His opposition to further court action was taken to indicate that the now gray-haired, 55-year-old prisoner was basing his hopes for freedom on a pardon from Culbert L.

Olson was Mooney's choice for governor on the Democratic primary ticket and has been quoted as saying that he would free Mooney if elected. Herring Bill Passed By House, 107 to 42 By a vote of 107 to 42 the House last night passed finally and sent to the Senate the Herring bill that would amend the State building laws to permit fewer means of egress to dwellings.

It is that she is not afraid to introduce new silhouette, a new material or different combination of materials. KAY FRANCIS Miss Francis mutely testifies as to how the Autumn silhouettes will run with a street dress combining dull black crepe and sage green duvetyn The pencil slim skirt is black, while the generously bloused tunic is green. Kimono-like sleeves extend to the wrist and cutouts of black calf trim the belt placed at the normal waistline. The high neckline is detailed with a Paisley scarf. Pauline Moore THANKS to Harry Brand, studio publicity director for Twentieth Century-Fox, we are able to pass along the following thumbnail sketch of Pauline Moore, Harrisburg's rep resentative in Hollywood.

"Pauline Moore, up and coming actress, was born in Philadelphia on June 15. She attended Darlington Seminary at West Chester, where she furthered her youthful ambition to become a writer penned two volumes of poetry, both titled "Love Lyrics" they were published by the Y. W. C. A.

Another Harrisburjer ANOTHER former Harrisburger, Spencer Charters, who has been doing bit parts in the films for a de cade, is one of Hollywood's busiest "extra" players. He has a small part in "Valley of the Giants," currently appearing at the State, appearing for a few seconds as the fire chief during the burning of the land office scene.

He had a sizeable role in "The Road to Reno," at the Senate last week, impersonating the judge in the divorce court, and two weekh ago at nershey appeared Girls School," as a watchman.

How to Watch Football EACH year, simultaneous with the event of the Autumnal equinox, a problem arises in the Nation, a problem so intricate that in more than a quarter of a century no satisfactory solution has yet been achieved. The problem is to be or not to be a football fan.

Private industry is hiring WPA workers in considerable numbers, but available figures do not indicate the work-relief army is simmering down to an irreducible mass of workers who don't want other work or whom employers don't want to hire.

Federal officials are pleased with their latest WPA turnover figures for the Country. In August, latest month for which figures can be had, 195,000 persons left WPA rolls and an es timated 13U.UU0 took private m- dustry jobs. About 55,000 actually said they were taking other jobs and 75,000 more quit without saying why. Officials can't see why those in the latter group quit unless it was to get better em pioyment. Another 65,000 were discharged for inefficiency or laid on.

WPA has a present peak ot 3,1,000 workers only 16 per cent, have been on the rolls steadily since the first peak in February, 1936. More than uuu.uuu persons have worked on WPA at one time or another. About 53 per cent, of those added to the rolls in August were going on WPA for the hrst time, approximately the percentage in previous months. The separation rate also has remained relatively steady, around 6 per cent. Deputy Administrator Aubrey Williams says: "We're not just churning around with the same people.

This is an economic problem." Nazis Follow Fascists INCREASED trouble with Arabs in Palestine coincides with the OONEY SEEKS PUBLIC HEARING By VnileS Pret SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11. Thomas J. Moonev. convicted of the Preparedness Day bombing here in 1916, placed his hope for freedom on political or economic action to dav.

All court action pressed in his behalf during the years he has spent in San Quentin prison ended with the Supreme Court's denial of a writ of Certioari to review his case, Mooney said. Two wires were sent by Mooney, one. to his attorney, John F. Fin erty, in Washington, in which he denounced the Supreme Court, and the other to Governor Frank F. Merriam.

Merriam was asked to grant an immediate public hearing and to make a decision on an application for immediate pardon prior to the 8 General Elections. "You have resorted to the time- worn political subterfuge of de clining to act on the grounds that the case is pending in the courts," Mooney said. "You are hereby duly notified by me that all court actions in my behalf are now con cluded and no other actions are contemplated, and I now, not only insist but demand that this outrageous procrastination be ended Merriam is one of six governors, all Republicans, who have been asked to set Mooney free. Several refused outright and others failed to take action on pleas. The case has been fought through all the courts, ending with yesterday's Supreme Court decision.

Finerty with George Davis, an other Mooney lawyer, talked of in stituting an original action for a writ of Habeas Corpus similar to that turned down by the Cali fornia State Supreme Court last year. Mooney's wire to Finerty, however, disclosed that he was "absolutely opposed" to filing any court action. Mooney said the Supreme Court decision was "monstrously unjust" and "branded the court as a bulwark of the preda- Still Coughing? No matter how many medicines you have tried for your common cough, chest cold, or bronchial irritation, you may get relief now with Creomulsion.

"A MAN TO REMEMBER" COMING TO THE SENATE 1 WEEK STARTING SATURDAY A glance at the map shows the "vermiform appendix" of the West Shore township, a little finger of land running south along the river, surrounded almost entirely by the boroughs of Wormleysburg on the north, Lemoyne on the west and New Cumberland on the south. It is a kind of "nobody's child," the municipalities up to now showing no desire to annex it What makes the "orphan" important is that it embraces the Bottleneck. Until the State took over the underpass, the township was faced with the financial obligation to keep the road in repair and finance its improvements. Likewise the adjoining boroughs shied away from annexing the territory. With State maintenance of the hishway, the financial responsibility of that part of the township is not so heavy, but the area is still remote from the to nship's center and often becomes a neglected child.
