Jack Benny will keep Rochester a little better in hand when the two work together on the screen in "Man About Town.” Benny says that hours were spent discussing reactions.

COL. LINDBER6H IS DENOUNCED Soviet Newspaper Denounces Lindbergh As Fascist Agent Moscow, Jan. 16 — (U.R) — The English language edition of the “Communist Internationale.” organ of the Comintern, today de-, nounc?d Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is a ‘‘reactionary Fascist agent of ; Hitler and Chamberlain." In a two-page article captioned: "Lindl ergh. Father and Son," the otgan said: "It is fortunate for Lindbergh's father that he did not , i live to see his son’s betrayal of the democratic ideals for which he himself fought and made sacrifices. “The father fought the bankers and finance lords . . . the son married into the House of Morgan and is used lor window-dressing; the uns rupulous money rackets by which the American people are . rbbbed. The elder Lindbergh was 1 a man of the people of Lincoln's , type who if he were living today j would certainly be a staunch, friend of the Soviet Union. Lind-' bergh junior has become Hitler's public agent and carries out jobs . of provocation tn the interests of Fascist Germany. “Lindbergh applied for a Soviet | tourist’ visa. As an American : citizen and a well known flier, his ' request was met with great po-; iiteness. After his return to Lon- I don, Lindbergh made a speech at i Lady Astor’s in which he said that Soviet aviation was in a ‘chaotic' I state. The Soviet press plainly stated that Lindbergh’s flight to the Soviet Union was Inspired by the Chamberlain circle, who wanted to use Lindbergh's ‘authority’ in order to belittle the air force of the Soviet Union and to undermine the confidence of Czechoslovakia and France in the military strength of the U.B.S.R That statement can only arouse derisive laughter. '“Shortly afterward Lindbergh flew to Berlin where Goering pinned a decoration on his breast. And so Hitler's lackey received the award he deserved. •‘Lindbergh junior used his reputation to help the rich against the poor. He is in the seryice of the Fascist war mongers. He stands at the side of the Fascist dictatorships against the forces of peace and democracy.” I when he marched one way while the rest of the band marched tho other. The “wrong way” marcher evidently became more interested in his music than in the formation the band was forming, the leader, said
