It is one that |many other players would have been lhapp\ to have. It is closely and |definitely tied to modern American |conditions. The role, and the pie- /ture as a whole, will provide mil- \lions of people with food for thought ‘and inspire them to take an ac- (tive part in the destiny of their |country as well as themselv i “The President’s Mystery istory of an average American town un which the people become desper- fate through unemployment. How ‘they organize a cooperative move- ment to reopen a closed factory and provide their families with food has been made into a thought-com- pelling sereen play. The story, sug- gested, by President Roosevelt him- self was written for Liberty Maga- e by such noted authors as Ru- pert Hughes, Samuel Hopkins Ad- ams, Anthony Abbott, Rita Wei- man, 8. S. Van Dine, and John Ers- kine. The legend of the Mission of San Xavier, which was immortalized by Harold Bell Wright in his story of “The Mine With the Iron Door," springs fo life anew and with vivi- fied appeal in Columbia’s picturi- zation of the Wright novel which opened yesterday at the Coliseum Theatre. The modern story, based upon one of the most romantic legends of the early West, tells of a young |American who is victimized by a slick promoter into buying some worthless Arizona property. With the aid of a dumb detecitve, he learns that the legendary Mine With the Iron Door supposedly is located on that property. The two form a strange partnership and ‘se( out in quest of the buried treas- |ure. | Adventures, both thrilling and hu- morous, befall them as they follow| one clue after another In their search for the Mine. But éventu- ally they locate it in the pictur- esque Canada del Oro (Canyon of Gold) in which most of the action| is laid. ———— . change of Plea Is Denied Case of Farnsworth Former Naval Officer Can- i not Plead Innocente in Japan Conspiracy Case WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. — John S. Farnsworth, former lieutenant commander in the United States Navy, charged with conspiring to sell naval secrets to Japan lost his | motion * to withdraw his plea by which he threw himself on the mercy of the Court. Federal Judge James Proctor de- nied the motion by which Farns- worth would have withdrawn his plea of nolo contendere made last week and entered a new plea of in- !nocence. | At the time of making his mo- |tion to withdraw his first plea, | Farnsworth told newspaper men {that he had been told that if he (threw himself on the mercy of {the Court he might get off with a |thc sentence but “conviction for itreason” was nothing to laugh off. “When this thing comes to trial jthere will be a lot of things aired in Court that will hurt some peo- ple’s feelings,” he said at the time. Sentence will be passed on Farns- worth Friday.

Henderson Income Tax Deduction for Interest Is Allowed in Making Annual Statement Amounts paid or accrued within he taxable year 1936 as interest m indebtedness are deductible, with certain exceptions, from gross income in determining net income. Such items include interest on bor- ' owed money to defray personal ex- © senses, and on money borrowed for he purchase of real or personal property If a person owes money on a lien or mortgage note on his home, the amount of the interest may be de- ducted. Indebtedness, however, need not be evidenced by lien, judgment, or mortgage to make the interest on it deductible. Frequently indebt- edness is evidenced only by a note. Interest paid on indebtedness in- curred in the purchase of obliga- tions (other than obligations of the United States issued after Septem- ter 24, 1917, and originally sub- ribed for by the taxpayer), the interest upon which is wholly ex- empt from Federal inconfe tax, i not deductible. Interest paid on loans on life insurance policies is deductible provided the amount of the loan is not used for the purposes previously referred to in this para- graph. Interest paid on behalf of a friend or relative where there is no legal obligation on the part of the payor is not deductible. In such cases the amount is the same as a gift. As interest paid is deductible, so interest received is taxable. All such amounts, including interest re- ceived on bank and savings de- posits, must be included in the tax- payer’s return of gross income.
