By ALTER BROCKMANN Associated Press Foreign Staff BERLIN, Dec. 27. (AP) A storm of opposition' faces Nazi law reformers as their pet project, sterilization, goes into effect January l. Typical of the Nazi effort to extend complete dictatorship over the citizenry, it is but one of the many striking measures of legal reform scheduled for the New Year profoundly changing German criminal, civil and military law. Sounding an alarm.

Pope Pius, condemned sterilization in a message to the world last Saturday and it was expected this will be followed by a protest from Cardi nal Bertram, reaching Germany's 30,000,000 Catholics from all pulpits of the faith in this country. Many protestant clergymen are believed ready to join the opposition. The law creates 1,700 eugenic courts -o administer its provisions.

28. (AP) Threatened a few nights earlier, he said, by a group of white-robed and hooded men claiming to be members of a secret order, J. M. Getsinger mortally wounded two men who came to his home and attempted forcibly to enter. The farmer calmly walked into a local newspaper office late yes terday and told his story.

Then he went around to the county jail and surrendered. He said he had killed the two men, Bob Hayes, 60, and Lawrence Purdy, 50, only a few hours before, or as soon as he could get into town. Both men were armed, he said but he did not give them a chance to shoot after they advanced upon him menacingly. He said he did not understand why he had been visited by the robed men, or why the two men had come to his house yesterday'. Bulldog Drummond HOLLYWOOD, Dec.

DICKSON Associated P-ess Staff Writer WASHINGTON.

Dec. 28. AP) A constitutional amendment to change the method of electing a president is to be pressed at the coming session of Congress against the wishes of friends of Franklin D. Roosevelt who hope for his reelection In 1936. As the destitution now stands, voters choose electors.

If a presidential candidate receives a majority electoral votes in any state, all the electoral votes of that state a. st for him. Under the projected change, a candidate who -reived less than a majority would be credited with those he won when the final tally was made. Had the latter method been jn effect, many elections of presi- dents in the past would have re- suited differently, Senator Not is R. Neb.) is a i backer of the resolution.

It has been on the House calendar since the Couimittee on Elections of the president and vice-president approved the measure drafted by Representative Lea D. Cal.) at special session last spring. The coming session is considered by Norris as providing an opportune time to get the resolution through Congress and up to the states for ratification. It is the first assembly since Norris' amendment abolishing the Lame Duck session was ratified by the tales. This amendment brought a situation over the meeting of the Electoral college and he polling of the votes by Confess.

It will require corrective before 1936. The amendment abolishing the "anie Duck session moved from he first Monday in December to Tanuary 3 the annual assembly late for Congress. Present law provides that Con-ress at a joint meeting of the and House poll the dec-oral ballots on the second Wed-ssday in February. the Lame Duck amendment loved up from March 4 to January 20 the date for inauguration the president and vice-president acn four years. This would let he president take office nearly a nonth before the electoral bal-ats were counted and the result formally announced by Confess, The electoral college consists of 31 representatives, as many in state as there are senators md representatives from that itate in Congress.

The uncle, G.

A. Collins of Holy Springs, said the negroes all were armed with pistols, forced their way into the car when he stopped for a traffic light in a residential section of the city. Forced to drive far out on a country road, Collins said the negroes ordered the child, her aunt, Mrs. W. T.

Jackson of Memphis, and him out of the car. During the attack they were held under guns, he said, and he and Mrs. Jackson were robbed and and Mrs. Jackson was forced to sign two checks. After holding them prisoners for nearly an hour, the negroes left in the automobile.

This discovery was reported to the Society of American Bacteri ologists today by Dr. M.

A. In graham and C. A. Baumann of the University of Wisconsin. The yellow pigment in the germs is the same one which eives carrots their color.

The germs make it by the chemical process called syntheis. Some of them, Dr. Ingraham said, make almost twice as much of it in pro portion to their size as is found in carruts. Whjn bacteria containing this pigment were fed to animals whose diet was lacking in Vitamin the animals appeared to be able to convert some of the bac terial carotene into the missing vitamin. But "ho evidence was ever found that the germs themselves changed their own carotene into Vitamin A.

The discovery marks another link between animal and vegetable kingdoms, one of the peculiar cases in which a small organism is partly animal, partly vegetable. For, said Dr. Ingraham, carotene production has always been associated with the presence of chlorophyll, the green pigment of all plants. "It is of interest to observe," he explained, "that although bac teria resemble animals in their lack of chlorophyll, they resemble plants in their ability to synthesize carotene." Wife of Road.

Both films were directed by Lloyd Bacon, with Busby Berkeley doing the musical numbers. And it was only in these numbers that there was a distinguishable difference. From a story standpoint, they were about equal. James Cagney, Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, and Dick Powell had the leading roles in "Footlight Parade." White Sister The superb acting of Helen Hayes plus Clark Gable's pow erful characterization were large ly responsible for making "White Sister" one of the year's outstand ing films. Like "Smilin' this also was a remake of one of Norma Talmadge's silent hits.

And under the direction of Victor Fleming, it proved to be as fine as the original picture. Only Yesterday "Only yesterday," a powerful and beautiful love story, attains its high position largely because of the excellent direction of John Stahl. He took plenty of time and spent plenty of money in making the picture, but when it was finished he had a real product. The film also introduces to tht screen a new star in the person of Margaret Sullavan, who divides acting laurels with John Boles. And that completes the list, not because there aren't more worthy pictures, but because 10 places can't be stretched into 15.

Several other films would have placed easily in any previous year, but the 1933 competition was just a trifle too strong for them. Raft Likes Baseball HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 28 (NEA) When his acting days are over and he isn't kidding himself that they will last forever-George is going back to his first love baseball. The actor now is saving his money so that, when the times comes, he can buy an interest in a big league baseball club and manage it. As a kid, George was mascot of the New York Yankees and in later years played professional ball.

M. at George Evans' Place THOJIASVIIXE HIGHWAY Y2 mile beyond Los Itobles gate USE YOl'K OWN or AND SHELLS Little Women "Little Women" gets a place on this list for being one of the finest all-around pictures turned out during the year. In addition, it has two strong points in the exceptional acting of Katherine Hepburn, to my mind the out standing actress on the screen to day, and the fine direction of George Cukor.

The Power and the Glory "The Power and the Glory" not only was one of the finest pictures of the year, but also one of the most interesting, because of the manner in which it was presented. Director William K. Howard did a grand job of bringing this story to the screen in the manner a person might tell it, instead of having the scenes following one another in chronological order. And then there were two beautiful performances, given by Spencer Tracy and Colleen Moore, which were a considerable aid in making the film outstanding. She Done Him Wrong No list would be complete without Mae West's offering, "She Done Him Wrong." This film, directed by Lowell Sherman, was a personal West triumph, inasmuch as she wrote the story and dialog and it was her acting which provided all the entertainment.

Footlight Parade "Footlight Parade" comes into the list as the finest of all productions turned out during the year and there were plenty of them. Although it didn't create as much of a sensation as its musical forerunner, "Forty-Second Officers Search for Missing Miami Girl MIAMI, Dec. 28. (AP) Police and the sherif 's office here today wore searching for Eunice Varner, 16, reported missing since Saturday night.

Every year when I sit down to this task, I wonder where I get the nerve to go through with it.

Alter all, you know, it dpes take considerable of that interior fortitude to set one's self up as a king and decree that 10 certain films were the best turned out during the year.

Despite the fact that several European films have been shown in this country, I am confining my selection solely to our domestic product. Three Little Pigs Without a doubt, the outstanding of all films in my opinion was Walt Disney's "Three Little Pigs.

Granted, it was a short subject and had no living characters. But there are more genuine entertain ment crammed info that film than in any other picture made during the year.
