By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1937 King Feature® Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD— -Rumors pursue Jean Harlow even in death. We

Jean Harlow

who run Hollywood columns hear strange stories. One is that the star's body lies under glass and may be viewed by the favored few. Another is that she docs not rest in a $25,000 crypt at all, but in one that cost only a fraction of this amount.

All these things are untrue. The star's body is not visible even to her loved ones. Her coflWi rests in a couch crypt sealed with' a slab of marble that would take several hours to remove. The /•crypt is in a private room that cost $22,500. Just before William Powell left for Europe, he gave orders for the creation of a gardenia holder of such exquisite workmanship that it will have to be sculptured in Italy. Jean’s favorite flowers were gardenias. She will have them now always. A little story heard today makes Robert Taylor seem more human. The star is secretly taking piano lessons from Helena And he is still working away at the simpler pieces. A group of us were talking about the shooting of Brig. Gen. Henry Denhardt, for which the Garr brothers are under arrest in Kentucky. Someone suggested that half a dozen studio writers probably are already translating the headlines into scripts. Bryan Foy, of Warner Brothers, said no. "In filming a news story,” he explained, "you have to have something that will hold up long enough . to make a picture and release it. And you have to have a quality that goes deeper than the headi lines.” ” Warner Brothers recently I plucked a screen story from the news. It was inspired by William Neely, Les Angeles public defender, i who very nearly hung the jury trying Albert Dyer for the murder of three little girls. The case was ■ too grewsome to be included in a picture. It was the attorney, not I' ■

Post-season celebration of the , Fourth of July caused the local night policemen to answer a ca’l on Fifth street last night, when neighbors complained of a group of child|ten setting off firecrackers. o ' Elwood Star Dies Os Heart Trouble Elwood, Ind., Nov. 10—(UP)— Heart trouble today was blamed for the death of Donald Etchison, 16, star basketball and football player at Elwood high school who died yesterday afternoon after collapsing in the school shower room following basketball practice.

No charges were filed against the youth.

the criminal, who waa used as the basis of the film. In the last 10 years, Neely has tried 25 cases a month and is said to have won 40 per cent of them. “What made this a picture,” said Foy, "was the idea of a man hired by the public to defend the guy who hasn't got a dime. That and the fact that a number of other states are installing the system." Lupe Velez and Johnny Weissmuller are becoming transients, as far as the film colony is concerned. They arrived here Monday only to board a boat and sail for Acapulco. From there they motor to Mexico City where Lupe will spend four weeks making a picture. If possible, Weissmuller will remain with her for the whole time. But he has a radio date in this country Nov. 1. ■ Many a strange request comes to Hollywood studios. I saw a letter today from a well-known surgeon in .Reno. He wants to buy a print of the Bobby Breen picture, "Rainbow on the River”. The reason ? He is overcome by the resemblance between the youthful star of the picture and his little boy who recently died. Chatter. . . .

... Mary Astor’s husband, Manuel Del Campo, apparently has given up the notion of being an actor. He tried out with the “Tonight at 8:30” troupe in Santa Barbara, but was in the audience when the company opened here. ... Miss Astor, though, im-

pressed with her performance . . . | the role of a married woman who comes to heartbreak through her love for a man who also has a family. . . . Columnist Sheilah Grahame has been dining with Robert Benchley again at the Case Lamaze. ... A twosome of interest at the Swing club: Vipla Ann Borg, just recovered from that auto accident, and Dick Purcell, the man who was driving the car. . . . Harold Lloyd’s son has nicknamed himself "Lou”. Where he got the idea nobody knows. • , . And the stables belonging to Jeanette MacDonald and Gene Raymond are so flossy that the horses ' drink out of white tiled sinks.

Tuber, master of the National Grunge, placed before 10.000 delegates to the farm orgunizutlon's 71st annual convention a 14-point program today, comprising "buslc principles that any workable agricultural policy i should contain.” The Columbus. O„ farm leader praised President Roosevelt "for | calling the congress in special ses-j ! sion and in ample time to give! I statesmanlike study to the pledge' ; of the congress and the adtninisl t rat lon to enact a permanent farm I program.” ! Such a program, he said, should: 1. Increase the farmer’s share' of the nation's income and give to | ' agriculture parity of income. 2. Build coming farm leglsla-! tion on voluntary cooperation. | rather than a "governmental, straight-jacket,” with continuing! ' farmer control. 3. Grant basic exemptions and' I give maximum benefits to the; i family-size farm, placing regula-' ! tion as far as possible on the i commercial and large-unit oper- ! ators. 4. Devise framework for a longtime land policy that shall provide for the retirement of snbI marginal land and for the increase .of forestry, water and wildlife : resources. 5. Develop the soil conserva-! ! tion act, with benefits going to all 1 ■ farmers who follow good soil, ' practices. ' 6. Provide a plan sufficiently 1 flexible to protect the interests iof all sections and give special i assistance to surplus and export j crops. 7. Guarantee the American market to the American farmer, to the limit of his ability to supply efficiently the needs of the consuming public. 8. Provide loans for crop storage on farms and increase funds tor the surplus commodity cor-! poratlon, with definite strengthen-; ing of marketing agreements. 9. Set aside a large portion of I : tariff revenue for research to; find new uses for farm products, develop new plants and crops and i equalize prices. 10. Always consider the federal i treasury and protect the interest | of the ultimate consumer. 11. Provide for storage of perI iodical, local and seasonal stir--1 pluses, with sufficient carry-over to prevent drouth or shortage front penalizing both producer and consumer. 12. Enlarge the scope of landgrant colleges, extension service, vocational agriculture, 4-H club work and similar agencies for rural benefit. 13. Utilize water resources to
