Universal City, which had an actor-mayor long before Beverly I Hills and the rest, is coming to life and will take advantage of the publicity that it started. The studio club will choose Universal's I first mayor since Herbert Rawlinson. In 1923 Herb succeeded the studio’s first mayor, J. Warren Kerrigan, who took the job in 1915. It happened the other night at a Hollywood party. Mrs. Ray Mil- ! land was displaying a new slave | bracelet she had received from Ray. Written in gold on the bracei let was: “I Married an Angel.” Whereupon, Mrs. Bob Hope wisecracked: “I don't see why Bob can't do something nice like that. . . . Only, if he did, he’d probably put; “Let's Change Partners.” Official of the courthouse at Yuma sends Alice Faye a picture post-card of the spot where she and Tony Martin stood to be married. Since then, he writes, more than 50 couples have asked to stand in that exact place to take their vows. The Scnja Henie skating troupe broke up after the New York engagement, but the star will be on the Normandie for a three-week tour of South America.

BATTLE FLARES (CONTINUED FROM FADE ON*. i J<ct Let'* go ikurf with whnt j we have before us.” “Do you think the Nicholson law Is better than the Republican bill we have before us?" Wolf j asked Evans “1 have always been for the Nic-hnlaou law and more home [control,” Evans said. The voice vote then was taken defeating Wolf's committee plan. But here was revealed a Republican split which may becotnp wider over the liquor issue. The liquor bill pending lu the house was drawn by the Republican state committee, eliminates the beer Importer system, and embodies the generul principles advocated by the O. O. P. 1938 state platform. Yet Evans, the party's house floor leader, today entered a proposal to re-enact thp Nicholson law which was the measure under which the liquor traffic was controlled in Indiana before prohibition over 20 years ago. This divergence of opinion umong house Republicans will be spotlighted possibly this week when the Republican liquor bill comes out for amendment on second reading and probably will produce some of the most fierce argument of the sessiou. LARGER FUNDS i FOR AVIATION House Committee Increases Fund For Aviation Research Washington, Feb. 6.—(U.R) —The house appropriations committee today voted larger funds for aviation research to make possible development of fighting planes equal to types under intensive development by certain foreign pow ers. Impressed by testimoney that an unidentified foreign power has developed “the fastest military plane in history”—capable of 420 , miles an hour—and reports of in- | tensive airplane production in EurI ope, the committee recommended increased appropriations for the j ! civil aeronautics authority and the national advisory committee on , aeronautics. The advisory committee is the 1 lending aviation experimenting agency. Its director believed it would be possible to develop planes that could fly 500 miles an hour. He did not reveal the maximum speed of present U. S. planes. The larger funds were provided in the independent offices appropriation bill, which was reported favorably to the house. The bill carried 31.898,512,769 for numerous federal agencies for the 1940 fiscal year. It provided the CAA with $21,218,000, an increase of $6,510,065 over the 1939 fiscal year, and the advisory committee on aeronautics with $2,180,000, an increase of $480,000. The record of the committee's hearings, published simultaneously with the draft of the bill, disclosed that Dr. George V. Lewis, director of research for the advisory committee on aeronautics, told the committee that Germany now is equipped to produce between 600 and 800 planes a month. “That is a tremendous production and all of the major European powers have greatly increased their research facilities and personnel,” Lewis said.
