chalked up its second valley
league victory in as many
starts Thursday night. but not be-
fore a valiant Calipatria quintet
threatened 10 turn in the seasons
first upset.
Calexieo defeated the sprightly
cagers from Calipat by 2l-18 score
in a game that saw all ten starters
remain in the fray without SUBJ
stitution being made.
Calipat Tough
Calipatria's showing indicated the
northenders must still be consider
ed as a definite pennant threat
because with a little luck the Hor-
nets might have turned the tide
Two baskets were taken away from
Calipatria, one when the referees
whistle called time out nullifying
field goal by Mamie Stames. Stames
also lost one point on a foul shot
when he stepped over the line af-
ter dropping the free throw.
Stames, touted as one OF the val
leys better players, was every bit
as good as his advance publicly in
dicated. He topped the scorers for
the night with seven points and
was more than adequate on de-
fense. Manuel Lopez was Calipa-
tria's second best.
IN the final reckoning. however
it was Calexico's edge in height
and in ball handling that brought
victory to the Bulldogs. Aurelio
Alcantar was high scorer for the
Bulldogs with six points. Alex RI
vera had five, Lynn and Garlic
four each.
Calipatria Leads
Calipatria went into lead at the
start of the game when Fade drop
ped a setup. Alex Rivera potted a
free throw for Calexico and Alcan-
tar dropped a long one from the
side to put the Bulldogs in front
3-2. Fleming canned free throw
to knot the count and Calipatria S
Mamie StameS put the Hornets in
front with a Setup Carlos Garlic
tied the score with setup shot
but Fleming, Fade and Stames con-
verted free throws for an 8-5 Cali
pat lead at the quarter. ..,-
Garlic dropped a one handler
from the foul line and White swish
ed a set shot from the foul circle to
put Calexico ahead 9-8. Stames put
Calipatria back on top with a setup
shot but Alcantar potted two long
shots from the side to put Calexico
in front 1910 at halftime.
Widman started the second half
with setup for 1918 score but
Lynn sunk two one handlers IN
succession from the foul circle for
a 17-12 Calexlco edge. Fleming
narrowed the distance to three
points but Rivera Gagged one from
the side for a 1914 count. Fade and
Rivera swished setups for their
respective teams as the quarter end
ed, Calexico 21-16.
Bulldogs Stall
The fourth quarter saw only one
basket tailed, a one handler from
the side by Stames. Calexico stalled
the final five minutes of the ball

M-G-M answers the current de- Inand for escape entertainment" from today's chaotic world condi- tions with Married Bachelor" a marital romance with an all-com- edy cast headed by Robert Young, Ruth Hussey, Felix Bressart and Lee Bowman.
 Opening tomorrow on the Loew Poll screen, Married Bachelor" tells the story of Q get rich quick schooner who becomes a national idol by @ fluke. After becoming Q celebrated "ladies' man" he is fin- ally forced to expose himself over natino-wide radio hook-up to save his own marriage.
 In his role as the fake bachelor and authority on marriage, Young's new role gives him every oppor- tunity to prove himself one of the screens outstanding farceurs. Step- ping into the part straight from his role opposite Ann Sothern in Lady Be Good" he promises to be the surprise hit of io4i.
 In the role of the loyal wife with just enough mischief in her to keep her husband in line, Miss Hussey has one of the most inter- esting roles of her career. It Is comparable to her role in Flight Command" and her recent co-star- ring assignment with Melvyn Doug las in Model Wife.
 The marital mix-up gets under way when the wrong horse wins and in order to pay off a bet to a gangster, Young poses as the auth or of 'Srhe Psychology of Marriage" He's neither a bachelor nor the author. Felix Bressart is both. But that only adds to the complica- tons. More headaches crop up when Young's publisher, Lee Bow man, falls In love with Ruth. Add- ing insult to injury, Young hands out advice daily to Bowman on how to win the girl - ignorant of the fact that he's helping Bowman win his own wife from him. But 1t all ends happily, when Bob exposes himself and BresSart resumes his rtghtful place as an authority on romantic rulings.
 On the same program is anoth- CT smash hit, the greatest thriller of the year, Frank Bucks Jungle Cavalcade".

But 1t wasn't the last. They met
again and again, and soon Fritz
Thyssen was convinced that here
was the strong man to lead Ger
many back to her old position of
power, the man who could light the
fires in the great steel mill furnaces
in the Rhineland.
And so, two years after that first

Despite occasional rumors, there
was no apparent rift in their rela-

Thyssen left Germany.
Reporters found him on November

He declined to say why he left his

Word came from Berlin that
Thyssen's Ruhr steel mills and other

But Thyssen appeared happy in

Since that time. Thyssen has

Taft Forecasts Veto
OF Record-Breakinq
Farm Measure
Ohio Senator Makes FinuI
Stond Against Benefit
Payment Boost

By the Associated Press.
Making a final stand against
higher farm benefit payments, Sem
ator Taft, Republican, of Ohio de-
clared today that an attempt by
Congress to increase the funds
would mean a presidential veto for
the record-breaking $1,340,610,744
agriculture appropriation bill.
The Ohio Senator urged the Sem
ate, in prepared address, to reject
proposal boosting the benefits to
S450000,000, and hold the appropria-
ton to the $212 1000, 900 voted by the
House and recommended in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's budget.
Senator Taft made his plea, con-
ceding that he probably would be
beaten. Only few other Senators
have spoken up against the pro-
posed increase in benefits, which
has the support of powerful
coalition of farm-minded Senators.
BarkIey and McNary Approve.
Both Majority Leader Barkley and
Minority Leader McNary said they
would vote for the larger benefit
payments and other Senate in
creases in the bill
Senate approval, expected during
the day, would send the bulky ap-
preparation back to the House for
consideration of the scores of Senate
increases that amounted to some
50,000,000 more than voted by the
House and $444,0 900 over budget
estimates.
Senator Taft pointed out that the
farm measure was the first attempt
to increase non-defense" items and
that both President Roosevelt and
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau had told Congress that these
Government outlays should be
trimmed.
IT have no duobt that the Presi-
dent will veto this bill if his recon-
mendations are increased" Senator
Taft said.
Russell Says Sum Is Small,
Senator Russell, Democrat. of
Georgia, floor leader for the farm
bill, forecast defeat of the Taft anti
benefit increase amendment and
speedy approval of the measure.
This is a piddling appropriation"
Senator Russell told the Senate yes
terday. after protesting that national
defense had brought farmers no
benefits and increased the cost of
things they buy.
Artificial devices are protecting
every segment of American life ex-
cept the man who produces the food
we eat and the clothes we wear"
Senator Russell said, adding that
this little handout will keep the
farmer off the relief rolls"
Yesterday the Senate agreed to
let the House adjourn for 10 days,
starting tomorrow, as a Senate
House conference committee COM
pleted action on a $4,000 100000 sup

chases under certain conditions.

1927 ...
Fritz Thyssen, fabulously wealthy
Rhineland industrialist, sat in the

lionaire friends, slipping the fine
wine and eating the good food served
there
AS usual, they were discussing the
economic turmoil and political un-
rest in Germany, where a dozen
political parties were scrambling
for power.
But their talk suddenly ceased.
The door opened and into the
room walked an undistinguished
figure in a battered felt hat and
stained raincoat. A lock of black
hair dropped over his forehead when
he removed his hat.
He sat down at the table with
