Officials of the Paramount studios announced Monday night they had granted her request for a release from her contract éxtending to next Octo- ber and calling for two more pictures. Whether the girl who gave a new meaning to the word “it” will ever be seen again in the films remained problematical. An exchange of ameni- ties accompanied the termination o! her six-year association with Para- mount—an association punctuated with numerous tempestuous events which culminated recently in 3 nerv- ous breakdown which was given as the real reason for the severance of relations. In a letter notifying her the con- tract had been “torn up” to aid her recovery of health, B. P. Schulberg, general manager for Paramount said, “I know your career on the screen is not at an end and that you wili go on from this point to greater triumphs.” Miss Bow, expressing appreciation for the friendly spirit marking the dissolution of the contract and grati- tude for conditions which would per- mit her to regain her health more quickly, said she had no plans for which her physician seni her collapse on a motion picture lot, and at her Beverly Hills paring to leave the latt week for her Nevada ranch for a pe- | lice, viod of final recuperation.

It was delivered by Count de Vec-} chi, the Italian ambassador, to Card- ner Pacelli, the papal secretary of state. ‘ Archbishop Borgongini Duca, papal nuncio, met the ambassador at the vatican and the three statesmen con- ferred for more than an hour. Italy’s reply to the pope was said to inelude answer to several points raised by the vatican regarding in- sults to the pontiff and demanding punishment of those guilty, repara- tions for alleged violation of extra- territoriality and an explanation for the closing of the Catholic clubs. Its exact terms were not disclosed | but the intimation that its tone was one of conciliation came from a thor- oughly -responsible source.

DISCUSSED! London, June 9.—(#)—The possi- bility of suspension of debt payments to the United States occupied a large part Tuesday in newspaper specula- tion over the results of a week-end conference between German and British officials. The Daily Mail featured a dispatch from the Vossiche Zeitung of Berlin Predicting that the Reich would de- mand postponement of the “defer- able” payments of the Young plan as soon as Chancellor Heinrich Bruen- ing and Foreign Minister Jufius Cur- tius return from their conference with British officals. On the basis of that the Mail predicted Germany might suspend reparations payments next fall. If this occurs, the Mail said, France and Italy might feel obliged to sus- pend payments to the United States on their war debts and Great Britain would be placed in a difficult position in the same connection. The possibility of calling for a gen- eral suspension of payments to the United States in the event of Ger- many’s default is occupying the minds of European statesmen, the paper said, and “it is abundantly evident that a grave new economic issue is arising.” Informed quarters are increasingly convinced shat the promise of “inter- national collaboration” at Chequers andthe goming visit of Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson and Andrew 'W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, foreshadow a concerted move on the part of all nations to review the gen- eral subject of war debts and repara- tions. The political situation in France and the economic status of Great Britain and Germany, it is believed, necessitate caution, and official ac- tion will be held in abeyance until the purpose of the American states- men’s visit is definitely determined. Significance is attached to Chan- cellor Bruening’s statement before the Anglo-German association Monday that he hoped the Chequers meeting would be “not an isolated act but a new milestone in the development of | international understanding.” MINNESOTA ROBBER GANG IS SENTENCED Three Plead Guilty in Crooks- ton to Burglaries in North- ern Part of State Crookston, Minn., June 9—(P)}— Three confessed members of a north- western Minnesota robber gang who types of the synthetic resins which form the base of these molding compounds are available already. They are soon to be ta- miliar to us in furniture, in wall Panels, and even in molded doors, in addition to a multitude of smaller products from ash trays to tableware, and in every vari- ety of brilliant color. For the most part the seproducts are of the combination of formaldehyde, which is a pungent gas, with such diverse materials as carboiic acid, glycerine, urea, and even sugar. Chemists also have been doing surprising things with both pe- troleum and rubber.

During Heyday of Nonpartisan League MARGIN IS OVERWHELMING Mayor-Elect Accused of Favor- ing ‘Townleyism’ During Bitter Campaign Minneapolis, June 9.—(4}—Minne- apolis voters for the second time in the city’s history, Monday elected a labor-indorsed candidate for mayor. William A. Anderson, an attorney and former North Dakotan, won an Overwheling victory over George E. Leach, former mayor, in the municip- al election. Complete unofficial re- turns gave Anderson a margin of 27,- 859 votes uver his opponent. Ander- son had 73,972, and Leach 45,218, Anderson, who has practiced law here for 17 years, was picked by labor organizations to make the race at the primary, when he led eight candi- dates. He is chairman of the Farmer- Labor state central committee. In 1919 Anderson was appointed secretary of the North Dakota state industrial commission and two years later he became assistant state attor- ney general in North Dakota. He re- turned to Minneapolis in 1922. Because of his connection with the industrial commission, Anderson was attacked during the campaign by Leach, who accused the mayor-elect of favoring “Townleyism.” A. C. Townley founded the Nonpartisan League which sponsored state-owned industries in North Dakota. Ander- son denied the charges. Minneapolis’ first labor mayor was Thomas Van Lear, Socialist, who was the city’s chief executive from 1916 to 1918. He died recently.

R. Watkins Wed Again Because of Di- vorce Entanglement Chicago, June 9—(7)}—The Bam- berger-Watkins baby mix-up, which had a nation guessing last summer, had a sequel Monday night when William R. Watkins and his wife, Margaret, were remarried. When the original puzzle was pub- lished all over the country, the first Mrs. Watkins, picking up a news- Paper in Philadelphia, read about it and claimed Watkins still was her husband.
