G. O. P. Attack Made
On One-Party System
Columbia, S. C., -March 2$.—
“The one party syste^n” was de
scribed today as “a curse to the
State' in the platform adopted
by the so-called South Carolina
Republican party at a convention
which elected delegates to the
national Kepiiblican convention.
"We think the one party sys
tem has lieen a curse to the State
of South Carolina — for the past
j4i,» yeai's at any rate,’' the plat-
I form said. "Only under a two-
; party ..;.vstem can we hope to pro
mote the general welfare of the
people of our State and contribute
to their material progress, and
have a more efficient and honest
government.
“1: is a deplorahle condition
when the leaders of a great com
monwealth are so prejiidieed and
unfair in their desire to continue
in the leadership as not to pro
vide a decent general election
law 1 ecoming a free state. . . ."
by .Martini Raye and Charlio Riig-
gies features this story of .sum
mer dramatie stars on a rural
roiu]).
The plot deals with the tribu
lations and woes of Charlie Rug-
glcs, n producer, wlio takes his
oaravaii of temperamental play
ers to the suburbs. He is obliging
his hacker who wants a chance
to escape from the super-tem
peramental star. Complications
arise when the leading man falls
in love with the farmer's daugh
ter, and a solution Is reached
when the star abdicates, leaving
the road to stardom open for the
farm la.ss.
Directed by James Hogan, the
plctnYe'-featiires Richard Den
ning, William Frawley and Ger
trude Michael in leading roles.
Martha Rave’s dramatic and
comedy performance is highlight
ed by her versatile singing of two
contrasting musical numbers,
“Jeanie With the Light Brown
Hair,’’ and a new hit swing tune,
“Jungle Jingle.”

Washington, March 26.—^What
the Governor of North Carolina
wanted to say to a subipoena serv
er at last night’s North Carolina
State society reception here must
have beeen plenty.
Deputy Marshal James A.
Quinn, with Attorney jT. Edward
O’Connell, pretended that he was
just a reception guest, passing
down the receiving line until he
reached Gov. Clyde Hoey.
“How do you do? Glad to see
you,” beamed the Governor.
“Glad to be here,” said Deputy
Marshal Quinn, slipping a Fed
eral subpoena into the outstretch
ed hand of the chief executive.
The subpoena orders Governor
Hoey to appear in court here at
Ir.lO p. m., April 3, as a witness
in the habeas corpus hearing of
William Dudley Pelley, Silver
Shirt chief.
Mr, O'Connell said the stage-
comedy trick was the only way
he could get to Governor Hoey.
Mr. O’Connell is Mr. Pelley’s at

Paris, March 26. — Premier
Paul Reynaiud In a fighting
speech today presented his cabi
net to the nation as purely a
“war government” with but one
goal, "Beat the enemy.”
’’It is to make war and make
It in every field,” the 61-year-old
Premier said In a radio talk, his
first since taking over the reins
of government from Edouard'
Daladler last iweek.
He emphasi^ that'France to
day after seven months of war
against Germany was "neither in
vaded, surprised, nor uncovered.”
Again and again the slight but
vigorous Premier reiterated that
his government, which haa de
cided to remain in power despite
the one-vote majority it gained
in its first parliamentary presen
tation, had one motive and ope
motive alone—“to tight the war.”
