
activities of any political party"
At least one would represent agri.
culture, n labor, one industry and
one the consumers.

On Ferry Plans
exposed

Action on a proposed five-year
contract for ferry service to Fox
island was delayed Tuesday by
county commissioner until June 5
at request of J. w. McCune. traffic
manager for Tacoma Chamber Of
Commerce.
McCune, In asking the delay,
explained the chamber desired to
study further the matter with pos
sibility existing that others may
offer services at a saving to the
county. In event no other offers
are forthcoming, McCune said, 1t
was possible the chamber might
work out a plan for free ferry serv-
ice from Fox island to Wollochet,
with motorists then using the Ia
coma Narrows bridge to continue
to Tacoma and foot passengers
being served by bus.
The previous proposal was sub
mitted by Capt. F. NJ. Hunt Of
Gig Harbor, now master of the
ferry Skansonia, who offered TO
purchase the 20-car ferry City Of
Steilacoom from the county and
provide service between Fox island
and 9Th ave.
Under terms of a proposed con-
tract. the county would take all
revenues Of the ferry route and
pay Capt. Hunt a flat SLAB per
month for his services.
