According to the driver, the storm was one of the most severe in years, completely destroying visibility. If it hadn’t been for the heater which Dix had installed just before his departure, the star very likely would have landed back in the hosi pital. As it was, he was able to go on to his desert hideaway, which is located in the midst of an Indian reservation. Far away from prying I eyes, the actor virtually goes naI tive. If the sun is warm, he even , turns nudist. Rich hopes to be able to return ' to Hollywood at the end of the week, but so far he is slow in regaining his strength. Poor Alice White. She had i planned so long on a Mexican honeyi moon and now Warners are calling ‘ her back. They want her to play a ■ role in James Cagney’s new picture, i "The Heir Chaser.” As Alice had agreed to do the part, she and her bridegroom, Cy Bartlett, have nc choice but to return. Personal business — and she’s mysterious about it — carries oil- ' heiress Janet Snowden east with her film ambitions still unfulfilled. She plans to make it a flying trip, however, and to renew her attempts to crash the gates of the movies. Hollywood gossip, they say. broke up the romance between Janet and Jack La Rue. The young Italian actor couldn't stand to be considered a fortune hunter. Janet comes into a sizeable inheritance when she is 21,

Several Republican congressmen indicated they beI lieved state participation was | doubtful. Choate said he also favored a I low tax to start with ae a means i of getting rid of the bootlegger I but believed that if taxes were later increased such determination should be kept from the Illicit industry to prevent storage of bootleg whiskies and wines in anticipation of high levies. The committee expects to conclude hearings on liquor tax legislation tomorrow.

Last week's scavenger partj given by Carey Wilson for Cnrrne lita Geraghty and her friends wai voted as Hollywood’s most successful. Among other things, it caused a furore in the Brown Derby when the young guests dashed in seeking a menu card autographed by two celebrities. A performance at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre also was invaded for pairs of seat stubs. Funniest episode of the quest came when the candidates were instructed to go to the former home of an oil magnate and to secure cer tain articles. With the aid of Harry Ruskin, Carey had framed this spot so that the visitors were greeted by a butler who spoke only Spanish and introduced to a hostess who pretended to talk only French. They’ll tell you that Jean Harlow, who usually knows all the answers, went through 30 minutes of comical embarrassment trying to let the household know what she wanted (you’d laugh to know what it was), i The winning couple fulfilled 15 of , the 18 assignments and got back on ' time.

The failure to adopt any nationally-approved plan during the post-war years has of course been disastrous for all of our major producing groups." Wallace culled for a national discussion of the Pre: ident'. recovery programs in order that the nation's sentiment might be crystalized behind a unified program. He pointed to the need for quickly determining w h eth e r recovery would be sought on the basis ol an internationul or national than and indicated that for Hit- present recovery must be tarried along national lines. Ho defended the corn-hog surplus program and denied that the processing tax had been shifted to force producers to bear the burden of the costs. He warned agriculturists against the “sniping'’ ol obstructionists. "There is nothing people of this sort like better than to stir up animosities, to sow seeds ot discord at every opportunity,” said Wallace. "The fact that a group may be lighting for its life uppareldly is of no concern.'’ Wallace declared that he expect cd to extend the benefits of the adjustment act to beef cattle and sugar and possibly other products. Licensing of every plowed held

may well be studied, he suggested. > If voluntary features of present - plans fail to work successfully.

"Legitimate profits have always j been regarded In this country as 1 u proper reward for individual In-1 itiative. industry and thrift," he said. "I know of no substitute for such traits. I am in favor of the profit system, but I am in favor of starting with the farmer. "The government owes no man a living. But it is the duty of gov- ■ ernment to intervene on behalf of any man who is prevented from following ills ordinary lawful pur-1 suits in an effort to support him-: self and Ids family. “The farmer is uaturaHy capl-' talistlc. But he can be driven so far tliat in desperation he will turn to radicalism and fight with any weapons he can lay hands on to save ills home.” “I feel that fundemental plans should lie discussed and understood t before adoption," said Peek. "That new methods of social control should be clearly outlined and that . the people as a whole should have the right and duty to make the ultimate decision.” , o Trustees Meet To Consider Names ■ I Indianapolis.
