“Tlie Kid from Kokomo,” something new in the way of prizefight comedies, will open at the Voncastle Theatre Sunday and Monday. Pat O’Brien, Wayne Morris and Joan 1 Blondcll head the cast of the Warner !
Bros, production.
Vicing with Miss Blondcll for feminine comedy honors are May ; Robson and Jane Wyman. Heading ■ as hilarious a collection of “mugg” comedians as has ever supported a ! group of stars are Stanley Fields, j Maxie Rosenbloom, Sidney Toler, Kd Brophy, Ward Bon ! and Paul Hurst. Sleek menace is represented by Mor-
gan Conway.
Much of the comedy is “The Kill from Kokomo’’ is based on the larcenous nature of some of the camp followers of the sport which a famous boxing writer used to call “the man- ; ly art of modified murder," but the only victims of murderous assault in this picture are the golden rule and , the king’s English.

Two determined men pitted | against each other in a deadly j struggle of brawn against brains, within a steel-walled world surround- | ed by treacherous high seas that’s i RKo Radio's “Pacific Liner,” gripping drama of unleashed passions which is coming to the Chateau Theatre next Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday.
Virile Victor McLaglen as a twofisted chief engineer, swaggering dictator of an ocean liner’s murky stokehold and Chester Morris as a rugged ship’s-doctor are co-starred. Crammed with adventure, romance and conflict, the story unfolds during an ill-fated voyage from Shanghai to San Francisco. Morris ships aboard the S. S. Arcturus as physician in order to be near nurse Wendy Barrie, although his skill with tropica! diseases has brought him more lucrative offers. McLaglen accepts the post as chief engineer on the liner because the captain, looking forward to p. record-breaking run, wants the only man w'ho holds the throbs of a ship’s engine more important than the pulse beats of his motley crew, i TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Of- j fice of the Asst Director of Pro- ; curement Public Buildings Branch, , Procurement Div , Washington, D.

» >. v LANE ISSUES STA I I Ml. VI The following statement was issued today by O. B. Lane, state senator from Putnam and Montgomery counties relative to the automobile
truck tiro tax:
As a matter of self defense and not from a political angle I want the truck owners of the two counties which I represent to know that as a matter of fairness and justice to them I felt that the truck tire weight tax law should have been repealed and the $625,000 which had been collected from a few of the truck owner s, should have been returned to the ones who had paid in, to place them on a parity with the ones who hadn’t paid. House Bill No. 217 whicii provided for the refund of the $625,000 to those who had paid in last year and House Bill No. 216 which called for its repeal both bills passed the house with only 7 dissenting votes on 216 m l five dissenting voter: op. 217. Members of both parties in the house joi. ed in the pus ige of the two bills. Both bills came to the Senate Feb. 8th. To No. H. B.-216 the Democrats purposely tacked on a one cent raise in gasoline tax and reduced the license plate on pleasure cars to $1 00 thus making the bill unconstitutional by not having the title of the bill cover the subject matter as the bill was originally to repeal a law anil in it they wanted to enact two new laws on different subjects which < >uld have very easily been presented in three separate bills. H. B. 217 was purposely held in committee until 11:30 of the last night of the session, then one of the Democrats made a motion to suspend the rules and pass H. B. 217. which was nothing more than a political trick and by not having enough of their own number present to suspend the rules to pass the “buck” on to tie Republicans, if they refused to suspend the rules then they were responsible for the truckmen not reee ving their i fund of the $625,000 which had already been deposited in the state’s general fund where there was ;■ deficit of $2,000,000 and since the law hadn’t been repealed the money couldn't have been returned had the bill been passed. If the Governor and .’H Democrats in the Senate wanted th • law repealed and the money refunded why didn’t they do something with the two bills instead of holding them in committee for four weeks then bringing them out when they knew it was too late to pass them. The Govei nor censured the Repub■i' '.ns for not suspending the rules the last half hour to do something he had pledged the people the first day of the session he would do and had in his power with the help of the Democratic majority in the Senate during the four weeks they lay in committee. No self respecting legislator would consent in the last half hour to suspend the rules and lay down the bars to pass a bill he never saw or didn’t know what would be Injected into the bill without his knowledge. That’s the way windshield gadget bills are pu ^ed. A bill is eupposiM to lay on
a legislator’s desk for three days in order that he may read it carefully then he will make enough mistakes. But to vote for a bill he never saw is ridiculous. To think of a Governor sending out a personal letter to every truckman in the state and blaming the Republicans for not passing the bills is an absurdity, ridiculous and beneath the dignity of a Governor. Then for a state policeman when attempting to enforce the law informing the driver, he’s very sorry but the Republicans are to blame. Anyone should know that a bill which passed the House the sixteen Republicans in the Senate were powerless to check the thirty four Democrats in the Senate when they wished to pass a law. The sixteen Republicans were eager to repeal the law and refund the money if given a legitimate chance to vote on the bills. Let’s be honest and fair with the people. I never did think the legislative chamber was a place to play politics at the expense of the people. I feel that when I am accused of such it is my duty to explain my stand. I defy any one to show me where I ever played petty politics in the Legisla-
ture.
It is not the locally owned trucks that are tearing up the roads, but the large semi-trailer trucks that go the full length of our state without buying gas or paying a cent of tax for the upkeep of the roads. While there is a law they can’t come into our state with over fifteen gallons of gasoline. The heal of the highway department told me two years ago the law was not enforced at al' times and many went across the state without buying any gasoline since gasoline is sold cheaper in
adjoining states.
All of the local truck owners pay a large tax in proportion to the size of their truck very few under twenty dollars and on up according to the size of the truck then they pay a proportional share of tax in gasoline and I feel that they maintain their proportional part of the upkeep of cur highway. In addition to the above named taxes with the new | law that is under controversy they are asked to pay from $2 to $40. I believe every cilizen is interested in not over burdening the truckmen with excessive and unfair taxes which will eventually reflect back on the farmer and every other business
man as well i gcoda hauled.
Severa' truckmen have told me they didn’t make enough profit to pay the extra tax and support their
family.
T have always believed that any legislation that hurt business hurts every one. The more men we can keep in legitimate business the fewer
there will be on relief.
Every Republican in the legislature opposed the passage of this law two years ago and were equally anxious to repeal H during the last session. feeling that it was unfair and
an unjust burden.
