The pic- ' '] tur e, "W hat Price Glory," made over a 1 llec ade ago. has had a conseeulive run of over | 250 n ‘ Khtß th ‘ s K year among the B ' loyalist forces. Lowe has this l»r’.

A former projectionist has been assigned to exhibit it regularly. TJie film has been spliced a thousand times because of breakage. It is now so ragged that almost entire reels have been cut from it. I personally know men who have seen it 25 and 30 times.” Anybody’else hear of pictures being adopted by soldiers on Spanish or other fronts? It’s an interesting subject. The police are trying to link the ' burglary at Sonja Henle’s place I with a car theft at Rita Hay- | 1 worth’s, about a block away. , Someone broke into the actress' , garage and stole both of her cars. One was found abandoned within ! a short distance of the house. Letters are pouring in to this desk about the death house scene in "Angels With Dirty Faces.” Did James Cagney really turn yellow, the fans want to know, or did he merely pretend to, so as not to die a hero in the eyes of the slum boys? Well, all we can say is that the synopsis of the picture, handed out at the preview, clearly indicated 1 that Cagney’s hysterical outburst was a gesture—an heroic one. i , This year will see new box-of-fice favorites installed. Jeanette MacDonald’s star will rise brightly, especially in the foreign mar- ’ ket. A recent poH shows that Jeanette is the first star to top Garbo’s popularity in Hungary. She is supposed to rate No. 1 in Italy and Australia and to be second to Shirley Temple in England. Arthur Treacher, I take it, r hould feel proud. The Butlers' !

The snake, he . said, was very much alive when he noticed it, despite the cold. The snake was found in the rear of his norne near the railroad. Kathryn Schroyer daughter ot .

Expresses Hope Os Seaway Washington, Dec. 9. — <U.R)I — President Roosevelt today expressed hope of an early agreement between the United States and Can- • ada on the development of the ' Great Lakes-St. Lawrence seaway and power project. He so advised a delegation of the national seaway council which presented a letter expressing approval of the president’s plans to develop the waterway. o ROOSEVELT TO (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) on the secret police and spies of other nations. The chief executive outlined his plans in a discussion of syp sltua- - tion. He announced that Lamar Hardy, U. S. district attorney for New J erk who has been prosecuting spy cases, has resigned effective in January. Mr. Roosevelt emphasized that the spy situation was by no means | ! cleared up by the ending of the recent trials in New York. He said > that the roots go down pretty deep, j He said this nation needed no ’ ogpu or a secret police to watch ■ the American people but it did need one to watch secret police ot other nations. This, he said, was a

"They never hurt us who have to be serious in the roles you ■ make so entertaining." At Warners, they now call Humphrey Bogart "Iron Man" Bogart. Due to a temporary lapse on the part of the production department, the star was booked for screen fights in two different pictures on the same day. In the morning, Bogart knocked Ronald Reagan out in "Dark Victory.” In < the afternoon, he lost by a knockout in "The Oklahoma Kid” after being thrown over a table by James Cagney.

OFFICIALS HEAR . GOV. TOWNSEND — Expresses Sympathy To Ideas Os Local Government Indianapolis, Dec. 9. <U.P> G°v. M. Clifford Townsend today told the county and township officials association that while he wus sympathetic to the Idea of local government, he will "never hesitate to use the powers of state government to solve local problems when I feel that it is necessary and essential to the general welfare.” The governor spoke at the second day session of the association's annual convention which with other local officials from Indiana's 92 counties are mapping their legislative programs. "I feel sure that it is possible for all units of government to work together without depriving local governments of the first op- ! portunity and responsibility for I solution of local problems," TownI send said. "As the nature of our governmental. social and economic problems has broadened, some controversy has arisen over the division of power of different units of government. “You and I, as representatives of the various units of government in Indiana, must not stand idly by discussing our jurisdictions while people are in need or are without needed services. “So far as I am concerned, my attitude is for local self-govern-ment so far as ft can function effectively within its sphere. However. I shall never hesitate to use the powers of state government to solve local problems when I feel
