Those noble souls whose names

Those noble souls whose names
are really Fox, Fish, Trout, Lyon,
Baer, Crow, Wolf, ETC., just had
to cancel a day out of their lives.
They weren't averaging better
than out of 10 callbacks on their
phone messages today.
The undertakers, house-wreck-
ing companies, caterers-for- large
parties, coal dealers, employment
agencies, exterminators and
homicide squad detectives were
verifying all calls before going
into action. They've learned by
now. ..-..
The Patent Office came up
with the only note of cheer. 1t
announced the granting of rights
on a series of inventions, cover
ing loaded cigars which explode
upon purchase, telephones with a
false-teeth appliance that clamps
down on any one giving fake
numbers, calendars which skip
from, March 81 to April 2. etc
Sure, they did. If you don't be-
lieve 1t, call District 2200 for Pat
Aplidefor. 4

A city prepared for the worst

A city prepared for the worst
got it today.
The inmates were reported
bearing up well under a blitz-
kreig of sugar daddy money, pep
per chewing gum, exploding
matches, collapsible forks, leak
ing glasses and rubber hot dogs.
The telephone company had
full army division Of special
operators on duty intercepting
those calls to the Messrs. Bird,
Lion, Bear, Fish, ct al.
There was some peace in Lon
don, perhaps, where the only dis
traction was falling bombs; or
in Belgrade, where the calm was
ruffed only by revolutionists-at-
work; or in the isles of the South
Pacific, where the only small
worry a man had was soothing
some of the neighboring head
hunters.
But in Washington, where at
least one-half of the population
had at least one-haf of its time
to concentrate on the thought
that this was April Fools Day,
life was considerably on the
frantic side. y

Approval Sends Bill
With Office BUILDING
Item 10 Conference
Erection in District
Is Urged by Reynolds
As Senate Acts

The $4.10O,000 item approved by
the Senate yesterday in the fifth
supplemental defense bill to build
temporary ONCE buildings for the
growing army of Federal workers
in Washington, awaits final deci-
sion in conference with the House.
AS the Senate was acting, Chair
man Reynolds of the District Com
mittee urged that the structures be
erected within the District, but did
not try to change the language Of
the bill, which vests discretion in the
Public Buildings Administration to
place them 'in or near the District
of Columbia"
The bill stipulates that land al
ready owned by the Government
must be used, and indications are
that Public Buildings officials plan
to place this group of six two-story
frame structures in nearby Arlington
County, Va.
Points to Available Sites.
There are many available sites in
Washington, Senator Reynolds said,
to take care Of new public building
needs 'for the next quarter of a
century" He mentioned the Sol
diers' Home grounds as one possibil-
ity for these temporary offices.
Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana, in charge of District ap-
propriations in the Senate, said it
should be borne in mind also that
when the District of Columbia was
created Congress was given eXclu-
sive legislative control over the seat
of Government, and the placing of
Government structures outside the
limits of the District defeats the
purpose Of that provision OF the
Constitution.
Senator Adams. Democrat, of Colo
RADIO. handling the defense appro-
priation bill, inquired whether, If
new public buildings are erected in
the District, the Federal Govern
ment. under the proposed Overton
formula, would, in effect, pay an
additional tax, whereas outside the
District it would not.
Acreage Only Figured.
Senator Overton, author of the
pending formula for settlement of
the fiscal relations problem, inter-
rupted to explain that public build
ings do not figure in any way in his
formula. 1t is based, he said, only
on the acreage of land required
for national purposes, thereby avoid
ing the controversial question of
valuation, either on land or build
ings.
In the case of these temporary
Government structures they would
not affect or change the Federal
payment under the Overton formula,
even If erected in the District,
because the bill requires use of
land already owned by the Govern
ment-
Senator Overton agreed with
Senator Adams that, in any case
where additional land was to be
acquired. it would have an affect
on the Overton formula.
During the discussion Senator
Reynolds expressed the hope that
the State of Virginia would consent
to legislation to include within the
District of Columbia the area COW
cred by the new national airport
at Gravelly Point in order to sim
plify jurisdictional control. That
question was not before the Senate,
however.

ALICE FAYE Al
 CAPITOL; FILM
 ON DOUBLE BILL
Dr. Christian Picture Also Featured on Program
 Tonight, Saturday

The Capitol Theatre is tonight featuring a double bill, Alice Faye in You're a Sweetheart" and a new Dr. Christian picture. The Alice Faye film is a revival and will be shown twice, while the Dr. Christian story will be shown only once, at 3:45 o'clock.
 Once more the small town medi- cal doctor comes into his own, this time as defiant enemy of quick reducing schemes which damage the health of many an American woman.
 This dramatic assignment goes to Jean Hersholt in his third stel- lar characterization of the kindly physician in "Dr Christian Meets the Women"
 Kitty Browning, the village gro- cers daughter, adopts the fad to aid her boy friend, who is press agent for the quack physical cul- turist, and almost every woman in town invests her health and money in the reducing scheme. But, soon, their health is so im- paired that dozens of ladies be- siege Dr. Christians office. T e physician is so overworked that his nurse, Judy Price, puts him to bed. At this time, Kitty herself, who never required the treatments, falls seriously i'll, and the doctor leaves his sick bed to tend her in the final dramatic climax.
 Feminine charm in Dr. Chris tian Meets the Women is two-fold. Nurse Judy Price is depicted by Dorothy Lovett, who has had the role in previous releases in the series; and Marilyn Merrick, a gor- geous newcomer, appears roman tically as Kitty Browning opposite Frank Albertson. The physical cui- turist is portrayed by Rod La Rocque, and Edgar Kennedy as Kittys dad completes the principal featured cast.

"5EA HAWK" S HELD OVER AT
 10TH CENTURY
Story of Spanish Main and English Pirates Full of
 Adventure, Romance

All the flaming adventure Of the thrill swept spanish Main lives again in Warner Bros mag nificent new production of The Sea Hawk" starring Errol Flynn as the Robin Hood of the seas, which is being held at the 20th Century for tonight and Saturday.
 Here is the reckless story of the most dangerous buccaneer who ever plundered the high seas-for the greater glory of his Queen. Thrills, excitement, spell binding adventure, tender romance are blended in gen. erous proportion to make The Sea Hawk" the years best bet in screen entertainment.
 Errcl Flynn has seldom had a role that shows to better advan- tage his magnificent talents and compelling screen personality. He is completely at home in his por- trayal of Sir Godfrey Thorpe, dar- ing privateer who engages in pira- tical pursuits against Britain's enc mics. In this, he has the unofficial approval of Queen Elizabeth. Flora Rohson portrays the good Queen Eess in film, and seldom has the rcdcubtable monarch received bet ter treatment in the hands of an actress.
 Warner Bros. have gone all the way in giving "The Sea Hawk the tor5 in production values. No eff fcrt has been spared in recreating the' sp,endor of the Elizabethan court, the tremendous sea battles between the English and Spanish gal,ecns, lavish and authentic cos tunes and settings, yet all this is subordinated to the richly dra- matic incidents of the swiftly-mov- ing story For this, much credit must be given to Director Michael Curtiz, whose ability to keep a film moving at breakneck speed is well-known to film-goers. Tn this he was aided by fine script by Howard Koch and Seton l. Miller. Music by Erich Wolfgang Korn- gold supplies rich background for the dramatic story.
