Florey gave him a playful poke. Tamiroff jumped nervously. "What's the matter, Akim?” asked Florey. "I didn't know you were ticklish.” "I'm not,” snapped • Tamiroff, “but Napoleon was." A lot has been written about Spencer Tracy's objections to "I Take This Woman." but nobody has asked Tracy. Here is his own version, given me on the “Stanley and Livingstone” set. "I never liked the story,” he said, “and I didn’t want to make the picture. But they told me I was wrong, so I went ahead. "Now, I understand they are try ing to write me out of the new version and I hope they are. However, if I’m told to finish the picture, I II have to do it.” Spencer says there’s not a word of truth to the rumors that he didn't want to work with Hedy Lamarr. “I’d like to make some other story with her,” he said. "In fact, I think it might be a good combination." Allan Curtis and his manager, Bob Loewy, are back in town after a harrowing experience in a sandstorm near Indio. The top of Curtis’ car was riddled, all the paint was ground off and the engine was clogged with rand.

SCHOOL MORALS MAY BE PROBED Death Os Young Couple Causes Furor In Joliet Circles Joliet, 111.. Mar. L—<U.R>—Circuit Judge Edwin Wilson decides today whether he will sponsor an official comity investigation into morals of Joliet high school students a question which hud townspeople und officials split into two factions. The Invest Igat ion was demanded by County Coroner Londus B. Brannon as the outgrowth of the "lovers’ lane” deaths of William Engimann. 18. and Ruth Virginia Underwood, 16, high school students. Their bodies were found Monday in a parked automobile. The girl was nude. Brannon said preliminary investigation brought "startling revelations" concerning relationships among the 4.000 students of Joliet township high school und junior college. Sheriff James O'Neill and State's Attorney James E. Burke joined school and civic authorities in defending student morals and declined to investigate what they called Brannon's "sketchy evidence." Burke and O'Neill also disagreed with Brannon as to the cause of death of thw two students. Brannon said it was a “clear case of murder and suicide." He said the girl died of strangulation and the boy either from carbon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation. Burke and O'Neill said both deaths were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. Brannon delayed a formal inquest until after funeral services for Engimann today and Miss Underwood tomorrow. The division was along political lines. Burke and O'Neill are newly elected Republicans. Brannon is a holdover Democrat. The coroner said his preliminary investigation, however, had indicated a need for “immediate steps to clean up the moral conditions in the school." “A friend of mine told me that mixed groups of students have been going to a hotel near the school in the afternoons to drink whisky and share rooms," he said. “I heard other stories about student drinking and revelry at roadhouses." Brannon said pockets of the dead youth contained obscene literature and pictures. He said he would ask Judge Wilson to instruct special Prosecutor Charles R. Aiken to make a student morals investigation part of his work with a special grand jury in session. Dr. Marion K. Bowies, president of the high school board, termed Brannon’s charges “slanderous and fabrication." “I've heard rumors now and then," he said, “but they are not supported by fact." Townspeople also were split on the question of whether an investigation was needed. Dale D. Nicholson, former school board member, said: “It does not seem that an investigation is in order." Mrs. Pius Fahrner. president of the Catholic Woman’s League, said she did not believe student moral relations were “bad" but added: "If they are they should be remedied.” SENATE PLANS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) bill would contain a restriction on expenditures. Clark, who offered an amendment to reduce the authorization to 5,500 planes as approved by the house, said “there is nothing in the bill now that would prevent the army from asking for a billion dollars for the air corps." The proposed amendment, which Clark said would be introduced regardless of the senate's treatment of his 5,500 plane proposal, would require all new army plane construction to be completed within three years after congress gives the authority. Report Money Bill Washington. March 1 — <U.R> — The house appropriations committee today reported to the house a $499,857,936 money bill for the war department for the year beginning July 1. It was the largest regular army appropriation clnce the world war. This action initiated another phase of President Roosevelt’s broad national defense program of which an air force expanded to at least 5,500 planes is a key part. The committee recommended immediate expenditure of $50,000,000 mostly for air corps expansion and all of this sum was cash except $19,505,988. This later amount was an authorization to contract for combat planes. The sum allotted for immediate j expenditure, without waiting for the new fiscal year to start, will buy s'l combat planes and 14 photographic planes. With other sums already approved and orders given, that will raise to 1,690 the number of planes to be delivered within 18 months. The army then would have

Throughout its report the committee reiterated that the president will send supplemental estimates to congresH later for more appropriations, thus broadening the program. LABOR LEADERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) first step toward new peace talks, there was no clear indicstion thu: labor unity would result from th, consequences. In his letters to Lewis ind Green, tile president said he was sure that results could be achieved "if the parents come together with open minds and a clear in tention to effect genuine peace and harmony in the labor move ment.” “The American people,” he said, “sincerely hope that a constructive negotiated peace with honor may come about . . within the early months of the new year." But labor's top leaders were not so optimistic. They saw no major change in either AFL or (TO policies since the last peace conference failed in December. 1937. Some felt that a truce - or peace without merge) may be the limit ol achievement. But others believed that even a truce would not l>e reached. Lewis cleared the way L,r the meeting by formally announcing late yesterday his acceptance of the president's request. In addition to himself, Lewis designated CIO vice presidents Philip Murray and Sidney Hillman to meet with the AFL negotiations. The AFL representative will be vice-presi-dents Daniel J. Tobin. Matthew Woll and Harry C. Bates. Each side had definite reservations as they prepared for the conferences. The AFL's were announced formally by Green Saturday. The ClO's were not included in Lewis' 35-woid letter ot acceptance .but they were made plain in the labor peace policy adopted at the ClO's first constitutional convention at Pittsburgh last Novemo HOUSE VOTES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) agencies of the Indiana state government" have come to the attention of members of the general assembly, and adds: “All reasonable means have been used to obtain information relative to and regarding the management and operation of the different departments, but this has not been possible x x x there is a demand throughout the state for a general investigation.” When Evans introduced the resolution, one of his fellow Republicans, Rep.

toy with u prone of this scope, i' Confusion burst foitli In the ranks of both parth-s on a roll • '-all vote. Many Democrats, evidently on a signal from Rep. Ed wind Stein, Detnociutic fluor lead*.ei, changed their Votes to keep ! the resolution alive instead of killing It. Funderburg then cluoig•■d his mind and voted against bls owe resolution Finally , with Democratic support, the motion to • kill the resolution was defeated ' 49 to 44 Speaker Knapp then took a voice vote on the adoption of the ! resolution and there were only a couple ol mild "miea" from the floor. In support of his resolution Evans said that the people would like to know what was going on in the state government, and it there is nothing wrong no one would be hurt by an investigation. "I think it's a very good resoi lution," remarked Stein. “But what is the treasurer (of the committee) supposed to do. You t didn't make any appropriation.” "If we happen to get any , money we will need a treasurer.” Evans replied. indicating that persons interested in the inquiry ’ will provide it. i “We have repeatedly said." asserted Stein. "that we are a I fairly honest party and will welcome any investigation. So we > will go along with you.” The state budget bill committee f reported out the $83,000,000 appropriations bill and the house I will consider it while sitting as a r • committee of the whole at 2 p. tn i tomorrow. , The house refused to concur in the senate amendment to a house ,■ bill repealing the state truck tax law and this goes to the commit- - tee. The senate amendment ■ would make the state automobile - license fee a flat one dollar and would increase the gasoline tax 1 from four to five cents. After more than an hour of dei bate, the senate defeated 24 to 18, t a bill which would have set up a state insurance fund for work ■ men's compensation. Advocates ot the bill said it would make insurance cheaper foi the smaller employer and they said that there was an insurance monopoly in Indiana. < Four measures designated to - eliminate persecution of motor--1 ists by north central Indiana officers were passed by the house ? today and sent to the senate. i The bills would: require a jus- - tice of the peace to issue an - itemized receipts of fines paid s listing officer, tine and cost; out--3 law speed traps and provide that ? arresting officers must use automobile of color designated by » state; require magistrates to give ■ name, address and auto number - and license number of person arr rested for traffic violations; pro- ’ hibit two or more officers from ■ i conspiring to make arrests to de- ) rive personal benefit.
