"DUCK!" YELLED Curley.


As the cutter held its course be-
tween the speedboat and the dark
hull of the submarine. the two men
slid down while hell broke over
them. The tearing. crashing thun-

pact Of whining lead against steel
made an eternity Of the hve-second
passage through the range OF sub

they felt a ringing silence and the
racing cutter beneath them again.

the wheel with his left hand while

the engine down as he awkwardly
strove to swing the boat around.

boat. His right shoulder sagged, his
arm hung useless. but he seemed
unaware OF It.
The Mexican's head was clearing.
He mopped the blood from his face
with the corner Of his coat and
shot a glance into the dashboard
mirror. "Our luckee day, senor." he
cried. The cut Is from glass and
not from bullet" He grabbed the
wheel with fervor.
Cold perspiration beaded Curleys
upper lip as he grinned back at the
guard. You're a good Joe," he said.
His gaze turned back to the speed
boat, and he muttered grlmly. "Are
you game to rise and fight again
They're heading back for the sub.

more, the other cutters might be

Flora is in blackface for her role in

With the presentation last night
of Schumann, Glazounow and Jo-
ham Strauss the Ballet Russo closed
its first 1913 engagement in Con-
stitution Hall in a furry of color
and a din of applause. The COM
pany, which appeared under aus
pieces of the National Symphony
Association was in excellent form
despite an arduous two days which
in addition to the regular perform

ance at the Stage Door Canteen.
The fiber of these dancers must

fully elastic.
AS a whole the program had
something of the spectacular to Of

of "Carnaval," a consolidation of
several piano pieces of Schumann,
the theme is that favorite of clas-

that the methods employed here
are criminally routinized, as they
might be, say, by the masters of
Hollywood who also like boy-meets-

Broke the Plains" But it does not
seem at all unreasonable to antici-
pate that movie called Powers
Girl" might have some dramatic
things to say about how to get your
picture in a cigarette ad or be taken
to supper by, perhaps, George Jean
Nathan. If life is no more exciting
for the poor, beautiful things than
the Capitols picture implies, they
might just eat all the starches they
want Cor can get and wither away
in comfort.
It was the notion of Producer John
6tahl and Director Norman z.
whats that forp Mcleod that
their story should be given the
comedy treatment. The burden of
making it funny falls primarily upon
the ordinarily nimble Murphy, whose
conception of his part is that he is
playing Andy Hardy to some pur-
pose that is not quite clear to him.
It won't be clear to you either, but
you might admire the fellows game
ness in daring to make the excited
gestures and strange noises which
the public associates with Andy.
Even the dialogue is not unlike that
Andy has spoken in the uneasy
presence of beautiful women, such
as "A fox is a wolf who sends
flowers" 1t is witty like that all
the way through and when Murphy
looks disconnected, you understand
why.

to give her that, but on the inside

Hecht Co. 0PACase
Slated for Trial as
Agreement Fails
Store Attorney Declines
Suggestion to Accept
Modified Injunction

Despite last-minute effort by
Pre-trial Justice David A. Pine to
reach an agreement between the
contending parties, the Govern
ment's case against the Hecht Co.
on charges of price ceiling and price
posting violations will be settled in
trial court proceedings on the In
sistence Of opposing counsel.
The case, in which the once Of
Price Administration Is seeking a
permanent injunction against the
store, Is expected to reach court
early next week The trial will con-
sumo approximately one week, ac-
cording to the lawyers handling the
case.
Modified Injunction Suggested.
In the pre-trial proceedings yes
terday. during which opposing
counsel stipulated points OF argu-
ment and various exhibits and docu-
ments, Justice Pine asked OPA
counsel If it would consider modify
ing its complaint to drop allegations
of "willful violations" leveled at the
store, providing the store would con-
sent to the modified injunction.
Fleming James, jr., OPA, attorney,
indicated he was not prepared to ac-
cept Justice Pines specific recon-
mendation but would consider q
suggestion along those lines"
Spencer Gordon, Hecht attorney,
objected, however, pointing out that
the store could not consent to the
injunction at the risk of running it's
reputation" Mr.. Gordon's colleague,
Charles A. Horsky, told the court
that opposing counsel had spent 10
days trying to reach a settlement
and observed that the case cant be
worked out on any other basis than
a trial"
Mr.. Gordon underscored an argu-
ment appearing in Hecht's answer
to the OPA complaint by pointing
out that the store has spent a great
deal Of money and time endeavoring

changing OPA regulations and
could not do the job more efficiently
under the spur Of a permanent in
junction.
Seen as Test Case.
There never will be time when
there won't be few minor infrac-
tions," he said, because OF the ma
ture of the regulations.
OPA was also represented by
Charles Prettyman and George M.
Austin.
1t is expected that Mr.. Austin will
handle the case, regarded as an i'm
portant test OF OPA authority in
the price ceiling and price posting
regulatory field.
Similar charges by OPA against
Woodward & Lothrop. meanwhile,
will probably be reviewed in pre-
trial proceedings next week. The
case may reach trial court late next
week.
