STRAND

An amazing racket" but one which is definitely known to be flourishing in some sections of the United States, is dramatically ex- posed in Black Market Babies" the unusually interesting Monogram drama which opened an engagement at the Strand Theater last night, The story is absorbinely portrayed, and shows in detail how a mater nity home switches" and sells newly-born babies for eXhorbitant fees, under the guise of disposing of them for legitimate adoption.
 In the story Ralph Morgan a weak willed doctor, is forced by gangster Kane Richmond to become associated with the baby racket, with George Meeker as the attorney for the illegal combination, and the pro- testing Marjorie Hoshelle as recept- ionist. Completing the featured cast Jayne Hazard Is seen as the gang ster's wife, and Tela Loring as her sister; who is told that her baby was born dead, though actually 1t has been given to a childless souple who have made a gift" of $5,000 to the institution.

Now on the screen at the Loew- Poli Theater is the newest produc- tion of "Tarzan and the Leopard Woman" based on the famous stor- les by Edgar Rice Burroughs and starring Johny Weissmuller, Brenda Joyce and Johnny Sheffield.
 A secret band of native fanatics garbed in leopard skins and wear ing steel claws, has been attacking passing jungle caravans, murdering their personnel. Tarzan rescues four zanlbesi maidens from one such as- sault, but is trapped and carried off to be sacrificed, along with Jane and Bay, by order of a merciless queen of the Leopard People.
 Thanks to his clever chimpanzee Cheta Tarzan is freed. By superhum- an efforts he scales the entrance to huge cave in which most of the leopard men are celebrating. He saves Jane and Boy" and finally eliminates the remaining members of the savage cult in a thrill-packed climax.
 The companion feature "China's s Little Devils,' shows new angle of the Pacific War. Harry Carey and Paul Kelly are co-starred in the picture, and both turn in the qual- ity of performances to be expected of two such capable veterans. No less important to the story is 'Ducky' Louis, remarkable 13-year-old Chinese youngster, who makes his acting debut as the leader of a group of fearless Chinese children engag- ed in guerrilla warfare behind the Jap battle lines.
 The cast of Chinas Little Devils" includes many Chinese of all ages, and @ group of Occidental players which includes Ralph Lewis, Jimmy Dodd and others. Grant Withers has produced the picture on an ex- pansive scale.

CHOICE MoRsEL It Says Here
DRY WEATHER
By BOB HOPE .

The California rainy season just past has been a big disap- pointment. It's been so dry I took a ride down Hollywood Boulevard and struck three sand bars.
 think that dry spell is a huge plot on the part of Turhan Bey's agents. They want to transform Hollywood into desert SO Turhan will be in great demand for Arab pictures.
 And that weather has had an unusual effect on crops out here >.. they're coming upl
 Los Angeles public officials are worrying so much that just to conserve the water supply they've asked W. c. Fields to cut down on the chasers.
 And the water holes around the country are so dried up that Dor othy Lamour spotted a wolf at her swimming pool one night and took a shot at him but ducked in time.
 It's really amazing the way things are dried to a crisp. In fact, every time Ann Sothern starts chewing her gum the neigh bors three blocks away complain about the noise.

 Secretary of Commerce

Washington, April 4-(NEA) -The most momentous issue before the American people-and the peoples of all the worlds the control and development of atomic energy.
 This issue Is now undergoing a decision by Congress--the represen- tativeS of the people,
 But the peoples cause is in jeop- ardy.
 The Special Committee of the United States Senate on Atomic En- ergy--of which Senator Brien Me- Mahon, of Connecticut, is chairman had three bills before 1t for con- siderationS Of these, Senator Me- Mahon'S own bill was the only one which maintained the principle oi government responsibility to the people. It was the only one which placed control of the atomic energy commission completely in the hands of the electorate and its chosen representatives.
 The McMahon bill stood for the traditional principle of civilian con- trol over military matters-a we'll founded tenet of the American sys- tenn which has always guarded against military domination or dic- tatorship. The McMahon bill best provided for the development of the peacetime uses of atomic energy through the channels of free private enterprise under careful government control and licensing. It best provided for the utilization of atom ic energy to assure abundance for all,
 But there were powerful forces arrayed against the McMahon bill, And they have struck their first blow.
 By a decision of six to one this special committee voted to give ulti- mate control to the military. No other interpretation can be placed upon the amendment prepared by Senator Vandenberg
 The original provisions of the McMahon bill fully protected the AuAAAIaAy SCCUASg VI pAAAo SOullVS , The amendment added nothing to our security. Instead, 1t only cre- ated the potentialities of a military dictatorship-or military fascism, call 1t what you will. P U GAL TWO
 I have the utmost faith in our military establishment. But mili- tary control in times of peace would destroy democracy.
 The scientists of this country fully equipped with a social con- science-are doing splendid work in trying to make the American people aware of all that is involved in the atomic power issue. But they have not yet succeeded in their task. The people are not yet fully alert-and time Is short.
 As a nation, We must be in the forefront of the peacetilne develop nent of atomic energy. We must not let other nations pass us. We must, with free scientific investiga- tion, explore all the ramiflcations of peacetime use. And I just don't believe We can do this under mili- tary control.
 That is why I have given unquali- fled support to President Trumans program for civilian control. That is why have argued ceaseleSsly for the McMahon bill which em- bodies the Presidents program. That is why I appeal now to the people to speak out before 1t is too late.
 Senators and congressman should vote for the McMahon bill without the Vandenberg amendment.

HOLLYWOOD, April 4--DEAR STAFF: When Gene Autry faces the cameras early in June, for the first time in three years, he will start work bound by one of the most unusual agreements ever con- sented to by 8 motion picture star. It all came about when Autry sued his studio for release from con- tract. which, in his opinion, had terminated during his years in un- form. The outcome of the litiga- tion was that Autry agreed to make four pictures for Republic. After that, If he feels he has been given fair treatment, he will make four more. Republic can hold or release the cowboy star under the same terms.
 In other words, studio and star are honor bound to do right by each other. It Is to the interest of both parties to make good, and the real winner in this unusual bar gain will be the public who should enjoy some fine pictures as a result of the close cooperation bound to ensue with Autry and his employers doing their level best to turn out top flight entertainment.
 Somehow I like the idea. Instead of fighting each other star, pro- ducers, writers, and the numerous technicians concerned in the mak- ing of picture all will be work ing like Trojans and giving their best to see that every one of those four films will be the real Mccoy. You can rest assured that I will be in the front row when the first one is shown, for, with such spirit behind it, the picture can't miss. hate to see stars and studies involved in lawsuits, since in the long run most suits result in deadlock. The bad blood engendered on both sides is enough to inter- fere with the work being done. But in the case of Autry and Republic both are honor bound to act in good faith and the stakes are high enough to guarantee the results. must remember to congratulate Gene and his bosses when next we meet.
 DEAR BOSS: We hear that if this agreement pans out, Gene bids fair to sign another long term con- tract with Republic. So the studio stands to rake in lot of shekels if they make Autry happy and he, in turn, undoubtedly would prefer to remain with the outfit that nursed him to the heights. You're right Boss, it's a swell idea and we, too, are roofing for all con- cerned.
 Now, let's play fair with our own customers and give them the low down on some of the higher-upS:-

Alcohol Makers Ask CPA
To End Curbs on Corn
BY the Axsoejeted PyAxs

Manufacturers of Industrial alco-
hol today asked the Government to
remove the limitations on use of
corn in making industrial alcohol,
so the country's alcohol needs can
be met despite the shortage of mo-
lasses.
The industry also asked the Civil
ian Production Administration to
remove the present wholesale CELL
ing price of 531a cents a gallon
on industrial alcohol made of mo-
lasses, as well as the liquidation OF
the alcohol stockpile built up by
the Reconstruction Finance Corp. 1
The requests were addressed to
the GFA at meeting here with the
Industrial Alcohol Industry Advis-
ory Committee. CPA said plants
using molasses have been operating
at IS per cent of capacity, with no
relief expected until April, when
molasses from Cuba's next cane crop
will become available. Until then
production will fall short OF the
country's needs unless corn is used,
the industry spokesman said.
If the plan proposed by the in
dustry committee were adopted, all
available molasses would be shipped
to plants not equipped to handle
corn. 1t was estimated these plants
would be able to operate at not more
than 40 per cent of capacity.

8 New York Hotels
To Be Exempted in
Musicians Strike
BY tho A.soeiaisd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Eight New
York hotels were authorized today
by the AFL American Federation Of
Musicians to continue furnishing
music to patrons even as James c.
Petrillo, union president, moved to
extend a strike of musicians to so
hotels in other cities within the
next few days
Richard McCann, president of
Local 802, said the eight hotels had
agreed to abide by the terms of any
settlement that might be reached
between the union and the main
group of struck hotels here and to
make the settlement retroactive to
September 2.
He listed the hotels as the Vic
toria, George Washington, Elysee,
Belvedere, Henry Hudson, Madison,
Montague and Dixie.
The union struck in Sc New York
hotels at 1901 am. yesterday in
support of demands for wage in
creases averaging Is per cent. The
hotels contend they cannot pay the
increases. A compromise offer of a
f21a per cent wage increase was re-
fused by the union.
Mr.. Petrillo said in a news con-
ference last night that he had given
strike orders to the Palmer House
and the Stevens Hotel in Chicago,
members of the Hilton chain.
In Chicago a spokesman for the
hotels said Mr.. Petrillo was violating
"by decree" an arrangement reached
with the Chicago Federation of
Musicians. They said the unions
demand for increased pay had been
met several days ago and were ac-
cepted by the Chicago local"
Mr.. Petrillo said there was no
question of contract violation in
volved.
Mr.. Petrillo refused to name the
cities and hotels he said might be
affected later.
Earlier, he ordered musicians to
quit their orchestra stands in other
cities if the hotel in which they were
working was affiliated with the New
York hotels affected by the strike.

King George Intends
To Return 10 Greece
In 7 or ; Weeks
BY the Assoeiotsd pye.s

LONDON, Sept. 3.-King. George
OF Greece, described by a confidant
as "a very happy man" today, in
tends to return to Athens in two or
three weeks, government spokes-
man said, thus ending his second
exile since 1924.
The returns from Sundays plebis-
cite on the monarch's return to his
throne were still running at better
than two to one for King George and
dispatches from Paris said Premier
Constantine Tsaldaris of Greece
now attending the peace conference,
might confer with the King today or
tomorrow.
The influential Times, comment
ing editorially, viewed the results of
the pleoiscite as a signal for the
withdrawal OF British guardianship
and the assumption by the Greek
Government of full responsibility
for the peace and welfare Of the
country.
The conservative Daily Telegraph
called the result of the balloting a
rebuff to Russia and Communist
"autocracy."
Reds See Democracy Dead.
Whatever was the calculation"
the telegraph said, the recent out
bursts of Russian Foreign Minister
Molotov and Ukrainian Foreign
Minister DmitrD Manuilsky evi-
IDENTIFY have not had the effect Of
lessening the traditional Greek love
of independence"
The Communist Daily Worker
commented, on the other hand, that
Greece was no longer an independ-
ent country-it is a British colony"
Democracy in Greece has been
murdered and the assassin Is the
Labor government in London" the
Daily Worker said.
And as King George prepared to
end his five years of exile, the ad-
miralty announced that a British
battle feet would follow an Ameri-
can naval force into the waters oil
Greece about September 10. The
American aircraft carrier Franklin
ID Roosevelt will send 1873 fighting
planes to write .FDR" in the skies
over Athens Thursday, but the Brit
ish fleet will approach much nearer
to the diplomatic sore spot of the
Dardanelles than the American,
force.
