I ARMY PACT LIKE Old European Device, the Balance of Power, Seen Again One of Keys to Realignment Lies in Asia WHITE YOUTH KILLS JAPANESE GIRL fB,n,!,,pn f i . j r j tHH( i v - n mr I BT MFXVIN E. COLEMAS (Associated I'res Staff Writer) Balance of power, that old Euro pean device which failed to consoli date peace efficiently to prevent the world tragedy of 1914-18, again hue reared its head across the At lantic. Statements In the French parlia ment that France ana the Soviet Union have a military understand ing, that the red army will be at France's disposal If Oermany attacks, constitute the clinching evidence bo far as many observers of foreign affaire are concerned. "Russia haa a strong and well equipped army, which she offers us Jn case of conflict with Germany," said Leon Archlmbaud presenting a new war budget to the chamber of deputies. Think In Pre-War Terms. Thus men are ehown as thinking In the terms of 1014 rather than those of 1920 when thrones had tot tered and "self-determination of peo ples had become the yardstick and the world hoped that the "war to save democracy" had accomplished Its object. Today dictators take the place of monarchs. Hereditary power still is at a discount, but the dally lives of millions are, In some cases, as closely ordered as In the time when "divine right" reigned. Twenty years ago when the world conflict was In the making there were fears and forebodings, mili tary secrets and spy scares. Bo there are today. Political oppositionists fled across frontiers In those days, plotted the overturn of administrations. Justi fied the use of arms against "ty rants." Bo they do today. The moot question, then as now, was when a political refugee en titled to haven, became an interna tional terrorist, subject to extradi tion, trial and sentence. Old Alignments Reappear. There were closely similar back grounds to the crime of Sarajevo in 1014 and the nssassl nations at Mar seille on October B. In pre-war Europe there existed the triple entente of Prance, Rus sia and Great Britain. Today the English government. Influenced by a sizable section of public opinion which decrlea "meddling in the af fairs of the continent," holds aloof. But Its leaders' brows are furrowed and "Britain's frontier has moved to the Rhine." Then there was the old "triple al liance" of Imperial Germany, the Austro-Hungarlan empire and the kingdom of Italy. Remnanta of the Hapsburg domain today find back ing In Rome and fascist newspapers, a short time ago denunciatory of nam alms toward Austria have put a silencer on such criticisms. Simul taneously there has been a ban of 'anschluns" discussion In Oermany ana Austrian naais have conferred In Vienna with the successor to the els In Chancellor Doll fuss. One of the keys to this realign ment la In Asia, where Manchoukuan claims anent Russia's share In the Chinese Eastern railway Imperilled soviet relations with Japan's foster child. The soviet leaders in Moscow, foreseeing a possible clash In the far east, redouhied efforts to make their European fences secure and non aggression pnetn were negotiated. Miller's Rise Also Factor. But meanwhile nanism, arch foe of communism and of all things per taining to the soviet system, had triumphed In Germany. One of the first feats of the Hitler regime was an understanding with Poland. The development was sufficiently pretentious to send Louis Barthou. Prance's foreign minister, on a hur ried trip to Warsaw, since Poland, like the members of the little en tente, was an Important sector In the "ring of isolation" which the big republic, had been erecting around Hitler's third relch, He swung from there to Bucharest, Praha and Bel grade and wns receiving a return visit from Alexander of Yugoslavia when both were assassinated in Marseille. That Polish - German rapproche ment helped also to convince Prance and the Soviet Union that their In terests were closely related. Hence the announced "understanding.'

(T Margaret Sui lavan's elopement to Yuma with her director, William Wyler, surprised Holly wood but did not surprise Margaret . Sulla vsn. The day after the marriage she and her bridegroom were back on the set, finishing their work on "The fkod Fairy." the film which sup. posedly brought them together. Wyler, as bo- MARGARET SULLAVAN fits bridegrooms, referred q u e s tions about their romance to hit bride. Miss Sullavan, aa befits M'as Sullavan, had little to say, but sne did vouchsafe: "We've been In love more than a year. The reason wc said nothing about It was that vc didn't want ourselves constantly talked and written about as gol:g together." Tli at being the case, she succeeded brilliantly. Hollywood thought the big Interest in her life was John Mo Cormlck, Colleen Moore's ex-husband and Hollywood talked and wrote about that. Margaret Sullaran doesnt like Hollywood. She has been frank, al though not especially belligerent, on that score. Dislikes Interview!. She doesn't like interviews. Those who have tried to corner her say that she will answer a question, call It quits, and ahy away. The "Interview" may be continued. Informally, w.th another question day, a week, a month later. One writer pieced to gether a yarn on Margaret Sullavan through several such one-minute "in terviews" covering a period of six weeks. N She is to the Universal lot what Oar bo is to M. O. M. and Katharine Heribern to R. K. O. a "publicity problem." Like the other two, she get her share or it and more. She Is not a rechise like Oarbo, and she has not set out, aa some thing Hep burn haa, to bait Interest with flam boyant doings, Before she scored In "Only Yestci- day" her big splash In publicity came with her arrest for violating a lw about burning matches In a restrict ed area of the combustible hills here abouts. She went to Jail for a whiie. long enough at leant for the stud:o to hsve her pose for stills behind the bars and she paid a ISO fine. What She Mkcd. Her friends trace her suspicion of Interviewers to an early experience with a magaelne scribe who lnvJti her to dinner. Seated at a table sur rounded by other guests. Miss Sullr. van reputedly was the target during dinner for Innumerable questions from her hostess about her private life, especially shout her first mar riage to Henry Fonda. Miss Sulla van, who doesn't talk about her pri vate life, decided If that was Holly wood which It occasionally is she wouldn't play the game. About the lot they tear their hair, call her "little brat." and then, pre sumably overwhelmed by the natural charm of the girl, they address her In endearing terms and call her a "regular." She la known to her In timates aa an experienced "rlbber" who can "take it" as well as she gives It. And they arc sure now that there Is at least something about Holly wood that she likes. She found htm and married him. OTHER PLANETS . MAY HAVE LIFE SAYSSCIENTIST Whole Universe Once Mass of Primordial Gas Is Belief of Dr. Stromberg of Mt. Wilson Observatory. By E. H. TIPTON PASADENA. Cal. (AP) A possi bility that "life as we know It may well exist" on numerous other plan ets outside the solar system was seen today by Dr. Qustaf Stromberg. Mt. Wilson astronomer. Mars has been regarded as the only other planet In the solar system suit able for human life, and Dr. Walter 3. Adams,- director of the Carnegie institution's Mt. Wilson observatory. recently found there was not enough oxygen on Mars to sustain life. Other .Suns But even in the Milky Way star system, or galaxy, there are countless other sure similar to the sun. As tronomers have been unable, to deter mine with telescopes now In use whether these other nuns have plan etary system because planets have no light of their own only reflected light, too dim to be seen at great distances. Sir James Jeans and several other astronomers have contended that perhaps not more than one other planetary system exists in tnis galaxy, The Jeans' conclusion Is based on the theory that planets are formed only through close encounters between two stars formed from matter eject ed from the stars. He holds such collisions are extremely rare. All Gas Onre Dr. Stromberg recently advanced theory the whole universe was once a mass of "primordial gas." He con tends that as this gas condensed H broke up Into separate enormous masses which were set In motion by gravitational action. These separate masses broke up Into smaller gas George Upton, aged California Indi gent, complained he wns not receiv ing his share of relief, pointed a pistol at a Hood River Judge and pulled the trigger four times.

"The motions of the .stars and planets Indicate there was a time when the stars and sun were of enor mous size, in fact ttv? whole galaxy was a huge ball of gas," Dr. Strom berg said. "The complicated motions of the stars, planets, asteroids and satellites are accounted for by the accumulated action of viscnslty Jn the gas." Slow Motion at K1rt According to his theory, the huge gas balls were set in very slow rota tion by their mutual attractions, and the planets were formed at ' much greater distances from the sun than they are now. I "Planetary systems with satellites moving about the planets would then be a normal occurrence among the tars," said Dr. Stromberg. "So, after all, we do not have to feel so lonely In the universe. Even If the other planets tn the solar sys tem are not suitable for human habi tation, there may be Innumerable other suns with planets where life aa we know It may well exist." NEW OIL DRILL BIT MAY HELP INDUSTRY BEATJMONT, Tex. (UP) A new collapsible drill bit, an Invention cal culated to revolutionize the drilling Industry was to be manufactured here soon. The bit. Invented by L. P. Klnnear and C. W. Klnnear. both practical drillers, and two of the pioneer drill ers of the vast South American oil fields, would be used in rotary drill ing. The tool was the result of eight years' work. The outstanding feature of the new tool, according to the inventors, la In th billty of drillers to maintain rotation of the drill pipe and circu lation of drilling fluid while chang ing the bit. Any desired pressure may be held on the walls of the well during this operation, the men said. The operation Is accomplished by a ptston-llke action in the pipe, which la controlled by a valve at the top of the hole.
