GUN CONTRACT GETS APPROVAL IN CANADA

OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 14 /(U. P.) —Mr. Justice H. H, Davis, chaifman of the Royal Commission which inquired into the awarding of a Denfense Department contract for 12,000 Bren machine guns, officially absolved the Department of National Defense of any .impropriety in the award, a report presented to the House of Commons revealed today. . The report held that the suitability of the gun, previously approved by the British War Office and the Canadian Department of National Defense, and the urgency of the acquisition, afforded sufficient grounds for the awarding of the contract without calling for tenders. The investigation arose from a magazine article by Col. George Drew criticizing the contract. The

John Inglis Co., Toronto, which was |

awarded the contract, has filed notice of suit for libel egainst Mr. Drew and the MacLean Publishing Co., which printed the article.

could hardly hold the pen.” A month ago Miss Leigh was a British actress, who had appeared in only two films. Mr. Selznick was at his wit’'s end. He had looked over more than 2000 candidates and had spent two years seeking a leading lady. The situation was getting desperate. He took a chance. He started the picture without his heroine. Three weeks ago tonight he burned down his own private Atlanta, Ga., on the back lot of Selz-nick-International studios, for the initfal scenes of his civil war drama —and found his heroine!

“It was the oddest thing” Miss Leigh (pronounced Lee) said. “I went to the studio that night as a sight-seer. I wanted to see Atlanta burn.”

, “And when I saw Miss Leigh,” Selznick interjected, “I knew my search was at an end. She had the green eyes, the tiny waist, the dark hair and the forceful character that Margaret Mitchell wrote into her novel. As far as I was concerned, Miss Leigh was Miss O'Hara.” Three weeks of negotiation ended yesterday when Miss Leigh, Selznick, and Alexander Korda ixed their signatures to a contract putting her under exclusive management of Mr. Selznick, but allowing her to make one picture a year for Mr. Korda, who had given her her first part in London. Selznick wouldn’t say how much he was paying her. “But,” he said, “she really ought to be paying us.” He meant that her selection as

Scarlett put her on a par at once

with all the Shearers, the Garbos, and the Lombards in Hollywood. Miss Leigh, who was a picture in black and gold, agreed. She said no one ever would know how grateful she was. She said she’d even attempt to speak with a Southern accent. “But not too Southern,” cautioned Mr. Selznick. “We got thousands of signatures on petitions from the South, urging us not to put the Northern version of a Southern accent in the picture.” Miss Leigh, the 26-year-old wife of a London lawyer and the mother of a 5-year-old daughter, said she had read “Gone,” which contains almost as many words as the new Testament, not once but thrice.

JUDGE RULES OUT ‘RENO’ TYPE DIVORGE

Flimsy Evidence Is Banned Where Children Figure.

Divorces sought on the flimsy evidence”

Goett warned today.

“Where couples with children

want a divorce merely to escape re-

sponsibility of a home or for some

frivolous temperamental reason, I intend to deny decrees or at least postpone them until the cases are investigated,” “There’ll be no easy ‘Reno’ tactics in my Court.”

He cited a case this week in which there dppeared to be no deeply

rooted or serious friction in the home, merely dissatisfaction with conditions. “Evidence of deep-rooted friction in the home that might seriously affect the lives of children will have to be proven before divorces are granted in my Court,” he said. “When children are brought into the world, society expects the parents to make every effort to care for them in a good home—that’s the foundation of civilization and I'll try to keep together as many homes as possible.” Judge Goett said, however, that when evidence showed there is “absolutely no chance for parents to live together harmoniously, a divorce should and will .be granted promptly.” More than 3000 divorces are granted annually in the six County Courts handling them here. As

many as 80 have been granted in a

single day.

stated that my action was ‘free from any moral guilt’.”
