By HARRISON CARROLL <<>p>rl(ht, 1537, King Fraturei* Syndicate, Inc. HOLLY WOO D- The year’s boldest snatch of a Hollywood ; aouvenlr was accomplished the i other night at the Trocadero and afforded much amusement to the few who realized what was going on. Joan Crawford was the victim. Toward the end of an evening of dancing, the star wanted to cool her tootsies, so she eased off her slippers. It was perhaps 30 minutes later when she reached out her toes to find them. They were gone. The embarrassed actress searched frantically, but no luck. An unidentified fan had thefted the slippers and Joan had ) to leave the swank night spot in her stocking feet. Remember the taxicab. "Eloise”, in "Seventh Heaven” 7 Well, Twentieth Century-Fox has dragged it out of storage and is using it again for the closeups in the new Simone Simon-James Stewart version. The vehicle is so ancient —it actually was used by the famous taxicab army that saved Paris—that the studio has rigged up a double for the action shots. You Asked Me and I'm Telling You! Maxine Sweetzer, New York City: I don't know how many I Christmas cards the average star | in Hollywood sends out. but I do know that Bing Crosby had a mailing list this year of 1,200. In case you are interested in what the stars gave each other for Christmas. Glenda Farrell presented Drew Eberson with a type- : writer and a radio. Tom Brown gave his mother a 200-piece set of silver flat service. His ma gave Tom a grand piano. Though he likes Hollywood very much, Freddie Bartholomew has hl* moment* of homesickness for

Francisco Fran-' co, Spanish nationalist leader, had | ■ embarked on his supreme attack on Madrid in hope of breaking the i loyalist resistance. '■ If the new offensive fails. France would not be surprised to see Germany take the diplomatic offensive and seek the withdrawal of all foreign volunteers from both arm- ! les. This would leave the nationalists ' and loyalists, fascist and left wing forces, to fight it out between them in an isolated Spain while Europe looked on and armed for a possible general war. Battle Continues Madrid. Jan. 6. — (U.R) — Bitter fighting continued at Majadhonda. 18 miles northwest of Madrid, today as insurgent forces tried to ' consolidate their positions only to be shelled out by government artillery as fast as they dug in. Loyalists denied they had lost Las Rozas or that the insurgents had cut the Madrid-El Eecorial I line of communications as they had

claimed. The insurgent attack, launched against Las Rozas, has continued since Monday and thousands of I German troops, using world wuri | lactic*, hud hurled themselves! ; against the key points of Madrid's! communications with El Escoriul 1 and the Guadarrama mountains. Wild, desperate fighting on two Madrid fronts was holding up the 1 insurgent advance as the buttle. went into its third day. The gov-1 eminent militia stormed machine' gun nests in Villaverde and cup-' tured two fortified houses. 1 The German muss attack on ’ I Majudhondu forced the defending ] 1 loyalists to retire to their secon-| | duly positions but the lines held i except in two places. What might i I have become a general rout was halted when the loyalist militia 1 doggedly stuck behind their barri-| cades and trenches where they, withstood shelling, bombing and ‘ infantry attacks ull last night. o Former Legion Head Seriously Injured Lagrange, Ird., Jan. 6 —(Special) —Harry Ritter, sales manager for the Northern Indiana Public service., is in a aerioii* condition at , the Erwin hospital here.
