HOLLYWOOD (#).—Eleanor Pow- ell, dancing star of the screen, hired a girl to break in her dancing slip- pers for her—two pairs a week. Max- ine Nagel, chorine, got the job. Miss Powell's mother has been doing it for her, but she is going away on a yacation, Huge Comic Figures. A spectacular and new feature of the parade this year were 10 huge comic figures contributed by nine and Manufacturers Association. The figures were made of rubber and in- flated with helium. They were drawn along the avenue by 65 men. The figures included “Willie,” the 14-foot drum major; a fantastic 32- foot, six-legged bug; a vast blue hip- popotamus, a striped cat almost as large, a huge “wobbly” duck, & mon- key and a comic strip cat. One of the biggest rubber elephants ever seen in Washington created considerable comment among politi- cal-minded spectators. It was ex- plained that the committee had tried to get a donkey to offset the elephant, but none was available, Another feature was a float en- tered by The' Star showing a closed voting booth, illustrating the fact that District residents cannot vote in the election. Beside the locked voting | booth was an open office for the collection of taxes. Near the head of the procession rode Frank Portillo, the amateur clown who has participated in Washington celebrations and children’s entertain- ments for years. Portillo was dressed in a clown outfit of his own invention and rode in an automobile marked “Parade Marshal.” He received quite a hand. A float which attracted considerable attention was entered by the Police Boys’ Club. In a boxing ring two young athletes pasted each other for 10 minutes or so while the float waited in front of the reviewing stand, and wrestlers put on a bout from a trailer fitted with a mat and ring. The club also had a harmonica band and a “hill billy” quartet. A political note was struck by a float entered by the Women's City Club. Uncle Sam Jooked on while the traditional donkey and elephant went through their paces. ‘The Elks Boys’ Band got & big ' hand when it marched by behind § Naval Academy’s New Racer " This 72-foot ocean racing schooner, shown the Vamarie, presented to the Naval Academy by “in_action,” is S.

At one time, Brown himself suc- cumbed to the wiles of the hoaxers and announced: “Prince Georges County police. Boys breaking two fireboxes in River- dale. Station WPDW 8:02 pm. That is all” It “was news to Prince Georges County police that there were any fireboxes in their territory.

A striking float entered by Friend- ship House depicted a light house and s surf boat being rowed through realistic waves of some flowing ma- terial. A “horseless carriage” reminiscent of the gay '90s drew considerable ap- plause. There were mounted Indians and cowboys in traditional garb. Other cowboys rolled by on roller skates | strumming guitars. A 3-year-old | George Washington in Colonial at- tire was a favorite with the crowd. High-wheeled bicycles, and others with 6-inch wheels rolled by amid laughter. A float entered by a sea food com- pany drew a roar of appreciation from the crowd. Despite the. chill, a pretty girl in a one-piece bathing suit re- clined between blocks of ice in which lobsters and fish were frozen. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad en- tered an old-fashioned locomotive tender and coach. An ancient buggy swept by trailing the family wash and bearing a sign, “back to the horse and buggy ways” * One large and colorful section of the parade was devoted to playground children from all over the city. Minstrel players sang and danced from a huge float, red devils whirled by on roller skates, the blackbirds which were “baked in a pie” flapped their wings, and the “old woman who lived in & shoe” had more children then she could mange in a Halloween parade. Cinderella’s huge pumpkin coach revealed & pretty girl and her at- tendants, dividing attention with a snake dance of roller skaters in out- landish costumes. One of the most effective stunts was put on by several hundred chil- dren with huge orange-colored boxes pulled over their heads and shoulders. They did a tap dance in unison as they passed the reviewing stand. A police count at Tenth street and Constitution avenue revealed that 2,660 persons participated in the pa- rade. There were 1822 costumed marchers, 160 military marchers, 25 horseback riders, some 550 persons in automobiles and 100 marchiers without costumes. 1t took the parade 1 hour 39 minutes to pass a given point. 3 Line-up of Parade.

By the Associated Press, IRONWOOD, Mich., October 31.— Seven persons drowned after a motor boat overturned in Lake Gogebic to- day, five when & escue boat capsized and plunged them into the water a second time. Mrs. Oscar Hendricks, who rowed a half mile from the shore to pick up the victims, and one of the motor boat Ppassengers were saved. An 11-year-old boy and one of the men had gone down before Mrs. Hendricks could reach them, She helped five men clamber into the rowboat and escaped their fate by clinging to the only life preserver she had brought after her tiny craft tilted over. Three generations perished in the accident. James Halams, jr., his father, a Bessemer School princi- pal, the latter’s brother Frank, 37, and their father Jacob, 71, were among the victims. They set out today with four other men, all school officials and teachers in Bessemer Township, for & pleasure crutse on the lake, 40 miles east of here, in the motor boat of Irl Dule- bohn, 44, of Ramsay, superintendent of Bessemer Township Schools.

By dusk six of the bodies had been recovered, leaving only that of the eldest Halama still to be found. ‘The party set out at 8:30 am. in the large outboard motor boat for & crossing to the east shore of the lake where they had planned to get & hunt- ing lodge in shape for the opemeing of the deer season.

SEESPAYING 20000 SNOOPERS Social Security Act Held Re- quiring Check on 27,- 000,000 Warkers. BY the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 31.—The Re- publican National Committee, attack- ing provisions of the social security act, charged tonight “a quarter of a million well-paid snoopers will begin to pry into the personal records of every American worker” after the act becomes effective January 1. ‘The committee’s statement was re- leased a short time after Arthur J. Altmeyer, acting chairman of the So- cial Security Board, asserted in Wash- ington the board had no intention of seeking information of a “highly personal nature” from working men. Workers to Carry Cards. “Every worker must carry a card— must present it to every new em- ployer,” the committee’s statement sald. “It will contain his entire rec- ord, how many jobs he has had, why he was fired, whether his pay has been attached.” “It's just one of those little de- partures from the American way ine volved in this whole New Deal regi- mentation which Gov. Alf M. Landon proposes to end. * * ¢ “For the privilege of being watched the wage earner must begin January 1 to pay 1 per cent of his weekly wage to the Government, and the rate will be gradually increased until he pays 3 per cent of his wages. Dur- ing this time the employer will be matching the payments of the work~ ers so that the wage tax eventually will be 6 per cent. 27,000,000 Regular Reports, “The intimate detalls of the history of every man and woman have always been considered secret and no poli« tician has ever had the right to snoop or pry into them,” the statement cone tinued. “But under this plan 27,000,000 working men and women will have to report to bureaucratic agencies and tell all.” Answering an earlier statement along the same line, made by Harrie son E. Spangler, executive vice chair- man of the Republican National Committee, Altmeyer said specifically the board would seek no information concerning a worker’s church or labor affiliation, whether he has been di~ vorced. and other information Spane gler said would be required.
