Before opening official conversations with Rome, he added, “we must make further progress with the Spanish problem." Withdrawal of troops from Spain should be begun in earnest before the opening of conversations with | Rome, he argued. Previous conversations with Italy ' failed, Eden said, because of the Spanish problem. "Almost simultaneously with the signature of the Anglo-Italian agreements last year,” he continued, “the first considered consignment of Italians left for Spain. If that was not a breach of the letter of the understanding, it at least ran counter to its spirit.” "In the light of the present international circumstances," Eden deI dared, "this is the moment for ' England to stand firm and not i plange into negotiations unprei pared with the full knowledge that the chief obstacle to their success has not been resolved." o * TODAY'S COMMON ERROR - * | Never pronounce balm — bam; say, bahm.

YOUNG BANDIT I UNDER ARREST Young Indiana Desperado Is Captured At Baltimore Indianapolis, Feb. 21 (U.R) — la'onard C. Jackson, youthful Indiana desperado sought by police of three states on charges ranging from bank robbery to murder, was held in Baltimore, Md, today by federal bureau of investigation agents. He was arrested by FBI agents yesterday. He is under indictment with Ray Duvall for the murder of i Clayton Potts. 74. treasurer of the C. and G. Potts Machinist company in Indianapolis last March 23. Duvall Is still at large. Capture of Jackson was announced in Washington by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI The two men also are accused of holding Oliver Storer, millionaire Muncie hanker, and his wife ! prisoners in their home last Sept I 9 until a cashier could deliver. *2.000 cash to them The bandits ■ threatened the Storers with torture I or death if the money was not paid. | The 68-year-old banker and his | wife were bound with wire and' their eyes and mouths closed with, adhesive tape. Potts was wounded fatally during i a *2,300 payroll robbery in the company office. Potts was seated at his desk 1 when a lone gunman entered and announced a "stickup.” The ban-1 dit then fired two shots at the 74-year-old official, one striking him in the right arm and the other in j the abdomen. After taking the money, the gunman joined a confederate in a waiting automobile. ; The two men also are wanted in : Ohio on a warrant charging them with shooting with intent to kill state highway patrolman Carl Whipple near New Vienna, 0., last ( Dec. 17. Jackson and Duvall, together i with Amos Eugene Ward, are | charged with the *39.000 holdup of the First National Bank of South! Charleston. W. Va.. a month ago. Hoover said Ward subsequently . was captured and confessed to the ' crime, he said. The FBI head disclosed that both Jackson and Duvall were hiding out in Washington last month and i that Jackson later went to Balti more after registering an automobile under an assumed name in the District of Columbia. Hoover said that Jackson, possessed two revolvers, a large knife ' and *425, together with a large amount of ammunition when cap-' tured. Details of his arrest were not disclosed. o GREAT BRITAIN MAY (CON'iINUED FKOM PAGE ONE) announced further political activities soon. i Austria and Czechoclovakia were the countries referred to when Hitler spoke of “t-he defense of the political freedom of race conscious Germans living beyond the frontiers of the Reich.” It was said here that Hitler referred only to the 6,500,000 people of Austria and the 3,500,006 Germanes in the post-war Republic of Czechoslovakia. It was emphasized that he meant only Germans in those two bordering not the Germans living in the South Tyrol, 250,000 of them, and in the port of Trieste, taken from Austria and given to Italy after the war. Trieste gave 'Austria — and any ally of Austria -an outlet on the Adriatic sea and thue to the Mediter-

. l anean. I < Hitler began his historic speech | 1 ' with a long review of domestic affairs from the time of the Nazi ac- ; | : cession to ,power. He laughed at re- 1 1 ports of disunity; he emphasized Germany's growing power. "Every individual, every institution in Germany is national socialist . everyone is determined to defend I and protect national socialism to ; the last breath. i “1 assure the world of the deep sincere love of peace of the German people. But this love of peace has i nothing to do with weak denunciai tion and cowardice. Those who ibe- ' lieve they can attack us with impunity will find an iron resistance | and the German people unified. "There la no doubt I am tne auth-1 . orized leader of the Reich.". Turning to the foreign field he | demanded colonies —“ I say once for ' all we are unwilling to accept cred-: its or other promises in place of , 1 colonies.” He said that Germany had no : teritorial claims against France and i he added that he had no differences ! with Britain except as regards col-j ■onles then he added: “The only factor poisoning rela-. tions is the unbelieveable press l . campaign.'' He criticized the league of nations. -Since Italy's withdrawal, he said. Germany no longer thought of ever returning to it —“A body which ! failed to recognize obvious facts and buried its head in the sand. INDIANA PAYS i (CONTINUED t'"-' PAGE ONE) i resign as Philippine commissioner about August 1 to return to the United States and map his presidential campaign. McNutt will leave from Indian-1 apolis shortly after midight tonight for Washington where he is to be the guest of V. S. Senator Sherman Minton at a huge reception believed to be introductory to his 1940 campaign. He will be greeted there by Governor M. Clifford Townsend and a large group of Indiana Democratic leaders who are leaving for Washington today to attend the reception. Today McNutt is the guest of Paul Felt ns. Bloomington publish-

er and a member of the university board of trustees. Yesterday McNutt spent with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John McNut.t at the family home in Martinsville. He made a morning broadcast over the station WIRE discussing education in which he said that “the preservation of democracy lies in education.' “Certainly," McNutt said as he was interviewed by Dean Bernard Gavit of the Indiana University law school. “An informed and reasoned opinion is better than its opposite and a superior culture is to be desired over an inferior one'. Saturday night McNutt addressed over 2,000 persons at the annual mid-winter banquet of the lu- ’ diaa Democratic Editorial Asso- | ciation in a tremendous rally of I Indiana democracy which gave Me- [ Nutt's visit to the United States | —and his presidential boomlet —a colorful sendoff. Departing from his prepared ad- | dress McNutt asserted that the , United States should not abandon 1 the Philippine Islands as now plan- ! tied. “If America were to withdraw I from the Orient the balance of

Somehow or other Litel lost ils balance and fell into the tank, rhe water was only waist deep, so le was in no danger, but he was embarrassed to discover that it was impossible to climb up the slick sides. He yelled for help but was too far away from the house to be heard. No telling how long he would have been there if a Warner Brothers assistant director hadn’t telephoned to know why he was late on the "I.ady Luck” set. Servants then started a search and located their hapless master, who, by this time, was wet as a tadpole and twice as fidgety. Some of the extras arc doing a burn about the chapter Upton Sinclair devoted to them in “Mammonart”. Particularly the insinuations about their incomes. Plan is afoot to make a reply and an R-K-O writer has promised to whip it together if his name is not used Impersonating a star may get a Hollywood job for Jean Prescott i of Boise, Id. Young lady wrote a confession to Dorothy Lamour that, on a recent trip to the cinema city, she was mistaken for the actress and. rather than disappoint the fan, had signed Dorothy’s name in an autograph book. Letter made such a good impression on the star that she has replied, asking the Idaho girl to send pictures of herself. If there really is a resemblance and if Jean Prescott wants to return to Hollywood, Dorothy Will try to get her a job as standin in the next Lamour picture. At the “Tom Sawyer” preview, David Sclznick showed Hollywood how to get stars to turn out for these events.

ute and still be sure of seeing the picture. The following night, Sam Goldwyn previewed “The Adventures of Marco Polo” and sent almost no invitations to stars. ’ Result, very few showed up. Opinions differ as to whether ‘ Tommy Kelly is an ideal Tom Sawj’er. but all agree he is a fine ' little actor. For my money, Ann Gillis, as Becky Thatcher, gave the 1 best performance. Prediction: that the picture will be more enjoyed by adults than children. Scene in the cave where Injun Joe pursues Tom is just as nightmarish as any- ' thing Disney was criticized for in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". "The Adventures of Marco Polo” ■ is a curious combination of straight melodrama and an effort to get the “Road to Rome” humorous slant on important personages. Robert Sherwood supplied the touch but not so successfully as in his comedy. In Sigurd Gurie, who plays the Oriental princess. Mr. Goldwyn seems to have hit upon another feminine discovery. She is a better actress than Zorina, but I don't believe she has the same screen possibilities as the ballet dancer. Maurice Chevalier writes Maureen O'Sullivan that he'll make two English pictures with Jack Buchanan before visiting America. . . . Louis Hayward has bought four flats in the Wilshire district.
