Conservation Of film calls for
ingenuity these days.
Recently, Lucille Ball was
called 10 pose for hairdress stills
on the BEST Foot Forward" set
at MGM. These pictures are
kept on file 50 that a stars coif-
fure may be matched for sue
ceeding scenes. Heretofore, one
still was made Of the front view,
another Of the rear, then one for
each side, totaling four altogeth-
er.
Instead Of using the four mega
tives, as usual, the cameraman
set up three full-length mirrors
and achieved the necessary on
ONE plate.
The military draft has offered
beautiful young girls another
channel to screen fame and glory.
Note Beryl McCutcheon, who is
18 years old, beautiful and
blonde. When messenger boys
became scarce, the producers ma
turally enough replaced them
with girls. Producer Arthur
Freed just couldn't resist Beryl's
charm so he tested her. Beryl
will make her screen debut in
Producer Freed's next film,
"Meet the People"
Miriam LaVelle, who danced
her way into pictures, is the girl
who appeared OK Broadway
lights before her name flashed
in them. A year ago, the slim II
year-old acrobatic dancer actual
ly danced on an electric advertis-
ing sign in the Times Square
sector. There Broadway column
lists discovered her as curious
thousands stared, and before she
knew it, the youngster was a hit
in "Keep En- Laughing" She is
now appearing in her second pic
ture, "Meet the People" at
M-G-M, with Lucille Ball, Vir-
ginia O'Brien, Bert Lahr, Dick
Powell and couple of big-name
bands. Miriam has danced in
numerous theaters in New York
and st. Louis, her home town,
since she was three, when she
became the protege Of Gus Ed
wards.
Spike Jones fans will no long
er hear the "moo-siren" in the
novelty orchestrations of his
band. The unique instrument,
which sounds like the gentle,
bass moo Of COW, was appropri-
ated by James Craig when he
visited Spike at a rehearsal for

Craig took the "moo-siren" to
his ranch and experimental with
it upon his cows. The bovines
flocked to him as he made the
gadget moo. The actor-rancher
estimates it will save one man
about 40 minutes rounding up
the animals at night. This repre-
sents a fair amount of manpower

Stars of Tomorrow!
BY Ethel Vine

Thirteen-year-old Roddy Nc
Dowall considers himself a lucky
boy.
Imagine being paid to play in
picture with Lassie," he says.
Lassie is the collie sharing hon
ors with Roddy in 'Lassie Come
Home" the new M-G-M Techni-
color picture based on the novel
by the late Eric Knight and built
around a collie's devotion to his
young master.
Before shooting started, Fred
Wilcox, the films director, sug-
gested that Lassie stay with the
Nc Dowalls for a few days so that
she would become acquainted with
Roddy. The two became INSOFAR
able. The result was that the pic
ture went off without hitch. The
only sad part came when it was
completed and Roddy had to bid
Lassie farewell. But the dogs
master promised that he could
come and visit Lassie whenever
he chose.
Roddy came to Hollywood from
England following the winter of
the terrible blitz in London in

CHINESE HOLD
FAST ON BORDER
Fight Desperately To
Avoid Encirclement
West OF Salween

CHUNGK1NG, Oct. 22.--out-
numbered Chinese forces, clinging
to precarious positions west of the
Salween river near the B u r m
border, battled desperately tonight
against an encircling movement
by Japanese forces officially esti-
mated at $4,000.
The Japanese columns, already
trip1ed in number since the begin
ming Of the Yunnan province often
sive three weeks ago, have re-
ceived further reinforcements and
are also gaining in air support for
the first time since the battles
flared on the mountainous frontier
of southwestern China, tonight's
high command communique said.
The japanese, however, h av e
been unable to show new advances
in the fighting taking place at two
points west of the Salween-at Lii
chaipah and Chaikungfang-while
the enemy force moving north
ward opposite Luku was being held
in the area south of Lusui where
a furious struggle was continuing.

Atmosphere Cheerful And
Friendly As Stain
Puts On Boots

MOSCOW, Oct. 22.-tH-1n an at
mosphere of cheer and friendly CO.
oueration, the foreign ministers of
the United States, Britain and Rus
STA conferred again today on world
vital matters, and it was suggested
that the talks had veered into po-
litical channels.
Today's conference, the fourth
between U. S. Secretary of State
Cordeil Hull, British Foreign Sec
rotary Anthony Eden and Soviet
Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav
Molotov, began an hour earlier
than the others in an atmosphere
described as very cheerful"
Decisions are understood to have
been reached already on some of
many political questions under dis
cussion. This did not mean, how
ever, that the political action was
as important as the military &C
ton taken-or to be taken.
As for official announcements of
what has been said behind the
conference doors in Spiridonovka
palace, however, there have been
none and will be none until the
historic parley ends. 1t has been
intimated that Hull may m t
newspapermen formally as the end
of the talks near, and that the
British and Russians also m a y
say something publicly at the same
time.
Yesterday, Premier Joseph Sta
lin traded his khaki suit and high
boots for a new marshaPs uni
form, with epaulettes n d long
pants, and greeted the British for
eign secretary, and there were in
dications he would see Hull soon.
Meanwhile, the Russians an
nounced that their delegation to
the conference included Marshal
Klementi Y Voroshilov, command
er of Russian forces in the Far
East; Vice Commissar for Foreign
Affairs Andres Vishinsky; Vic e
Commissar for Foreign Trade Max

the foreign office.

advisers attended yesterdays four

however, that the names OF those
attending future daily talks would
not be announced.

morning, and the American dip

being killed last July was read to.
day to the Bahamas Supre m e
Court jury which is trying him
for murder.
But even before Attorney Gen
eral Eric Hallinan placed de Ma
rigny's indignant denial into the
record, he produced testimony to
cast doubt on the defendants story.
The slender, 35-year-old husband
Of Sir Harry's daughter N y
gave his statement to police when
he was arrested July 9-the day
after the gold mining tycoon was
struck four times on the head and
his body set afire while he slept
in his country home, Westbourne.
Telling about a dinner party pre-
viously described by witnesses, de
Marigny said he retired at his
| Victoria avenue cottage about 2:3(
am. after driving two guests tc
their home near Westbourne. He
was awakened at 3:15 am. wher
his friend and fellow occupant,
Marquis Georges de Visdelou,
drove away in his automobile and
returned IS minutes later.
De Marigny said he asked the
marquis to take his Maltese cat,
"Grisou," upstairs because the an
imal was annoying him. Then, de
Marigny said, he slept until sun
rise.
Fresh in the minds of the jurors
as they listened to the account
was the testimony of the defend
ants next-door neighbor, Howard
Lightbourne.
Returning home at 1890 am
Lightbourne said, he saw brigh
light in DeMarigny's bedroom. He
awakened at LAS and again a
4 am. he continued. and still the
light was burning.
Under questioning, Llghtoourne
could not swear whether the igh
burned continuously.
Chief witnesses in addition tt
Lightbourne in a fast-movlng case
against de Marigny were an Orlen

National Socialism Or Democracy
Called Real Issue In United States

RALEIGH, Oct. o. Up The
real issue on the domestic front
is whether national socialism shall
supplant American democracy, DR..
Malcolm McDermott of Duke uni
versity told the North Carolina
State Bar at its annual meeting
here today.
Earlier the bar had elected F.
S Spruill of Rocky Mount as pres.
ident; Luther T. Hartsell. jr., Con-
cord, first vice president; Bennett
H. Perry, Henderson, second vice
president, and Ed L. Cannon of
Raleigh, reelected secretary.
McDermott said that in 1886 and
1887 he had spent considerable
time in Germany, and that his
chief purpose while there was to
find out if possible lust what ma
tional socialism really means"
These are h e conclusions I
reached" he said.
That the people must be made
to feel their utter helplessness and
their inability to solve their own
problems: the principle of local
self-government must be wiped out
so that the leader or group in
control can have all political power
readily at hand; the centralized
government, while appearing in
form to represent the people, must
dutifully register the will of the
leader or group in CONTROL con-

Wildcat strikes of coal min
ers spread rapidly yesterday
friday, bringing the total Of
idle to over $4,000, and there
were indications that a call
for a strike vote among $780,
900 members of railroad OPP
Grating brotherhoods would be
issued today Saturday.
T.. C.. Cashen, president Of
the switchmen's union, said
after a meeting of railroad
men in Chicago that four Of
the five brotherhoods had re-
jected a proposed 4-cents-an-
hour wage increase, but that
the question of strike vote
had been deferred because the
brotherhood of trainmen was
not represented. A spokesman
reported leaders of the switch
men, conductors, engineers,
and firemen and enginemen
favored strike vote.
The coal strikes spread to
