GERMAN RED TAPE
 TIES UP $15,S0o
 FOUND BY YOUTHS

COLOGNE, Germany, Nov. 23.-- Six barefoot boys who found 39,500 marks (about $15,800) in gold are wondering what the courts next action will be in connection with the treasure.
 Wading in the Rhine River, the boys found the coins on sandbar They turned them over to the po- lice authorities who expressed be- lief that a steamer passenger, in danger of arrest for having the gold in his possession threw it overheard
 The treasure was found more than year ago. Under the law, the boys were entitled to one percent the remainder to go to the state The parents, considering this toe small percentage, instituted legal proceedings in behalf of the chil- dren.
 The courts held that the boys should have 4,50O marks and a later decision raised the ante tc l4,OOO marks. Then the Supreme Court ruled that the state should take 6,625 marks, leaving the find CTS 32,875 marks.
 But that award, even divided by six, makes half dozen con- siderable fortunes, in the eyes o1 the law. There is a statute which provides that no German under IS years shall be in possession ol a large fortune. So the authorities still are holding the money while the judges ponder this angle o1 the case.

FilmdOm
OrSOn WelleS and
Company Whip
Right Along
By HAROLD HEFEERNAN.

After 10 days shooting, Orson
Welles continues busily on "Citizen
Kane" and all the Hollywood wits
are actually dumbfounded.
Almost en- masse, they'd predicted
the Welles unit would blow up like
a typhoon struck circus-a matter
of hours after the first roll of the
camera. But now even a badly
sprained leg. which Welles suffered
in a fall downstairs on the set, has
failed to hamper activities in the
Welles unit. Until his limb recov-
cry, the cameras will shoot around
Welles, who is producer, director
and star of the piece.
Just an hour before the accident
We dropped in and witnessed one
of Orson's solo sallies. The scene
represented the old Madison Square
Garden in 1916. Behind the speak
er's platform loomed an enormous
photogra phic enlargement of Citizen
Kane, who was about to deliver a
rousing political address.
The camera had been placed on
a big crane. First it was close to
the speaker, then gradually retreated
to take in the entire platform. Rid
ing the crane with the chief camera
man was Director Welles.
Satisfied as to the mechanics of
the thing, Director Welles climbed
down, donned a collar - which he
always sheds between scenes-and
very shortly became Actor Welles.
In a pleasant voice, he called to the
company: "All right now, every
body: we'll shoot it this time" 1t
didn't take Orson. a smart boy, long
to pick up those Hollywood express
sions.
Players hastened to their places
and Welles, mounting the platform,
glanced over the script to refresh
his memory. He's an easy study,
by the way. and in pinch can
memorize half a dozen pages of
lines while storing away a hearty
luncheon.
1T is no secret that I entered
upon this campaign with no thought
I could be elected Governor of
this State" Welles declaimed as
the camera started rolling He had

Virginian's Trick
Really Happened,
Roadside Says
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

The Roadside Theater people,
slaves to historical accuracy when
ever possible, want you to know that
the comedy baby-mixing scene in
Act 1 of The Virginian" is not
just product of Author Owen
WiSter's imagination. Mrs. James
B. Wells, grandmother of Lansing
Hall. who plays the feminine lead
in the play Git starts its tWo-Week
run tonight, has let them know it
really happened.
In the play the Virginian finds all
the community babies in one bed
room, decides the only way they
can be told apart is by their cloth
ing, so switches their garb to prove
his point. Mrs. Wells says the late
Mr.. Wells knew a DR.. Mitchell who
perpetrated the same plot once to
prove the same point, out West
in the early sos. 1t wasn't so
funny in real life; it was two weeks
before the ranchers reshuffled the
tots properly.

Pass liberaIized
Remarriage Canon
House Of Deputies
Expected to Reject
Revised Law
By the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY. Oct. 18.-The
House OF Bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal Church passed a liberal
tzed remarriage canon along to the
House of Deputies today with the
suggestion. TRY this and see ii
It will give the church a more real
istic approach to the question"
The suggestion came specifically
from Bishop Cameron J. Davis OF
Buffalo, N. Y. as the bishops ap-
proved a revision under which re-
married persons could receive the
church's blessing a year after their
second wedding.
The measure still forbids Epis-
copsl ministers to marry divorced
persons, thus requiring that such
marriages be performed by civil
authorities or clerics of another
faith.
Rejection Seen.
Several clergymen and laymen
In the House of Deputies freely
predicted that their body would re-
ject the revised law. leaving in
force the church's stringent cancn
recognizing remarriage only of the
innocent party to a divorce for
adultery.

bishops. 69-26, would recognize as
grounds, for annulment or divorce;

not approved it unanimously.
