SELECT ‘CABINET Roosevelt Advisers Depicted in Film in Which He “Dou bles” Hitter. President. Roosevelt's cabinet of “strong, silent men with a passion for anonymity” was selected for him last night in a setting of popping corks and tempting foods as the White House correspondents indulged in their yearly pastime of an inaugura tion dinner and their daily pastime of meddling with the Nation's busi ness. The affair was held in the main ball room of the Mayflower Hotel with Mr. Roosevelt being the guest of honor. Inspired by a recent White House remark that the President would like to have a corps of “modest” assist ants. the correspondents put their best thought into preparation of a mov ing picture solution to the problem and came up with the following •'shrinking violets": J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, de picted among stacks of newspaper clippings about J. Edgar Hoover. Representative Ham Fish, described as “the other hermit of the Hudson Valley.” Dr Stanley “All - time" High, “wanted for fortune telling.” Rev. Charles E. Coughlin and for mer Gov. James M. Curley of Massa chusetts, both of whom have been prominently before the contemporary public eye. Movie Runs Rampant. Completely out of hand after this etroke of personnel genius, the corre spondents’ movie then portrayed their version of a one-man sit-down strike bv John L. Lewis, a series of travel ogues of President Roosevelt running for president "of the universe” and offering to double any proposition made by Hitler in a Berlin campaign speech, and finally a scene of their conception of a Roosevelt Supreme Court made up of squalling infants being told by back-stage voice to vote *'yes.” The picture was actually produced by Fox Movietone News under arrangement and direction of Truman H. Talley and Arthur de Titta. Stars of Radio Contribute. Supplementing this high (not all time) spot of entertainment, a flock of Columbia Broadcasting System stars contributed singing, dancing, sleight of-hand and what-not. Presented by Edward Klauber, first executive vice president of C. B. S., and managed by Bob Trout as master of ceremonies, this program included Lanny Ross. Patti Chapin. Dorothy Young. Senor Wences. A1 Pierce. Mark Warnow and 28 musicians, plus other arts. George O'Connor, local vocalist, *ang with George C. Wilson at the piano and the United States Navy Band, under Lieut. Charles Benter, furnished additional music. With a strict ban on oratory, the nearest approach to a speech was a brief welcome by John Russell Young, White House correspondent for The Star, who was presiding over the first part of the banquet. Walter Trohan of the Chicago Tribune, newly elected president of the association, took over the gavel during the evening. Committee chairmen were; Dinner, Thomas F. Edmunds; entertainment, George E.

Brown announced today the arrest here of William Nesbeth, sought in a New Year eve dpnamite slaying near Sioux Falls, S. Dak. They said Nesbeth was arrested on a fugitive warrant charging murder of Harold Baker in the Sioux Falls powder house explosion. Fred Searls, South Dakota Depart ment of Justice operative, said Baker supposedly was slain by three mem bers of a gang to prevent his squeal ing about a $38,000 jewel robbery at Sioux City, Iowa, last December. Nesbeth asserted he did not know the whereabouts of Lee Bradley, named by Searls as a second fugitive wanted In the Baker killing. A third man, Harry Reeves, was arrested several weeks ago near Sioux City and was sentenced to 40 years for the Sioux City Jewel robbery. A sensational story of Mrs. Helen Seiler, a friend of Baker, that she was another intended victim of the dynamiters sent officers on a Nation wide search for Nesbeth and Bradley, Searls said. Shot five times, r.he said she was left to die with Baker, but crawled from the powder house before the blast. She is held in South Dakota as a material witness.

HEMINGWAY TO WRITE FROM SPANISH FRONT Matador Sidney Franklin Also Sails for Iberian Peninsula to Fight Bulls Again. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 27.—Ernest Hemingway, novelist and short story writer, sailed for Spain today, “to go back to making money the hard way” as a war correspondent. Also on the same boat, headed for the same place, went Sidney Franklin, Brooklyn matador, who also seems to earn money in Spain in a somewhat wearing manner—by fighting bulls. After seven operations he is still nurs ing wounds from the last bulls he fought. Once a newspaper man, always a newspaper man, Hemingway said, as he shrugged ofl reports that he might turn up driving a Loyalist ambulance.' When an American ambulance sailed i recently he Inspected the equipment. | “Oh, I gave them some money to buy an ambulance or something like that," he said. “That’s all.” Hemingway, a newspaper man for 12 years before his fiction writings clicked, has completed a new novel for publication in the Fall, but would not reveal the title.
