Cloudy or foggy tonight and Tues day; moderate temperature; gentle to moderate changeable wind off the coast. A gripping, melodramatic tale, set in the eerie confines of London s world famous Ch'.natown, "Ume house Blues' brings George Raft back to the screen with two leading ladles: the beautiful Chinese Anna May Wong and demure Jean Parker. The picture comes tomorrow to the Rialto theatre. It Is a tale of tangled threads of j love and devotion, set against a background of smuggling, ortenl luxury end strife between the under-, world and the police. The film presents Raft as Harry Young who, under the disguise of a respectable cafe owner, has become the king of the notorious London underworld. He has a tender devotion for Jean Parker, a LlmeWouss waif, whom he la protecting, but she arouses the Jealousy of Anna May Wong who is devoted to Raft. When Jean Parker falls in love with Kent Taylor, and out of de votion to Raft attempts to suppress that love. Anna May Wong reveals her secret to Raft. Raft, blinded by Jealousy, lays care ful plans to do away with Kent. But at the last moment he discovers that the happiness of the girl he loves means more than even her returning to his love. and much witty verbal badansge re sults. How he fulfills his last two promises to himself provides enough laughs to keep the picture moving rapidly all the way. Laurel and Hardy get drunk again, in the comedy, and If you are a Laurel and Hardy fan you'll probably like them. The world is divided into two classes those who are Laurel and Hardy addicts, and those, like me, who can take them or leave them alone. There is a color cartoon that I doubt -if anyone can leave alone, however. In it Is a cat that Is an absolute masterpiece. Just to see that cat get hit by lightning la worth the price of admission. It is the best cartoon I've seen since the "Three Little Pigs." There's nothing on the bill which will hurt Junior .either.

From Once Marshes Southeast of City (or War Veterans WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. (AP) The ; A. F. of L. turned toward congress today to seek an inquiry Into the automobile Industry alter Donald Rlchberg, New Deal coordinator and target of union chiefs' attacks, had defended hla stand on the auto code. The charge that I am & 'traitor to organized labor'," he said. 'amounts to the demand that as a public official I should put subservi ence to the- policies of a particular larbor organization above loyalty to the government and to my conception of the public interest." William Green, president of the American federation of labor, replied that the code, extended by President Roosevelt without calling the A. F. of L. leaders Into conference, "smacks of fascism In a most aggravated form." He said Rlchberg "served big business well." Meanwhile talk of possible auto strike threats continued to be heard, but went unconfirmed. For several days Frank Dillon. A. F. of L. organ izer In the Industry, has kept In con tact with Green. When Green was asked, however, whether there was any possibility of a strike call, re plied : "Does a good general ever reveal his plans In advance?" Use Mai) Tribune want ada By Dick Applegate After the Blng Crosby picture which opened yesterday at the Cra terian, I made the remark In public that I thought It was a swell picture. One young man, who knows me too well, announced: "You fish you've said that so often In that dirty little screen review of yours that you say all of them are good. I thought it was Just fair." Cross questioning revealed that he doesn't like Kitty Carlisle. Well, no more do I, but I still liked Crosby. It la apparent that those who like Blng aren't too crazy about her, and those that like her aren't wild about Bing. So there you are there ought to be something In the picture that will please you. And unless you're different than practically any of the huge crowd that saw it yesterday, there will be lots to please you. Crosby gets better every picture. In acting ability, that is, and In getting over his comedy lines. His singing is A-I to me, too. Miss Carlisle's sing ing Is excellent, but I don't like her looks. . In the picture Blng ts a crooner who has made hla fortune crooning, and has gone off the air to devote hla time to fulfilling some boyhood promises to himself. One of these promises Is to fish in PREDATORY ANIMALS INCREASE IN OREGON SALEM, Ore.

Italy has a new province (a political sub division within the country some what similar to England's "county" or "shire. "1 Premier Benito Musso lini, on December 18, dedicated the 93rd Italian province. Llttorla. a fer tile farm area recently reclaimed from the once denolate and malarial Pontine marshes southeast of Rome. On the following day II Duce laid the first stone for the new city of Pontlnta. The drab swampland of a short time ago has become a pleasant re gion of golden wheat fields, vege- table gardens, sparkling canals, snd 1 budding orchards. In modern farm houses and In several ltrndsraped new cities dwell more than C0.000 former service men and their families. A bulletin from the Washington. D. C. headquarters of the National Oeographic society describes the re markable transformation of this area which has been Rome's "backdoor" problem since the days of the Cae sars. Wild Bonr Rnnmrd In Thickets. "A little over two years ago Pre mier Benito Mussolini gave orders that the stagnant waters of the Pon tine marshes should be drained off to the sea. malaria should be ended. 40no farmhouses built and populated with as many peasant families drawn from the crowded farming provinces of the north, and that three cities Llttorla. Sabaudia and Pontlnla should rise In the deserted land." the bulletin continues. "The waste and flooded plain at the very doors of Rome was to be come a garden and to supply part of the food needs of the Italian capital. The order Is being carried out as scheduled and the project to day is In first-class shape. "Where two and a half years ago wild boars roamed In the broom thickets, vou can see the neat little cltv of Llttorla. All the surrounding land is dotted by hundreds of bright, healthful farmhouses, replacing the squalid wooden huts where piga and chickens once shared the misery of a few marsh dwellers.
