BY HKDD.V HOPPER On Feb. 4, 19 13, Hazel Brooks, svelte South African screen actress, announced her engagement to Cedric Gibbons, veteran M.G.M. art director, and disclosed that "We'll be married in a month or so." Kid Cupid apparently got his signals for the couple, who probably set a new longdistance record for Hollywood engagements, didn't get around to using their marriage license until 11:15 p.m. Wednesday.

"We wore dining with Cedric's sister and her husband," the 19-year-old actress said yesterday, "when we decided that now was as good a time as any to tie the knot." Gibbons, 49 and twice married, called up Justice of the Peace Cecil D. Holland of Beverly Hills at his home and made the arrangements. Within the hour the screen couple wore married.

CAMPAIGN With all the deep-thinking newsmen out of town, I have p.actically nothing to bother uie except the 200-pound Latin-American piano virtuoso who moved into my apartment-house and practices as much as nine hours a day. There's a guy who really doesn't know there Is a war on he makes so much noise he can't hear the shooting. At the end of every day his piano, the way he beats the poor, unresisting apparatus, must be reduced to a heap of kindling wood, tangled wires and bits of black and white ivory. The occupants of the apartment house are in even more deplorable condition.

TROUBLE Of course, there is one other problem. The fellow who owns the furniture in my apartment is opening up a place of his own and is about to leave me with bare walls and floors. Getting yourself furniture these days is something. Of course, you can get some hand-me-down from second lieutenants and ensigns who have been suddenly shipped off to Zamboanga or Zanzibar if you're fast enough to get there before somebody else. Furniture back here is down in quality and up in price and they'll deliver it if and when they're ready.

My, My! 'GONE It's going to be lonesome at the National Press Club wifh all those experts gone. About this time of every campaign they get so punchy that they start interviewing each other. There are, you see, a lot of what the boys call "imponderables." A pro-New Dealer picks up the figures from, let's say, Detroit and says "Roosevelt Is a cinch. Detroit registrat ions are way up." Then, just as he sighs and sits back, some dirty dog says "So what? All those new registrants have come in from the country where most of the people are Republican. A man doesn't become a Democrat merely by changing his mailing address!" ARGUMENT Pretty soon the New Dealer raises himself up and says "Yes, but these people are uniort members mostly C.I.O.

and the unions are 100 per cent for Roosevelt." And the other guy says, "Maybe the union leaders are for Roosevelt but why would a Republican from a small town become a Democrat if the only new contact with Roosevelt he has Is the fact that Roosevelt says that if he warts to be patriotic and work to win the war, he has to let some union boss clip his pay check and tell him how to vote?" And the New Deal expert replies "Oh you're a reactionary, I see!" QUESTION'S And I'll miss all those guys who come up to me and say, "You're from Californiahow is California going to go?" It doesn't seem to do a whole lot of good to answer that question. If I tell them the truth that I haven't the foggiest Idea they think I'm peculiar. If I say the Democratic registration Is higher than the Republican they already know that. If I say a lot of people registered Democratic frequently vote Republican, they dop believe it. So I just remind them that California is the place where Congressman Costello got a majority of the votes but lost the election, and they walk away talking to themselves.

ELECTION If you listen to one candidate, the major issue In the election is the quotation of half sentences. If you to another it's the convenient forgetting of bits of history.

Testimony on Trances Testimony by numerous witnesses at' the two-week trial was to the effect that Mrs. Carter had gone into trances and afterward told MacDonald that she had messages from the spirit world informing her that they were soul mates In former reincarnation.

Testimony also was given to the effect that Mrs. Carter told ganizational loaders by having their work cards pulled. "In several instances," Johnson declared, "workers have been forced to register or change their registration to the Democratic party in support of the New Deal government. They a're told that they cannot vote any other than the straight Democratic ticket. This is in direct contradiction of the election laws providing for a free ballot."

Council Must Act With approval by the Health Commission, the matter automatically goes to the City Council and the Mayor for consideration.

Before becoming law, the ordinance must be approved by both. The proposed ordinance provides that the director make an investigation as to the origin of all known sources of air pollution, whatever their cause. Public co-operation is to be solicited by him, the ordinance points out. and he is also authorized to institute educational campaigns when and where needed. Control Sought Stressing the need for prompt action, the ordinance directs that within 90 days of his appointment, the director must submit to the City Council recommendations for control legislation that will alleviate the current air pollution.

Every city department, within the scope of its duties, is re 'groat debt." MacDonald was killed accidentally last Jan. 11 in a target-shooting party in company with Mrs. Carter and other friends.
