castle on a faraway hill. Then
Grandmother Molina began:
That ring once belonged to a
very beloved queen, Victoria. She
gave it to a -in-waiting to
whom she was deeply attached.
When the latter married a gentle
man from Bogota, she brought 1t
with her to South America. She
lived in the castle over there on the
hill.
"Once a revolution broke out and
the rebels stormed the castle. The
woman's husband was killed. The
rebels, however, did not kill the lady.
When they got to her, she was
already dead. She had consumed
the poison carried for that purpose,
in the locket."
Carlos was given the locket when
he left Bogota to come to this coun-
try He had it made into a ring.
He doesn't carry poison in it.
Script writers, it seems, are
pretty dumb when it comes to
putting prices on actresses who are
being auctioned off as slaves.
The one who wrote Road to
Zanzibar" for instance, thought $40
was a good price to pay for Dorothy
Lamour. Miss Lamour was full Of
dudgeon and expressed herself very
pointedly on the subject. 1t struck
her that she should bring at least
$3.50, if she knew anything about
the price of slaves.
Director Victor Schertzinger
thought so, too.
So, Miss Lamour was knocked
down for $3.50.
Paramount'S is the army to Join If
you want to soldier under de luxe
conditions. To the story recently Of
its war being called off on account
of wet grounds, another now is
added. It seems those rains which
Hollywood has been having lately
became so incessant that it no longer
was possible to call of the picture
every time the weather was unfa-
vorable. So, they decided to 90
ahead with the war, but with the
provision that dry dirt should be
strewn across the muddy battle field
so the soldiers wouldn't get their
feet wet. 1t took a lot of dry dirt,
but Paramount found it somewhere.
How long 1t will continue, no one
knows, but the picture version of
Tobacco Road has proved a de-
cided stimulus to the stage produc-
ton. That was not expected to be
the case, but now it would seem that
the play is set for another, and
ninth, season.

Action Follows Notice
BY Governor No Cuts
Planned This Year

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. 25.
(UP)-The California state
chamber of commerce today
urged a special session of the
state legislature to consider
reduction of state tax rates.
A resolution adopted at the an
nual statewide chamber meeting
held here urged the special session
after hearing from state officials
that California'S finances were in
such excellent shape that large
surplus would exist in the state
treasury at the end Of the current
biennium.
George Killion. state director of
finance, and Governor Culbert o.
son told the delegates, in speeches
Thursday and yesterday, that it
was not the intention Of the state
administration to reduce taxes at
this time. They took the position
the state should build a surplus
first, to take care Of future de-
pressionS, before considering tax
readjuStments.'
In other resolutions adopted in
bringing the statewide meeting tC
a close, the chamber pledged con-
tinued cooperation with OPM in
spreading defense sub-contracts ant
informing manufacturers on pri-
ority regulations; urged Curtailment
of non defense expenditures by the
