SATURDAY, JUL M'SS HAYES P'.ANS End of Suit Brings Smile " EIROEAN TRP Actress and Husband Will Go on Vacation to Forget Alienation Suit. B3 the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 4.—Helen Hayes and Charles MacArthur locked to a European vacation today for relief from their trying roles in a serio- comic drama based on the old eternal triangle. They are free to return to New York ‘and later croas the Atlantic after the $100,000 alienstion of af- fections suit brought by Carol Prink, first wife of the playwright, against Miss Hayes, his present spouse, had been dismissed in Olrcuit Court yes- terday. There were three days of hearings. Hilarity rivaling that of the “front page” play MacArthur helped write ruled the second session. The finals closed in a display of tears. Miss Prink, drama ecritic for a Chicago newspaper, whose 1920 mar- riage to MacArthur ended in a 1926 divorce, was on the witness stand for cross-examination. Defense Coun- sel J. F. Reeve swept his arm toward the defendant and her husband— married in 1928—and asked: “Do you wish them happiness?” “yes” The blond witness' eyes moistened. MacArthur and his actress wife studied the floor. A recess was or- dered. Judge Dismisses Case. Attorneys agreed on a non-suit.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 4—A halt dozen persons were beaten, one wam- an’s clothing was ripped off and win- dows were broken from a dozen auto- mobiles late yesterday in a fight at the entrance to the Norwood piant of Remington-Rand, Inc., where a strike is in progress. Police said a crowd of about 500 persons gathered at the entrance when some 230 employes, who returned to work yesterday under protection of a court injunction, left for the night. As they drove out the gates in au- tomobiles, members of the crowd started hurling stones and iron bolts.

It was late last night when he fin- ished work on his address. But he was up early and after an inviting Southern breakfast, was on his way | to the famous old home of the third President of the United States. Mr. Roosevelt was greatly impressed with all he saw on his visit yesterday to the Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline drive which runs along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains comprising the park area. He talked sbout it frequently during the motor ride from the park to Charlottesville. He was loud in his praise of the several C. C.

They paid more attention to the speeches and other incidents of the exercise than they did to chatting with each other.

After ‘waving and cheering the children sang a song in honor of the President to the tune of “Tammany.” National Park Dedicated. Describing the Shenandoah Nation- 4] Park as part of a program of the “joint husbandry of our human re- sources and our natural resources,” President Roosevelt yesterday dedi- cated the 180,000-acre tract amid the peaks of the Blue Ridge. From a stand in a natural amhi- theater 3,500 feet above sea level, the Chief Executive reviewed the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps in de- veloping the huge tract and declared: “In by-gone years we have seen the terrible tragedy of our age—the Gragedy of waste.

Similar Needs Cited. “In almost every other part of the country there is & similar need for recreational areas for parkways which will give to men and women of moderate means the opportunity, the invigoration and the luxury of touring and camping amid scenes of great | natural beauty. would be provided for establishing na- | tional parks in the East comparable to those in the West. After a friendly reference to former | President Herbert Hoover for adding his Rapidan Camp to the Shenan- doah Park acreage, Ickes recalled that the Federal policy of requiring dona- tions of almost all the land for new | national parks made it especially dif- | ficult to establish them in the East. Describing the development of great recreational areas as ‘“one of the real accomplishments of the present administration,” Gov. George C. Peery pictured the cloud-capped moun- tains of the Shenandoah National Park as a “benefit and a blessing to millions of worn and weary Americans.” Its accessibility to the great centers of population of the East, its nat- ural advantages as a recreation area satisfy the needs of the “crowded people of the cities who have so long yearned for the great outdoors, the wide spaces, for mountain views and mountain breezes.” EXPLORER'S VILLAGE SITE HELD LOCATED Verendrye Camp Spot, Long Sought by Historians, Is ‘Posi- tively” Identified. My the Assoclated Press. BISMARCK, N. Dak,, July 4—Dis- covery of the long-sought Mandan Indian village site visited by Sieur de la Verendrye, first white explorer known to have entered the Missouri Valley nearly 200 years ago, was claimed today. Walter D. Powell, Fargo, declared he had' “positively” located it north of Menoken, 15 miles east of Bis- marck. After investigating Powell's find- ings George Will, director and vice president of the North Dakota His- tually no doubt” that the site was the place . visited by Verendrye in December, 1738. i 1 believe it is the location we have been seeking for 30 years,” he said. Russell Reid, superintendent of the State historical society, stated it was never “quite satisfied” with the spot near Sanish, which has been credited as stopping point of the French ex- piorer. Although a national monument to Verendrye has been erected on Crow High Butte south of Sanish, attempts will be made by the society to have the new site designated a State park, Will said, Women Wear Ethiopia Maps. Women of Rome are adopting the latest fashion in Italy, light coats on which is printed the map of Ethiopis. The names of all the important cities and towns are given, while small sketches cleverly show the flora and fauns of each district. It was symbolic that Thomas Jefferson should live on this moun- tain-top of Monticelle. On & mountain-top all paths unite, and Jefferson was & meeting point of all the vital forces of his day. There are periods of history when one man seems great because those who stand beside him are small. Jefferson was great in the presence of many great and free men. When we read of the pa- triots of 1776 and the Fathers of the Constitution. we are taken into the presence of men who caught the fire of greatness from one an- other and all became elevated above the common run of man- The source of their greatness was the stirring of a new sense of freedom. They were tasting the first fruits of self-government and freedom of conscience. They had broken away from a system of peasantry, from indentured servi- tude. They could build for them- selves & new economic independ- ence. Theirs were not the gods of things as thev were, but the gods of things as they ought to be. They used new means and new models to build new structures. Knowledge and Ideals Were Fuel for Fertile Mind. Of all these builders of the Re- public, it is perhaps generally con- ceded that Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson possessed what may be roughly described as the most fertile minds. Franklin was stranger to no acience, to no theory of philosophy, to no avenue of in- vention. Jefferson had these qualities in equal part; and with greater opportunity in the days of peace which followed the revolu- tion, Jefferson was enabled more fully to carry theory into practice. Farmer, lawyer, mechanic, scien- tist, architeet, philosopher, states- man, he encompassed the full scope of the knowledge of his time and his life was one of rich di- versity. To him knowledge and ideals were fuel to be used to feed the fires of his own mind, not just wood to be left neatly piled in the wood box. More than any historic home in America, Monticello appeals to me a8 an expression of the personality of its bullder. In the design, not alone of the whole, but of every room and every part thereof, in the very . furnishings which Jef- ferson devised on his own drawing board and made in his own shop, there speaks ready capacity for de- tail and, above all, creative genius. He was a great gentleman. He was & great commoner. The two are not incompatible. Passion for Liberty Led Him to Aid Mankind. He applied the culture of the past to the needs and life of the America of his day. His knowledge of history spurred him to inquire into the rea- son and justice of laws, habits and institutions, His passion for liberty led him to interpret and adapt them a:dfi to better the lot of man- Shortly before taking office as President of the United States he Wroté to & friend, “I have sworn on the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” His life served bondage imposed on it by ignorance, poverty and political and religious intoleranece. July, 1776. On that day Thomas Jeflerson was 33 years old. His | imagination, his enthusiasm and his energy, the qualities that youth of- fers in every generation, were sym- bolic of that whole generation of men who not only made a Nation in the wealth of their imagination and energy, but, because their youthful wings had not been clipped, were able to grow with the | Nation and guide it in wisdom | throughout their lives.

As Nations go, we live under one of the oldest continuous forms of democratic Government in the wigole world. In this sense we are 5 | But the world has never had as | much human ability as it needs, | and a modern democracy in partic- | ular needs. above all things, the continuance of the spirit of youth. Our problems of 1936 call as greatly | for the continuation of imagination and energy and capacity for re- sponsibility as did the age of Thomas Jefferson and his fellows. Democracy needs now, .as it { found then, men developed to the limit of their capacity, through education, for ultimate responsi- bility. Emergencies and decisions in our individual community and national lives are the stuff out of which national character is made. Preparation of the mind and spirit of our people for such emergencies and decisions is the best available insurance for the security and de- velopment of our democratic in- stitutions. Power to Re-light Sacred Fire Still Retained. Was the spirit of such men as Jefferson the spirit of & golden age gone now and never to be repeated in our history? Was the feeling of fundamental freedom which lighted the fire of their ability a miracle | we shall never see again? That is not my belief.

Referring to a letter the plaintiff had written MacArthur after they had separated, Reeve inquired: “You hoped some good. simple woman would devote herself to | Charlie?” “I was trying to be sporting.” “Do you think some good woman has devoted herself to him?” “I don't know how good Miss Hayes is. I certainly know she's not simple. I would call her sophisticated. She is worldly. She has spent much of her life on Broadway.” “Do you think it impossible for some one on Broadway to be a good, simple woman?” “I don’ think Miss Hayes would like | to be called that, but, if you think | she would, I'll say it. If you want me to say that I wish them to be happy, I'll say that, toc. I wish every- body happiness.” LEGISLATOR TO RENEW FIGHT ON FILM BOOKING by Lhe Associated Press. Representative Pettengill, Democrat, of Indiana said yvesterday he would renew at the next Congress a fight for legislation to regulate so-called | “block booking” and “blind selling” of | motion picture films. Proponents of the legislation con- | tend that by preventing distributors from forcing local show houses to buy undesirable films in order to obtain a few good pictures the class of showings would be improved. Pettengill said in a statement in a post-session issue of the Congressional Record that “the mere introduction of the bill and the battle that was progr made for it has unquestionably had a good effect on the motion picture in- dustry.” July 4 Program Tonight | | | | eventa.
