ROMANCE
 OPENING TONIGHT
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

When a glamorouS lady cop, bewildered newspaper reporter and discharged war dog get mixed up with a tough racketeer, anything can happen-and does in the new 20th Century-Fox comedy farce Tt Shouldn't Happen To Dog" tonight at the 2Oth Century Theatre.
 Lovely Carole Landis and com- edy favorite, Allyn Joslyn, star in this production and there's Rod ney, a pedigreed Doberman Pins cher, who does his best to "steal' the picture.
 Curvaceous Carole plays the lady cop whose soft arms represents those of the law, with Joslyn in the part of perplexed news paper science editor who has a tough time distinguishing between an atom and an apple.
 What happens when this news hound who knows all the angles sets out to expose black mar ket ring and becomes entangled with the lady cop with all the curves, makes for an hilarious film-fest of merry mayhem and riotouS romance.

 Wallace talks tonight to a Har- yard University rally sponsored by the American Veterans Committee, then moves on later in the week to Springfield and Pittsfield, Mass, and New Haven, Conn.

COLLAPSE OF PIER
 INJURIES TWO; 14S
 PREVIOUSLY HURT

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-lR-Two men were injured, third suffered from shock and a fourth escaped unharmed today when two sections of the front wall of the burned out Hudson River pier 57 collapsed.
 Three of the men were marine surveyors who were examining damage from the S5000,000 fire which had been burning since Sun- day night. The fourth man, a long shoreman working on an adjoining pier, suffered so from shock at the sight of the accident that he was taken to a hospital.
 As the entrance facade to the pier collapsed, the 60 by 150 foot section carried with it the front wall of what had been the offices of the Grace Line, operator of the pier.
 Battalion Chief John J. Broder- ick, who had been behind the wall two minutes before it collapsed, had ordered all firemen working there to leave because he feared the facade would collapse. As a result, no firemen- were trapped, al though Broderick said immediately after the accident he believed at least three or four firemen had been working at the point. Since the fire broke out 148 firemen have been hurt.

CUBANS END DOMINICAN
 REVOLUTION
Invasion of Dominican Re- public Fails, Alternate
 Cuban Plan FoiIed

HAVANA, Cuba, Oct l.-IR- 'Cutan army authorities said that a 1,500-man expeditionary force poised to overthrow President Ra- fael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic had been broken up.
 Col. Oscar Diaz, the armys chief investigator, said some of the plotters, after their plan to in wade the Dominican Republic had failed, had conspired against the Cuban government.
 The Cuban Senate immediately launched an investigation of the whole affair. Col. Diaz said he had turned over to the Supreme Tribunal many documents in the case.
 Diaz said 360 members of the expedition had been picked up, naked, unarmed and without food and water, on Quinchos Cay, a sandspit 50 miles off the North Cuban coast 300 miles from Ha-
 
 vana. He said Il bombing planes also were seized. The men were brought to the camp prison at Camp Columbia, army headquart- CTS in Havana.
 They said they were put down on the cay after refusing to obey an order from the expeditions commanGer-issued after the party put to sea, to attack the Cuban navy if it were sighted.
 Gen. Genovevo Perez, the Gu ban army's chief, announced after conference with President Ra- mon Grau San Martin, that two of the expeditions ships had sur rendered at Antilla, an East Coast Cuban port not far from the ex- treme northern tip of the island

VETS HAVE EDGE
 IN H0MESTEADING
 ON ALASKA H!WAY

An eleventh hour move by the Department of the Interior has placed Veterans in a highly favored position to settle on land along the Alaska Highway and the Gulkana- Tok cutoff, it was announced to- day by Lowell M Puckett, Regional Administrator, Bureau of Land
 Management.
 With the area opened to home
 steading only on October second,
 the Department has decreed that
 only qualified veterans of World
 War II may homestead on the land before ten am. February 2, 1948, Puckett explained The settlement must be made under the homestead laws, not small tract occupancy, it was stated.
 Heretofore unsurveyed lands were not subject to Veterans preference
 but were open to settlement or squatting by anyone who compiled
 with the homestead settlement
 laws, although Veterans were ac-
 corded credit for the.r Military Ser
 vice. Puckett explained
 The Regional Administrator stat
 ed that he was anxious that all in- terested persons be advised of the newly adopted amendment to the Public Land order as general in-
 formation released to the public heretofore had stated that anyone
 who was qualified to obtain land could go into the area and settle. The new move by the Depart
