The state legislature, which con vent'd in special session Nov. t> for emergency legislation, has before it two liquor control plans. One, recommended by a commission appointed by Gov. Clyde L. ; Herring, would give the state a I direct monopoly of liquor sales. The beverages would be sold to licensed consumers through state- j owned liquor stores. A second plan, submitted by Sen. Vincent Harrington, Dem., would i have the retailing of liquor to private enterprise. Harrington, however, would restrict profits to such retailers to 10 [ per cent, and all above this amount | would be diverted to the use of a ' State Liquor Control Commission ■ appointed by the governor.

accompanied of ; course, by his mother, Mrs. I Evelyn Oflield. ! It will be the I first real vaca- I tion they’ve had together i n a long time. When i Jack was a little boy. his mother taught school to support them and he often had to board away from her. These later years of Jack’s prosperity. film work has kept him in

Hollywood. But now he has 7 weeks, and he and his mother don’t intend to report back to the cinema capital until January 10 Come to think of it. a surprising number of Paramount players are vacationing. Gary Cooper is in New York. Adrienne Ames is in Honolulu. Charles Laughton. Randolph Scott and Cary Grant are in England and Herbert Marshall will be there for the holidays. Not forgetting Miriam Hopkins, who has gone to New York to do a play. Donald Cook was much upset over the stories that he and Mary Brian had fallen out. To friends at the Columbia Studio, he insisted it was all a misunderstanding, that he and Mary still love each other. And there must have been a reconciliation of some sort, for the two of them were dancing to Ted Fio Riot’s music at the Cocoanut Grove on Thursday night. If you can believe Dorothy Dell, she doesn’t even intend to see Russ Columbo while she is in Hollywood. Their engagement was washed up, she says, when Russ fell for that Greta Garbo rib in New York. Remember? They framed the crooning star into believing that Greta, then playing hide and seek with reporters on Broadway, was anxious to meet him. He sent her flowers and tried to reach her for days. Ritziest of the stars, some call Katharine Hepburn, but you'll never get Jean Woodhall to agree 1 to that. The little hairdresser at the RKO studio received a personal wire from Katharine telling her to come on to New York to be with her during the run of her play. “The Lame.”

He believed that no one could be found to swear out complaints. C. L. Snyder, foreman of the grand jury which meets today, nwaits instructions from Thomas on procedure. Snyder indicated that the jurors could do nothing unless the prosecutor laid some evidence before them. Meantime the community returned to its normal pursuits. Most of the citizens apparently agreed with Gov. James Rolph.

Jean has dressed La Hepburn s hair ever since her first picture, “Bill of Divorcement." She became good friends with the actress and often spoke of her desire to see Broadway. Last night, as she boarded an airplane. the realization of her dreams was only a few hours away. She will remain with Katharine as long as the show runs. Is this a chuckle? One of Hollywood’s exclusive tailors sends a car every other day to Victorville to fit Mervyn Leroy for the many suits he'll need on his round-the-world honeymoon with Doris Warner. With location work on “Heat Lightning” scheduled well into December, the diminutive director otherwise might have been a threadbare bridegroom. QUICK GLIMPSES: Frances Dee and Joel McCrea are Hollywood’s most devoted honeymooners since Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks. Jr. Joel brings her flowers every day. . . . They’ll tell you that Gene Raymond is sad over the engagement of Betty Edwards, local socialite. A while back, she and Gene were seen everywhere together. . . . Cynthia Hobart, daughter of Henry Hobart, is Russ Gleason’s latest interest.... Housekeeping in their new home is so attractive to Verna Hillie and her bridegroom, Frank Gill, Jr., that they’ve postponed their honeymoon trip for a week. . . . While waiting for Douglas Fairbanks to start his picture, Tom Geraghty is writing a story fsr Harry D'Arrast in Madrid. Eleanor Boardman, who is

I Bette Davit

supposed to wed D’Arrast around Christmas time, will play a part in the picture. . . . It’s to be a desert vacation for Bette Davis, who is feeling a little run down after her last picture.... And now that they’ve bought "The Last Roundup” to use in “The Border Legion,” Paramount is changing the title of the film to

“Zane Grey’s ‘The Last Roundup.' " DID YOU KNOW— That Veree Teasdale, Adolphe Menjou’s intended, is a niece of the late poetess. Sara Teasdale?

ROOSEVELT IN CONFERENCES I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) which provides for a government control plan from repeal next Tuesday until enactment of permanent legislation by congress. It was revealed that the President discussed the selection of an ' administrator in a long distance i telephone conversation with Henry Morgenthau, Jr., acting secretary jof the treasury. He will wait, how- . ever, it was believed, until he returns to Washington the end of the week before selecting a man for that highly important position. The President will observe ; Thanksgiving tomorrow at a dinner in Georgia Hall. Last night Mr Roosevelt attended the annual Polio-Physio follies, given bj patients and attendants at the foundation. He laughed heartily at the songs and jokes I that dealt in the main with life at this place. A sour note was injected into the program when a dog that strayed into the hall began wailing during the singing of a spiritual by Aunt Sook, venerable negro washerwoman. Aunt Sook was undaunted by the interruption and continued amid the 1 liter of everyone. including Mr. Roosevelt. — o TOUHY GANG TO FACE NEW TRIAL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) announced the four would be arraigned today on fugitive warrants based on the Chicago indictments charging them with abducting Factor and holding him until I a 170.000 ransom was paid. Factor has identified Touhy and some of 1 the others as his abductors. Those to be arraigned for removal to Chicago to face trial i under state laws which provide i the death penalty for conviction of kidnaping, were: Touhy, Gustav (Gloomy Gus) Schaeffer. Eddie (Father) McFadden, and Willie Sharkey. Refusal of the jury to convict I the four Chicagoans, a decision i reached after 18 hours of deliberaI tion that concluded a three-weeks trial, was the first defeat for the ■ federal government in kidnaping cases it has prosecuted since enactment of the so-called Lind bergh law. o Dog Racing Nets Poor $17,467 Vancouver.
