Congressman Tells
How to Pass Anti
Poll Tax Bill

A plan to pass the anti poll tax
bill in 1913 was announced this
week by Congressman Vito Mar
cantonio (ALP, N. W in the fol-
lowing statement:
have already arranged the in
PRODUCTION, on January 6, of a bill
to outlaw the poll-tax as a pre-
requisite of voting in federal cleo
tons. 1t will be known as H. R. Z.
To insure against a Senate fill
buster such as killed a similar bill
in 1912, my plan is, with the help
of the aroused people of the coun-
try, to secure passage of this bill
in the first half of 1913. A year
and half will be a long time for
poll-tax Senators to carry on a
filibuster.
At the end of 80 legislative days
l shall place discharge petition
on the Speakers desk, and the cam
paign to secure the requisite 218
signatures of members of the
House of Representatives to force
a vote in the House will begin.
Hearings in Committee on the bill
would be superfuous. The bill has
been fully debated. Hearings would
merely delay passage.
Every week, the people of the
country will be informed which
Congressman have signed the dis
charge petition, and which have
not. 1 am sure the people will see
to it, under these circumstances
that the necessary 21S signatures
are obtained in short order.
1t is to be expected that every
parliamentary trick will be used BY
the pon-taxers to prevent or to de,
lay passage of H. R. z.
want to assure the people who
want this bill passed that every
parliamentary vancouver will also
be used to see that it is passed.
Quick passage in the House is es.
sential to the eventual enactment
Of the anti-poll tax bill into law
am confident that with the whole.
hearted support of the tremendous
majority of the people of the coun-
try who recognize the necessity of
passage of this law as a win-the-
war measure, this quick action will
be obtained and H. r. z will become

Increase will be possible be-
Cause Of improved shipping con-

Says RayOn Superior
To Cotton Inn Tires

WASHINGTON. Sept. % tINS)
II. Leroy Whitney technical
conSultant Of the War Production
Board, testified before the Tru-
man Senate committee today that
rayon Is superior 10 cotton for
use in making heavy duty tires.
This advantage, proved in nat
ural rubber tires on bus lines. Is
even more marked In high speed
and heavy duty military equip
ment. ne said.
The testimony was disappoint-
ing 10 southern senator's attend
ing the meeting. because of their
fear that use of rayOn for tire
making will decrease the demand
for cotton in times Of peace.
War Production Board Chair
man Donald Nj. Nelson, in a let
ter to the committee, said that in
1914 the facilities Of both cotton
and rayon plants will be strained
TO provide the material for tires.
His figures showed that slightly
more cotton viii be used than

 GOLDEN CAMS
 Marlene was having her troubles too.
 Her legs and bare feet were cov- cred with gold paint. It took an hour every morning to apply the paint. Yes, a woman in the make up department did the painting And Marlene said the paint was hot on her legs.
 Sort of hot feeling like the audience will get when the picture is released, we hoped. Marlene hoped so. too.
 Also, Marlene said 1t took half an hour every night to get the stuff off. And even then, she said the paint didn't entirely come off.
 "It leaves my legs greenish color" Marlene said. And the studio is worried that the gold paint is going to kill me-
 There were other problems, too of being a Bagdad nautch dancer in the movies. It took 45 minutes to put on Marlene's makeup. an hour to do her hair. And Al Block, the censor fellow, was al- ways fussing around to see that some gold chains and a piece of black chiffon around her mtdsec- ton were in the right place.
 She had planned to do the dance

Marlene said, with gold chains in. stead of gold paint on her legs But the chains were always break ing" she said, 'and all the weld. CTS were in the army" So theJ switched to the paint.
 AUTHENTIC ACT
 The dance, she said, was an au. thentic bit of Bagdad rug cutting of 1000 years ago. The dance di' rector, Jack Cole, was always tell. ing her not to be graceful, she said. So instead of dancing on her toes she was doing the dance flatfoot. ed.
 Because the dance is authentic, Al Block said he wasn't worried too much about what Will Hays would think. Except that when he told the local censorship office about the authentic business, they said, "A lot of things they did in Bagdad can't be done in Holly. wood"
 Block was worried, though, he said, about the climax of the dance when Marlene throws herself on a red rug and kicks her legs Up in the air. He expected he would censor both Marlene and the cam. era, else, MT. Hays would have Q nervous breakdown.
 Marlene said she was worried, too.
 Maybe her legs would be green for the rest of her life.

STRAND

Two of the most colorful rulers ever to grace the pages of history the much married Merry Monarch of England, Henry VIII; and Rus sia's queen of destiny, Catherine the Great-are the subjects of the unique combination film program currently at the Strand Theater. The pictures are Alexander Korda's Private Life of Henry VII" and Catherine the Great" which was also produced by Korda.
 Starring Charles Laughton in his greatest role, The Private Life of Henry VIII" remains one of the sprightliest film biographies ever made, Tn humorous vein, deftly told and superbly acted by a gilt tering cast, 1t tells the story of Henry the man who sometimes for got he was Henry the King. The film shows us Henry's private life, the stories of his five wives, and the court intrigues which made him England's most colorful ruler.
 Alexander Korda's Catherine the Great" stars the inimitable Eliza beth Bergner In the title role. As the unsophisticated German princess who rose to the throne of all the Russians, she contributes Q perform ance that remains unforgettable throughout the years.
 The story begins with her first meeting with the Grand Duke Peter heir to the throne, to whom she has been sent as prospective bride. At first Peter rebels at this marriage with a girl he has never seen, but finally won over by Catherine's quiet charm of manner, he accedes, and then begins one of the strangest roc mances in history. The moody, un- practicable Peter had greedy eyes on tottering throne. And when he finally became ruler of Russia, he was not destined to sit on his throne for long, Powerful forces, court in- trigues, and the burning ambition of a woman, resulted in Peters down. fail-and Catherine became ruler of all the Russias, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr,, who has forsaken his screen car eer for the duration to play a big ger role in the armed forces, plays Peter.
