There's more color to "rasslin"
than there is in a rainbow-ask
any dyed-in-the-wool fan.
Those "grunt and groan" artists
make it a business to keep the
customers in stitches with their
antics. They try their best to
Guido each other in acquiring that
color"

anything could happen-and

downe Finnegan not only has a
title, but there's a monocle as well.
Daniel Boone Savage, who's
making faces down near San
Antonio now, had a hound dog; a

payments of back rent, which was
attended by more than a hundred
landlords and lawyers, Judge Cay
ton said:
I'VE were given assurance that
every cooperation would be given
toward working out a plan of de-
1erred payments, particularly for
those who because of illness or un-
employment had fallen behind in
their rent payments and who needed
q reasonable opportunity to bring
their rent up to date by partial pay
ments.
1T was emphasized at the confer
ence that this plan was not intended
70 alter existing agreements, nor to
establish widespread weekly or semi
monthly payments that the only
purpose was to provide partial pay
n1ents IN unusual situations and to
save expense and haraSsment for
those who otherwise would be sued
each month for rent in arrears"
Judge Cayton said the co-opera-
tion given him by landlords and
attorneys in April, and the same
cooperation being given this month

as good reason. to hope that this
new plan can be put upon sue

tenant litigation can thus be sub
stantially reduced"

Princess Declares Morse
Are Spiritually Unbeaten

Crown Princess Martha of Norway
observing her country's ''independ-
ence day." yesterday declared that
Norway remains Spiritually uncon-
quered."
Speaking over the Mutual radio
network, she said all Norwegians
both inside and outside the home
land, are convinced that the heri-
tage of past centuries will be re-
gained"
Recalling past joyous scenes in her
native land on May IT, the crown
princess said, In Oslo today there
were no children, no flags, no songs
on Karl Johan street; there was only
the heavy tramp of enemy soldiers.
And instead of the jubilant cries
of happy children, there was an
atmosphere of oppression and CEN
sorship-a blackout of our civilized
way of life"
Col. William J. Donovan followed
the crown princess on the radio,
declaring that Norway's example of
"fortitude, resolution and gallant
action" should be an inspiration to
America and "all nations who be-
lieve in the triumph of right and
of truth"

Back
Alley Dwelling Bill
With Two Chances
Amendments Proposed
In Report to House
District Committee

The Commissioners submitted to
the House District Committee yes
terday a favorable report, with cer-
tain reservations, on the Randolph
bill which would authorize the AL
ley Dwelling Authority to obtain
additional funds from private as
well as public sources to carry for
ward its slum-clearance program.
Two amendments were suggested
by the Commissioners to avoid "a
radical departure from existing law"
which. they claimed, would consti-
tute novel" situation that does not
prevail in any other jurisdiction.
The principal change proposeS
would give the Commissioners au-
thority to investigate substandard
housing conditions and give them
final and conclusive power to deter
mine the areas which should be ac-
quired for slum clearance.
The second proposed amendment
more clearly defines substandard
housing conditions as conditions
that arise where dwellings are detri-
mental to the safety, health, morals
and welfare of the Inhabitants of
the District.
"The Commissioners are, OF
course" said the report, more than
anxious to see that slum clearance
is carried on with reasonable dis
patch in the interest of the health
and safety of the residents of the
District of Columbia and the COM
munity as a whole. The scope of
authority requested in the bill is
extremely broad and the Commits
sioners are of the opinion that it is
a matter over which the original
determination as to the necessity
for such clearance should be i'm
posed in municipal authorities
rather than in a Federal agency"

Traviata' Features
Opera Directors
Nv ALICE EVERSMAN.

The feature OF the Remington
Webster Grand Opera Guilds per-
formance of Verdi's La Traviata"
at the Wardman Park Theater last
evening was the presentation Of
Dorothy Remington and William
Webster in the leading roles. This
Is the first time that the two di-
rectors of the Grand Opera Guild
have personally taken part In any
OF the opera performances which
have been given from time to time
by members OF the guild. Both Miss
Remington and Mr.. Webster have
sung extensively in opera abroad
and have made their experience
available to the group, which has
been organized under their director
ship.
In conformity to the size of the
stage for the first act. The large
chorus, which sang with spirit and
with excellent tonal quality, filled
the space and left little room for
the action by the principals, but
the festive atmosphere was main
tanned. The smaller roles prom
inent in this scene were well taken
by Erminia Leonardo as Flora,
Daniel Viehmeyer as CASTOR, James
Shields as Baron Douphal, Robert
Hasse as Marquis d'Obigny and
Kenneth Grafton as DR.. Grenvil.
Miss Remington made a charming
picture as Violetta and her voice is
OF timber well suited to the part.
The aria and the duets with Alfredo
showed her voice to advantage, al
though she did not attempt the
high notes Of the end of the aria,
but finished with trill. Mr.. Web
ster permitted the lyric character
OF his tenor voice to remain I'M
forced and his acting assisted in
the perturbation of the story. The
scenes between Violetta and AL
fredo were we'll worked out by
the two artists, Alvin Laidley gave
a secure performance of the father,
Germont, and Myra Gregg as An
nina and Mildre Barton as Giuseppe
were capable in the roles.
A small but adequate orchestra
was directed by Carl Lausch, who
was authoritive in keeping the tempt
spirited and in giving the cues.
The ensemble was particularly good
under Mr.. Lausch's watchful care.
A large audience was present and
enthusiastic In Its expression toward
the artists.

Their Discussion
Is INTERRUPTED

The discussion was abruptly
interrupted by an ejaculation
from Sergeant Hogan. His men
regarded the chief curiously as
he sat. brows furrowed, in con-
centration at one of the daily
reports he had been scanning
absently while he listened to his
men. After a few moments he
raised his head:
According to this stolen car

biles appropriated last night,

number of one of them recently,

HOLLYWOOD, May 10.
IF little Susan reads this, she'll

argument, saying, We'll, look
how beautiful Dorothy Lamour
Is, and she never eats spinach or
prunes."
As a matter of fact, however,
Dottie did eat both spinach and
prunes as a child. For when
she was naughty her mother
punished her by making her eat
them. But today Dottie shud-

In scouting the Hollywood
scene for gustatory idiosyncra-
sizes. we discovered another in
Joan Bennett, who likes Boston
baked beans mixed with rice.
Humorously enough, in Joan's
childhood the rice was a form of
punishment. For although little
Joan dotted on beans, she dis
liked rice. So to get her to eat
the rice her mother demanded
that she finish her rice first.
But instead of creating a life
long loathing for rice, 1t worked
quite successfully, for today
Joan's favorite dish is rice and
baked beans combined.

But the SLdsher
Remains at LARGE

The slasher remained at large
Early Saturday morning,
June 20, Will Names, Ashtabula
County farmer, noticed
strange car parked in his pas
ture and he phoned the sheriff's
office in Jefferson.
A deputy was dispatched TO
Investigate but he contented
himself with taking the license
number of the car and hurrying
off to the nearest phone to call
his office for a checkup on the
number. A few moments later
he was racing back to Names
pasture intent upon capturing
the killer But the maroon coupe
had vanished!
Names informed him that he
had seen the car head south on
the Ashtabula-Niles road.
Because of the tenseness of
the steel strike in the neighbor-
ing Trumbull and Mahoning
counties, Niles. Warren, Youngs-
town and other cities in the steel
area were swarming with state
troopers, police, deputy sheriffs
and other officers. Threats of
invasion of the strikebound
area by sympathizers of neigh
boring communities had resulted
in a closed road patrol with
barricades at intervals.
At the junction of Routes 46
and 422, a short distance north
of Niles, Deputy Sheriff E. J.
Sovik was OF duty at a barrier.
He noted a car racing from the
north and stepped out to halt it.
Instead of slowing up, the car
put on a burst OF speed and
ploughed right through the bar
rier.
With the car roaring away
Sovik jumped into his own ma
chine and gave chase. For the
next as minutes the pursuit con-
tinued over Trumbull County
roads with speed, daring and
recklessness that would have
done credit to the indianapolis
Speedway.
