request occupation until the Yem-
en-Saudl Arabia border dispute Is
settled
Warships Anchored
Controversy between the Imam
and Ibn Saud. powerful ruler of
Caudi Arabia over a hilly border
stretch precipitated the bitter war-
fare which has aroused the appre-
hensions of at least three nations.
Both Britain and Italy as well
as Prance have warships in the
Red Sea along the Yemen coast
to protect their nationals and to be
ready for any Saudian move that
might threaten their interests in
Bouth Arabia.
Reports from the war zone in-
dicated the Imam Yahya had des-
paired of staving off the advance
of the forces of Ibn Saud. but ad-
vices were conflicting.
Conflicting Reports
One report was that the Yemen-
ites had turned the tables on their
attackers outside Hodeidah. Yemen
Red Sea port which already has
fallen before Ibn Saud.
Another report however said
Yemlni troops at Sana walled cap-
ital of Yemen had revolted ag.iinst
Imam as his military leaders work-
ed to strengthen the city's defenses
against an impending attack.

Maybe It’s a Honeymoon They See
The rainbow of happiness might be up there where Jimmy Dunn
and Patricia Lee are gazing so smilingly or again it might be a
cosy third-floor apartment that takes their fancy. In any event
it's the talk in Hollywood that they’ll be the next of the Aim
colony to wed ae they’ve been seen together often in recent
months.

umbia Studio in "Whom the Gods
Destroy."
Although Bosworth has remained
at the top ol the film ranks fate
has not been so kind to Mist
Adams now middle-aged. She has
the role of an extra.
“Power ol The Sultan” was pro-
duced for the Selig-Polyscope
Company of Chicago and was di-
rected by Francis Boggs who was
slam in 1911 by a Chinese gardener
in the old Selig Film Studio.
Besides Bosworth and Mi*-^
Adams the cast included Betty
Hart as the ingenue and the late
Tom Santschi as stunt man.
“Even in those days" Bosworth
recalled “we had our difficulties
over camera hogging. I remember
the story called for Tom Santschi
to rescue Miss Adams from the
Sultan and hand her down to me
over a well.
"Then as the fadeout came. Tom
was to kneel by my side as I placed
my hand on his head and said
something like "Fine work my boy.
I’m proud of you." I couldn't stand
for that. Think of me. the star
handing the fadeout of the picture
to the stunt man.
"So we rewrote the story. I saved
th egirl handed her to Santschi
who later handed her back to me
and Stella and I went into a clinch
for the finish. I probably started
something then and there because
actors have been scrapping about
the fadeouts ever since."

ARGENTINA TO
BLOCK WHEAT
PRICETREATY
LONDON. May 9. —i/P»— Failure
to create a world-wide minimum
wheat price pact appeared inev-
itably Wednesday when Tomas l*
Breton chief Argentme negotiator
at the world wheat conference told
the Associated Press:
“Argentina is not ready to join.'
Door Left Ajar
Although condemning the pres-
ent scheme for a minimum price
arrangement as impractical Le
Breton left the door ajar with the
declaration:
“We are still considering the
proposal with an open mind.”
It Is the unanimous view of the
conference which resumed its ses-
sions Wednesday that there can
be no pact unless all wheat ex-
porting nations adhere.
The long-discussed proposal to
fix an international minimum scale
of wheat prices was expected to
be acted upon finally at this con-
ference when sessions opened Mon-
day.
Delegate* predicted the confer-
ence would continue well into next
week unless a complete breakdown
develops.
Wants ‘Friendly Pact'
While giving the impression that
there was no chance ol persuading
Argentina to join in the proposed
pact. Le Breton cushioned hi*
criticism with the remark that
"diplomatically speaking we never
oppose anything.'
Stressing the need for disposi-
tion of the Argentine's crop and
fears she would be hard hit if her
markets were lost. Le Breton said.
“You can always have a minimum
price but can’t always have buy-
ers who will pay that price.”
He predicted that a “friendly
arrangement ’ wouli be reached with
the United States. Canada and
Australia to provide an increase
In the Argentine export quota and
prevent a breach of the wheat pact
in that respect.

which Valley shippers are showing
an interest.
The car of Valencias were color -
ea by what is known as the Harvey
process which colors the fruit ac-
cording to existing quality and in
about half the usual time. In ad-
dition. it adds considerably to the
life of the oranges permitting
them to stand up longer in the
dea’ers' hands.
Appearance of the fruit L» said
to havp been oleasing to the buy-
ers. About 100 Florida sheds con-
template installing equipment iot
thif new process. Co6t of the process
wil- average about 3 1-2 cents a
box to the shipper. The pn>
imparts a higher color to the fruit
after m^HMty although it does
not hurry maturity. The liigh-r
bngher appearance makes It
Florida oranges look more like the
California product. The process will
be confined to oranges for the1
present
