FILM STARS TAKE TO REAL LIFE PARENTS' ROLE
Hollywood Couples Find New Interest In Rearing Adopted Children
By Robblns pooiia
HOLLYWOOD P) "Sophisticated
Hollywood" Is letting its sentimental
side come to the fore these days.
In the last year four screen nota
bles -have taken Into their hearts
and homes six homeless children, and
lour of the youngsters, by legal
adoption, now are their sons and
daughters.
George "Slim" Summervllle, lanky
comedian, and his wife are the lat
est couple to become foster parents.
Before them Constance Bennett and
the Wallace Beerys took under their
care homeless children.
The Nell Hamlltons now are "ex
. perlenccd parents." Almost a year
ago they "fell In love" with the
daughter of poor parentB who now
shares their home.
: The addition to the Summervllle
menage Is a boy, now two months
old. Their own child lost to them
several years ago, the SummerviUes 1
found the youngster through an or
phanage. "We named him Elliott George,
after my father and myself," Slim
says, "and we're both crazy about
him." j
Constance Bennett's recently ;
adopted youngster is .Dennis Arthur ;
Armonstrong, aged 3.- The boy's
mother, a cousin of Miss Bennett,
and his father were killed in an
automobile accident In Europe three
years ago. The star brought him
to live with , her immediately after
the tragedy, and after her marriage
to Henri de la Falalse filed adoption
papers. '
The youngster Is a prime Interest
of the blond actress whose smart,
sophisticated screen roles do not sug
gest a domestic inclination. .
She Is steadfast In her refusal to
discuss the boy or allow him to, be
photographed. She wants him to
grow up, she explains, as a normal
youngster without the influence of
the publicity spotlight.
The Wallace Beerys, themselves
childless, are now, through adoption,
the parents of Carol Ann Priester, a
chubby girl not yet two, with dark,
close-cropped curls. And they are
rearing Carol Ann's two older broth
ers, George, aged 9, and. William,
aged 4.
Their mother, Mrs. Beery's aunt,
died a few months ago, andv their
father, with his home broken, con
sented to let the film, family take
the ''children. ' -,
Young George attends a boys' mil
itary school here and little Bill, will
do likewise when he grows older.
Carol Ann, who toddles around quite
expertly now. Is too busy-, exploring
the Beerys' big Beverly Hills home
to bother about a "career" yet.
Patricia Louise Is Neil Hamilton's
favorite topic 9! conversation. Now
4 tow-headed Infant a year old, with
blue eyes, she was chosen for adop
tion by Neil and Elsa Hamilton when
only two days old. They have no
other children. fc
f "She's got four teeth now," beams
Neil, "and sho crawls so fast. I'm
going to buy her a set of knee-chains
to prevent skidding I" -
:. When Hollywood adopts babies, it
does so in earnest.
Hollywood notables are finding that (laying Mia role or parent to children tney have adopted or taken
Into their homes Is as Interesting as their film parts. Above, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Beery are shown with
William Priester, 4, George Priester, 0, and Carol Ann Priester, nearly 2. The Ilecrys adopted Carol Ann and
are rearing the two boys, llelow are Mr. and Mrs. Nelll Hamilton with their adopted daughter, Patricia Louise.

Washington Sends
Prisoners South,
But It Didn't Take
PORTLAND, Ore.. Mar. 31 VP)
Amazement was professed by Muni
cipal Judge P. W. Stadter Wednesday
when he heard the stories of two
negro prisoners who declared they had
been released from Washington state
prison on parole providing they would
get out of the state,, with Rprtland
designated as a preferable location. -
The two, James Butler ana juxnur
Scott, appeared In court today on
vaarancy charges. They tola . me
Judge that Dr. Garfield Davis of Se
attle, member of the Washington
state parole board, hod ordered their
release from prison, ana . tnax wiey
had been advised to go to Portland.
"We don't wont Washington's pris
oners, here," Judge Stadter exclaimed.
"I am not so sure that these men
are telllnE the truth about their par
ole provisions, but If . a Washington
state parole officer is 'dumping' his
problems Into Portland It Is B ft
gretablo situation." ' -:- '' '"' ' "'
So the court announced sentences
of 30 days In Jail and aaded "but
I will suspend your sentences pro
viding you go straight back to Wash
ington state. You'd better go back
and get in touch with the parole
board and seek a readjustment."
Scott said he was released from
Walla Walla prison March 17 after
serving 12 years for burglary. Butler
was released March 28 alter serving
two years for burglary. .

sentative Rankin (D.. MIbs.) said In
statement Wednesday that advo

"President Hoover's advance veto
of the bill for the payment of the

vice certificates come as no surprise
to those of us who are familiar with
the Hoover mind," he said..
We knew it would never get the
approval of his billion dollar cab

we knew that those Individuals
of vast wealth, who reaped enormous

By Oscar Leldlng
(Associated Press Aviation Editor)
DETROIT Mar. 1 () As in the
motoring world, so In the aviation
world, the dominating question of
early 1033 is: "What has Ford got?1
The national aircraft show, to be
held April 2-10 In Detroit, will bring
an answer to the flying fraternity
in -the form of a new aerial levia
than. , ....
For three years Ford has been en
gaged In the development of a mon
ster transport plane, for the : most
part shrouding- the product in sec
recy. - Little will be known until the
show opens, but it is understood
that a multi-motored ship capable
of carrying more passengers than any
other American x plane will be Intro
duced. ;
Further, It has been learned that
the ship will be provided with berths
for ubo by night travelers. As far
back as a year ago, the plane was
understood to be under development
as a 38-place vehicle but changes
may have been made since that time.
This plane will add significance to
,tho air transport theme of the 1032
show which, more than ever, will be
dedicated to selling the -Idea of in
creased usrf of: aviation by the pub
lic for passenger travel, ; mall, and
express.
Another significant trend that may
be forecast by the new Ford Is that
large planes, catering to comfort of
passengers traveling for long dis
tances, are the "coming thing."
Again, aviation Is taking a leaf from
the book of experiences of the motor
ing world and of the railroad In
dustry as well.
One of the means by which: the
show expects to build interest in
scheduled air transport will be an
International model air transport line
to be run over a 60-mlle, American-
Canadian closed circuit.
In the show Itself, which Is spon
sored by the Aeronautical Chamber
of Commerce, aviation's latest pro
ducts will be on display.' There will
be larger ships for the air transport
operator and smaller planes, many
of them In the class of medium
priced automobiles, for the private
owner.

PAPER DROPS ITS POLITICS
TO SUPPORT EX-EMPLOYE
WASHINGTON; Mar. 31 W) -Rail
road loans by the Reconstruction
Finance corporation were condemned
in the senate Wednesday by Chair
man Couzens, of the Interstate com
merce committee.
Pointing specifically to the recent
loan of $12,800,000 to the Missouri
Paclfio railroad. Couzens said the
market value of the securities pro
duced by this railroad was only
912,450,000.
He also called attention that the
Reconstruction corporation adopted
a resolution approving the loan and
submitting It to the Interstate com
merce commission before asking thai
lurmui approval qi ins lacier.
The commission thon approvod tho
loan "with reluctance."
I have no knowledge," said Coup
ons, "of congress having declared a !
policy, of government ownership of
the railroads, and yet the loan to
the Missouri Paclfio and others that
have been approved, and others still i
pending clearly Indicate to mo that
if loans are continued In the same
manner as they have been In the
past, many of these properties will
eventually revert to the government
or the government will lose Its in
vestment.
The government will at loast find
itself In possession of the least de
sirable .and least profitable rail
roads."
Couzens said the Interstate com
merce commission had approved
many fees charged by "money mer
chants" for financing the railroads
on the ground that they stood back
of the carriers and were of great
value to them.
This has proven a false conclu
sion because they are not standing
back of them," Couzens said. "This
Is particularly truo of the Now York
Central, considered one of tho strong
est of the, roads because It has had
to borrow 94,300,000 In spite of the
fact that Morgan and company has
always profited to a large extent
from financing It."
The Pennsylvania, Couzens said,
had also asked for a loan of 965,000,
000 which he called further proof
that the theory had not worked out.
Many of tho railroads which have
applied for loans, Couzens added,
have not earned as much as 30 per
cent of their operating expenses dur
lng 1931.
Ho said If the present economic
situation lasted two and a half or
three years, all tho roads would bo
applying for loans, not only the
weaker lines.
