DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1937.

90 MILLIONS 'cr>\ ■•lypßD yp, lor several days. The election was carried out in a holiday atmosphere. Polling places were decorated with flags and bunting Many of them provided club rooms where voters could piny chess and 1 listen to the radio. Many waited all night to cast their ballot for Stulln. Three mysterious changes in nominations were revealed by the election. Yakov Aleksnls. chief of aviation for the red army, had been nominated for the council of the union from the Moglllev district in White Russia. The newspaper Soviet in which Russia listed Ivan Maflenikov, chief of the border guard troops, as the district candidate. The newspaper also listed Bokis, commander of the tank corps of the army, as a candidate from the Orsha district hut on its final election lists showed Lieut. Daniel Novitsky as the candidate. The name of Valory Maxhlauk, previously listed as a candidate from UFA in the Ural mountains, wasi replaced by that of Comrade Krenkel, a north pole radio operator. Such changes were generally considered indicative of possible administration changes. Stalin was given a tremendous ovation as he voted at noon at the precinct inside the walls of the Kremlin. | • —— - o ■ ■ ■ UNITED STATES '--nv-rTWTTvm u-wnM«n*ce- r>WVP i vivors were believed to have been landed.

they are hurting the cigar business. A representative o t one of the bigger companies just complained t o Ernst Lubitsch that the only men you see smoking cigars i n films are crooked politlcia ns, gangste rs, heavies

and comedians. Lubitsch, who is perhaps Hollywood’s No. 1 cigar smoker, listened sympathetically and promised he will let the leading man puff one in a future picture. * This is a town where they love i to make screwy bets. Humphrey Bogart and Eric Hatch (he wrote "My Man Godfrey”) have wagered SI,OOO on a golf game that will last about a year and a half. Each Sunday they each take one stroke, mark the spot where the ball i landed and start from there the next week. As both shoot in the eighties, the bet won’t be decided until 1939. Almost as daffy is the cropraising bet of Leo Carrillo and Victor Fleming. Both own ranches near San Diego. They are planting oats on identical plots of ground and the one who makes the biggest crop wins a saddle horse. Don’t think it ever happened before that one studio cornered the stunt-man market. Hollywood has I 95 of these men who specialize in | risking their necks for the movies. < Warners has put the whole lot of them under a week’s contract to supply thrills for a pitched battle in “The Adventures of Robin Hood”. The fight will be staged on the Nottingham castle set that I covers half the back lot. Weapons i will be long bows, broadswords and ' lances. The town of Grafton, Mass., can’t forget the excitement that the M. G. M. “Ah Wilderness” i troupe brought to its quiet streets a few years back. According to word received by the studio, Grafton has just staged a celebration commemorating the visit of the movie company from Hollywood. Scenes of the film were re- i wounded. Says 96 Killed New York. Dec. 13—(U.R) The Socony-Vacuum company today announced it had received private cable advices from China indicating that 96 persons were killed! when Japanese airplanes bombed : four American ships near Nanking . early Sunday. The cable received by the com-' pany from its Shanghai manager, . A. C. Cornish, said: “We regret to advise that we are informed by I'. S. officials that the U. S. S. Panay with three of our J boats while proceeding slowly upriver Sunday afternoon was attack-' ed by 18 Japanese bombers and pursuit planes 27 miles above Nan-1 king. “Panay sunk. Meian beached and deserted. Meishai and Meiping burned at wharf (three last named are tankers). “H. M S. Bee (British river gunboat) informed us it has picked up I J. V.

enacted in the streets and I the town's only theater revived “Ah Wilderness” for a day. A strange yarn in a letter from Sidney Blackmer. Going east, he left a SIO,OOO square-cut emerald ring in a hotel washroom at Flagstaff, Arlz. He discovered the loss at Winslow and phoned back, hut the hotel could find no trace of the ring. Blackmer could scarcely believe his eyes, then, when the ring was sent to him later at the Players club in New York—without a message of any kind or even the identity of the sender. The actor’s name and address—the Plgyers - was on the inside of the ring, so, presumably, that is how it found its way there. But whom, wonders Blackmer, does he thank for the return of the jewel? The latest of those rumored accidents to movie stars had Carole Lombard jittery on the "Food for Scandal” set. Clark Gable, according to the story, had been injured in an auto crash. Carole burned up the wires trying to find Clark who was out of town. When she finally did, she was so relieved she told him to call her every half hour on the set. And what is more, set workers declare he did. Quickies. . . . Twentieth CenturyFox is covered by insurance for the loss of time due to Sonja Henie’s mishap. . . .

At the same time the company ! gave out an official statement which said: ! "The Standard Vacuum ships were at Nanking for safety of the 1 white staffs.

"Tile seriousness of these incidents needs no emphasis," Eden declared. "In addition, a United States gunboat has been attacked with loss of life," Eden continued. "The two governments are in consultation." Eden at first was reluctant to answer questions and said he had l nothing to add to previous statements, but the questioners were insistent. Asked .whether he would bear in mind the desirability of asking for compensation from Japan. the foreign secretary replied: ♦ "Yes, sir.” Eden's statement bore out earlier reports that Britain and the United States plan to proceed along lite same lines, but individually and nit in concert. i—o UNITED STATES i unofficial Information indicated 1 about six persons unaccounted for I in the destruction of the U.
