jS B ' HARRISON carkoi I Copyright, 1938 King Features Syndicate, Inc. ■ HOLLYWOOD—The passmg of John V. A. Weaver was

doubly tragic. Weaver was the man who wrote the screen version of “T h e Adventures o f Tom Sawyer” It was a great script, Weaver's first real break i n Hollywood, but the casting of the picture dragged* out for months and the author was

■ taken with his Mata! illness before the film was ■wmpleted. ■ On the night of the preview last ■hbruary, Weaver wired David O. •elznick, from Colorado Springs: ■"Please reserve space for my heart ■tmong all you tonight.” ■ The picture was a hit, the script ■ *'as hailed as masterly. I Many wires of congratulation pent to Weaver, lying desperately ■ill in a sanitarium. Producer Selz■tiek was determined that the ■author should see the picture. He ■made arrangements for a special ■ showing in a Colorado Springs ■ theater, fixed it so that Weaver |®uld be transported there in an I ambulance. But doctors wired the I ! *ck man could not be moved. I Weaver then wrote asking if the I Picture couldn't be projected on the I ceiling of his hospital room. I Again Selznick made arrangeIments, again the doctor interfered. I The shock would be too great, he said. And now Weaver is dead —with°ut ever seeing the picture that *°uld have brought him fame and fortune in Hollywood. Napoleon 111 was a fiend for medals— used to wear 23 of them across his chest. Hut when Actor Leon Ames Nays the emperor in "Suez , he *lll wear only three medals. Movie makers were afraid the audience would laugh at 23. Merle Oberon gets a four-figure check each week from the movies, besides what she can pick up on lhe radio. You'd think she would “e sitting pretty. But not accord‘n? to what Merle told me on "The Ija(i y and the Cowboy” set at Gold*yn's. . The star already has spent M 2,000 in England trying to collect damages from an auto acci“ent, and now she has to sue again. , This is just a small item. Due ° the way her contracts overlap, Merle has to pay income tax m

So she finishes up with about one-fifth of what she earns. Joan Davis' back injury is much more serious than her friends know. She tried to hoist Buddy Ebsen on her shoulders and tore a number of muscles loose. They brought her home from the hospital, but it may be a long time before she can go through the comedy routines for "My Lucky Star”. Now that he's reduced 45 pounds, Jack Oakie is a bug on the subject, wants to take three more inches off his waistline. First move is to build a gym.fsium onto his house.

Flvnn has been training him as a protector and, when Bette Davis had to make a pass at Errol in a scene, the dog lunged at her. bit her leg and chased Bette up on a chair.

CLOSE BATTLE IN CONVENTION Fierce Fight Foreseen For G. O. P. Senatorial Nomination Indianapolis, June 24 — <U.R) — | Existence of a large group of tin-1 Instructed and uncommitted dele-, gates among the 1.76 b who will compose the Republican state cmi 1 vention next week Indicates a, pitched Itattlo on the convention , floor for jhe u. s. senatorial nomination, it was believed here today Thus In addition to the diverg ence of opinion over recessing the convention, nominating Democratic Senator Frederick Van Nuys and other matters, it appears that there will Im a lively contest among the senatorial candidates to corral those delegates which So'far have remained silent. Tile case of LaPorte county might be considered as typical of numerous county delegations which do not have a home citizen us a candidate or are not affiliated with a specific candidate by geographical or other ties. In a recent survey of the LaPorte county delegation of 30, the l.aPorte Herald-Argus reported that the bulk of the members were uncommitted Some, the HeralilArgus said, favor Oliver Starr of Gary for the senatorial nomination, some are behind Raymond Willis, Angola editor, and possibly a few for former senator James E. Watson But the HerMd-Argus said the LaPorte county delegation largely was clear of entanglements and Inferentially could consider the field before throwing its support to any candidate. This assertion represents the

Therefore, h appears wholly probable thui while the various candidates are maneuvering for support among these uncommitted 1 delegates, there will be also a move ' on foot to Interest them in recessI Ing the convention until u later , date. Leaders in this movement have] i been concentrated In four counties, 1 Porter, Allen. Tlppeinnoe and Starke, whose delegates have com--1 milted theinae'ves to Hie recessing I plan. Walter F. Bossert former Ku Klux Klan lender, today became ; the first candidate to speak out | openly against the recess proposal. He released a statement expressing his "unalterable” opposition to delaying convention action. Seeks Nomination 'l Indianapolis, June 24 (U.R) II Louis R. Markun. 38.

view of the world picture on which Chamberlain Is keeping his eye and which hits prompted him to stand tip against bitter ntincks by purllnmentary opimsltfonists Hint, he has noted "splnelessly" in protecting British shipping from Spanish rebel bombers and that his broad program will only lead lo it catastrophic collapse In the end. David Lloyd George, war-time premier, and Clement Attlee, labor lender, have led the most vigorous at tucks on the prime minister, vainly demanding thut Britain fight back with guns and bombs against the Franco pianos and the Franco uir liases on the Balearic Islanils. To Atliee's charge thut lie wanted i to help Franco win and to salvos ot jeers from the opposition lienehes. Chamberlain firmly replied Hint such action probably would mean a general war anil thut he hud no Intention of risking it. In a general way, the attacks on Chamberlain are principally influenced by home politics and In reply he and his ministers have frequentI ly resorted to hints or suggest ions : of United States cooperation. This, 1 too. is a political maneuver to aid Chamberlain at home and without any basis for belief that American policy is undergoing any important change. — -o — 2 ASSISTANTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE Ob'S) lieen experienced In other states that the number of fiersons requir- , ing help between the ages of 65 to 7o is equivelant to approximately | 60 per cent of the numiber qualifying over tlte age of 70.'1f these fig- , tires were true in this eoill.ty. the number would lie increased by 60 per cent.
