In a scene for "Look Out, Mr. Moto”, Stuntman Harvey ' Perry was hired to let out a yell and jump out a window when a lion came into the room. It was I a seven-foot drop, so Perry put a ! couple of mattresses on the ground and asked a property man to catch ’ him and break the fall. But, when they tried it. Perry’s i blood-curdling yell scared the lion I out of its wits and the animal, not I Perry, jumped out the window into | the arms of the property man. Universal is palpitating from its worst scare since the new regime took over. Deanna Durbin dashed out of a stage and right into the path of a studio truck which knocked her to the ground.

The first of these was at Langfang, midway along the 60 mile railroad between Peiping and

Tired Dodging Process Servers w r . . % Ofc. AW VlSl * B c |L J Dorothy Young[ jßlchard Bennett j_ MZ| Known for his eccentricities and unpredictable actions, Richard Bennett, father of Constance and Joan Bennett, screen stars, and himself a famous trouper, is again in the news, this time because he filed a bankruptcy petition, explaining that he was tired of dodging process servers representing his estranged wife, who is suing him.

Tientsin. The second occurred' when Japanese troops tried to force their way into the Kwangan I gate at the southwest side of Peiping. Chinese troops trapped, half of them inside the wall and ■ fighting ceased only when a Jap-! anese mediator and a Chinese official escorted the Japanese to the embassy quarter. It was asserted that the Japanese virtually i surrendered. Then, on the complaint that Chinese troops at Tungchow refused to evacuate or disarm. Japanese this afternoon attacked the Chinese garrison there with ' airplanes and infantry. A Japanese spokesman at Tientsin asserted that the Japanese I “annihilated the garrison to the ', last man.” Japanese casualties were put at : between 15 and 20 in the Tung-1 chow operation and 21 in the fighting at the Kwangan gate. The situation had become one of the most urgent gravity. One of two angry Japanese ultimatums demanding withdrawal of Chinese 1 troops had expired, apparently blandly ignored by the Chinese. A second had as its deadline noon tomorrow. Chinese sources asserted that China had decided to reject the demands. Chinese troops began sandbagging the streets on the west side of , the city and men of the 37th division—which the Japanese dislike I above all others —remained at the western gates. A Japanese dispatch from Tsingtao, down the coast, reported that several thousand troops of the national Chinese government were proceeding northward. At Tientsin. 60 miles southeast near the coast, martial law was operative in the native city after the explosion of a bomb in the Japanese concession. All last night and early this morning the sky above the Chinese city was lit by flashes from gun fire. A soldier of the 37th Chinese 1 division —the one whose removal from Peiping is most urgently demanded by Japan—told a United 1 Press correspondent at the Kwan-

i gun gate: "We are not going to let them I through, We have killed u lot j already.” All through the dark hours the fight went on with tiflo, grenade . and mortar fire. I There was an unseasonable dust I storm, and through it the Chinese soldiers flitted, stalking Japanese, while heggurs crouched in corners sheltering from the shooting Early this morning, Japanese authorities feared annihilation of their men, ruahed tanks and Infantry reinforcement* to the gate from Fengtai. A Japanese negotiator, under a Chinese troop escort, went from the embassy quarter here to try i to stop the fighting. He reached the fighting zone, saw Chinese officers and soon ! afterward the firing stopped. o PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Phil Byron of Peru | were the week end guests of the! latter's parents.

Dickstein Declares Spy System “Rife” Washington, July 27 — (UP) — Rep. Samuel Dickstein. D., N. Y., charged today that there exists a "well-organized, subversive, un-Am-erican spy systemm in this country” and listed the locations of what he contended were 21 “Nazi camps” in the United States. Dickstein also placed in the congressional record a list showing the names of 46 persons whom he described as "Nazi propagandists, agents, stool pigeons and spies.” O i Jhe Safety ‘Man Everybody that drives an automobile feels that he or she is a very careful driver. But let me ask you. “Are you a thoughtful driver?” There is a difference between careful and thoughful. Most of us operate an automobile mechanically. We drive along crowded thoroughfares, over country roads at considerable speed, thinking of the day's work or some specific problem and pay very little attention to the job at handdriving.
