The Hardy Boy

make the Hardy Family series
the most popular family in
America in his newest film,
"Life Begins for Andy Hardy,"
which opens a three-day run
today at the Roxy theatre. Judy
Garland is also starred in the
cast as well as Lewis Stone,
Fay Holden, Ann Rutherford

heart away from Judy and Ann.

RUSH TO TRIPOLI
London, Dec. 27. (P) There
was a growing belief among
London observers today that
Germany and Italy are rushing
heavy reinforcements to Trip
oli, capital and chief port of
Libya, and thence easeward
into the Libyan battle zone in
spite of heavy losses of ships
in the Mediterranean.
An Informed source declared
nothing specific was known
here concerning reinforcements
for nazi Gen. Erwln Rommel's
hard-pressed army.
"But as we have said repeat
edly," this source added, "it Is
impossible to prevent some
ships from getting across and
we have every reason to believe
some troops and supplies may
get to Tripoli."
Some quarters asserted the
Germans and Italians already
have started an intensive win
ter campaign to destroy British
power in the Mediterranean
area a move which they have
predicted for the past two
weeks.

Washington. Dec. 27. AP)
The United States and Great
Britain were believed today to
have reached a preliminary
agreement on the broad strategy
for land, air and sea campaigns
calculated to put the allies on
the high road to victory In 1943.
The next step is to work out
the details and responsibility for
the strategy's execution, and the
expectation was that this would
get under way almost immedi
ately perhaps even today in a
joint conference attended by the
representatives of the major al
lied powers,
The nations participating will
be the United States, Great Brit
ain, Soviet Russia, China, The
Netherlands, the Dominion of
Canada, Australia and New Zea
land. The latter six have been
kept fully informed on the pro
gress of the conversations be
tween President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill, and
representatives of the Pan-American
nations were invited to the
White House today for a similar
review.
One Indication that the joint
conference was about to start
was the arrival here yesterday of
Canada's prime minister, W. L.
Mackenzie King.
There was reason to believe
that arrangements for close
Anglo-American cooperation al
ready have been worked out, and
it was reported that General Sir
John Dill, the retiring chief of
staff of the British army, would
remain in Washington Indefi
nitely to help assist in coordinat
ing the military efforts of the
two nations. Sir John came here
in Churchill's party.

BATTLE REPORTED
Hollywood, Dec. 27. (APV
Cafe society had another of it
periodic demonstrations of fisti
cuffs today, notable chiefly for
the fact that it showed a Vander
bilt how the Hollywood half
sometimes lives.
In a sense it was a battle royal,
but the description refers to the
principals, not the action.
They were David Mdlvanl,
prince and former husband of
Mae Murray, and Mike Roman
off, the ex-Brooklyn pants press
or whose title of prince is strictly
self-conferred.
The scene was the swank Mo
cambo cafe.
What started today's set-to re
mained hidden in the general
confusion. But witnesses agreed
that there was more pushing
than punching, that two or three
people were on the floor at one
time or another, and that Charlie
Morrison, who runs the cafe,
cleared things out in a hurry.
The occasion was a pre-nup-tials
party for 17-year-old Gloria
Morgan Vanderbilt, she of the
millions, and her man-about- -town
bridegroom-to-be, 32-year-old
Pat di Cicco, whose wedding
is planned tomorrow.
