BEAT 1 Row A, Gayety Burles-
que, WMhinfton, May 4, (UP)—
Shades of Oliver Wendell Holme*
—The Oooh-la, Oom-pa girls strip
while the ttnd plays hot and
strip aome jftore and still they're
fuly clothed!
The comedians in the baggy
pants tell parlor jokes, the chorus
we rs br e*iere ; the dancers look
like debutantes and the audience
dissolves in tears. It's that said!
For 81 years Co. Jimmy Lake';
g*yety has been providing salty
entertainment for Washington's
«ffie}*ldom. It'a patrons have in-
cluded the great and the near-
rreat.
Until his death, the lata Jus-
tice Holmes was a regular at-
tendant. Were he here today he
wouldn't believe his own eyes at
the depts of decorum to which
the art ha« sunk. Not only do
strip-teaa* artists remain fully
clad, but tha cononel turns upon
them a apotlight of such a deep
and purple hue that it doean*t
matter.
With tha forces of law and
order casting a leery eye on this
most famous of American burles-
que theatre, the colonel has turn-
ed his temple of undress into a
Ladies' Aid entertainment.
"Not that it ever was risky"
the colonel said. "Here I censor
all my shows, myself, and I am
mighty strict."
Even while the colonel talked a
young lady appeared on the stage
and hey—can this be true? Wear-
ir.g long silk stockings! She sat
down and she modestly pulled her
skirts down over her knees andl
not a stitch did she remove.
The chorus danced in skirts
which reached the floor. Thenl
came the great human statuary)
scene, a regular weekly feature
It was a little unusual thia time,
because all the statues wore clo-
thes. One had on a pink bodiceJ
another silvery pants, and the
rest—honest Injun—they had on
skirts which hid their toes.
The regular customers hoped to
see something fleshy in the per-
son of a blonde and beautiful Eve-

Veto of Motor
Bill Is Likely
AUSTIN, May 3 <U.R) — Gov.
James V, Allred today forecast a
sixth veto will go to the legisla-
ture, when he "doubted" that ad-
vocates of the private motor car-
rier bill, now on his desk, realize
the next extent to which it goes.
He thought the bill diverted
funds needed for the safety depart-
ment to the Railroad Commission,
and made it possible for roads to
be crowded with unregulated

Chute Jumping
Youths Awarded

CINCINNATI, O., May 3, (UP)
—Five youthful members of the
Smithfield, 0., para«i ute club
held dipolmas today after block-
ing an effort by police to prevent
their "graduation exercises."
The boys and girls, ranging
in age from }4 to 21. had plann-
ed to celebrate completion of
"ground training" with a masa

His 62nd birthday finds the youngest member of the United States
Supreme Court, Justice Owen Roberts, enjoying the garden of his-
Washington home with Mrs. Roberts and their pet dog. With his
colleagues so frequently divided 4-4 on New Deal legislation, the
"baby" of the court shoulders the responsibility of casting the de-
ciding vote in momentous cases.

Miss Meyers appeared in a white
satin frock, with "ringe on it
Somehow she never got it all the
way off.
And as for underwear, she had
o" more drapery than a White
House window. And it must have
been a relief to take off some
of those clothes after the per-
formance so she could appear on
the street.

members still faced the ' test.
Four boys and a 19-year-old
girl, Helen Terry, made individual
jumps yesterday after police were
convinced that it was uprijtts to
attempt to halt tRe ceremony.. The
jumpers used the same parachute
and the plane had to land after
each jump so the chute could fce
re-packed."
MiSs Terry, youngest of the
jumpers, thrilled her fellow-stu-
dents when she "balled out" at
about 3600 feet and delayed
opening the 'chute for 1200 feet/
Paul Glinzak, 20-year-old presi-
dent and one-man faculty of the
club, who learned to fly by taking
a correspondence school course
jumped first to give his students
confidence. He had arranged the'
exercises, and said parents of all
the miirtibeirs had given their con-
sent.
When the students arrived at
Mt. Healthy airport clad in white
jumpers and helmets, Sheriff's
deputies announced that none
could jump unless he were
21, and had previous experience
"Why for goodness sakes!" ex-
claimed Dorothy Jean McCourt
14, we've been studying how to
jump for months, and we've all
passed written examinations on
how to jump and how to open the
'chutes and maneuver them while
we are coming down. There's
nothing to it."
Glinzak telephoned the Depart-
ment of Commerce and obtained
permission. Then, because it wa?
late and only one parachute
available only five members won
their "diplomas."

free people, themselves tolerant
and reasonable and keenly alive to
tha necessity of maintaining the
instrumentalities fo rthe impartial
determination of controversies."
Hughes' words were his most
outspoken since the court contro-
versy deevloped.
The earlier part of his speech
was devoted to an eulogy of Elihu
Root, who died recently, as a great
leader of the bench and bar in na-
tional and international affairs.
Root, he said employed a method
of marshalling "the forces of in-
telligence" to meet any specific
need in a "sensible fashion."
"Through the use of this meth-
od," Hughes said, "he had faith—
an abiding faith—that the com-
petency of mankind to govern it-
self through Democratic institu-
tions could be vindicated."
Hughes spoke in an atmosphere
of enthusiasm before a gathering
of notables which packed the gild-
ed ballroom of the Mayflower Ho-
tel.
His entrance was marked by ap-
plause which lasted several min-
utes. He was introduced by George
Wharton Pepper, president of the
Institute, as it opened its 15th an-
nual meeting.
Pepper's tribute to Hughes as a
"faithful and distinguished public

made the amount will be suffi-
cient to keep 850,000 yopths in
the 2,000 camps we now have,"
he said.
