MAHATMA MAY STOP CAMPAIGN ON STARVATION Believed Comp romise Is| Reached in Separ- ate Electorate POONA, India, Sept. 21.—Indian political leaders, visiting Mahatma Gandhi, believed the hunger strike ended as soon as they talked to him of a compromise on the com- munal elections questions which precipitatéd his campaign of star- vation.

Hollywood Ponders Question Jean Harlow, platinum blond terrupted temporarily when her of the films, whose career was in- husband, Paul Bern, committed suicide, will finish the picture, “Red Dust,” which she was making at the time of the tragedy. But Hollywcod wonders what the future holds for her. By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Sept. 21.— What's to become of Jean Harlow now? Next ic solution of the mystery | elements in the apparent suicide of her husband, Paul Bern, that is the question that is being de- bated by Hollywood where studio talk -of pictures; -pilayess;-piots-and plans fades into silence before the real-life tragedy that stunned the | town a few days ago. ‘The platinum blonde, silken Jean Harlow, who rose to her greatest fame in a red wig hiding her plat- inum crown, was working on a picture when tragedy struck. The film wis “Red Dust,” and Clark Gable was opposite her as co- star. The picture is going on. For ten days or so the cameras will grind, without her—the *“shoot- ing aroind the star” expedient of- ten used when stars become ill or for another reason cannot work. And at the studio they insist she will be back before the camera, health permitting, to dinish the picture. But will it be the finish |of a spectacularly begun career that day when the last scene of “Red Dust” is made? And was “truth stranger than fiction” forecast on ths screen in Constance Bennet's picture, “What | Price Holllywood?” The situation |in the film in some ways suggests |the plight of Jean Harlow now. Tt is the story of a film star | whose spectacular success was |ended through the suicide in her |home of a director she had be- friended. In the ‘picture gossip | tore at the star until further work on the screen was impossible. The picture, as is usual, had a happy ending. But will Jean Harlow’s tragedy end likewise? And yet, stunned or not, the movie mills grind on as usual Paul Bern, the “good samaritan of Hollywood,” is dead, but pictures have to be made, new stars have {to be found, new stories written. Hollywood, howevér, winds its zest for work diminished now. New York City Mayorship Is Taken to Court NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Mayor Joseph V.

He will be buried here today. % MacDonald’s trail led as far north as the Klondike. Although he made fortune after fortune, he was left stranded on the beach when the boom days subsided.

He, perhaps better than any other scientist, realizes the value of the evidences and remains of ancient civilization that are to be found in the Territory. “In e letter dated September 10, 1932, he invites attention to the desirability of carefully preserving these relics and asks co-operation from all Alaskans, We have in the Territory two museums that are prepared to care for material of this nature.
