There was surprise In Hollywood over the Academy nom inee for best acting performances, not that anybody wants to take any thing away from the Bucrpssful nix. Absence of Bctte Da via from thfl list waa the most conspicuous on the actresses' side, while Robert Don at and Oeorfje Arllss among the actors were generally thought to have bet ter than even chenres of landing. In popularity of "It Hnppened One Night" and "One Night of Love" in Hollywood, which often disagrees in Us film preferences with the rest of the country, was renaon enough for Inclusion of the Gable-Colbert tam in the race atong with Grace Moore.

Prank Morkan, mimed for "The Affairs of Cellini," which was pro duced beforo the "clean picturea" campaign began, and was decidedly risque, to say the least. And Robert Donat didn't rate for "The Count of Monte Crlsto," some say, because an Englishman, Charloa Laughton, won the award last year, and Hollywood thought a Hollywood Ian should get It this time.

TAILLESS PLANES iWi l I ?IC I ' - iff fl i (Continued trom Pag On) WASHINGTON (UP) Tailless air planes soon mny make their bow. Eugene L. Vldal, director of air commerce, commerce department, has announced plans for purchasing and testing a tailless plane designed espe cially for private fliers. The plane Is said to have received considerable attention In England, France and Germany. The United States, however, thus far has accom plished little with the unique craft. John H. Oelfise, chief of the bu reau's development section, said the tallleM plane "may or may not repre sent tho general outline of the air plane which will be In widespread use a few years hence, but it does show sufficient promise to merit a fair trial." Gelsse ald its simple construction would make the craft more readily adaptable to quantity production than other types. If it proves equally efficient, he added, "this adaptability to volume production methods will be an Important factor In Its favor." .

Whltwell, board mem ber, said he believed "It Is drawing a pretty fine line to say that NO teachers should come to school with tobacco on their breath. They cer tainly have a right to smoke at home." Henry I. Qulnn, another member advocated a liberal policy, saying h'? was against "trying to regulate our teachers' private Hvpj so long as thy do nothing to Interfere with their efficiency in teaching children." one which.
