Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Joins With The Times in Seeking Film Stars of Tomorrow. Who will he the film stars of tomorrow? Will an Indianapolis girl be among them? Executives of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer company, world's greatest motion picture producing organization, believe that tomorrow's stars will come up from the ranks of America's “unknowns" . , . just as did Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer.

Film Contracts Await This studio on wheels, built by the motion picture company at a cost of $150,000. is traveling everywhere in quest of America's perfect feminine screen find. But is this girl to be found here? If she is. perhaps she will be the lucky girl who will be awarded a film contract and who will be sent to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios in Culver City, Cal., to be further tested by one of the outstanding directors to determine her possibilities of securing a part in a forthcoming production. Chance for Fame Never before has an opportunity such as this presented itself to Indianapolis girls. It’s a chance for fame! . . . perhaps eventual stardom! But—hold on a minute—that isn't all. Some of the greatest box office stars are children. Take little Jackie Cooper for example ... or consider the motion picture value of some of the youngsters in the Hal Roach "Our Gang - ’ comedies.

POLICE SEEKING MAKER OF CAGE IN ROBLES CASE Latest Kidnaping Suspect Absolved by June; Pit Studied. By I'nited Press TUCSON, Ariz., May 19.—Detectives searched local machine shops today for a mechanic who built a corrugated-iron cage in which little June Robles was found chained nineteen days after she was kidnaped. Only a mechanic or welder, skilled in the art of handling ball hammer and iathe, could have constructed the torture chamber, authorities were convinced. With no available suspects at hand, they instigated a hunt for the builder, believing he either was involved directly in the kidnaping or could shed some light on the anonymity of the kidnapers. The metal box. which was sunk in a shallow pit in the desert nine miles from here, was expertly fashioned and constructed. Strips of sheet iron were cut to fit the sides and ends snugly. Nails were pounded deeply into the seams with a ball hammer, a tool difficult to handle except by a skilled hand. June was released from the cruel torture box Monday night. An ankle chain bound her fast. The only ventilation was from a small opening at the top which was lightly screened by cactus and mesquite. Hope of an early solution of the case faded late yesterday when June absolved the latest suspect, a “dude" rancher. He was released when he explained his recent movements and June declared he was not the man who kidnaped her April 25 as she was walking home from school. Federal experts continued their tests of fingerprints found on the iron cage and on food containers discovered in the shallow pit. This phase of the investigation was expected to require another twentyfour hours before it could be determined if the prints are likely to lead to an early arrest. 5 PRISONERS GUILTY IN MURDER OF GUARD Quintet Faces Life Terms for Fatal Prison Break Attempt.

PRESIDENT PENS SILVER POLICY ON YACHT TRIP Message Will Be Ready for Congress Monday: Crime Bills Signed. B'i 1 niird Trrs* WASHINGTON, May 19—President Roosevelt was cruising peacefully on the Potomac today aboard the yacht. Sequoia, with the drive to wind up the seventy-third congress in full swing. The President was utilizing the interlude to complete his congressional message on silver legislation, which he expected to send tp congress Monday. After that the President has only three more messages for congress. To allow the President a brief respite in the fast-increasing pace of the adjournament period he was accompanied only by Mrs. Roosevelt. Miss Marguerite Le Hand, his private secretary, and Miss Lorena Hickok. close friend of Mrs. Roosevelt. The President will return to Washington Sunday morning to attend exercises commemorating the centenary of Lafayette’s death. Before boarding the yacht, the President completed a whirlwind day. Among his many acts was the signing of six new laws strengthening federal powers in suppression of crime. Justice department experts expected the measures to prove of great aid in stamping out gangsterism and desperadoes of the Dillinger type. The President characterized the laws as a “renewed challenge to interstate crime.” “Law enforcement and gangster extermination." said Roosevelt, “can not be made completely effective so long as a substantial part of the public looks with tolerance upon known criminals, permits public offices to be corrupted or intimidated by them or applauds efforts to romanticize crime.” TWO ILLINOIS MINES WRECKED BY BOMBS Explosion BfliPvcd Revival of Union Warfare.
