You walk into Joan's dressing
room, or Dick's-for they'll both be
in the same room-and the two of
them are so close together that you
get all mixed up and say, Miss
Powell-er, I mean, Mr.. Blondell.'
But they both laugh and you can
cover up your confusion instantly
and with good grace.
Then, before you know what's
happening, they go into their
routine, without realizing what
they're doing, and you are amazed
It goes like this:
Dick may be combing his hair be-
fore the mirror and Joan may be
doing something else. with her back
to him. Suddenly Dick will whip
out pack of cigarettes and hold
them over his shoulder and Joan
quite unconsciousiy will reach over
her shoulder and take a cigarette
out of the package. No word has
been spoken by either one, but Dick
knows Joan wants smoke.
The thing is not pat. They've
never rehearsed it. 1t just happens

"Do WI, boyo for,,,,I, , cot of
rules or something? You know, that

That is what they were asked.
Dick and Joan looked puzzled.
Joan got an answer ready first.
Their Battle Is in a Film.
RULES? Formula?" she repeated,
"Is there formula?" Then she
laughed. "Why they've written one
OF our battles into the script of I

This is the picture Joan and Dick
are co-starred in at Paramount cur

they contributed the fight scene, re-
placing the one originally written
because their own scene was so real.
Just before Dick left Hollywood on

Joan was helping him to pack and
she ran across package of his love

you've changed. Why don't you say
things like that now? Why don't
you write poems and things like this

From this Joan went on to point
out to Dick that for long time
she had known he had fibbed one
evening when he said he was going
to Palm Springs. A letter reminded
her of the Palm Springs episode.
Dick tried to laugh off the incident,

 LAY DOWN
Unconditional Surrender Is ! Reported Having { Taken Place

PARIS, May 28.-The French War Ministry spokesman said tonight that the Belgian Army almost in its entirety" has given itself up. as prisoners and the situation, as the result Ifs very difficult" for the Allies.
 The French spokesman places the number of Belgian soldiers surren- dering at 100000.
 The official communique tonight says the German divisions are pushing hard in the east and west directions on the northern front above the Lys River in the direc- tion of the channel ports of Os- tend and zeebrugge.
 The unconditional surrender of the Belgians broke the back of the Allied armies in the north an d brought the battle of Flanders to the eliminating point.
 British and French air forces are tonight participating in "tre- mendous operations" in bombing German air fields and communi- cations.

(BY ASSOCIATED PREss)

Belgium's King Leopold's order that the Belgian army of approxi mately 100000 surrender today is promptly" disowned by his own refugee Government in Paris.
 British Prime Minister Winston Churchill told the House of Com mons that the Allied Generals have been ordered to continue their campaigns against the Germans.
 The action of the refugee Bel gian Government officials in Paris means, in effect, that the King has been deposed from his throne as he has no right to surrender his nation to the enemy.
 Frenchmen in the streets of Paris cried treason" when informed that Belgium had surrendered.
 Allies to Carry on
 Prime Minister Churchill said the Allies will carry on with all yigor and he was wildly cheered today in the House of Commons when he said: Nothing which may happen to us in this battle can in any way relieve us of our duty to de- fend the world cause to which we have bound ourselves"
 The German High Command de- clares the Allied armies are pock- eted in Flanders and doomed.
 Plan New Coup
 The British Naval spokesman hinted the British Expeditionary force is preparing to withdraw from the battle in Belgium but it is not immediately indicated whether the withdrawal will be nom the continent or merely shifting of forces south to aid France.
 The naval spokesman said the Expeditionary force would face terrific obstacles in attempting to cross the English Channel as the Royal Air Force and fleet would have to hold off the Nazi air force.
 German Claims
 The Germans said a new series of smashing successes have been made as the mechsnized columns broke through strong border for tifications on broad front and captured numerous towns and vil- lages in a giant squeeze movement i'll Flanders.
 It is estimated that 100000 AL lied soldiers are trapped in an area scarcely larger than a good sized western cattle ranch and into this crowded section waves of dive bombers are unloading lethal gas, cargoes of bombs and machine gun bullets.

New Taxes
 By Congress
 Are Looming
Money Must Be Raised as Partial Payment for
 Defense Program

WASHINGTON, May s28.-Indi- cations multiplied that Congress will seek to up taxes before ad- journment in an attempt to plan partial payment for extra defenses.
 The leaders of both parties in the House are reported polling their members on the question and the Treasury Department is eliev e d nearly ready to propose tax plan.
 Late today it was announced that Congressional leaders have agreed to raise three billion dollars in new taxes during the next five years to pay the cost of National defense.
 The plan as ratified by Presi- dent Roosevelt, was drafted at a three-mour conference with Secre- tary of Treasury Morgenthau, Chairman Doughton of the House Ways and Means Committee and Chairman Harrison of the Senate Finance Committee.
 The plan calls for immediate fi- nancjng of defense costs by the sale Of three billion dollars worth of special national defense obliga- tions" and also calls for the levy ing of additional taxes, the nature of which has not ben determined yet but amounting to between $600,- 100000 and $70O,000,0O0 annually during the next five years.

HOOVER FAV0R5 ADMINISTRATOR
 FOR ARMAMENT
Denies National Defenses Neglected During
 His Term

NEW YORK, May 28. - Former President Herbert Hoover in radio speech last night advocated sin gle headed Administrator" to direct the United States armament pro- gram and warned aganst giving au- thority to more boards and bu reaus.
 Hoover suggested that the Admin istrator be an industrialisU and not a politician and he also suggested a single purchasing department for the Army and Navy.
 Hoover disputed President Roos- evelt's fireside chat claims that de- fense was neglected prior to the present Administration Hoover said the menace of Hitlerism was still unborn in 1882 and the war fever did not rise until two or three years later.
 No Immediate Danger
 Hoover declared that only through the appointment of National ad ministrator could the difficult job of rearming America be carried out with efficiency and economy He said that America was in no immediate danger of attack but ad- mitted the perils of any forign in- vasiOn of the Western hemisphere
 Said Hoover. Now is the time to keep cool. Before operating from any air base in the western hemis- phere, an enemy must first capture that territory He must get past the American fleet which is twice as strong as the combined fleets of Europe, emitting the British. This is job which would take time even if it were possible. There is no occasion for panic, but there is need for speed"
 Plane Facilities
 Hoover said that the Unite d States did not need 50000 airplanes during peace time. He said that the country needed the machinery with which to turn out 4,000 planes month and the personnel to fly them
 Said Hoover: s"If we could dem- onstrate that we could supply the Army and the Navy with 4,000 planes a month, that would be am- pie notice to the world to keep off our grass"

 The villains of the piece are
 Hitler, Won RibbentrOp a nd
 Himmler. At one point, the
 British Ambassador says:
 "If were entitled to appor-
 ton the blame for the tragic
 and ghastly war which we have
 now entered, should do so as
 follows: firstly, the overween-
 ing ambition and the ever
 growing mcgalomania of Hitler;
 secondly, the self interested ad-
 vice of Herr vOn RibbentrOp
 and of the small clique of Nazi
 veterans and gangsters. to
 whom, for their services in the
 struggle for power, were given
 many of the pIums of victory.
 -. and thirdly, Himmler and
 his blackshirted S.S. and secret
 police"
 To me, the most amazing revela- tion in the book is the record that the German Army General Staff had every one of it's blitzkrieg. worked out to the most minute de. tail even before the move agalnst Austria.
 Tying in with this are report, in Washington that German Arm, plans for every contingency, in. cluding Switzerland and the Bal. kans, are on file. These plans, il IS said, number 12, and the twelfth IS a gigantic maneuver for the in vasion of England-a scheme fo, cutting Great Britain in half ano waging a war to the death.
 This could be nothing more than one of those Old Wives tales that circulate about the nations capital one the slightest pretext But it could also be one of those facts that drift up from the depths of international espionage.
 More than month ago military folk were whispering that May 10 was the date for the Nazi crash into the Netherlands. Even when the Norwe gian campaign was opened, army and navy insiders winked and said: Wait until May 10."
 Not all the rumors that float about Washington are hooey- most, perhaps-but not all. You'll have to choose for yourself.

WASHINGTON, May 28. You would think that a park service guide, who had visit from Presi- dent Roosevelt, would have happy tale to tell his grandchildren. But not the guide who tends the Ship Museum in Yorktown.
 In a tight little one-door build ing that looks more like white barn than museum, the York town repository has three British cannon dredged out of the York River. They are relics of the great battle of 173l. The park service had recreated in the museum the gun deck of British frigate and mounted the cannon. They had sent to London for dope on hand ling such cannon. Guides drilled for weeks, in the motions of load ing, cleaning, aiming and firing.
 Then, one day word spread about that the President was com ing down. The President has a definite yen for naval history. He's an expert. He has called some of the Navys best on moot questions and navigation records often have proved him right. The museum was in a dither. Its crack guide was selected to put the guns through their paces.
 The presidential party arrived
 --aDd the United States secret
 service wouldn't let the Presi-
 dent go inside. There's rule,
 it seems, that no President of
 the LISA. can enter any build-
 ing with only one exit.
