CHIEF OF POLICE
 IN MYSTERY PLOT
Minneapolis Official Sends Resignation; Disappears
 From City

Minneapolis, July q. (UP)-The Rev. Henry Soltau, vice crusader, suggested today that a lonk between the police department and the un- lerworld may have caused the mys- terious resignation and disappear ance Of police Chief Edward Hansen,
 Nurcihg injuries suffered in vice raid at Mendota, Minn., Soltau dis closed at a hospital that he and aHnsen had planned to raid vice resort last Tuesday night. But the establishment closed Tuesday, in- dicating the operators had been ad- v1sed of Hansen's plans.
 Hansen resigned the next day. Nine days after his appointment and disappeared. He was found Fri day in Duluth, Minn., hospital, where physicians said he was too Ill to talk, even to Mayor Marvin Kline of Minneapolis.
 While am chief" aHnsen said two days before his resignation, businessmen will not have to pay anything to anybody"
 TtepOrCS clrculaCeQ that the com. bination,' an underworld organiza- tion, had been replaced by a rival group called "the syndicate"
 Dr. Harry Klein, who refused to reveal the nature of Hansen's illness, said a statement on his condition may be issued today but that the mayor probably could not interview him until late this week.
 City officials said they could shed no light on the mystery. Kline, who took office two weeks ago, chose Hansen as his police chief from an industrial police force, because a wall of distrust" existed between the police department and the pu- lic.'
 Kline suggested that "the under world is after me" and said fiction writer could not have "concocted a story more strange" than that of
 aHnsen's resignation and disap- pearance.

STATE

If you intend to see the double smash bill currently at the air. conditioned State theater you'll have to hurry as performances to- morrow evening positively conclude its engagement Headlining the bill is "Tne Shepherd of the Hills" 1" produced in technicolor and starr ring John Wayne, Betty Field and Harry Carey. The second big hit of the program is They Met In Argentina" with Maureen O'7ara and James Ellison.
 The excitement and drama of Washington today has been cap- tured, according to advance re- port, in memorable fashion to make the new hit Adventure in Wash ington" a motion picture of im- portance. Starring Herbert Mar shall and Virginia Bruce, and feat uring young Gene Reynolds, the film comes to the State on We'd nesday giving a gripping account of a scandal in Congress, of a blonde radio reporter determined to "get the story" and of a Sen- ate page boy bewildered by the breathlessness of today's events.
 Marshall, cast as the junior Sem ator from New York, finds the blonde Miss Bruce constantly "in his hair" Chairman of an import ant defense committee, possessor of secrets of international importance, he is besieged not only by the press but by Wall St. lobbyist to whom advance information would be of infinite value.
 And, in addition to his worries, there is the problem of what to do with his latest appointee = an East Side hoodlum whom, for senti- mental reasons, he names to the Senate page boy staff. The boy is determined to be g. "big shot," and his truculence and his upbringing play havoc with the smoothly functioning Senate.
 When vital information leaks out, 50 that the unpopular lobbyist makes killing" in Wall Street, Adventure in Washington" moves to the swift tempo of headline hap penings, reach a climax said to be stirring in the extreme.
 The second big hit of the pro- gram is Broadway Limited" the screens funniest scream -lined joy- ride, starring Victor McLaglen, Dennis OKeefe and Marjorie Woodworth with a host of fun- makers which include Patsy Kelly, zasu Pitts, Leonid Kinskey and George Stone.

POLI'S

Inspired by the life of Mrs. Edna Gladney, a woman who has placed more than 2O00 babies in happy homes, Blossoms in the Dust" which is now showing at the Loew Poll theater, co-stars Greer Carson and Walter Pidgeon for the first time.
 Besides departing from the usual Hollywood formula for drama, the film, photographed in Technicolor, shies away from the ordinary bril- liant tones formerly used and for the first time uses color as 8 means of furthering the plot rather than catching the eye. Only delicate, pas tel tones are used, but they serve to accentuate the brilliant titian coloring of Miss Carson.
 Miss Carson and Pidgeon have an opportunity as Edna and Sam Gladney to depict one of the screens tenderest romances, and their work in establishing a home for unwant- ed youngsters brings the problems

any formula. It may sound para doxical, but as a matter of fact, each picture is entirely different from any other they appear in.
 And speaking of being different, there's Love Crazy" their latest laugh hit coming to the Strand on Wednesday for an engagement of four days.
 They're the goofiest couple in the world, starting to celebrate 8 wed- ding anniversary by doing every- thing backwards. On another oc- casion Powell chews up a phoro- graph record, tries to dig a pit in the middle of Fifth Avenue, and otherwise disports himself. Myrna wants to divorce him, SO he pre- tends to go crazy. The alenists don't believe he's kidding, so he lands in an asylum and one laugh riot leads to another in the 11addest, merriest set of nuthouse adventures ever put on the screen.
 Beautiful Gail Patrick, comical Jack Carson, Florence Bates, Sidney Blackner, Vladimir Sokolof, Kath- Teen Lockhart and many other we'll known players are included in the cast.
 Reaching for The Sun" with Joel McCrea and Ellen Drew Is the CO., feature of the program.
