In Bing Crosby's rumpus room the walls are covered with celebrities’ names burned into the wood paneling. Walter Huston is interested in only one autograph.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 2 (U. P).— The movies handed to State Center, Iowa, today the dubious honor of being the most typically “one horse town” in America. . The reward is the world premiere of the Warner Bros.’ picure, “Pride of the Blue Grass,” which stars the blind “wonder horse” Elmer Gantry. A committee of State Center citizens sent Warner Bros. the following qualifications to win the toss: State Center has less than 1000

population; It is a flagstop on the Northwestern Railroad; The one-man police force uses 1920 Model T (when the voluneer fire department isn’t using the Lizzy for a fire); Horse-trading is the chief local

industry. : | The News Reel Theatre |

OLLYWOOD, Oct. 2.—There are probably ‘more hobbies per square foot in Hollywood than any place in the country. Strangely enough, a great many movie people collect autographs for fun. It muét act as relief from autograph hunters. Jane Withers has been collecting autographs on a leather jacket for so long that she has outgrown it.

But she still carries it around for

collecting toothirishes and dentifrices. He has cabinets full of them and is always trying out new ones. William Powell's” collection is boredom. He has na a library of “the world’s dullest-books.” He's also a gadgeteer and equips his house with all manner of trick devices. Loretta Young collects erroneous stories about her romances, and the collection is a large one.

” 2 ” IMMY CAGNEY is a do-er as well as a collector. His collecting propensity runs to firearms 100 or more years old. He also sketches

and dances. Ann Sheridan saves famous men’s ties and has one of Albert Einstein's and one of Sinclair Lewis’, as well as those worn by movie star friends.

{Humphrey Bogart tops the list of

wackie collectors. He collects rubber checks written by famous people. There are also a lot of people who do things with their hands and heads, such as Olivia de Havilland. She sketches on the backs of scripts while 'on the set and saves her handiwork for mementoes. Ginger Rogers goes in for sculpture work and song writing, and is said to be pretty good at both. Paul Muni makes a hobby of playing the violin. This diversion came in very handy in his latest picture, “We Are Not Alone,” where he fiddles on the screen in several scenes.

LAN HALE is probably the most famous gadget inventor. His sliding theater chair which saves patrons from rising for late comers has been sold quite widely. He has also developed a brake for autos, a self-sealing fruit jar lid and a special frame for eyeglasses ‘which gives an unobstructed view. Allen Jenkins combines a strenuous sport with an art and goes down into ‘the ocean in a diving suit to take underwater pictures. Cecil B. DeMille also likes to explore the briny, but he just uses a pair of swimming trunks and a div____|ine helmet. Claudette Colbert is an amateur photographer and has a complete laboratory and darkroom in her home. She.uses candid shots of her friends as place cards when she gives parties. Carole Lombard raises chickens because she likes it, but also because she can raise better chickens cheaper than she can buy them. And hubby, Clark Gable, likes to till the soil. He has a tractor, plow, harrow and even a hired man to help him.

President Roosevelt was expected to send a personal message restating his desire .for labor peace.

no hope for any peace move by the A. F. of L. Mr. Green said he regarded the C. I. O's recent announcement that it would enter the building trades’ field as a “declaration of war.” The executive council’s report demanding that the United States maintain strict neutrality, expressing the hope that “the warring countries may be prevailed upon to

ilaccept mediation” by the United

States. It urged continuance of the Federation's boycott of Japanese and German goods and services and asked the convention “to emphatically and decisively declare itself against autocracy in government, let it be Nazi, Fascist or Communist.”

I T. U. Showdown Expected A showdown was expected in the dispute between the Federation and the International Typographical Union over refusai of the I. T. U. to pay a 1 cent a month ‘per member assessment into a defense fund against the C. I. O. The I. T.
