Stork Laughs
It’s a Girl at Fortels, Although Papa Said It Would Be Boy.
EWARK, N. J, June 21 (U. P). — Sidney A. Fortel's whole new career was ruined today—the stork had crossed him up. Te had been certain of one thing in the world: That his mathematical formula could predict the sex of unborn babies every time. He had predetermined the sex of 60 friends’ children, so he said. And so, last March 7, he announced withiout hesitancy that a son would be born to his wife. He named the son Howard A. Fortel. When the boy was born he was going to quit his linen supply business and become a professional sex predeterminator. Yesterday at 3:20 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) Mrs. Fortel gave birth to a girl » n » T was a blow to Mr. Fortel. “That's impossible,” he shouted at the hospital information desk. “There must be some mistake.” Nurses convinced him that there wasn’t. “Nature can't do this to me,”

TALLULAH AIDS WPA THEATER
Senator Adams Talks of Compromise After Plea By Actress.
WASHINGTON, June 21 (U. P). —Tallulah Bankhead, glamorous actress daughter of Speaker William B. Bankhead, scored a “hit” in the role of lobbyist and appeared today to have won a partial victory in her fight for continuation of the Federal Theater Project.
Chairman Alva B. Adams (D.
Colo.), of the Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee considering the $1,735,000,000 relief bill for the next fiscal year, said he believed that
: {House action, which abolished the
project, could be compromised. He suggested that theater projects | might be continued with a provision | that they have a local sponsor—a requirement made of other WPA art projects.
Got No Kiss Either
Senator Adams volunteered this apparent willingness to make a concession, despjte the fact that he was not one of the fortunate Senators who received a big hug and a kiss from Miss Bankhead during
her one-day stand here. She had learned well her “lines” as lobbyist before arriving yesterday and centered an attack on “Uncle John”—Senator Bankhead (D. Ala.), a member of Senator Adams’ subcommittee. “You are going to filibuster this thing through for me, aren’t you?” she pleaded, giving Senator Bankhead a hug that left him speechless. Technique Better
Her technique improved and as the subcommittee assembled to hear her plea, Miss Bankhead slipped a kiss on the cheek of Senator MecKeller (D. Tenn.), ranking majority member of the group. The subcommittee failed to regain its decorum sufficiently for WPA Administrator F. C. Harrington to finish his prepared statement, but Senator Adams promised to conclude the hearings by tomorrow ‘unless something unexpected happens.”

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, June 21 (U. P.). — Members of an official Naval Court of Inquiry gasped today as a chief electrician’s mate told in matter-of-fact tones how he dared death to disconnect battery switches in the sinking submarine Squalus. He was Lawrence James Gainor, chunky, enlisted man from Honolulu. Only yesterday, his commander, Lieut. Oliver F. Naquin, cited him to the court for “heroism beyond the call of duty.” Gainor, testifying at the inquiry
into the sinking of the Squalus May
23 with a loss of 26 lives, said vapor was rising from the batteries, connecters were red-hot and cables were melting when he lowered himself into the three-foot-high compartment and crawled to disconnect the switches. Not only was there danger of electrocution, he said, but there also was danger of a serious fire. In his testimony yesterday, Lieut. Naquin said such a fire might have cut off the men in the control room from rescue, Partly as result of Gainor's heroism, all 33 men in the dry forward compartments and control
room were brought to the surface)
