ARRESTED IN CWA GRAFT PROBE
AT
DRAWS HOI SHOT
HOLLYWOOD, Cel.. Jan. 29 (AP)
If Hendrick Van Loon wanted an
argument when he said motion pic
tures were made 'by doll and Je
romes" and had a deadening tiled
upon the culture of the world, he
didn't Mve long to wait for It.
Little Anita Loot, also a writer,
came back: with a barber counter
attack on Van Loon, whom she called
her "old highbrow palsy walsy."
"Hendrlck's first cry of pain comes
Irom the fact the entire world
clasps the products ot Hollywood to
Its breast and loves them," said
the auVlor of "Gentlemen Prefer
Blondes."
Mlsa Loos said Van Loon may be
correct In saying Hollywood is not
producing any masterpieces of the
theater, but she had an answer ready
for that.
"When In the history of the the
ater, excepting the eras of Shakes
peare and Mollere, hare there ever
been more than a few masterpieces
In a generation" she asked.
M1M Loos said she considered the
art of Walt Disney, Greta Garbo,
Charlies Chaplin and Marie Dressier
good enough for the time.
"Cheer up, Hendrlckl" she con
cluded. "It may Irk you that Aus
tralia Is growing to look like Holly
wood, but what did It look like before?"

Gold Nature 's Problem Child,
Is Prized Because of Disdain
Toward All Natural Influences
By MOMKR MrCOT
NEW YORK, Jan. 36. (AP) Gold,
today tjha aubject of warring eco
nomic theorlea and of economic wars,
la Mother Nature's problem child."
She has never been able to do a
thing with It. For that reason, man
has.
Why la gold ao precious? Why la
It more valuable than a piece of Iron,
a brightly-colored stone, a roadside
pebble?
The chemical definition doesnt
help much In answering those ques
tions. It is: "Oold a heavy, bright
yellow metal with 4 resplendent lus
tre. Symbol, au; automatic number,
79; atomic weight, 107.3." So what?
The answer revert to the "prob
lem child" character of gold. Ele
ments have chemical properties that
vest them with personalities. Gold
has a definite one.
It la an Ihhmael of the rocks. It
resists tho effects of nature's forces
winds, weathering, heat and cold.
It stands alone.
Gold Is anti-gregarious, unsocial,
Individualistic. It shuns chemical
combines. Chemtsta call It an In
active metal; another name would
be lethargic.
Because It preserves Its entity ao
well, it la usually found In an un
comblned state in the rocks or gravel
deposits. And If lfc la united with
other metals in the ore, the rela
tionship la not hard to sever.
All these qualities Vila disdain
toward natural Influences make gold
o prized. It la leas than clay In
human hands,
In the pure state, It Is the most
malleable and workable of metals.
It can be. beaten to 0.00001 milli
meter. On egram can be atretched
into a wire two miles long. One
ounce can be spread over 109 aquare
feet.
Oold Is extremely durable. Imper
vious to change. It will have noth
ing to do with oxygen which unites
with and destroys ao many element.
"Trtar'a gold in them thar hills"
Is the cry that has spurred thou
sands on the search for wealth. And
there probably was gold In "them
thar hills," no matter where they
