Which one did she want to ly with foods that you can-depend . keep? “Oh, keep 'em both” she replied,¥ blandly indifferent to the fact that | getting even one hotel reservation in this town is often an achievement of no little note. “Fhere's no use being crowded.” Renewing her acquaintance with finton Wells, meeting Broderick | Crawford, chatting pleasantly with them, Miss Wong says she’s about over the effects of those recent extortion threats. | It took something of a breakdown at Palm Springs to let all of the | nerves out of her system, she admits, but now all s well. When she first received the threats on her life, she | tightened up inside and didn't let off steam Could have loosened things up by tossing a bit of furni- ture around, she knows, but she was at & friend’s house and felt it would not be proper to toss a friend’s furni- ture about. * ok Kk ok NOW she's going back to work.

But 't agreed with her and she's putting an end to loafing right now with a pair Y of stage appearances—one here at the Capitol and the other in New York. | New York, she likes, because it puts | her in contact with people who are doing things.

She's not different from any other girl, Miss Wong claims, and she doesn't see why she can't be a heroine just once. When she does go back to Holly- wood, however, there will be better things in store. The studio finally | 15 planning to do a series of detective yarns, with Miss Wong on the right side of the law and not the lass who leers around a corner and lures the hero to his doom. It's an idea she's been trying to sell to the studio for a long, long time, and the first scripts, she 8ays, look good. {JUSTICE IS PROMISED FARMERS OF MEXICO By the Assoctated Press. MEXICALI, Lower Calif., May 6.— | Seven thousand small-scale farmers, | encamped about the Governor’s palace | here for nearly two weeks in protest against the government's agrarian | program, awaited today a reply to their appeal for government relief.
