Views Sent to South .Pole, Where Father Is With Expedition. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. November 22 will mark the end of an eventful year for Malcolm Hanson, jr, son of Lieut. Malcolm Hanson, chief radio engineer for the Byrd ex- pedition to the South Pole. It has been an eventful year for Malcolm, jr., for many reasons, but the principal one is that it has been his first year on old Mother Earth, bring- ing with it many experiences. So many thrilling events have mark- ed the passage of time since Malcolm first saw the light of day in Providence Hospital last year that it would be difficult for him to tell you, even if he could boast a more extensive vocab- ulary than “Mamma”—"Daddy,” just what he considered the outstanding event of the year. But in all probabili- ty he would tell you it was when he made his debut in moving pictures during the past late Summer. In September, while Malcolm was visiting relatives of his daddy with his mother at Lake Oconomowac, Wis., a special group of movie men were sent u; tilke him while actively engaged at play. Scenes in Apple Orchard. Scenes were “shot” of Malcolm in an | apple orchard, testing out the strength of his seven teeth on one of Wiscon- sin’s finest apples. Other views showed the young man playing with a pet dog, and being conducted down & pine-bor- dered walk by his mother. In all, 300 feet of fiim were taken and sent down to the South Pole, the reel to receive its first release before Malcolm's daddy and a group of admiring friends. The “movie” of Malcolm, jr., will be Lieut. Hanson’s first glimpse of his son in ac- tion, for although numerous photo- graphs have been sent to the South Pole since Malcolm's birthday a year ago, MALCOLM HANSON, JR. —=Star Staff Photo. likely that Malcolm will make the ac- quaintance of his dad for at least an- other six months. Mother Is Proud, Mrs. Hanson, who is now residing at 6301 Florida street, Chevy Chase, Md., tells you proudly that Malcolm has been a perfect son. Not only has he been a very good baby, but he has al- ready given evidences of a sclentific mind. “I have to watch him all the time,"” sald Mrs. Hanson, “to see that he doesn’t harm the radio. The other day I came into the dining room, where the radio is attached to a floor plug, and Malcolm had pulled out the wire, broken it apart and was examining it with keenest interest.” “Why, even when he was a tiny baby, several months ago, I could always make him stop crying by rolling his carriage close to the radio to listen to the broad- casting.” Malcolm already has received his own personal radio from nis father. Last week a message arrived from the South Pole addressed to Master H. P. Han- son, jr. It read as follows: “You bet daddy love you. Be a little man and take care yourself and your father and son have never met and from the look of things now, it is not mother till my return. Hug and kisses for you both.

One of the most spectacular sights ever screened Is that of the vast throngs gathered in Rome, Italy, to hail Mus- solini on the seventh Fascistl birth- day. The scenes will be shown in The Even Star Universal Newsreel which opens and other theaters of the city today. A tremendous crowd of 100,000 per- sons jammed the Piazza Venezia to overflowing in the celebration of the famous “March on Rome.” Mussolini’s arrival at the “Stand of Honor” was the occasion for one of the wildest demonstrations ever displayed. President Hoover and Ambassador Dawes play stellar roles in the reel when they receive the official button of the Red Cross, being the first to enroll for the annual drive. Senator Brookhart Shown. Senatcr Brookhart is shown going be- fore the grand jury at Washington, where he tells the members all about the alleged drinking party in which aenl"zosrl are sald to have taken part 1926. Another notable personage in the newsreel is Ramsay Macdonald, who arrived in Liverpool after his visit to the United States. He was greeted on his homecoming at No, 10 Downing street by a typical London fog. Reminiscent scenes of Armistice day are shown, with the battle at the front, with bursting bombs and exploding shells and wreck and havoc, and finally the boys marching home. ‘There is an Interesting scene of the workshop in the Old Men's Home in Philadelphia, where the inmates make toys for children for Christmas and where the work is now being speeded up for the holidays. College Boys’ Whiskers. College boys with whiskers are some- thing of a novelty in these days, but the students of Indiana University at Bloomington are wearing them. They call them “loyalty whiskers,” as the stu- dents have vowed not to shave until their team wins a foot ball game. While Wall street prices were crash- ing there was a boost in the price of lumber in the Northwest, 8,000,000 feet of logs being shipped from the logging camps of Cedar Falls, Wash,, to satisfy the demand. The logs are cut and loaded on cars and dumped into a stream that carries them to the mill, as shown in the news reel. ‘There is a spectacular fire at Ozone Park, N.

Smoot’s stion, however, side- of the Norris propo- sition. During his discussion of Smoot's Pro- Borah said that if the coalition were to “measure up” to its faith in the flexible clause as rewritten it would in| seek to preserve it from elimination in conference. “We can only do that by speedily passing the bill on to those who will be responsible for destroying it, if it's destroyed,” he added. Senator Simmons said he did not believe there would be any prolonged discussion of amendments from now on, as the coalition largely had made up its mind how it was going to vote. He predicted the bill would be passed by Senate before the special session e xpires. “I hope so, at least,” he said, adding the revision must be done in the open and not by suppression of discussion. Contending the opposition amend- ment restoring to Congress the power now held by the Executive to change customs dutles after investigation by the Tariff Commission was of “ines- timable importance,” Simmons said Congress could revise tariffs under it as quickly as under the flexible clause. At the same time he said a method had been provided to safeguard the Tariff Commission against influences that have operated in the past to preju- dice its actions. f of the two weeks which Presl- dent Hoover said he hoped would see the tariff bill sent to conference had expired today as the Senate resumed consideration of the measure with work on less than one-fifth of the schedules completed. Debate embraced remaining para- graphs of the third of 15 rate sched- ules, although three of the six wszks that were left of the special session when rate revision was hegun on Oc- tober 21 had passed. The regular ses- sion of Congress will convens Decem- ber 2. ‘Whereas at the outset of considera- tion of levies all sides were generally agreed that action on the bill should be completed by November 20, little hope is now held that the bill will be ready for conference befcre the special session ends. Expectations were that the balanze of amendments to the metals classific: tion, with the exception of the im: portant watches and clocks paragraphs, deferred until Monday, would be dis- posed of toda: ‘While prospects have dimmed for a final vote by the end of the extraordi- nary session, leaders of the House have expressed an intention of standing by until the December session, if necessary, to consider the measure. Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut, the Republican floor leader, has received assurances from leaders .of Democratic - Independent - Repub- lican coalition that the bill will be passed by the Senate before the Decem- ber session. On the other hand, admin- istration leaders of the Senate have told him a bill in that time is virtually impoesible. Action yesterday brought adoption by the Senate of more than a score of amendments. In complete possession of the bill, the coalition brushed aside the resistance of the administration group and continued its assault upon pro- posed flnance committee increases. Some of the reductions approved, however, have been proposed by ihe committee Republicans. A cut in the tariff on automobiles and motor cycles from 25 to 10 per cent was adopted and elimination of the countervailing clause of the present law which permits this country to meet all increases imposed by foreign countries on American cars, was approved. ‘ ——————— BAND CONCERT.

PARIS, November 9.—The *Prench Chamber of Deputies today twice voted confidence in the new government of Andre Tardieu by a greater majority {than its fondest friends had hoped. The poll was 327 to 256, a majority of 71, on the first ballot, when the So- cialists sought to amend the govern- ment’s motion of confidence; the ma- jority was increased to 79, by a vote of 332 to 263, when the confidence motion | itself was put bzfore the Chamber. The two votes followed a speech by Aristide Briand, foreign minister and| former premier, and & discussion of cabinet policy by the premier himself. M. Briand closed his defense of his foreign policies with the shouted perora- tion: “The French Nationalists have at- tacked me. The French Hugenbergs have wished to overthrow me. Erz- berger, Rathenau and Stresemann were likewise suspected in Germany because they sought to improve Germany's re- lations with France. “Erzberger and Rathenau were as- | sassinated. Stresemann died at his desk. Must I die to prove my sincerity?” Promise on Evacuation. M. Tardieu promised that evacuation of the Rhineland, set for June 30, 1930, would not occur unless the Young plan for reparations was in full operation. . Briand informed the Chambe that the German government had as- sured France that “the question of the Young plebiscite would be settled before the end of December and by that time all necessary legislative dispositions for putting the Young plan into execution would have been voted by the Reichs- tag.” -{t was 5:10 am. today when the Chamber, which had been continuously in session since early yesterday, ad- urned to meet again Tuesday. Then, compliance with the wishes of the government, it will begin work on the national budget. M. Tardieu is deter- mined to pass the budget before the end | of the year. Plans Food Show A. 8.
