Coroner John Bowling reported that
the death of Mrs, James Mulkey OF

resulted from head injury.
An autopsy, he said, failed to dis
close any water in the lungs. The
woman suffered a slight skull frac-

woman. who had been Ill, may have
suffered a heart attack and fallen

MINERALS HAVE
 BECOME AN ISSUE
Washington May Open Fight to Drive Axis POw=
 CTS Out of Latin America

Washington, Jan. 15-UP)-Ad- ministration officials today consid- cred employing the resources of two government agencies = the metals reserve company and the treasury procurement division-in a broad scale offensive to drive Axis powers out of Latin American markets for strategic minerals.
 The treasury procurement division already has undertaken the pur- chase of mercury in Mexico, bidding successfully against Japanese pur- chasing agents. The metals reserve company, a Reconstruction Finance corpara- ton subsidiary, may enter the mar ket shortly in what officials said would be an undisguised attempt to "squeeZe out" Axis purchasers.
 To date, officials said, the treas comparatively small, but additional acquisitions are planned. They doubted that the Japanese were seeking Mexican mercury for their Axis partners-Germany and Italy because the latter have access to ready supply closer to home. Italy and Spain are the worlds major mercury prducers. Information here indicates that Germany is taking all the mercury Spain can produce.
 Japanese Are Buying
 However, according to information received here, the Japanese have been avid purchasers recently of other minerals which Germany re- portedly is in great need. Among these are copper and tungsten. The Japanese are securing all parts of Latin America for these and other vital commodities.
 The metals reserve company re- gently purchased 100000 tons of cop per in South America but officials indicated that the buying was not in connection with any attempt to corner the market. It was designed, they hinted. to forestall price rises in domestic-mined copper.
 AS for mercury, vital element in the manufacture of explosives, this country could produce enough here to make 1t independent of foreign sources, officials said, but produc- tion costs would be high.

Rosalind Russell In
 New Triumph at State
Preview of "This Thing Called Love" Impresses
 Observers With Local Girls Claim to StardOm

most fitted for, that of a cinema box office attraction.
 Time and time again Rosalind has proved that she is well-fitted for her vocation, but her latest Columbia release, "This Thing Called Love-" opening at the State Theater this afternoon, conclusively proves that appearances before the Hollywood cameras always have been in the cards for her.
 Last evening at 11:30 o'clock, Miss Julia Smith, manager of the State Theater, staged a preview of this rollicking comedy for the benefit of the stars mother, Mrs. Clara Knight Russell, her younger sister, and review editors of the local news papers. All were unanimous, judging by their consistent laughing, that this production is just what the doc- tor ordered for the local star.
 "This Thing Called Love" is a rib- ticker from start to finish and pairs Miss Russell as the loveable wife of Melvyn Douglas whose real name is Melvyn Hesselberg, an M-G-M star whom she is appearing with for the first time. Miss Russell's por- traya1 in this film is even more commendable than her perfor- mances in "Craig's Wife" Might Must Fall," '"The Citadel" and "The Women"
 The domestic troubles which arise in married life of Rosalind and Mel vyn are many and complicated. It's a well written story of marriage and morals, racing from one madcap situation to another, pausing only long enough for one to catch his or her breath before another laugh.
 Ably supporting the two featured stars are Binnie Barnes, Allyn Jose lyn, Lee J. Cobb, Gloria Holden and Gloria Dickson. The featured duo as newlyweds have their own ideas on marriage, each differing from the other. Rosalind shares the op- inion that marriages may be made in heaven, but first should be tested

on earth and proposes that she and Mel learn to share the same house before they attempt to share the same room.
 Mel. unable to do anything else, agrees, but later, Rosalind finds that the plan does not work out to perfection while simultaneously Mel discovers that Rosaiind's original idea would suit him better. Then everything is topsy-turvy as far as martial life for the pair is con- cerned and when friends step in to help them out, matters, are even more complicated than ever.
 The ready wit of Miss Russell in this role, mixed with her vibrant personality and the enviable ward robe of gowns she sports during the hour and a half comedy, makes her stand out as one of the best box of- flee attractions of 1941 as far as actresses are concerned. This Thing Called Love" certainly $ comical.
