Supplementary estimates for the army, navy and air force were sub mitted to the house. More than $55,000,000 of the huge appropriation will be used to build the air force to peak strength.

BERKELEY"FROWNS ON NUDIST CAMP CALIFORNIA CITY SAYS “NlX’* TO COLONY PROPOSAL BERKELEY, Cal., July 9 (TP)— There will be no nudist camp in the city of Berkeley, and that’s final. “Queen Tanya’’ Cubitt of the cele brated San Diego camp was turned down flatly by City Manager Hollis Thompson, city health director, Dr. Frank Kelly, and Mayor Edward Ament. “Queen Tanya,” who cut quite a swath in New York under the name of Florence Cubitt, was counting pretty heavily on setting up a nudist reservation at Berkeley in 1939. That is the year of the San Francisco World's fair. Miss Cubitt’s manager, Jack Adams, contended that the nudist .amp would bring reams of publicity to the town. Adams almost started a panic at Newark, N. J., several months ago when he announced that Misis Cubitt would fly in from the west coast and step from the airplane in nothing but a pretty smile. The airlines forced her to put on her coat. The girl went to a New York hotel and used 2,000 oranges taking a daily dip in orange juice. Anyway that’s the story her publicity man told, range juice or no, the Berkeley city fathers didn’t like the idea of a nudist camp. City Man ager Thompson looked through the ordinances until h? found a law he could use against the nudist queen. Then the city officials gave “Queen Tanya” Cubitt a unanimous “No.!” Not In the News THAT REMARKABLE group, the newspaper • reporters whose duty it i 3 to collect the news for dissemina tion to the public, themselves are often responsible for many good stories that are never printed. In fact, as a source of amusing anecdotes, the reporters are practically unbeatable. This is due largely to their eccentric ities both real and imaginary, and often to a strong desire to capitalize on the atmosphee of romance and glamor built up for the newspaper man by the reading public. Os course, to appreciate scone of these anecdotes, you have to know the person about whom the story Is told. But here is a little incident which we think you’ll enjoy even if we don’t tell the reporter’s name. * * * THIS NEWSHOUND is connected with a Chicago newspaper. He is a fairly capable man, but is a sort who thrives on stirring up a bit of ex citement now and then, regardless of where he may be. He occasionally is sent to other cities to report news j stories for his paper. And one of his 1 recent assignments was the inva.il- I gation of the Black Legion in Detroit. Perhaps/you will recall that early In the investigation the police con fiscated several uniforms used by members of the Black Legion at their secret sessions. These outfits con sisted of a long black robe, a shawl like cap and a hideous-looking mask that you might select for a Hallow e'en masquerade party. But what you probably didn’t know is that one of these uniforms was stolen from the police station after they had been seized. Strangely 1 enough the garb was reported miss- I lng after a conference of officials with newspaper men. * * * A NIGHT or two after the theft of he unifonn a party was in progreso in the hotel room of the Chicago re d?v had Worked hard that ? a v.H hC ln need of some re jaxation, so he decided to have some hl7 o £r,,«!

And have the fair but not so fragile ones taken advantage of this? Give a look! At this writing there are already more than a dozen women managers of radio stations. And some of these stations are in pretty large owns, too —such as WJAY, Clevleand; WCNW and WMtB’Q, Brooklyn, and WNEW, Newark, N. J. In addition, there are many women radio sales executives and commercial department managers. The field of radio script writing has also been in vaded successfully by women and soon, who knows, we may have wom en gag thinker-uppers. Women have been as important in the field of radio entertainment as men almost since radio’s inception. Today the female song birds are on an equal footing in popularity with mere man. Offhand, can you name as many male radio warblers as these —Grace Moore, Kate Smith, Jessica Dragonette, Ruth Etting, Gladys Swarthout, Marion Talley, Ethel Shutta? Are there any male trios or quar tets as well known as the Pick'etis or the Boswell sisters? Women are also forging to the front in the field of radio dramatics led by such stars as Irene Rich, Cornelia Otis Skinner and others. It is significant that the winner in a wide-spread poll of popularity of children’s programs was a woman — “The Singing Lady,’* Mrs. Ireene Wicker. Comediennes are making their brothers of the air look to their laurels. Grade Allen, Mollie McGee, Calara, Lu and Em, Portland Hoffa and a number of others rank high in this field. Feminine commentato i on current news and events are no longer a novelty to the radio fan who lists among his favorties Dorothy Thomp son and Maybelle Jennings. GANGSTERS ERASE LIFE CAREER OF ILLINOIS SOLON JOHN BOLTON IS CHASED AND SHOT DOWN BY GUNMEN CHICAGO July 9 (TP)—An auto mobile chase and the roar of gang sters’ guns brought death to Illinois Representative John Bolton early to day. Witnesses told police of a mad chase by two automobiles which trail ed Bolton’s car. One of the pursuing machines drew up alongside the leg islator’s car. A hail of bullets and shotgun blasts poured into Bolton’s automobile. The killer sped on and disappeared. Executives seeking a motive for the murder said it was probable' that Bol ton was marked for death by gamb lers. Last year the lawmaker spon- j sored, a bill which licensed handbooks in Chicago. WORKMEN RUSHING OLYMPIC STADIUM NEW YORK, July 9 (TP)—Five thousand, two hundred workmen, toil ing in three shifts, are rushing the new municipal stadium into readiness today for the Olympic tryouts on Saturday. This big WPA project will open along with the 64 million dol lar triborough bridge, to be dedicated by President Roosevelt, Interior Sec retary Ickes, Mayor LaGuardia and Parks Commisioner Mo-res. legion’s uniforms. Fearful of what might happen next, some of the peo ple fled from the lobby. But the more courageuos held their ground. And to each of those remaining the hideous creature crept lamely to ask ln a shrill but deadly serious tone: “Is it true what they say about Dixie?” Camera Glimpses Into the Life of J.

BIG EXPANSION IS SLATED FOR ROME VICOSE PLANT PLANS FOR $2,300,000 ENLARGE MENT ROME, Ga., July 9. —Production will be increased 50 per cent at the Rome plant of the Tubize Chatillon Corporation through a $2,000,000 ac> dition to the viscose plant here, R. C. Jones, local manager, has stated. About 350 more workers will be added ; to 1,300 now employed here. All that remains is approval by two-thirds of Class A stockholders of corporation, who will meet July 30 in New Yor\ city to discuss the project. Roland L. Taylor, chairman of board of directors, which has indorsed the expansion, will ask stckholders for authority to borrow $2,800,000 — $2,300,000 for Rome and $500,000 for Hopewell, Va. “A number of substantial holders of Class A and preferred stocks have already expressed their approval of the proposals,” said Mr. Jone;, ‘ and approval at July 30 meet is thought to be assured. The company does not have the cash necessary to make the contemplated improvements, but offi cials believe the future of the indus try justifies borrowing the money for the expansion.” Plans call for an additional unit to j the viscose plant and other improvc ; ments in existing machinery. The j new unit will increase rayon produc- I tion from 11,000,000 pounds annually | to 16,000,000 pounds. Present price of first-grade rayon is 55 cents. Viscose chemical process turns out smooth rayon cloth from the raw products— cotton lentils mixed with wodo pulp. This will be the second large addi tion to the plant since its erection here, $2,000,000 hiving been spent in erecting plant additions two years ago. Work on latest improvement will begin as soon as possible. Besides the $2,300,000 viscose plant addition, officials plan to install new machinery in acetate plant to double production by that process, which now is on experimental basis. Floor space and building specifica tions not yet available. The report of architects and engineers will be made public after July 30 meeting. Dr. Henry S. Tanner of Minne apolis, started all this reducing busi ness in the eighties by subsisting on water for 40 days, He lost only 10 1-2 pounds. SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1936 FAMED INVENTOR TO DEMONSTRATE WEATHER DEVICE DR. CHARLES BROOKS TO MAKE ADVANCED TESTS LAKEHURST, N. J., July 9 (TP). ■ The New England inventor. Dr. Charles Franklin Brooks will demon strate his "radio meteorograph” to day before United States naval offi cials and a weather bureau expert from Washington. Dr. Brooks perfected his device at the Blue Hills observatory at Bos ton. The meteorograph is designed to provide data on temperatures, pres sure and humidity changes in the up per air. The Rockefellar foundation is pro viding a special fund for promotion of the device. The New England council plans to have Dr. Brooks issue a handbook on New England climate, with information assembled from the metorograph. The agricul ture department will assign two men to study Dr. Brooks long-range weather forecasting. Weather experts have obtained information on condi tions in the upper layers of air by the use of airplanes in the past. The upper air conditions exert an impor tant influence on weather conditions near the earth. INVENTORS AGAIN SEEKING DEVICE FOR MAKING RAIN PRESIDENT OF CONVEN TION WELCOMES ANY SUGGESTION SPRINGFIELD, Mass. July 9 (TP) In the heart of Springfield today a man sits in his hotel suite with a mass of suggestions on how to cause a rainstorm. The recommendations and devices range from prayer to air squadrons. The man is Albert G. Burns of Oakland, Cal., who is pres ident of the National Inventors Con gress. Burns says a reward of $25,000 awaits the person who can make the rain fall at will. A similar amount is said to be available for some method of preventing downpours. Hundreds of strange gadgets will be on exhibit in Springfield during an inventors’ convention in Septem ber, but the rain-making problem has not been solved. Suggestions inclde a refrigerating system for the upper air, aerial bombs and the liberation of chemicals from airplane:. Still the $25,000 reward goes unclaimed and the west suffers from a great drought.

WESTON When a human boing comes into this world, whether a lad or a lass, assisted by a quack or a midwife, there is ever a family discussion, a verbal outburst, like a convention of old maids in an argument on birth control. The mother is full of both pride and pain, and casts a wistful eye on the new' arrival b:ing dangled aloft to catch its breath. Whereas Daddy, the forgotten part of the family's progress, seeks solace in his Scotch and Soda until the tail feathers of the stork have faded in the offing. Where Traditions Reign The traditions of Kelly’s Creek strongly support the gossip that JOE was born out of wedlock, and bap tized in the water hole next to the moonshine still. Os his parentage JOE admits. “My Dad was a sailor a-roving free, At every port he’d a gal on his knee: That he was -he early start of me Whenever one questions my pedigree.” He also remembers his old man saying “We cum from monkeys." But whenever the kids went to the swimming hole and stripped, the evi dence was lacking because the clues were all cold. JOE’S mother died after his toe sucking days and there remained only a boyhood remembrance of the old orphanage with a big fence around where prowling cats met, yowled, clawed and spat. Every day JOE got paddled for doing something another fellow did just to keep him in training w'hen a proxy was needed. In due time he became a recruit of Uncle Sam’s army and threw out his chest in a swaggering manner, believing that he was going to wipe CHICAGO ANSWERS RELIEF PROBLEMS BY FOOD ORDERS PROPOSED TAX ORDIN ANCE ONLY ANSWER TO QUESTION CHICAGO, July 9 (TP).—More than 40,000 food orders were dropped into mail boxes today for Chicago families who are in desperate need of relief. The city council jammed through an emergency ordinance calling for a three-mill tax on real estate after a day of riots and demonstrations by jobless men. The relief clients hoot ed and jeered in the council cham bers while Aldermen sought means of breaking a deadlock over relief funds. Corporation Council Barnet Hodes expressed doubt today that the city’s relief troubles are at an end. He said the new city tax ordinance will do little to settle the matter. Hodcs expressed the opinion that the three mill levy cannot be used legally for relief. BRITAIN PROMISES TO RECALL SHIPS MEDITERRANEAN FLEET BE GREATLY REDUCED LONDON. July 9 (TP).—The Brit ish admiralty announced today that the heavy concentration of warships in the Mediterranean will be reduced at once. The admiralty added, however th Britain will maintain a larger flee, in the disputed waters than she did before the Ethiopian war. Observers predicted that the with drawal of British vessels would go a long way towards easing diplomatic tension beeween London and Rome. Italy is expected to withdraw some of her troops in Libya, on the Egyp tian border. The British foreign of fice was hopeful that Premier Musso lini would see fit to enter into the present conference on the rearming of the Dardanelles. Mussolini is ex pected also to asume his full share of responsibilities in the Locarno con ference to be held on July 22. out this whole cockeyed world, but his plans fallrd completely. Whilst mooching around one day wondering what h s next move would be, a Salvation Army lassie pinned 1 her angelic eye on him. he was just beginning to observe petticoats and could give them vigilant attent on when the desire seized him. The Blood and Fire enthusiast cap tured her convert and admonished him to follow the prayer service. Jo? Meets Sue At the first meeting a newer model knelt beside him highly geared with limitless speed and wearing a fresh coat of paint, so JOE got her num ber. Radiating a friendly grin, there was exhibited hi- mail order of new china tusks, just cashed in. “Hello punk!” she greeted. His admiration loosened at once and he calkd her SUE. “Just where did y*r spring from?” was the interrogative “Not yer were born?” “I don’t know, I just cum.” “Who was yer old man?” “I was too young to think.” “Who was yer mother?” “You find out.” “Were both rocking in the same ole boat, let’s chop them waves to gether, what sez yer, honey?” JOE went to work, JOE had to work now, there were two to grab the gravy bowl. He opened’s a hambergsr joint, ice cream and hard liquor with a side line of suckers were his saleable as sets. By the time winter had moved north, they began to think of shov ing off in their open air chariot. Aboard their Lizzy they could view the glor.es of Uncle Sam’s domain from merry Coney Island to the tower ing Totem Poles of Alaska. (More Tomorrow) HATCHER HUGHES PROTESTS MOVE FOR CENSORSHIP PROFESSOR ATTACKS PRO POSED RADIO AC TION NEW YORK, July 9 (TP). —The liberal professor and playwright, Hatcher Hughes, protested sharply to the federal communications commis sion today against its proposed order to censor foreign radio programs re broadcast in the United States.

F. Abercrombie, di rector of the State Departmnet of Public Health, to issue a statement saying there is no need for alarm in Georgia. He addad “should the dis ease become prevalent in Georgia, the people will be notified immediately.
