we * LAUGHTON, HEPBURN AND WPLAGLEN ARE GREAT ‘35 ACTORS Shirley Temple and Freddie Bartholomew Placed in Classes by Themselves BY ROBIN COONS (Associated Press Staff Writer) Hollywood, Calif, Dec. 17—()—In my opinion, the three outstanding performers in American films in 1935 ‘were Katherine Hepburn, Victor Mc- Laglen and Charles Laughton. Also in my opinion—the three best. films were: “The Informer,” “Les|game refuges, Miserables,” and “A Tale of Two Cities.” In a class by itself, among pictures, Jet me rank “Sequoia,” Chester Frank- lin’s story of friendship between a deer and a mountain lion. In a class by herself, among play- ers, is Shirley Temple. Likewise I would dispose of Freddie Bartholomew and his portrayal of the young David Copperfield. It is not fair, in my opinion, to pit adult play- ers against such competition in com- parisons, Miss Hepburn, is selected for her characterization in “Alice Adams,” IT name Victor McLaglen for his Gyppo Nolan in “The Informer.” Charles Laughton gets my bow for Miserables,” Captain Bligh in “Mu- tiny on the Bounty,” and “Ruggles of Red Gap.” 12 MONTHS OF DIRE WEATHER FORECAST 7 Longe Range Predicter Sees Severe Drouth, Dust Storms, Crop Failure Chicago, Dec. 17.—(#)—Twelve months of dixe weather were charted for 1936 Tuesday by Selby Maxwell, astronomer-meteorologist who reads storm warnings at long range in the shadow of the moon. Working with a formula he guards as a U. 8, naval secret, Maxwell pre- dicted the new year will bring in the order named: Severe drouth; heavy dust storms; a probable crop failure; floods. He could forecast 1937's weather Just as completely, he told the Asso- ciated Press in an interview, but the 1936 bad news is enough for one shot. He invited skeptics to check up on his weather may for the next 12 months: For January and February, pre- cipitation above normal; March, April, May, drouth; June and July. severe drouth. and summer due to the dry weather, and @ crop failure is likely; in Aug- ‘ust, September October, November December, heavy rains will be follow- ed by floods. RAINFALL MAKES UP FOR LONG °34 DROUTH Washington, Dec. 17.—(#)—Exces- sive rainfall this year in virtually all the sections hit hard by last year’s long drouth more than made up the deficiency in moisture brought about by the dry weather, Joseph B. Kincer, agricultural me- teorologist of the weather bureau, pointed out Tuesday that most of last year’s drouth stricken sections had been favored this year with rainfall beyond normal, in most instances from 25 to 50 per cent above. In some sections there was too much rainfall, especially in spring and early summer, causing floods and serious crop damage. That was par- ticularly true in the great central valleys.

A state park ‘system that extends from the Badlands in southwestern North Dakota to the Turtle river near Grand Forks is getting well under way, Russell Reid, superintend- ent of the State Historical reports to Gov. Walter Welford. The parks, under development with CCC labor and supervised by the National Parks service and state of-|_ ficials, will contain wild life areas, camp and picnic grounds, bridle trails, good roads and primitive areas, while historic sites in all of them will be preserved, the governor said. In addition, much work has been Mid in city parks throughout the si te “The state park system now being developed will give us fine recreation areas; it will attract visitors from| outside the state; it is already giving the state valuable advertising in oher parts of the country and it will pre- serve for posterity the beauty spots and sites of -historic interest that; otherwise might have been lost for- ever,” Governor Welford declared. Peace Garden Elaborate ‘The International Peace Garden three roles: Inspector Javert in “Les/near Dunseith is the most elaborate of the parks in the system. Others include North Roosevelt state park near Watford City, the South Roose- velt park near Medora, the Grand Forks state park near Larimore and Fort Lincoln state park near Man- dan. Work is continuing through the winter months, At @ recent survey of the Grand Forks state park on the Turtle river plans were considered for wild life protection and feeding. “The Grand Forks park has a large area that might well be devoted to! wild life,” Reid told the governor. “A game refuge is under consideration there, and also a nature trail com- bined with native arboretum. This arboretum will be of value to the people of the state and especially co the University of North Dakota, which now uses the park for a study of wild life areas.” Site for a dam has been tentatively selected and a topographic survey completed, but work on the dam will not be started until after the first of the year. Park Road Built At North Roosevelt state park a road has been constructed from High- way 85 to Squaw creek, where picnic grounds have been developed. Ulti- mately the main objective of the park road is the Sperati Point area, Mr. Reid said. The Chaloner Creek and Cedar canyon areas will be ac- cessible only by horse trail. “Horseback riding is @ popular means of. transportation in this Bad Lands park,” Reid told the governor, “and certain areas can be made ac- Dust’storms will fly in the spring|cessible with horse trails that could |tched closely. not be approached by road. Work has already been started in the Chaloner creek and Cedar canyon areas with construction of five miles of horse trail. With development of the Squaw creek area the first step in the pro- gram has been accomplished. The park now is open to the picnicker and the one-day traveler. During the en- suing months development of the Sperati Point area will provide more permanent accomodations for the over-night visitors. “This park is located on the main lines of travel from the east to Yel- lowstone and Glacier National parks. With constant improvement in transportation, and the increase of leisure these great playgrounds of the nation are constantly being more used. Obviously, we do not attempt to compete with these national parks, but we are endeavoring to make the Badlands the most interesting stop- over for those coming from the. east.” Cold Hampers Work 2 Cold weather has delayed work at the South Roosevelt state park, but various roads and considerable land- scaping has been completed, a report from Medora indicated. A shelter- house is being built of cedar shakes and various other projects are under way. The International Peace Garden, half of which is in Canada, will be left. largely in its natural state. Only the land bordering on the interna- tional line is being highly developed horticulturally. The architect's plan for the formal part is almost the shape of a Celtic cross. The Canada- to-Canal highway forms the eastern boundary of the garden area. C.

FOUR GOVERNORS OF CALLES FACTION OUT Mexican Government Accuses Quartet of Abetting Sedi- tious Activities Mexico City, Dec. 17.—()—After taking precautions to prevent any armed uprising or other retaliatory action, Mexican government officials made it known Tuesday that the sen- ate has ousted four state governors considered to be followers of former president Plutarco Elias Calles. These governors were accused of supporting General Calles in alleged seditious activities. By unanimous vote; the senate de- clared the legal powers of the states of Sonora, Sinaloa, Durango, and Guanajuato “to have disappeared,” thus unseating Ramon Ramos, Dr. Manuel Paez, Carlos Real, and Manuel Yanez Maya, the respective governors of those states. ‘The action was taken Monday night but, apparently in order to forestall the possible organization of a rebel- ious movement the government for- bade circulation of the news outside the capital until Tuesday morning. No announcement was made of the steps taken, but it was reported the federal garrisons in the capitals of the four states had been reinforced and that the former governors were being Bowman High School Clubs Give Operetta Bowman, ¥.

The ninth United States circuit court of appeals reversed a Seattle district court ruling Monday and or- dered KVOS be restrained “from broadcasting Associated Press news until the period of material damage to member newspapers is ended. The court declared KVOS’ practice constituted “unfair competition . . . and unconscionably injured news- Paper members in performing a public function and legitimate business. The appellate tribunal said the sta- tion cannot broadcast AP news dur- jing the period following publication when “the broadcasting of the pirated jnews to KVOS’ most remote auditors may damage the member papers’ busi- ness of procuring or maintaining their ‘subscriptions gnd advertising.” Cites Constitution The opinion further said “the first ‘amendment of the federal constitution has recognized the public function of ithe press in the provision for its free- dom. While no constitutional question is here involved, this constitutional recognition emphasized the excep- tional character of the right which is sought to be protected in a federal court sitting in equity. ... “It is proper to say the Associated ‘Press is seeking protection not only of its legitimate business but also its discharge of @ public function of fund- amental value and importance.” Point Out Business Elements Discussing the station’s “newspaper of the air” the decision said “common ‘sense compels us to agree with the Associated Press that the purloining of fresh news and its broadcast are ,both elements of @ business of publi- cation for profit.” Appropriation of~‘hot” news by the jstation produces an “obvious ten- dency” to lessen circulation and adver- tising income of member papers, the jcourt said. “We are unable to see any theory under which such @ diversion of ad- vertising income from Associated (Press) papers to KVOS, with its in- cidental destruction to subscribed in- come, can be called anything but un+ fair competition.” ‘Laurence J.

E ORVILLE WRIGHT Cass Taxpayer Case Pondered by Englert Fargo, N. D., Dec. 17.—(#)—District Judge M. J. Englert of Valley City Tuesday held under advisement the arguments on a demurrer to an ac- tion brought by taxpayers against Cass county officers. Plaintiffs demand an injunction against collection of all the proposed road and bridge levies and a portion of the general levy. They charge the county commission failed to list anti- cipated collections from other levies while making its budget. Collections from the state gasoline tax, automobile license tax, and mis- levies, plus the cash on hand, will amount to more than the road and bridge appropriation of ap- proximately $162,000, they charge.
