Gary, there's no substitute for the

Out of the past department:
Some seven. or eight years ago, the
marital team of Helen Hayes and
Charles Macarthur united in the
single joint project of star and play
wright in an opus titled Ladies and
Gentlemen" For all the great and
recognized gifts of both participants,
lit turned out to be just about the
least successful venture either ever
lived.
One reviewer more daring, or per-
haps merely more blunt, than his
colleagues dismissed it with the OBJ
servation that Miss Hayes must have
loved Mr.. Macarthur very much to
appear in such a play as Ladies
And Gentlemen"
The play, an adaptation of work
by Bus-Fekete, the Hungarian
dramatist, met a quick end which
everyone was sure must be perma-
nent.
Today, however, it turns out to be
nothing of the kind. Warner Bros.
have resurrected Ladies and Cen
tlemen," rechristened it Until
Proven Guilty" and will proceed to
produce it with Joan Crawford in
the starring role.
That could have been what was
wrong with it all the time, Miss
Hayes instead of Miss Crawford.
That's-settled department: No one
ever got extremely excited about
it, but the most protracted casting
discussion in the last five years has
conferred in the choice of a girl to
play Marilyn Miller in Warmers
musical biography of the once, great
leigfeld star. At one time almost
any girl who could sing and dance
has been mentioned as possible
Miss Miller.
Whatever thrill it gave any of
them to be mentioned thus can end
now, for the role finally has been
cast and with a strange quietness.
The girl on whom the studios
choice finally has settled Is June
Haver, who already has imperson-
ated several of the musical stars
of Miss Miller':s period, including
one of the Dolly sisters Miss Hav-

MADRID (By MaiO. - There
seems to be no doubt in the minds
of any one who has carefully OBJ
served recent developments in Spain
that the United Nations decision to
urge its members to withdraw their
chiefs Of mission from Madrid has
strengthened Generalissimo Fran
cisco Frances position with his peo-
ple-temporarily, at least.
According to these observers
among whom are members of the
staffs of most embassies in Madrid
the movement to oust Gen. Franco
had gained great momentum-not
only in the country but among lead
ers of the army, as well-in the
three months prior to adoption OF
the U. N. resolution.
Spanish political leaders, tnclud-
ing Right Wing Republicans, had
reached an agreement with the still
powerful industrialists to restore the
pretender, Don Juan, to the throne
Those who, in good faith, spon-
sored the withdrawal of the chiefs
of mission as the least harmful
measure for the Spanish people
themselves overlooked the fact that
regardless of their status of life,
Spaniards are probably the proudest
people in Europe.
Spaniards Indignant.
The fact that foreign governments
which are not concerned with how
Spaniards live and are ruled, took it
upon themselves to make such a
demonstration caused a wave OF
genuine indignation.
1t found expression in a mass
rally of Spaniards of all classes be-
fore Gen. Frances residence to ac-
claim him and protest against in
tervention by foreigners in Spain's
domestic affairs. The official account

million Brifons Return
To Reopened Plants,
"A Million Still Idle
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. Feb. pa million
workers returned to reopened
plants in the Midlands today on
this coolest day of the winter,
which gave icy notice that the
critical coal shortage still was
unsolyed.
Another 100000 remained idle.
Plants were reopened in only of
the 38 counties which the Labor
government had shut down two
weeks ago.
A pea soup fog blacked out Lon
don and large areas OF England,
delaying coal shipments and put
ting heavier strains. on the short
coal and waning gas supplies.
Moreton in the Marsh in the
Cotswolds of Southern England re-
ported a night temperature OF 2
degrees below zero, lowest in the
British Isles in % years and about
"a degrees below normal. Lon
don had a 14-degree minimum,
coldest since February, 1929. Fore
casters said the cold wave would
continue several days.
Frozen switches interfered with
rail shipments from mines, but
more lines were cleared OF snow.
Coal trains were given priority.
An official of a London gas COM
pany, which depends on coal In
making the fuel, said, 1--WE are very
anxious. If the fog spreads in the
Thames, as first reports show. 1t
will seriously affect the arrival
of supplies"
Few of the million workers re-
turning to chilled factories expected
to work full time until the weather
breaks and coal stock are restored
to normal.
The Ministry of Fuel and Power
called for a 10 per cent reduction
in coal consumption by gas COM
panies and warned domestic users
of further cuts in service, probably
equaling the five-hour restrictions
on the use of domestic electricity.
Many factories in the Midlands
industrial belt were unable to re-
sumo work today, despite the lift
ing of the power ban in the area.
A priority on coal shipments in the
last two weeks has been given to
power stations, and stocks at many
industrial plants were too low to
permit operation.
The Austin automobile plant G5,-
900 workers. and Cadbury's candy
works $1,000 workers. remained
closed for lack of fuel. Others such
as the Dunlop Rubber Co. (7,000
workers., the Imperial Chemistry
Industries $1,000 workers) and Gen.
eral Electric (7,000 Workers) planned
a three or four day week.
Prime Minister Atlee was Sched-
uled to discuss the coal crisis, which
the government estimates brought
unemployment to 2,500,000 men, in
the House of Commons later today.
Government sources said he might
announce the dates for reopening
industries in London and in the
southeast and northwest areas still
closed by the ban.
The Ministry of Fuel and Power
said the drastic nationwide re-
striction on electricity usage had re-
suited in the last two weeks In
building up a 16-day supply of coal
at power stations, compared to t4ie
nine-day reserve on hand when the
cuts started February 10.

Rapid closing in of the Ant
arctic ice belt forced Rear Ad-
miral Richard E. Byrd out Of
Little America today.
The small icebreaker Burton Is
land, crammed with nearly 200 men
from the historic Antarctic explor-
alton base, presumably was fighting
its way out to open sea through the
ice pack.
Delayed dispatches from Little
America reported Admiral Byrd
ordered evacuation Saturday to es-
cape deadly encroachment of the ice
oelt, threatening to isolate the base.
Departure was scheduled for last
night, but no direct word on its
progress has come from Little
America or the Burton Island.
Original plans were to leave March
/. Decision to break camp on Little
America Immediately was reached
when it became clear the ice pack
around the Antarctic continent was
starting to consolidate.
For all practical purposes, the
expedition was at an end.
The expeditions headquarters
ship, the Mount Olympus, steamed
southwark through a thick fog
toward the ice pack to scout the
edge of the formidable ice belt
as an aid to the outbound Burton
Island. It's observations may help
the ice breaker find a shorter exit
from the Ross Sea.
The ice packs edge is irregu-
lar, often having indentations, and
the area covered by the pack f1uc-
tuates with the currents and winds.
Less than two weeks ago, the edge
of the pack was about 10 miles
south of Scott Island, where the
Mount olympus has been waiting.
The Burton Islands passage
through the pack is expected to take
three to five days and the ice break
er Northwind probably will not re-
turn from New Zealand in time to
give aid unless the pack is extremely
tough.
The evacuation of Little America
has ended the activities of the CEN
tral task group and the western and
eastern groups were on the verge
of calling a halt to their explora-
tions. The wing groups may be able
to squeeze in more flights during
the coming week or so, if sunny days
