LADY GOAT COMES TO RESCUE
Mayer and Assistants Learn
Much About Ways of Animals
By VIRGINIA MACPIIERSON
(United Preu Hollywood CorrMpondent)
Hollywood, Cal., Nov. 3 U.R Louis B. Mayer, who gets $1,000,
000 a year for preventing things like this, wound up today with
a pregnant Llama on his hands.
And therein lies a long, sad tale of frustration that has more
than one assistant to the head man at MGM brushing up on his
animal husban-
kid until spring-time. The studio
said it couldn't wait
Panama and Frank called up
George Emerson, an animal
trainer, and poured out their
woes. He dug up a "black mar
ket kid" in nearby Ontario, the
product of some lady goat who
had an off-season rendezvous
All this took time too much.
as far as the boys who watch
the budget are concerned.
But production costs on the
"Llama-vs-Goat" episode were
peanuts compared to what hap
pened to Mr. Mayer on "The
Yearling." For that, they used
a baby deer and finished the pic
ture right on schedule.
Then they discovered they
needed re-takes. By now their
yearling was full grown. And,
they also discovered, it was
months before any more deer
were to be born in souinern
California
So the whole picture was held
up at a price-tag of thousands
and thousands of dollars while
nature took its course
All this, is almost enough to
turn L. B. "anti-animal." Lassie

mean nothing to him and at
last count he had fathered over
159 offsprings.
dry.
It all started
when Mayer
okayed a com
edy with one
sequence built
around a Llama
who happened
to be in a fam
ily way.
It looked
funny on paper. ,.
But nobody on
the Mayer payroll's laughing
very loud now.
Norman Panama and Malvin
Frank, who wrote the seript
about a zookeepcr's daughter,
pepped it up with a scene fea
turing the birth of a Llama. June
Allyson was supposed to hand it
to Dick Powell when it was
minutes old. So far, so good.
When Panama and Frank
started investigating Llamas and
such they discovered a new
born Llama is about the size of
a small horse.
That threw 'em into a full
sized tizzy. Powell holding a
horse, they told each other,
wouldn't be half so funny as
Powell holding a tiny critter.
So they quick-like re-wrote
the script and switched to a goat.
Seems late fall isn't the time
when goats become mamas.

tudio they couldn't furnish a

Tax on All-Fur Coats
Deferred Until Mar. 1
Washington, Nov. 3 UP) The
internal revenue bureau today
postponed until March 1 the ef
fective date of a ruling clamp
ing the 20 percent sales tax on
all-fur coats without exception
The postponement was in re
sponse to protests from manu-
facturers and merchants. They
claimed they would suffer loss
unfairly unless given time to
dispose of stocks acquired be
fore the ruling.
The original ruling, made
known yesterday and intended
to be immediately effective.
was designed to plug a loophole
in the law under which some all
fur coats had gone tax free along
with fur-trimmed cloth coats.

Airport Traffic Goes on;
Tragedy, Death Lurks Near

(United Prwi auff Corrupondenti
Washington. Nov. 3 U.R) It was "operations normal" most of
the time yesterday at the National airport.
People came through the lobby ana aid tne usual wings, iney
weighed their luggage at the airlines counters. They cocked an
ear to the loud speakers to catch the call of their flights. They

More than SO persons, many
of them bashed beyond resem
blance to humans, were dead.
Their bodies were spread over
land and in the waters of an
inlet which is part of the Poto
mac river.
The aft half of the luxury air
liner, which had set out from
Boston, destination New Or
leans, showed its tail piece gro
tesquely out of the water.
The folks who were coming
and going at the airport were
unaware of the tragedy for a
while. You can't see around a
corner. And the scene of the
crash was around the corner
from the observation platform.
The outgoing planes winged
over the scene. Passengers com
ing into the capital also passed
it, but most did not know of the
misery below.
Some of those waiting to leave
didn't know of the disaster un
til the papers reached the 'port,
a couple of hours after the col
lision. They flew anyhow
Those who like to fly, fly no
matter what, it seems. The air
port averages 500 flights in and
out a day yesterday was average.
But it was a little different
out on Mount Vernon Memorial
Boulevard. Only a railing and
15 yards separate the scene of
horror from the busy highway.
Capt. George H. Maincs, Ameri
can Legion official, was on a bue
headed for Washington when the
crash occurred.
He tugged the cord, bounced
out and was one of the first on
the scene. The moans of the
injured were very faint, he said.

things before. But nothing like

Hay-Fever-Producing
Ragwood Discovered
Portland, Nov. 3 () There is
a small patch of hay-fever-pro
ducing ragweed in Oregon.
The state medical society
warned yesterday that a field
of the weed was found east of
Estacada in the Cascade moun
tains of Clackamas county.
An expert who studied sam
ples reported the specimens
looks as though they do not
enjoy Oregon soil or air." That
was a hopeful note for suffer
ers of hay fever. The society
proposed spraying the patch next
spring to kill the plants. They
are now dormant.
S. P. Promises
More Box-cars
Roseburg, Nov. 3 W) A
Southern Pacific Railway vice
president promised yesterday
that the shortage of freight cars
in western Oregon would ease
shortly.
W. W. Hale, San Francisco,
was here to confer with Rep.
Harris Ellsworth. The congress
man recently had asked the in
terstate commerce commission
to investigate the boxcar short
age in Oregon. He said it appear
ed the railroad was discriminat
ing against shippers in this
state.
Hale said empties were begin
ning to move northward out of
California. He denied that Ore
gon had been discriminated
against.
The railroad freight executive
said a shift in the lumber in
dustry's car type orders was
partly to blame for the situation
of recent months. Hale said Ore
gon mills normally used open-
type can to ship rough green
lumber. About two months ago,
he said, the mills began pouring
in orders for closed cars for
shipping kiln dried lumber.
Hale said the shift caught the
railroad with "thousands" of
open type cars on order or new
ly purchased.
