dent. Dolores came to the studio the other day without any money. She calk'd her maid to bring her purse and, when the maid showed up, John, Jr., was with her. Beauties on the Warner lot are buszing with indignation. Style Designer Orry-Kelly wants to make them wear corsets and they are determined not to. Both sides 3 are planning to tell their story to Jack Warner. All of which is another tempest in a teapot, except that the return of corsets to Hollywood might spread to other parts of the coup try. Designer Orry-Kelly got the idea after seeing how neat Bette Davis, Anita Louise and Jane Bryan look in their costumes for “The Sisters". At the La Conga, a young man with a Stokowski mop of hair, did a tap dance routine that had the ringsiders cheering. He was introduced as Bronson Dudley, but few of the celebs knew that he is the son of Bide Dudley and the brother of Doris Dudley, lately of thegfllms. The La Conga, on Tuesday nights when the rumba club meets, Is one of the sights of the town. Towards 1 a. m., the dancers usually go into jam sessions. Dignity flies to the winds. In a secluded nook, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Roland Young watched the ■jfctgs-on. Marjorie Weaver and Bill Davis were among the dancers, so were Bill Haines and the Buster Colliers. Alyce Mills Davey, lately seen about with William Powell, was squired by Harvey Priester and Sid Rogell. Paul Lukas and Walter Pidgeon were stags. — y Anybody want to buy five Mexican ring bulls?

The governor asserted that sentiment among the members of the legislature seems to favor limiting action of the special session only to the appropriation bill. Previously it had been suggested that the legislature, if it started a session, might go and change laws which have become campaign issues, such as the “windshield gadget” law and the port-of-entry liquor law provisions, both of

MORE RAINFALL (CONTINUED FH<MC PAGE ONE) that hour. The weatherman has forecast partly cloudy and somewhat warmer weather for Saturday, leading many to believe that the rainy season is still prevalent. o GOV. TOWNSEND (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) replied: “I have heard that some local candidates feel that Van Nuys should be renominated. But I don’t know how widespread this sentiment is.” Two newspapermen then told the governor that the Van Nuys sentiment in their opinion was very widespread. The governor listened Intently, but failed to comment further. He merely smiled and said: “Well, it won’t be long now,” referring to the convention and the selection of the Democratic senatorial nominee. The United Press has been informed that Townsend is being urged by some of his advisors to forget about his battle with Van Nuys, brought into the open when the governor virtually read Van I Nuys out of the party to his face at French Lick last August in a sensational speech. They argue as follows: 1. Van Nuys has been a Roosevelt supporter on almost every major issue except supreme court reform and thus is not a reactionary toward social progress. 2. He is known as a conservative. There his presence on the ticket would hold many Democratic votes in line which probably would gallop to the republicans on the principal issues of recession, federal fiscal policies and business reforms.

3. Van Nuys has been given a huge build up by some Republican newspapers and party leaders. So if the Democrats nominated him. they have a record of many laudatory statements about Senator Van Nuys from the opposition. 4. Nomination of Van Nuys would call off a three-cornered senatorial contest in Indiana in an “off-year" election with its normal uncertainties when no presidential candidate heads the ticket to naturally solidify the party. 5. The risk of losing Indiana to the Republicans in the 1938 election would be materially reduced, and the Hoosier Democrats united tor the possible 1940 presidential campaign of Paul V. McNutt, former governor and now Philippine island commissioner. Also it is quite well-known that Lieut.-Gov. Henry -F. Scnricker, who is considered the current which were condemned in the 1938 Republican platform. A special legislative committee, however, has canvassed the Democratic assemblymen and has reported that they are willing to adjourn without straying to matters other than the appropriation bill.

statehouse choice to succeed Van i Nuys, does not want to make the senate race and would be really | delighted to pass up the nomination to Van Nuys or anyone else. He want* to be governor in 1940. Townsend probably will make up his mind next week after he has received a final check on sentiment of the convention delegates and party leaders. If the governor is convinced that the party can win the 1938 election without Van Nuys and despite his third party candidacy, Townsend may go ahead and eliminate him. But if he is sold on the idea that for the good of the party he | should forget the past and accept Van Nuys, he may do so, healing a 1 serious Democratic split. 0 FIND BODY OF 1 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) how McCormick, if it is McCormick's body, met death or how it happened that his body was a mile from the place where Whitmer, the more experienced climber of the two, had fallen to his death. There was no information on how ■ long the body had lain on the i canon ledge. Perce remained with his Indians at a remote camp in the mountains, and there was’no staement from him. Mrs. Simms, who stayed in the mountains almost continuously the first days of the search, was at her home last night, worn out with the j strain of the hunt and the uncertainty of the fate of her son. With her when the news came from Pooler were her second husband, Albert Simms, an attorney, and her daughter, Mrs. Courtland Barnes, Jr., of New York CAy. Young McCormick's father was the late Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois. Yesterday's search had centered hi the canon Del Agua territory because it was there that Patrolman William Murphy of Albuquerque and Dick Montoya of Bernalillo had seen a man Tuesday who j hailed them from across a deep canon. They were too distant to,

I identify him. Later a shot was fired at them. Previously the sheer 3,000-foot face of rock that forms the west shield of Sandia peak had been checked und rechecked by niouii-. tain climbers until they were positive that McCormick had not died in the same fall with Whitmer. The theory was advanced that McCormick may have seen his friend fall and suffered such an emotional shock that he wandered through the mountain range in a dazed condition. One experienced climber explained that the physical and mental strain when a 1 climber gets Into a tight stretch :is very great. The sight of Whitmer falling 200 feet down the j mountain-side until his body crash--led agaist the ledge might have i been enough to cause a terrific mental upset in McCormick, he said. McCormick and Whitmer had been friends several years. Both were of wealthy Albuquerque families. They attended an exclusive boys school near Colorado Springs and there developed their love for | the hazardous sport of mountain climbing. During summer vaca-i tions they worked out on the peaks in this area. Recetly they had scaled two mountains and June 22 they decid- : 'ed to scale Sandia peak as a I “warmup” for a try at the more difficult north Truchas peak. They drove to the base of Sadia peak l in McCormick's car, changes to j tennis shoes and started. Their footprints led to the foot of the great cliff and that was the last trace of McCormick.
