TUNEFUL COLISEUM
 ATTRACTION E ON
 FOR LAST SHOWING

Going Places" Warner Bros. newest comedy with music, starring Dick Powell, will be the Coliseum Theaters feature presentation, end- ing tonight. Powell, who has proven himself a top-notch comedian in his recent pictures Cowboy From Brooklyn" and Hard to Get, rises to new heights of hilarity in Going Places.
 Playing opposite Dick in this ex- travaganza of the Steeplechase is the beauteous Anita Louise. The rest of the cast. is made up, pri- marily of comedians including such experts in that line as Allen Jen- kins, Walter Catlett, Harold Hu- Der, Thurston Hall and Minna Gombell. The one serious charac- ter in the story of any importance is played by the charming Ronald Reagan. And most of the musical entertainment burden is shared with Powell by those two great colored swingsters, Louis Armstrong who has no peer as hot trumpet player and Maxine Sullivan. the velvety-voiced songstress who spec ializes in swinging" folk songs. Going Places" incidentally, is the first motion picture in which she has ever appeared.

Bible Class "Dafes" Are Reported as Most

DALLAS, Tex, Feb 27.-People with lonely hearts are Hooking to Pop Galloway's Bible class.
 The class had only thirteen mem bers. Then it opened date" bu- eau. In one month the member ship jumped to 265.
 At class entertainments some times more than half the couples have made dates through the bu- reau. And there are no wall flow CTS hanging around, either.
 Members with lonely hearts file their pictures, age, height, weight and telephone number with the bu- reau and await developments.
 Other people with lonely hearts look at the pictures, choose con- panion and notify George Ed Thom- as, former class president
 The chosen one is notified and given the telephone number of the other person. From then on it's up to the lonely hearts
 Thomas started the date bureau a month ago.
 A newspaper published a story about the opening. Since then Thomas has been besieged by pros- pective members.

during the last two years, many
patients are going to hospitals for
illnesses which previously had been
treated at home.
Ice and snow conditions were i'm
proving on the highways of adjoin-
ing States today following slight
thaws, generally higher tempera-
lures and the continued work of
snow plows and pick-and-shovel
crews.
Water Traffic Hampered.
On. the Potomac and Chesapeake
Bay water traffic still was badly
crippled or halted outright by foe
jams and areas of thick ice which
continued to spread. Norfolk and
Washington passenger boats are
laid up, and vessels using the port
of Baltimore were to be conveyed

breakers today.
Damage threatened many ice
locked bridges in the river and bay
areas. Authorities said a sudden
thaw or heavy rain might greatly
increase the damage. There was
little prospect of general thaw
any time soon on the snow-blanketed
watershed of the Potomac.

Temporary Letup
In Intense Cold
Is Forecast
Warmer Weather Due
Tomorrow; Two Hurt
In Falls on Streets

At least a temporary letup in the
long spell of intense cold was In
sight today as the coolest January
since the winter of 1918 drew to q
close.
The forecast is for fair and con-
tinued cold tonight, with a low OF
about Is degrees; tomorrow increas-
ing cloudiness and somewhat warmer
weather." The minimum this morn
ing was slightly under Is degrees,
and the high yesterday afternoon
was point above freezing.
Temperatures this month were at
least degrees below normal, and
were equaled only twice previously
since the Weather Bureau began its
records in 1871-one in 1893 and
again in 1918.
Two persons received hospital
treatment for injuries suffered In
falls on the slippery streets. They
were Mrs. Myrtice Adams, AZ, Of
414 Second street NV, taken to
Sibley Hospital and Sam Nakos,
AZ, of 1928 K street NV, treated at
Providence Hospital. Neither was
hurt seriously.
Cases Surprisingly Low.
While Washington's hospitals
were crowded, Health Department
officials said the number of cases
of influenza and pneumonia was
about normal for this time of year
and surprisingly low in view of the
continued cold.
Only nine cases of influenza were
reported to the Health Department
last week, and there were 26 cases
of pneumonia. Respiratory ailments
account for most of the added load
on hospitals, it was said.
District officials added that since

from announcement of the Amer
lean Liberty League, an organiza-
ton opposed to the New Deal:
so far as legal effect is concerned,
the statute binds only the employer.
It is a practical restraint upon his
freedom of contract. Because he is
deprived Of bargaining equality
he may be required to bargain with
a particular group or enjoined from
negotiating with another group.
There are other arbitrary inter-
ferences with the normal freedom
of an employer. 80 The employer is
not permitted to render financial
or other support to an organization
Of his employees, even though his
employees may have requested or de-
manded that he extend such as
sistance to them.
1T is our belief that, in these
respects, the statute unnecessarily
and arbitrarily infringes upon the
individual liberties of the employer
and the employees, and is therefore
invalid"
