LINDBERGHS TO VIEW STRANGE SPOTS ON TRIP Flight Will Take Them to Places Few Travelers Have Seen. BY BERYL MILLER NF.A Service Writer . y When Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh turn the nose of their fleet monoplane westward over the Faciflc they will embark on a tour to strange, out-of-the-way places such as few travelers ever have seen. First to greet the conqueror of the Atlantic and Ills flying wife after they leave the mainland near Alaska wil be the short, swarthy, long-haired hunters and fishermen of the Aleutian islands, the “land bridg$ M linking America and Asia. Ages ago, it is believed, primitive men from far off Asia came across these islands to plant the race that later became the American Indians, Dug Up Ancient Village Here, on Unalaska island, scientists a few years ago found mummies of four Stone Age inhabitants, and dug up an ancient village. r ihe Lindberghs will look down on reindeer, sheep, foxes, fishing boats, hunters, a few vege.afcle gardens, -iiercage, grass and flowers, but virtually no trees. The natives are of the Esquimauan family, but differ greatly frem the Esikmos of the mainland having adopted a more modern style of dress and mode of life. They are plump, with short necks, black eyes and hair. The islands are part of the United States Territory of Alaska. 350-Mile Wafer Jump Leaving the Aleutians, the shortest water jump to the Asiatic mainland Is 350 miles. This would take | the fliers to the Russian peninsula, of Kamchatka,* land of forty vol- 1 canoes, hot springs, many mos-; quitoes and scarcely any roads. The people in Kamchatka are: short, muscular, with narrow eyes. and high cheek bones. Some live in underground houses. Dog sleds provide much of the transportation. Climate is severe in winter and snowdrifts have been seen even in June. Russians, Chinese, Japanese and a few Americans mingle here. At Bering island, off the east coast, are fisheries controlled by Americans. Fur Sealing on Decline Fur sealing is an important industry, but has declined in recent years. One species of salmon provides food, clothes and boots for the natives. The highest active volcano in the old world, Kluchevskaya (16,130 feet) is situated here. Rocks larger than ships were once seen hurled from one of its craters. One river, formed by hot springs, is navigable for two miles. Boats frequently capsize in the maelstrom where the principal river, Kamchatka, meets the sea. Rains are heavy from June to August and coastal fogs are prevalent in this season. Temperature in the southern part rises to about 54 degrees in summer. Tass Over 32 Islands If the Lindberghs decide to fly next to Japan, they will pass over the string of thirty-two Kurile islands, many of which are surrounded by a network of seaweed. Birds abound here. On one island is a mountain around whose base sulphur bubbles up in large quantities, and numerous hot springs are found. There also is a boiling lake. Dense forests are to be seen and bears are numerous. From the Kuriles it is only a short jump to the large islands which make up Japan’s mainland. If the Lindberghs desire to see more of Soviet Russia after reaching the Kamchatka peninsula, they can fly across the Sea of Okhotsk direct to a Chinese or Siberian port, instead of turning southward on a less dangerous flight along the Kuriles. At any rate, they will visit someof the world's least known and scarcely traveled areas. QUAKES ROCK EUROPE English, Clad in Night Clothes, Rush From Homes Into Rain. By United Press LONDON, June B.—Fear of a recurrence of severe earthquakes which shook most of the British isles, part of northern Europe and the Scandinavian peninsula kept in- j habitants uneasy today. The quakes were felt throughout; England and Scotland, chiefly in Yorkshire and the Midlands where the people, clad in night clothes,! rushed from their homes into a j heavy rain when the first shock; occurred early Sunday.

Six Beauties of Talkieland—No. 4

THESE TWO?—O-KAY

Smartness, Beauty — The’re Here

This is the last of four stories on “The Six Most Beautiful Women pf the Talkies,” selected by NEA Service and The Times, by six famous film directors who acted as beauty judges. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, June B.—Charming, brunet Kay Francis, who came out here from the Broadway stage about a year and a half ago to find rival Hollywood talkie producers vying for her services Beautiful JeaneUe MacDonald, with hair like golden sunshine and eyes of starry blue, who is acclaimed as “the best feminine singer in motion pictures’’ These two selections complete “The Six Most Beautiful Women of the Talkies,” chosen for NEA Service and The Times by a special board of beauty judges composed of six of Hollywood's most famous directors. They join Marlene Dietrich, Frances Dee, Dolores Del Rio and Gloria Swanson, previously announced. Made Good in Big Way Kay Francis, born in Oklahoma City, made good in a big way ever since she was lured from the legitimate stage by the huge salary checks film producers often toss about so carelessly. The reason? There is only one Kay Francis. When a role suits her, nobody else can really play it right. Consequently, she is in considerable demand. The demand for her is so great that she was one of the players over whom a war almost broke out among producers. Scores Another Achievement Kay was one of the three players Warner Brothers signed while they still were under contract to Paramount. in direct violation to the so-called gentleman's agreement among studio heads. Miss Francis has scored another achievement —but through no effort of her own. She is the only girl in Hollywood whose name ever has been linked with Ronald Colman’s. Ronnie has a lot of leading women. But even Vilma Banky, who with Colman formed what was considered the screen’s greatest love team, never was linked with him away frqm the studio. Kay Is Distinctive It was different when Kay went over to play opposite him in “Raffles.” All Hollywood was soon predicting that the elusive Colman, always popular but never serious with women, had “fallen.” The two still arc great friends, but talk of a genuine romance has died out. Kay is distinctive. The directors who chose her as one of the six greatest beauties declared her to be smart, chic and bubbling with sex. Her black, wavy hair brushed back over her ears in a boyish bob

adds to her distinctiveness—as do her flashing eyes and her calm and unconcerned mannerisms. She Really Has Both For Jeanette MacDonald, beauty, voice and ability combined to win fame. Prior to the time she made her screen debut in “The Love Parade” with Maurice Chevalier, people had seldom connected fine voices with beauty, but they soon found Jeanette had both. Jeanette’s early career was spent on the legitimate stage after attending a fashionable school for girls near Philadelphia. At the outset she dreamed of entering grand opera. Never once did a film career enter her mind. But now thoughts of grand opera have been forgotten. “It’s too much work,” Jeanette told me one day when we were discussing grand opera. “That kind of singing requires years of intensive study and is a continual grind. I prefer motion pictures and the home life they permit.” Home Life Important Home life is very important to Jeanette right now’. She is about to marry Robert Ritchee, her business manager. Jeanette's ambition is to make a picture in which she doesn’t sing a note. “I am afraid the public is beginning to think the only way I can get by in pictures is on the strength of my voice,’ ’she declares. “I w r ant to prove that I also can act —just as well as I can sing. I'm convinced of it myself but I still have to prove it to others.” (The End) TRIES NEW WORK PLAN % Furniture Manufacturer Shortens Week to 5 Days; Raises Wage. By Scripps-H award Newspaper Alliance MINNEAPOLIS, Jfine B.—Putting into effect a plan which he believes would solve the nation’s unemployment problem, if practiced generally, Joseph W. ( Grossman, president of the Reliable Parlor Furniture Company here, just has signed anew contract under which his employes will work five days a week and will receive a 10 per cent wage increase to compensate in part for the loss of a day’s pay. The plan is to be tried out for one year, and if it proves satisfactory to employers and employes alike, it will be retained.

LAKE COUNTY SALARIES BILL FACES ATTACK Constitutionality Likely to Be Challenged After Ogden Opinion. Constitutionality of the Lake county officials’ salary bill enacted by the 1931 Indiana legislature,! faces almost certain attack if the state follows an opinion given today by Attorney-General James M. Ogden to Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner for the state accounts board. The attorney-general advised Onon a move that would slice the Lake j county prosecutor's income from, about $150,000 to SIO,OOO annually, l six months before another law applying to all prosecutors in the state, j would go into effect. The legislature last winter regulated all prosecutors’ salaries, according to W’ork done, and reduced that of the Lake county officer to SIO,OOO. It would become effective Jan. 1, 1932. Another bill, which fixed salaries for all Lake county officers and also named a SIO,OOO stipend for the prosecutor, would become effective July 1, this year. It w-as to enforce the salary cut under this measure that Orr was j advised in a lengthy opinion today.; Suits already have been prepared, it is understood, attacking the latter bill on grounds that the legislature cannot change salaries of county Officials during incumbency. NAVY PRUNING LIGHT Ten Million-Dollar Cut Is Pledge to Hoover. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 8. —Navy Admirals were back in Washington today well satisfied with their Rapidan week-end. They succeeded in covering President Herbert Hoover that the navy could not reduce its budget materially without interfering with the administration’s policy of aiding employment. , They went to Camp Saturday fearing Mr. Hoover might demand drastic cuts in their $350,000,000 allotment for the next fiscal year. They returned reassured that no navy yards or training stations would be abandoned, lest men be forced out of work. They left behind them a tentative pledge of $10,000,000 in minor economies this year, and possibly $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 more next year. These economies were suggested by the admirals themselves, more as a matter of efficiency than economy. OIL MADE INTO RUBBER: SOVIET GUARDS SECRET Mysterious Process Is Used in Russian Government Factories. By United Press MOSCOW, June B.—The Soviet government is guarding jealousy the vital secret of how its factories hope to manufacture rubber from oil on a commercial scale. A short item in the Moscow Izvestia reported that the Leningrad rubber trust factory had produced more than half a ton of commercial rubber from oil through a mysterious process. It also was stated thqt this batch of rubber was sent to the Red Triangle factory for the manufacture of various rubber goods. Efforts to manufacture synthetic rubber from oil were begun in 1918. Soviet laboratories have been engaged busily on a solution of this problem for the last thirteen years.

BY BEX STERN THAT party which offers the best solution for the tax problem —that is, best in the estimation of the leaders of the Indiana farm bureau—will be accorded the support of the more than 50,000 members of that group in the 1932 election. Taxation will be made the paramount issue in next year’s campaign in Indiana, if the farm bureau heads have their way. A challenge to this effect was issued soon after the legislature closed by Lewis Taylor, vice-presi-dent and director of the bureau’s tax and legislative departments. a a a “If the farmers are to be heard they must begin without delay to prepare to share in control of the conventions. This they can not do with money. “The industrial captains have seen to that by imposing their own taxes cn us and retaining ‘blood’ money, thus saved, to control state conventions. “Our plan is easier and more simple,” declared Taylor. “To win in this fight we must proceed at once to share in the control of the pclitical set-up from precinct committeemen to state chairmen of both parties. “If in this fight for tax freedom, it is necessary to soil political hands and clothes in the process of applying dope to industrial bloodsuckers, savings not only in money, but in political self-respect and economical government, should provide adequately for the laundry bill. “To this end. our organization now should apply itself.” a a a Back of Taylor's and the farm bureau heads’ ire is the manner in which the corporate and income tax bills were slaughtered in the senate, after having been passed by the Democratic house. The farmers feel that they not only have been double-crossed, but that their intelligence has been belittled by the play acting among the so-called farmer legislators. The organized agriculturists are plainly and evidently out for revenge and if past performances of the bureau are a tokeri, woe betide the scalps of those they deem enemies. “Smart politics” in 1932 evidently means tax reform pledges faithfully carried out. 1 - CHINA MUST STAMP OUT REDS, LEADER ASSERTS Communism Most Vital Problem, Is View of General Chiang. By United, Press NANKING, China, June B.—Suppression of Communism is the most vital problem facing China, General Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the national government at Nanking, said today. “Our main duty at present,” General Chiang said in the first interview he has granted in two years, “is the suppression of Communism. Seme progress is being made, but not as much as is desirable. The Communists, however, eventually will be suppressed.” “The Soviet attitude is well known,” he said. “China’s attitude toward Moscow is much the same as that of the United States.” Dr. Shullenberger to Conclave The Rev. William A. Shullenberger, pastor of the Central Christian church, will be the principal speaker at the lowa state convention of the Disciples of Christ, which opens today in Des Moines.

3 PROMOTERS DENY GUILT IN 'RACKET' CASE Enter Pleas to Charges of False Pretense in Ad Solicitation. Three promoters of the Indiana Business Men’s Association, Inc., alleged to have represented they had power with county courts, in criminal court today, entered not guilty pleas to charges of conspiracy to commit a felony and obtaining money under false pretenses. Selden Blumenfeld, attorney and general counsel for the association. and Arthur Freyer and Charles Johnson were arraigned. Police are seeking five other members of the outfit. Blumenfeld asked for a jury trial, date of which will be set later by Judge Frank P. Baker. Winkler Too Hasty The storm over assertions of Henry Winkler, counsel for Blumenfeld, that his client told him he had been informed his bond would be reduced “if I had a certain attorney,” passed more or less quietly. Baker demanded Winkler give the name of the attorney supposed to have the bond-reducing power. Winkler told Baker that he “probably was a little hasty to repeat confidential information given me by my client.” Name Not Revealed Although Baker told Winkler and Blumenfeld he would not tolerate inferences of influence in his court, the name of the “certain attorney” was not revealed. Winkler made the charge during a superior court two hearing Friday when Blumenfeld sought to have his $20,000 bond reduced. The men were indicted after they are alleged to have made the promises of immunity in the courts to prospective advertisers, in a magazine they said would be published. Road Purchases Scheduled John J. Brown, director of the state highway department, said today that the department June 23 would buy 6,425 gallons of paint, varnish and raw oils for maintenance work on signs, bridges, guard rails, and other highway markings, at an estimated cost of $8,500.

For as the bride stepped from the car disaster fell. ‘‘Oh! Oh! Look what I’ve done,” she cried, “my stocking is ruined!” Sure enough, the sheer mesh that covered one slender ankle was hopelessly torn. “I won't be married in that!” she said. Into the hotel the party went, offering suggestions. Borrow a pair! From whom ? Buy a pair! W here ... on a national holiday? The outlook was dark indeed until help came from an unexpected quarter. “Excuse me,” it was the bellboy rooming the party who was speaking. “I think I could match those stockings if you would let me have one for a sample.” “How ? Where ? All the stores are closed today.” “Down on the East Side they aren’t.” So off came a stocking, and away went the boy. Down to the East Side he directed his cab. Delancev Street!

U. S. WORKERS LOSE MILLIONS IN WAGE CUTS Federation’s Estimate Is Based on Comparison of Factory Pay. By Bcripps-lloicard Xctcipaper Allianr* WASHINGTON, June B.—American workers lost between $2,500,000.000 and $3,000,000,000 through wage cuts, unemployment and part-time work in the first quarter of 1931, according to an estimate made, today in the monthly survey of business of the American Federation of Labor. The estimate is based on a comparison of factory wages this year and those paid in the same months of 1929. These show a drop of about one-third from $990,000,000 in 1929 to $650,000,000 this spring. The rise in wages this spring was found to be merely seasonal. Five Million Still Jobless The statement estimates that nearly 5,000,000 men still unemployed. May showed 17.1 per cent out of work. Little gain is expected after May. Meanwhile, relief funds are being exhausted, the report says. Good points in the picture are listed as follows: Business activity has increased, forecasters believe that the bottom has been reached; automobile plants increased their output each month this spring up to the May peak; cotton textiles increased accordingly; retail buying improved; production of mines and factories has risen. But, the survey says, prices are declining, there probably will be more wage cuts, the building industry is declining, mills find orders slow, a very difficult six months are ahead, with hard adjustments. Some Progress Made “Progress has been made this spring,” says the report in summing up the situation, “but anew decline still is possible. “Reliable forecasters believe that the present pessimism is a sign of the final stages of the depression, that executives are making an effort to adjust, and most business leaders see next fall as a likely time for recovery to start. “Nevertheless, unwise policies may tip the scales downward.”
