Shellady, commissioner of public safety and as such, head of the city fire and police department, stated emphatically last night there was no truth in a rumor circulated during the past two das that the city council would replace Chief of Police Roger Smith. "There has been a rumor started the past two days," Commissioner Shellady said, "that the city council will remove the chief of police from office. There is nothing to that rumor.

The council has never considered such action, has never discussed the matter with the chief qf police and has never 'called him on the carpet' for anything whatsoever. "I have no idea wheie the rumor started nor who started it. But I want to deny it at once." The first rumors circulated weie to the effect that the council would call for Mr. Smith's resignation Monday Tuesday but Mr. Shellady said it was "all news to me cm Fred X.

(IP) A 'peddler" not only walked into the mouth of the cannon, today but whole battery of them. Federal Judge James Baldwin is presiding at a session of United States court here. Among the-Yarious cases are those which deal with the sale of intoxicating liquor to Indians, an offense which is dealt with sternly by the court. This afternoon, while cases were being handled in the courtroom, a tall, dark complexioned man busied himself in the hall.

He passed a bottle or two to a. couple -of delighted braves. A couple of husky Indian service deputies descended upon him. The scene shifts hurriedly to the courtroom of United States Commissioner Ward H. Jones, where John Sansevere pleaded guilty to charges of Selling liquor to Indians but gave no explanation of his choice of business location.

In lieu of $1,500 bonds he will have to stay in jail until the next session of federal court.

JTRS. KATHLEEN NIELSEN TTOLLYWOOD, March a peasant 'kerchief tied over her i eddish head, and with a pleased smile of wonderment on her i face. Mireille Balin. looks exactly like Hollywood's idea of an immigrant girl. Which she is.

About three months ago, when she came heie to try to earn her living in the sweatshops of the cinenid, Mile. Balin had most ot her worldly possessions done up 28 i She was a lonely little figure, unaccompanied except bv a staff of servants. After many wearying hours of searching for lodgings suitable to her means, she finally rented a 10- room cottage with an ordinary outdoor swimming pool. Then, because everybody in this far-flung film center has to have car of some sort, Mile. Balin again dipped into her savings and bought an Hispano-Sulza no bigger than -a ten-ton truck.

She "Seldom" Goes Out Although she says that she does not have moch moueee--not so much, anyway, but that she has to work to get more--Mile. Balin quite a lot better off than most other newcomers from Europe. Or maybe this one is a spendthrift. Of course she earned a great many francs during her three years of picture making in France The actress explained that she has been vereee buseee here, what with three hours of English study every day, and a singing lesson, and makeup and scieen tests, and seeing selected movies and reporting to Billy Grady, foreign talent supervisor. This was the first interview Metro had iwrmitted.

It had not, however, nUhheld her from social circulation. She said: "I ncvalre go to partce or night clops only ma; be two, free times week." In Paris, after posing foi a few advertisements in color. Mile. Balin was sought out and hired by noted French director, Pabst Her first picture, she said, was "'Donkely Show." "Donkey Show?" "But yes--'Donkey Show'." She took my pencil and wrote it out-'Don Quixote." Likes What She Likes She became a star soon after that. Made one appearance -with Fernand Gravet.

Her greatest success was "Pepe le Moko," which has been shown in some metropolitan centers of this country. Word has come to her, she says, that when her English has improved Louis B. Mayer intends putting ier into a picture with Spencer Tracy or Clark Gable. "I hope eet ees true," she said. 'Thees Tracy ees my best actor, but also Paul Muni.

They say I am not to speak of Paul Muni because eet ees not for thees studio he works But I like what I like --no?" Yes. She had--tremendous vitality and vivacity. Ate four or five meals a day and was nerer still a minute. Now her appetite has dwindled to three meals, and she has lost five pounds, and cannot sleep at night. "No pep," mourned Mile.

Balin. 'Pep' okay? I like slang. In two weeks maybe I ain dead." In films, she explained, she always has been a leetle vamp. She is not an actress dramatique. The makeup experts here have been conducting soma alarming experiments with her.

"They poot 'my eyebrow up; they poot my eyebrow down. They make my hair so (tight back, and so (curled to the shoulders) and so (windblown). They geeve me ze beeg mouse (mouth). On ze screen I do not know myself!" MAGNIFIGIENT MLLE. MIREILLE Mircillr Balin itas lonely immigrant girl who came to Holljnood with 28 trunks and a slaff of servants.

Often She "So Onncrstan 1 Her belief is that she is not temperamental, but she also admitted that she is one of the "I-do-not- onnerstan' girls. This no-savee business is an old and exasperating device employed by several imported sirens, notably Simsne Simon, who have had trouble with their employers and directors. Mireille Balin believes, at this time, that it's the easiest way to get along.

She explained frankly that if someone tries to make her do something she does not want to do, she says, "I do not onnerstan'." When asked a question she doesn't care to answer, she replies, "I do not onnerstan'." The actress tried to Justify this stratagem with a rather curious explanation "I do eet," she said, 'because I hate lies." Gifts from Her Dog Miss Balin sajs she is neither married nor engaged. She wears what appears to have been a man's heavy platinum ring mounting a diamond of 11H carats. Asked about it, she grinned and said, "You can write that my dog gave eet to me." That's her every-day ring. For Sundays, holidays and a flash at the Trocadero she has a diamond of 14 carats. Another present from her dog.

Actually, she has several dogs. Skye terriers She explained that only the "husband and son" are heie In Pans remains the "wife," who always ees having the babies." The green-eyed Mile. Balin had a French father, an Italian mother, and was born at a villa near Monte Carlo. Charles Balin ws a wealthy newspaper publisher. Mireille had a luxurious upbringing and an expensive fmishmg-school education Hers was a celebrated figure around southern European resorts.

That figure hasn't yet been photographed in Hollywood, bul returned travelers bears news of it They declare that whenever she appeared on tbe beach at Cannes the gendarmes had to rope off guard a space around her.
