Elsie Crabtree, the co-ed with the
dimpled knees, ba de a tearful fare-
well to Hollywood today and head-
ed for Butte, Mont , where she said
he understood a girl—and her
"Inees—would be treated respectful-
ly.
She and her knees received no
acclamation here, despite the glow-
ing reports of her University of
Nevada press agent. Elsie's knees
deceived only sneers from 50 bare-
kneed girls who claimed their knees
were prettier than hers and her
leadership of Hollywood's Santa
Claus parade was something of a
fiasco. The parade was fine, but
alsie was afraid of, those 50 girls
behind her. This fear interfered with
her drum majoretting.
EXPECTED RECEPTION
• When Elsie flew here from the
University of Nevada, where she
caused more excitement than the
Schools “football team when she
marched between the halves, she
expected a first class Hollywood re-
ception.
She put on her white satin pant-
ies her black coat with the span-
gles and her shako to head the 15th
annual Christmas parade and was
amazed to find her assistant drum
majorettes wearing rouged dimples
on their knees and refusing to
speak to her. +
Santa Claus, Jack Benny, Dorothy
ready to begin the parade and
Harold Lloyd was about to snip the
ribbon across Hollywood boulevard
when the drum majorettes raised
a rumpus
ELSIE CHALLENGED
They clustered around David J
Malloy, the grand Marshal, and
said they wouldn’t march, if they
had to march behind Elsie. Their
leader, Miss Gwen Stith, who iden-
tified herself as the world's cham-
pion drum majorette said Elsie
was a ringer. She challenged Elsie
to a contest, beauty, hair-pulling,
or otherwise, and said:
"What, Mr. Malloy, are you
going to do about it?”
Malloy thought in a hurry and
worked out a compromise whereby
Elsie led a boys' band and Gwen
led the drum majorettes
Elsie said for publication that
she was thrilled to be in Hollywood:
she added sotto voce that she was
heading for Butte to lead the band
there, and that she believed the
folks there would appreciate the
symmetry of her knees When that
assignment is finished, she said she
was returning to Reno, where the
dean of women is of the opinion
she should spend less time exhibit-
ing her knees and more time ab-
sorbing the school's curriculum.
When Elsie isn’t marching in
front of bands: which seems to be
most of the time, she is studying
to become a civil engineer
Movie Industry Prepares
For Nationwide Walkout
HOLLYWOOD. Nov. 25.——The motion picture industry braced it-
self today for the shock of a strike call which AFL union leaders said
would close every film theater in the United States and Canada
Failing to wrangle a 10 percent wage increase for 23.000 studio tech-
nicians. William Bioff, chairman of the conference of studio unions, an-
enounced that he would call today a “general strike throughout the entire
Emotion picture industry."
The hour of the walkout was not announced
Bioff’s declaration followed a conference of AFL executives and movie
producers, in which Joseph M.
Schenck, chairman of the produc-
ers negotiating committee, informed
@he union their demands were being
ed because of a “complete re-
adjustment which faces, the indus-
try."
Loss of foreign markets and sharp
curtailment of production had been
aited by the producers as effects of I
"he European war on the industry.
The unions p. ted to "exhorbitant
salaries" paid to stars and "ridicu-
lously low" wages to hundreds of
technicians and challenged produc-
ers to make revisions.
• "We feel that the underpaid
workers should get thei. wage
increases right now," Bioff told
newsmen after the conference
broke up.

By United Press
First official claim in the
war that Great Britain has re-
vived her World war anti-sub-
marine tactics by using Q-
Boats—heavily armed but in-
nocent appearing merchant
ships disguised as neutrals—
came from the Berlin high com-
mand today.
A German communique said that
a nazi U-boat, “in the area of sub-
marine operations," had destroyed
a British Q-boat or submarine
trap. whose armaments had been
concealed This time, the com-
munique said, the Q-boat was dis-
guised as a Dutch ship.
The communique claimed also
that a submarine had destroyed
a 1,000-ton British naval auxil-
iary vessel.
T’ose claims from Berlin were
countered by assertion in reliable
private quarters in London that the
British had captured a German
submarine while it was making an
audacious attempt to enter the
Firth of Clyde, on the southwest
coast of Scotland It was believed
that it was the same U-boat which
last month entered Scapa Flow and
torpedoed the British battleship
Royal Oak. The admiralty has not
yet confirmed the reports of the
capture of the U-boat.
CONCENTRATE ON MINES
The British for the moment con-
centrated on meeting the menace of
German mine warfare. The admir-
alty. after disclosing that on
Thursday it had been necessary to
partially close the port of London
while the Thames estuary was
swept clear of mines, called for
volunteers to assist in widespread
minesweeping operations.
The British admit the loss of
58,692 tons of naval vessels and
286,563 tons of merchant ships in
the first 83 days of the war These
figures do not include 51,000 tons
of British naval vessels immobil-
ized from active service by Ger-
man submarines and airplanes.
Decision of the Allies to re-
taliate against German mine-
sowing operations by extending
their economic warfare to Ger-
man exports brought a storm of
protests from neutral nations.
The Netherlands and Belgium,
which protested first, were
joined by Japan, Italy and
Sweden and it was expected
that Norway and Denmark soon
would protest that to blockade
German exports is illegal
There was some comfort for the
Allies in Bucharest where a new
cabinet under Premier George Tat-
arescu, known as a friend of Bri-
tain and France, was installed. In-
auguration of the new Rumanian
government. In which the pro-Ger-
man element had been reduced,
caused some concern in German,
Russian and Hungarian circles. It
was expected, however, that Foreign
Minister Grigors Gafencu, who re-
tains his portfolio, would continue
his efforts to maintain friendly
relations with Germany, although
he is a bitter opponent of Hun-
garian territorial claims on Ru-
mania
